Behavioral AI has protected critical applications and now blocks complex external attacks
I think Salt Security could improve their implementations. The one that I saw was very complex and took quite a bit of time, and if the environment is unique at all, it takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to properly ensure that it will be implemented. A lot of times there is a steep learning curve for someone that hasn't been in it to figure out the APIs and really dig deep into it, but once you get used to it, it is easy. However, that ramp-up period could be tough. I think Salt Security could use a more enterprise focus. Some of the smaller companies that I have referred them to think it is a little bit too complex for them, so if they could come up with a different version or something a little bit easier to simplify their platform, they may be able to find more customers that way.

Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response
Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Salt Security gave me much better visibility into API risk, helping me identify exposed endpoints, misconfigured APIs, and sensitive data flowing through APIs that required additional controls, and it has become an important part of my API security program."
"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."
"Salt Security has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by being able to stop cyberattacks and ensure that they have proper security over all their applications, giving them a sense of peace of mind that they have security over something that could ultimately take down the whole company if not mitigated properly."
"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"SentinelOne is very simple to install and very simple to manage. It's very aggressive, so it does protection well, and it seems to be stopping attacks that other solutions cannot."
"The best aspect of SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is its integration with AI, which provides initial analysis of alerts, gives an overview of what the alert or threat is about, and provides insight into what is happening."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic remediation."
"The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities."
"Stability-wise, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very good, as it runs continuously, and if our endpoint is online, it will protect our endpoint 100 percent."
"The CapEX is very low because you don't have to buy any management tools or install them on your hardware."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has helped reduce my team's time in analyzing alerts and determining what is wrong with endpoints, and it also makes investigations easier without disrupting users."
"The best part of the agent is that users can't remove or disable it, so endpoints will be safe. I can control it from the portal. I can see when it's updated and I can push updates from the portal. The greatness of SentinelOne is that our end-users don't see anything to do with the agents. Some of them don't even know it's on their laptops. And that's a good thing."
 

Cons

"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges."
"The most difficult part of using Singularity Complete is logging in, as they often update the management console."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint generates a high number of false positive alerts, which is a downside, along with high resource consumption leading to poor network connectivity."
"The solution could improve its notifications and communications."
"SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete."
"The only problem I have is they don't manually review the threat files. That's the only thing I'm concerned about."
"To improve SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, I want to continue working on this and provide even more data, more visibility, and everything clearer and faster."
"In SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, one area that has room for improvement is the custom dashboard, which is not supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year."
"We have not been beaten in the market by pricing, so we have been feeling good about that. The discussions we have had over the years keep us at a very low price per unit. It can always get better, but we also know there is a cost to the backend."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"For our use case, the solution is affordable. There are not any hidden fees."
"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."
"Nothing good is cheap, and SentinelOne is no exception."
"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."
"There are cheaper options out there that I know are not as effective. I have administered several of them, not for this organization but for others. The thing I like about SentinelOne is that I know that if it raises an alert, it is worth looking at, so we are not dealing with a lot of false positives. It is rare."
