Simple antivirus solution integrates well but could improve pricing and currency options

I don't really have experience working with these solutions. I promote them for our clients, but I don't work with them. I can't share my experience with these tools as I make assumptions about that. For both Adlumin and CrowdStrike, both confirm that they're scalable and enterprise-ready and all those kinds of things. We haven't had any specific problem with either of those. We just have a preference for which one we would prefer. If somebody says they want to use a different one from the one that we prefer, then we have to find reasons why they aren't. But scalability is not one of the reasons that one is better over the other. I don't really have advice for people that are looking into using Sentinel; just do your research across what is available. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Sentinel a seven.

Helps identify vulnerabilities, recover from attacks swiftly, and unify security management from a single console

Singularity Platform has an easy-to-use console. When it comes to customization, it has some options, but I wouldn't say it is very customizable. If you are asking if this is fully customizable, I would say it is partially customizable, not fully customizable. In some places, I can understand from a security background that they have kept those features considering security. However, it lacks customization and could enable much more than that. Even though Singularity Platform has multiple integrations with multiple solutions, it still needs more because competitive vendors such as CrowdStrike and Trend Micro provide more integrations than SentinelOne. The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors. We can integrate Fortinet and Palo Alto, which are big players, but there are many other small companies. Even Zoho is a significant player in our market, but there are no integrations for Zoho.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is simple to use."

"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."

"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."

"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."

"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."

"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."

"In my opinion, Sentinel's best features include that it's a very easy product to use, it's very simple, and the after-sale service is very good."

"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."

More Sentinel pros

"The main benefits the end-user gets from Singularity Platform are, first, the program itself being very small, and then we get better output from applications running on their systems."

"During the time of attacks, if there is any data loss, we were able to easily roll back those attacks and retrieve that data for the client with a single click."

"Singularity Platform allows us to have one single view of potential threats and the health of our environment, helping us optimize operational efficiency."

"Singularity Platform's real-time personalization feature has helped our customer experience strategies by allowing us to have different workspaces where we have custom views, and depending on the use case because we have many products that use Singularity Platform, they interact with the UI in different ways, producing different elements and giving us tailored views for different products."

Cons

"Price is always a consideration, so the price would be nice if it were lower."

"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."

"There are still a few vendor-specific devices for which Sentinel needs to work on integration, such as Netskope devices."

"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."

"It is an ancient product."

"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."

"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"

"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."

More Sentinel cons

"The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors."

"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."

"Sometimes, these customized solutions our developers develop also get flagged in real time, and the processes get stopped and are blocked, and we have to whitelist the processes."

"In my opinion, the real-time monitoring capabilities in Singularity Platform sometimes work and sometimes they don't, because there are a lot of false positives and people use unsigned applications which get deleted or quarantined by the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We inquired about getting support from the vendor, Micro Focus, but the cost was very high."

"Sentinel is moderately priced."

"The solution’s pricing is aligned with its competitors."

"We receive a pricing discount because of our ongoing partnership with Micro Focus."

"Sentinel is a subscription-based solution."

"Sentinel's slightly on the expensive side."
