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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart."

"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."

"The XDR capabilities are very good."

"The incident and threat logs are great."

"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."

"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."

"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."

"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."

More SentinelOne Singularity Identity pros

"The most effective feature of Tenable Security Center for detecting vulnerabilities is its capability for critical mapping."

"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."

"The feature we've liked most recently was being able to take the YARA rules from FireEye and put them into Tenable's scan for the most recent SolarWinds exploit. That was really useful."

"It's a very useful tool."

"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."

"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."

"Very customizable with a lot of templates."

More Tenable Security Center pros

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."

"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."

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

"There is a clear roadmap for improvements, including enhancing capabilities with AI and seamless functionality in an MSP model for deeper visibility across multiple agencies. Further development is anticipated to continue enhancing the solution."

"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."

"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."

"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."

"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."

More SentinelOne Singularity Identity cons

"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."

"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."

"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."

"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."

"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."

"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."

"In terms of configuration, there is some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."

"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."

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.
