Helps reduce our MTTD and MTTR while improving our network visibility
SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs more connectors for integration with more solutions. It seems there are currently two separate installers for the same device, one in MSI format likely for Windows and another in a potentially custom EXP format. Ideally, these could be combined into a single installer. If that's not feasible, the EXP format could be used as a self-extracting archive that automatically installs the software using the MSI installer. This would eliminate the need for two separate agents and provide a more streamlined installation experience. SentinelOne endpoint protection enters a reduced functionality mode during certain resource-intensive events. This mode temporarily limits some features and may require a machine restart. In some cases, the agent might even get disabled. To restore full functionality, we need to re-enable the agent and reboot the machine, which can be inconvenient. Ideally, SentinelOne should improve its handling of resource usage to avoid these disruptions. The technical support response time has room for improvement.

Monitors traffic and allows for centralized management but the performance could be better
We wanted a solution that would allow us to detect viruses, malware, spyware, or phishing to keep our data safe. We needed something that had the ability to detect, analyze, and validate each of these types of attacks while generating network access control to restrict access to certain parts of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that SentinelOne doesn't use a lot of system resources or make the system slow. It also performs a full scan quickly—within two hours. It has an easy-to-use end-user GUI."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."
"I really like deep visibility. Deep visibility is one of the coolest features of almost any tool that we use. The breadth of data that is collected there is valuable, and it gives us the ability to search back through literally tons of data going back a specific period of time."
"I work in vulnerability management, and for me, at the moment, its automation is most valuable. For the SOC team, incident visibility would be most valuable, but for me, it is automation."
"Offers good protection against ransomware."
"I was extremely happy with their technical staff. The solution's tech support is top-notch. They have some really good engineers on their team."
"The AI solution makes it easy for customers to detect and manage policies, as well as documents that help customers manage their platform."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
 

Cons

"The learning curve was a little steep."
"The agent update is not the most intuitive process, but I understand why they do it. We have a pretty vertical 64-bit environment for Windows. That is pretty much all we have, but we get alerts for things like the new Linux endpoint or things that do not apply to us. That is probably the only thing that I do not like. There may be some way to turn that off so that I do not get endpoint update alerts from platforms that are not applicable to our system, enterprise, or network."
"It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible."
"There is not much focus on the on-premise solution as the license cap is so huge for small and medium-sized institutions."
"I would like to see category-based web filtering."
"The performance could be better. Singularity lags a bit, and it's a resource-hungry application, so it takes a while to load."
"It is complicated to do certain tasks."
"One of the areas which would benefit from being improved is the policies. There are still software programs where we need to manually program in the policies to tell the system, "This program is legitimate." Some level of AI-based automation in creating those policies would go a long way in improving the amount of time it takes to deploy the system."
"The support is not always so effective."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."
"The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos."
"The cost of utilizing all the features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high."
"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."
"Its pricing is competitive."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
"From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product."
"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."
"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."
"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
