Featured Reviews

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy. VirusTotal should add more details like those from competitors such as URL Void or Symantec URL Checker, which show the category of websites. The addition of a file selection option to analyze files would also enhance the service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to keep track of the endpoints and the data that is available from the endpoints is valuable. We can see the patch levels, whether Windows endpoints are active or inactive, and who is the last user that was logged on. We get a lot of granular information that is valuable even what we are not talking from a security standpoint."
"The tool's most valuable feature is EDR."
"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."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the Deep Visibility. It gives you the ability to search all actions that were taken on a specific machine, like writing register keys, executing software, opening, reading, and writing files. All that stuff is available from the SentinelOne console. I'm able to see which software is permanent on a machine, and how that happened, whether by registry keys or writing it to a special folder on the machine."
"Having the capability to gain insights across our network, observe all our machines, and have a centralized view of what's protected and where things are is incredibly advantageous."
"My advice would be to implement SentinelOne immediately; it is one of the top things that we've implemented and it has saved us countless hours."
"Of all the products on the market today, I can say that they are the ones that I trust the absolute most to protect my clients."
"I am particularly interested in the new app vulnerability module that is included with the Singularity Complete edition."
"It can scan the dark web and find if an email ID has been compromised. This is another area that we have not explored yet."
"The product is easy to use with coding, such as Python or Java, via its API."
"It allows us to see if there have been previous reports on certain indicators of compromise, providing insights from other security professionals."
"It gives detailed information about suspicious IPs, which is one of its most valuable features."
"I have never had any problems with stability or bugs while using VirusTotal."
"VirusTotal provides 95% to 98% accurate information."
"With VirusTotal, I can check for any hash, malware, file, domain, IP URL, or malicious URL, and Kaspersky stays clean."
"The most valuable feature is the worldwide malware information database."
 

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete itself is somewhat laggy and loads slowly at times."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint provides strong protection and automation capabilities, but there are a few areas where it could be improved, such as enhancing the user experience with more intuitive dashboards and simplified workflows."
"Set up is very labor-intensive."
"Managing the false positives creates additional management overhead."
"Although the SentinelOne firewall seems to offer potential benefits, in reality, it hasn't proven to be very helpful."
"I would suggest a lot of improvements; first, the dashboard is critical for new joiners, especially with the addition of Purple AI and EDR, which makes it complex for new SOC users."
"Regarding necessary improvements for support, there have been cases where support doesn't fully understand what I'm saying or sometimes what I request ends up being very redundant, because even though I manage many clients, when a case is opened for the same issue, they ask me for the same information even though it's already been handled before."
"They should host a data center in Saudi Arabia, making it easy for customers to go for a SaaS model."
"There should be room for improvement, particularly in the API side of things."
"I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy."
"They can improve the telemetry. Whenever we handle a sample, they cannot provide any information about a victim."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in making some of the most useful features more accessible in the non-paid version."
"I would like to see improved correlation with other threat intelligence sources, not just reliant on its own database, to enhance the database of threat intelligence that VirusTotal offers."
"The platform could improve in the areas of endpoints and networks."
"I would like to see an improved user interface and some automation."
"VirusTotal needs better advertisement and promotion, especially in the Middle East, since it is not yet widely recognized or popular in that region."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."
"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."
"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."
"After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair."
"It is expensive. There is no doubt about it. If one of the functions does not work, it becomes very difficult for any CIO to justify the cost."
"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."
"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very economical."
"VirusTotal is an expensive solution."
"We are using VirusTotal with free licenses, managing the license limits across three or four accounts, thus incurring no costs."
