Helps reduce our threat detection time, response time, and improve our security
Pros and Cons
  • "I find the application inventory feature to be extremely useful."
  • "Although the SentinelOne firewall seems to offer potential benefits, in reality, it hasn't proven to be very helpful."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to manage incidents that come in. 

How has it helped my organization?

We wanted a solution that could help protect all of our endpoints. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is on all of our servers, and all of our endpoints, to protect against threats to the university.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has aided our organization by offering a centralized platform for comprehensive visibility. It has enabled us to conveniently monitor all threats and manage our devices through the antivirus, all within a single interface.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has certainly reduced the number of alerts over the past two years in my experience. We receive very few alerts now, which is excellent.

It has helped us free up our time to focus on other tasks. The solution is very helpful for configuring various exclusions. This ensures that the alerts we do receive, which are false positives, will not pester us in the future. This definitely provides us with more freedom and time to work on other matters.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR, which is now just a few minutes after detection.

It has helped our organization save costs.

Singularity has certainly reduced the risk for our organization. With its installation across all endpoints and servers, we are confident that it will effectively protect us against malware or intrusions attempting to breach our environment.

What is most valuable?

I find the application inventory feature to be extremely useful. We utilize GreenMile for MAC management, and it's not as straightforward to locate the inventory of the applications installed on our computers. As a result, I have been using the application inventory feature more frequently to accurately identify the programs installed on each machine.

What needs improvement?

One aspect to consider is the SentinelOne network firewall they have in place. I believe they implemented it approximately a year ago. Initially, we faced challenges during the setup phase, which consumed a considerable amount of time. Although the SentinelOne firewall seems to offer potential benefits, in reality, it hasn't proven to be very helpful. While the idea behind it appears promising, I think SentinelOne should consider removing it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is stable and I have not seen any downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We don't possess as many endpoints in comparison to, I suppose, other companies and universities. However, I believe that if we were to double them today, scaling Singularity Complete would become quite effortless.

How are customer service and support?

The times I've contacted customer support, it has been really good. There was only one instance when the support was very poor. However, after my concern was escalated to a supervisor or someone on the management team, my issue was resolved. So, I believe that was the only occurrence out of numerous customer interactions.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used ESET. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.

We currently only have a couple of integrations with Singularity Complete. I believe there is potential for more integration. As of now, we have only installed two apps that integrate with Singularity Complete.

No maintenance is required from our end.

SentinelOne is excellent as a strategic security partner. There have been numerous advancements, and since I began using the platform two years ago, they have undergone substantial changes. They have introduced many new features, and I have witnessed significant company growth over the past two years.

I suggest examining the various features available in SentinelOne's complete version. We have experienced numerous advantages with it. Often, when SentinelOne introduces new features, we don't notice them until they are fully developed. It's beneficial to explore some of the new features that are in beta. This allows us to experiment with them and assess how they can enhance our environment.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Indicators of compromise, such as hash files, IP addresses, and domain names are blocked for all endpoints with one click
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Since SentinelOne Hologram was an Attivo Networks product acquired by Microsoft, I have to install a different agent on endpoints for that product. It would be better if the same SentinelOne agent could be used for both the EDR and deception technology."

What is our primary use case?

Initially, we had only detection and response on each endpoint where we installed the agent. Now, we are expanding from detection and response to action. For example, if it finds something on the endpoint, it will not only detect and report it, but it will also respond and block it or isolate the endpoint.

It's all about protecting our endpoints and devices, including servers, Windows and Mac machines, whether laptops or desktops.

How has it helped my organization?

As a security guy, I don't need to have a VMware or Windows expert help me deploy this environment because it's purely cloud-based.

We had Trend Micro with an on-prem server from which we were pushing updates on a daily basis. We have connectivity between our head office and regional offices, but if that connection was overutilized, those updates would not be pushed in a timely manner. Now we don't have that issue. A laptop, for example, just pulls the updates automatically, and they don't need to come through a congested connection.

Overall, it has reduced our risk by 50 to 60 percent.

What is most valuable?

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. It provides granular control as it is cloud-based, and there is no on-prem hardware or software to manage.

