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.

Security suite has protected individual devices from threats, while installation and network features require improvements
BIG-IP is actually the LTM, Link Load Balancer, which comes with ASM, meaning Application Security Module. It consists of multiple modules, such as ASM, SWG, and a domain DNS manager. ZoneAlarm allows defining trusted and public networks, which helps maintain security in public Wi-Fi environments. It offers comprehensive protection, securing PCs against threats. Users do not experience any system slowdowns while scanning. Harmony Browser protects all your browsing activity and is bundled with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Connect. It provides a small but effective security layer and sometimes comes packaged with the larger Harmony suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can see the difference between traditional antivirus and what we can do with SentinelOne; even if the price is a little bit more, we can use EDR, stop network activity, do whatever we need on the endpoint from the security engineer side, and we can see that it's at a completely different level."
"I would recommend SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint to other users because its threat detection and alerting are very quick."
"SentinelOne also provides equal protection across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I have all of them and every flavor of them you could possibly imagine. They've done a great job because I still have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support. It can support legacy environments as well as newer environments, including all the latest OS's... There are cost savings not only on licensing but because I don't have to have different people managing different consoles."
"The initial setup is very straightforward and easy."
"We have been protecting more than 100 companies (with no infections) since the product was installed."
"I have tried some paid tools, but I have found that Singularity Platform is far better than others, and as a log analyst and SOC analyst, I find it better than others."
"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."
"I have found the activity timeline and threat analysis to be particularly useful."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."
 

Cons

"It would be good to see some small tools to test files or hashes that are a potential threat, I know there are already products offering this."
"The setup process could be improved."
"The channel policy has room for improvement."
"I'd like to see more documentation."
"Sometimes I get a response from them, but at times they may not have answers and defer to the engineering team, which can prolong the resolution time beyond expectations for customer satisfaction."
"The overall integration functionality for this solution could be improved."
"One of the things they could do is extend the product range to include Android and iPhone so that you could have the app on your phone as well. There is probably something going on there with that, but that's something that they're lacking at the moment. For instance, if I was to have to recommend a client to protect their phone, I'd have to recommend Norton or something else. I don't have an answer within the SentinelOne solution."
"The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."
"Its price is per endpoint per year. One of the features of its licensing is that it is a multi-tenanted solution. From an MSSP point of view, if I want to have several different virtual clouds of customers, it is supported natively, which is not the case with, for example, Microsoft Defender. Another nice thing about it is that you can buy one license if you want to. Some vendors insist that you buy 50 or 100, whereas here, you can just buy one."
"The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike."
"It's around $8 per client per month."
"The price is costly compared to what we were previously paying with Microsoft Defender and McAfee."
"SentinelOne can cost approximately $70 per device."
"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."
"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."
