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."
"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"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."
"SentinelOne has improved the overall security posture of the firm without creating a lot of hassle for our end users. Everything is a bit more secure. We think Singularity Complete has helped us reduce our organizational risks."
"I really love how simple and effective the product is. I really love the visibility it gives me into the endpoint. I really love that they open their product to the customer to enhance it with custom-made software, giving you the APIs to program it. Those are all things competitors don't have."
"It is easy to collect and retain logs with SentinelOne."
"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."
"All customers from us are very happy because the biggest difference is that SentinelOne Singularity Complete gives us the support team and the TAC team."
"The most valuable features I find in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint are the EDR, lateral movement feature, and machine learning feature, which I find impressive."
"This feature is fantastic because it remediates issues while maintaining a clear audit trail, which is great for compliance."
"The solution works well in general."
 

Cons

"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"When sending out new updates, you have to figure out which one is the right one, so it would be easier if they committed to that, because when you're sitting out updates, there are different names and something different, making it tricky to figure out which one is compatible with your program or company."
"In the SIEM solution, I would like to see improvements in the data injection process, as it is very fast, and the log collector option is very nice. However, there are issues in blocking the hash, which is complicated due to different segregation for Windows, Linux, and macOS, so I ask for an improvement in this hash blocking function and the manual generation of how many VSS snapshots."
"The way Singularity Complete handles blocking external mass storage is annoying because it is so difficult to unblock single endpoints."
"The update process can be better. It is very easy to deploy, but over a long period, the updating process can be a little messy. In some EDR solutions, you end up with a very good mechanism to push new versions. It could do with a little work in that area. It is not particularly difficult, but it could do with a little work."
"I am utilizing Purple AI, but I feel that it is not available in our infrastructure since we have offloaded SentinelOne only on our servers and not from the vendor."
"For ingestion and correlation across security solutions, the agent is quite heavier when compared to other competition."
"Improvements for SentinelOne's Singularity Complete could include adjusting pricing for specific markets, ensuring affordability, and better alignment with customer expectations in those regions."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively visualizes security data across our solutions, requiring extensive manual effort for analysis limits its effectiveness. I would therefore rate it a seven out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."
"The pricing level for this service and application was very interesting for us. I don't know exactly what the price was, but apparently it was a big surprise that the SOC was also included in our pricing model."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos."
"The price for it is very competitive compared to other Next Gen EPP."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
"Spend money on the security for the endpoint."
"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."