It protects against malware, suspicious activities, and suspicious people on the endpoint itself. The endpoint can be a user machine, a server, or an IoT device.

Another feature I like is that when there are indicators of compromise, such as hash files, IP addresses, or domain names, you can add them straight away with one click, and, boom, everyone will have them blocked right away.

The detection is very good and very fast. Once we install it, files or malicious software that are installed on the system are quarantined or deleted right away. The response is also fast.

We have many old machines with outdated software that have been compromised, with malicious software installed on them. It detects all these issues, including that the software is not updated and that they have all these malicious files. It helps us identify those endpoints. All those machines are sent to be upgraded and to have things removed or installed—whatever actions are needed. And for servers that are running software for the business and that can't be upgraded on-the-fly, isolated, or shut down right away, we create an isolated network for them and give access only to the particular users who need them.

What needs improvement?

Since SentinelOne Hologram was an Attivo Networks product acquired by Microsoft, I have to install a different agent on endpoints for that product. It would be better if the same SentinelOne agent could be used for both the EDR and deception technology. I don't want to have to install an additional agent on all 5,000 of our endpoints. If the SentinelOne EDR agent could be used for both Hologram and SentinelOne, that would be ideal.

For how long have I used the solution?

It's been a year since we started using this product. We recently extended it to XDR for instant response. We have expanded with SentinelOne EDR.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable. So far, we haven't faced an issue.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is a nine out of 10.

How are customer service and support?

The support is excellent.

As a strategic security partner they are a nine out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We tried CrowdStrike. The issue with it was that it was not compatible with older iOS and Windows OSes. We have some old servers in our data center that are now undergoing a migration process. On top of that, we have some Windows machines that are running on Windows 8, and it did not support them. We had to switch to SentinelOne since it supports those clients. CrowdStrike is also a very expensive solution.

Trend Micro is not smart; sometimes it's unable to detect malicious files.

SentinelOne is faster. It scans and detects issues and vulnerabilities on endpoints in real time. That's the main thing you look for when it comes to EDR.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward and simple for us. We just needed to install the agent on the end-user machines, open communication to their cloud URLs through our firewalls, and do some initial configuration on the console with help from their team.

We have a hybrid structure, not only on-prem. We have services running in the cloud as well as on-prem. We have multiple locations across regions and in different countries.

It's not difficult to maintain since it's purely on the cloud. If there are updates, they notify us. That is the maintenance activity. They update our services. Once all the environments move to the cloud, we won't need to worry about maintenance anymore. It depends on the vendor; there's nothing much to do on our end. They push any end-user updates, or they make them available to us and we push them out from the console.

What about the implementation team?

It was not done in-house. We worked directly with SentinelOne support. They provided trial versions for two to three months and assigned SentinelOne engineers to help deploy it on some machines as a PoC. There were three or four people involved in total, including their engineers. After that PoC we bought the product.

What other advice do I have?

We have a SOC solution as well, and we are trying to integrate playbooks. With the SIEM solution, we are able to run multiple playbooks without issues. Using our proxy gateway and detection technology, we have pretty good options to create playbooks without any hard configuration.

The quality and maturity of the solution are excellent. I would recommend SentinelOne.

I would rate the stability of the solution as a nine out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the technical support of SentinelOne as an eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment of the solution was straightforward. SentinelOne is typically used across multiple locations and departments for our clients. Fortunately, it demands very little continuous maintenance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is reasonably priced.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing SentinelOne, we evaluated other solutions, including SmartOps. SentinelOne stood out with its advanced AI engine, especially evident in recent micro-attack evaluations.

What other advice do I have?

Singularity Complete offers strong integration capabilities with over 100 APIs and excellent integration with other SentinelOne solutions.

Asset visibility with Singularity Complete is crucial for my clients as it enables a clear understanding of their network and assets. It is important because without knowing what is in their environment, it is challenging to secure it effectively.

It is crucial for me that Ranger requires no new hardware or network changes. This is very important as it simplifies deployments and enhances scalability for us.

Ranger assists in preventing vulnerable devices from being compromised. It can isolate devices on the network in response to a threat, automatically detecting and responding to issues such as a virus, ensuring swift action and containment.

Singularity has successfully reduced alerts by 80%, significantly improving the efficiency of the alert management process.

