Featured Reviews

Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Chief Information Security Officer at Barry-Wehmiller
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.
Dennis O'Reilly - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber SecOps Principal at Dotcom Security
Provides end-to-end antivirus protection and has good stability
Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control. It can integrate with other Broadcom solutions, such as Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP. If you want to send an email, it gets scanned through endpoint protection and DLP. We get all Symantec functionality in a single pane.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity provides machine learning capabilities for threat detection; among the use cases, I have found static AI, behavioral AI, and dynamic AI to help with malware detection, so there are three types of AI in the Singularity console agent."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"They manage to solve detection quite nicely, with rather elaborate detection compared to other providers, and Symantec also provides a useful set of information linked to each of the attacked computers."
"The most valuable feature is Click-time URL protection."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Their integrations are pretty good as are their Sandbox solutions, their proxies, and their LTAs with API or ICAP protocols."
"Real-time threat analysis is quick and takes action on threats immediately."
"It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards."
"The great advantage in using this product is it creates multiple services."
"Endpoint to network is a good feature, it can protect the line."
 

Cons

"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"It also needs network-based threat protection for shared folders and files."
"An improvement could be made on the reporting because then it would be easier to collect information and submit it for compliance."
"There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."
"It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled."
"There are some ‎features that would add value to this product. One of them would be a graphical presentation of threats that the system has encountered."
"Symantec appliances need improvement. The whole appliance environment is a robust system and it needs a massive amount of storage space. If you have to increase or speed up the background storage it's a pretty complicated process. The scalability and sizing is critical, and if you do it wrong you run into issues pretty quickly."
"Scalability could be better."
"One area for improvement could be the pricing model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit high."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"The pricing of this solution is inexpensive and affordable."
"Pricing is good. It is nice to have a great product at a fair price."
"The price is quite expensive."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection has an average price."
"Symantec Advanced Threat Protection's pricing is comparable."

I have no visibility into pricing, setup costs, or licensing as the government handles these aspects directly with SentinelOne. We do the integrating, and they process the payments.
What needs improvement with SentinelOne Singularity Identity?
Regarding improvements, I believe that API integration in third-party applications could be better. The Singularity tool uses its own credential in the record features.

One of the main use cases I describe is that we face lateral movement in our customer's server side. The customer is using 50 or more servers for the news channel, Daily Thanthi. Among those, one s...
