Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

Tenable Security Center and SentinelOne Singularity Identity compete in the cybersecurity solutions category, focusing on vulnerability management and threat detection, respectively. Tenable holds the upper hand with superior vulnerability management features, while SentinelOne excels in threat detection capabilities.

Features: Tenable Security Center is known for its robust vulnerability scanning and comprehensive dashboards that streamline threat prioritization, enhanced by its distributed scan model for efficiency. SentinelOne Singularity Identity employs advanced threat detection with behavior-based analysis, XDR capabilities for seamless third-party integration, and emphasizes real-time threat response and a modern security infrastructure.

Room for Improvement: Tenable Security Center needs to improve reporting flexibility and integration with third-party tools to facilitate better data correlation. Users express the desire for easier report configuration and compliance audits. On the other hand, SentinelOne Singularity Identity could enhance endpoint management, introduce web filtering and automated updates for cloud versions, and improve user interface and support response times.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tenable Security Center, primarily deployed on-premises, presents a stable environment but has a complex initial setup. Its technical support is considered good yet sometimes delayed, with users wanting more proactive service. SentinelOne Singularity Identity, mainly cloud-based, is easier to deploy with real-time updates but needs better support interaction and faster resolution for complex queries.

Pricing and ROI: Tenable Security Center's asset-based pricing may be high for smaller enterprises but provides value to larger organizations, seen in reduced vulnerability management man-hours. SentinelOne Singularity Identity offers competitive pricing compared to solutions like CrowdStrike, though its licensing lacks transparency due to annual increases. Both offer essential security features justifying the investment for modern organizational protection needs.

Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

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.

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights

Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

More Tenable Security Center pros

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"The first-level support has room for improvement."

"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."

"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."

"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."

"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."

"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."

"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."

"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"

"The web application scanning area can be improved."

"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."

More Tenable Security Center cons

Zafran Security

Singularity Identity, a component of the Singularity platform, provides threat detection & response (ITDR) capabilities to defend Active Directory and domain-joined endpoints in real-time from adversaries aiming to gain persistent, elevated privilege and move covertly. Singularity Identity provides actionable, high-fidelity insight as attacks emerge from managed and unmanaged devices. It detects identity misuse and reconnaissance activity happening within endpoint processes targeting critical domain servers, service accounts, local credentials, local data, network data, and cloud data. On-agent cloaking and deception techniques slow the adversary down while providing situational awareness and halting adversarial attempts at lateral movement. Singularity Identity helps you detect and respond to identity-based attacks, providing early warning while misdirecting them away from production assets.

Singularity Identity’s primary use case is to protect credential data and disrupt identity-based attacks. The most valuable function of Singularity Identity is its ability to misdirect attackers by providing deceptive data to identity-based recon attacks. Additionally, it can hide and deny access to locally stored credentials or identity data on Active Directory domain controllers.

Singularity Identity also provides rapid detection and respond to identity attacks, capturing attack activity and feeding it directly to the Singularity platform’s Security DataLake for enterprise-wide analysis and response.

By implementing Singularity Identity, organizations benefit from enhanced security, reduced credential-related risks, and improved user productivity. It detects and responds to identity-based attacks, ensuring only authorized individuals can access critical identity data. With its cloaking capabilities to hide identity stored locally on endpoints or in the identity infrastructure and it’s ability to provide decoy results to identity-based attacks, organizations can effectively secure their sensitive or privileged identities, resulting in improved overall identity security.