Singularity has freed up people's time, reducing their workload by approximately 45%, and enabling them to focus on other projects and tasks more efficiently.

Singularity has proven to be cost-effective for our clients, with an estimated cost reduction of around 30%.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high quality and built for enterprise-level security.

I'm very pleased with SentinelOne as a strategic security partner. Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a nine out of ten.

My advice to new users is to adopt SentinelOne's Singularity Complete platform, and if feasible, opt for the visual response option for enhanced security measures.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A mature solution that has a good amount of documentation and provides comprehensive threat detection and response
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's in-place upgrades have been very helpful."
  • "The ability to have more direct purchasing for smaller groups and smaller businesses would be great."

What is our primary use case?

We utilize SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our EDR. The solution has replaced our previous solutions, Trend Micro and Symantec antivirus.

How has it helped my organization?

The Symantec agent we had before would require almost a reboot every time you would make a change, an agent update, or even sometimes in definitions. None of them were as comprehensive as SentinelOne Singularity Complete regarding threat detection and response. I don't believe any of them had any of the rollback features that are available through SentinelOne.

Overall, having more coverage and confidence in our antivirus is part of our decision to choose SentinelOne Singularity Complete. The other consideration was cost. We were going to upgrade to a more comprehensive threat protection solution either way. We were also looking at CrowdStrike then, and SentinelOne beat it by pricing while offering the protection we were looking for.

What is most valuable?

The solution's in-place upgrades have been very helpful. Another valuable feature is the ability to set policy exclusions on different scope levels, such as at the site or across all sites. Having the API access and documentation for the API is very valuable. If we needed a feature that didn't already exist in the SentinelOne console, we could cook it up ourselves and have it run whenever we wanted.

What needs improvement?

I feel like SentinelOne is very locked away from being able to be sold to smaller businesses to self-manage. We did have to jump through a lot of hoops to purchase SentinelOne and have control over it because, most of the time, you're forced to go through a reseller. In our experience, the reseller also wanted to manage it for us.

Unless it's a managed detection and response, that's not adding as much value as adding access outside of our organization that we may not necessarily want. The ability to have more direct purchasing for smaller groups and smaller businesses would be great. However, I understand if that's not part of what SentinelOne wants and is not lucrative for their bottom line.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete since June 2021.

How are customer service and support?

My only issue with the solution's technical support so far is that we can only communicate via email tickets, not phone calls. However, we've still been able to resolve the majority of issues. Their response time is pretty fair. I wish there were more abilities to conduct a remote session because there are a lot of situations where I will have to get walked through some instructions.

Then I have to give feedback saying that an instruction is unavailable, or I can't do this because this device is in this situation or this mode. There may have to be three or four back-and-forth messages before we can proceed to the next step because it isn't an interactive remote session. It is just email communications with a delay every time, which adds to some frustration.

Suppose there's something that's concerning to us that we really wanted to make sure wasn't a false negative as a threat. While we were worried about it, we would just have to wait for responses and be unable to communicate with anybody.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We did not use an integrator, reseller, or consultant for the solution's deployment. I have had some experience with SentinelOne in the past. We just read through some of the documentation and asked a couple of questions. There was also some information on what other administrators have done to implement the solution.

That has worked well, and things have been pretty smooth sailing since the implementation. I've been pretty happy in that regard, and it wasn't a big pain to replace our existing antivirus solution. Two other guys were involved in the solution's deployment, but I was heading up the task.

What was our ROI?

We have not seen a return on investment with SentinelOne Singularity Complete because we have not used it. It has just added costs for us that we're not taking advantage of.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's pricing is not terrible. It's not enough to make us want to move away from using SentinelOne. The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it. I feel like it should be an optional add-on for people who may not be using things to integrate or may not want to integrate things.

What other advice do I have?

We have used very little of SentinelOne Singularity Complete's interoperability with other solutions. It has looked like it has been nice because we have been scoping out the use of a managed detection and response and have SentinelOne Singularity Complete plugin with other solutions for log output. There hasn't really been anything we wanted to use that SentinelOne was incompatible with.

