Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited

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.

Centralized security console has unified threat telemetry and automated investigation playbooks

The CPU utilization is very high with Trellix XDR. We are getting multiple types of CPU utilization from the EPP solution, with the EPP agent reaching as high as 80 percent CPU utilization. This creates big challenges for us. The support experience is also concerning. When we require support from Trellix immediately with high priority, we receive multiple emails requesting logs of various types. After that, we have to escalate to Trellix higher management, and then their agent will come in for a remote session to resolve any issues. I would give them eight out of ten points because of the high CPU utilization and the delayed support we experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"It integrates well into the environment."

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features are threat hunting, the ability to disconnect or disable a machine's network connection in real time, and the ability to restore the connection once the issue is resolved quickly."

"It is easy to manage and install. It has a very nice graphical interface that is very intuitive when end users are using it. You don't have to follow or read a book about 600 pages to have knowledge on how to use it. When SentinelOne is up and running, you can easily find your way."

"The remediation and rollback features are pretty impressive."

"The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."

"It is purely cloud-based, meaning you don't need to have something installed, such as a server on-prem. You have cloud management and can access it from anywhere, with integration with SSO, with one click. It's also very lightweight."

"In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature."

"Overall, SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps me consolidate my security solutions, being the best in endpoint, cloud, and identity."

"I could not recommend SentinelOne highly enough."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."

"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."

"Because Trellix gives us multiple types of modules, we are using a single ePO console for multiple solutions including application control, DLP, and XDR."

"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."

Cons

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Security could always be better."

"SentinelOne can improve by having better integration with Active Directory."

"We ran into production issues related to CPU utilization on Linux endpoints. Our production environment's performance got degraded like anything."

"The primary issue is the console's random automatic logouts, requiring users to repeatedly re-enter their username and password."

"The SentinelOne portal is not user-friendly, which is one of its drawbacks."

"It is an expensive product."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete could improve by having DNS filtering. Other competitor solutions have this feature."

"The volume of shadow copies becomes too large and we have to manage that."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."

"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."

"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."

"The CPU utilization is very high with Trellix XDR; we are getting multiple types of CPU utilization from the EPP solution, with the EPP agent reaching as high as 80 percent CPU utilization, which creates big challenges for us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The tool's price is moderate."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly."

"SentinelOne makes licensing easy by reducing the number of modules or packages that they have to offer. A lot of other vendors make licensing very complicated with separate modules or separate costs. By bundling necessary features, SentinelOne ensures that security leaders are not left confused by options. This bundling of necessities has served our needs well."

"My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne."

"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."

"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."

"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."

"The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it."

"The pricing was very similar in terms of its competitors, but I believe SentinelOne's capability and willingness to attract new business allowed us to save some extra money."