I believe SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very capable of ingesting and correlating across our security solutions. I don't think I've seen any solutions that would necessarily outperform it. It's done everything that we've needed it to. Again, we have not used it extensively.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped us consolidate our security solutions, but that's our choice. We like going into the console and seeing everything within there and the dashboards we already have access to.

I can't say that I think SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts. We would like to use SentinelOne to correlate our alerts so we're getting alerts from multiple different areas to see what matches up there. Currently, we still have an ad hoc solution where we're looking at different sources for that information because we don't have it all trusting each other yet.

Overall, for supply chain attacks, we're hesitant to give access to other products to our SentinelOne. We just don't want to put all our eggs in one basket, but that's more of a mindset problem than a functionality problem.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects. The solution's automation functionality, notifications, alerts, additions with its API, and custom tools to do what we want have helped me not to have to go in and manually check for things. For example, SentinelOne says they do not need to do static file scans other than when you first install the agent.

Our compliance requires that we still have static agent scans on a regular basis, preferably daily. You can launch those from within the console, but it's not viable for me to log in to the console daily and initiate that. Since there's no ability to schedule that in the future, that was best done with the API script that runs automatically and can give us feedback on how it went.

I believe SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organization's mean time to detect. We get some good context within there of what the threat was. Most of the time, it has pretty good notes regarding what it got flagged for if it's behavior-based, but some static file threats don't show the indicators.

We do not know what to do with some threats or understand what it is. We've been told we would need to get the SentinelOne vigilance or managed detection and response to fill that gap. We have been looking at managed detection and response but haven't put it in place yet.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organization's mean time to respond from our previous antivirus solutions. The solution gave us some more context than we had and also the ability to isolate each endpoint. If an endpoint looks scary and we don't know what it's doing exactly, we can cut off all of its internet access except SentinelOne until we feel it's a clean endpoint. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our mean time to respond by 20 minutes.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. There have been multiple things that could have potentially been an incident, and they were stopped in their tracks by the solution. For that, we've been able to demonstrate the solution's value to our leadership in terms of keeping it.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped our organization save on its costs. SentinelOne Singularity Complete isn't optional and was forced onto us from the licensing. We didn't really get a choice on whether we wanted those extra features, but we had to pay for the SentinelOne Singularity Complete add-on, which is just a blanket cost.

If it was up to us, we might not have chosen it, but it was not. We don't use many of the features, and many of the things we like are within the basic SentinelOne license.

We earlier used SentinelOne Complete, and then we used SentinelOne Complete with Singularity. There hasn't been a great improvement since we've done that. We haven't used many of its features or had any guidance on recommendations that would be helpful to put into place without having to buy anything else.

Most of the time, if we wanted to use anything in the marketplace, we would have to start paying for something we don't already have or integrate with something we aren't using.

I would say SentinelOne Singularity Complete is pretty mature, and there's a good amount of documentation of details. I would say it's much more mature right now than a year and a half ago when it was introduced. I looked into it then and said there's nothing that looks useful to us here.

Now, there are actually many more applications and things to integrate with it that we didn't have access to before. We're still not using a lot of it. As far as recommending it to somebody else or another company, I am confident that it will plug into all the major utilities and tools you may want.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete requires maintenance, but it's not bad. We need to go into the console and initiate updates for select devices when there are updates available. We need to ensure that we stay within supported and not end-of-life releases of SentinelOne. After those select devices have been tested out and we know there are not many issues with them, I will go ahead and release those to all the other devices we manage in the rolling phases.

That's not too much work. I would not classify it as maintenance, but when detection comes up while using the platform, that works well when we need to check that out. We haven't necessarily caught something that needed to be caught.

I am impressed with what they're doing both for detections for our endpoints and also for the security world at large. A while back, they headed up some of the investigations and publications about the supply chain attack for 3CX software, which was something that we had used and were impacted by. However, thanks to SentinelOne, we did not have any fallout from that attack.

Overall, I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete an eight out of ten.

A top-tier product with excellent features that provide visibility into an organization's environment
Pros and Cons
  • "Deep Visibility is a valuable feature."
  • "The learning curve was a little steep."

What is our primary use case?

We used SentinelOne because we needed a tool that would add extra visibility into the environment. We also wanted something that was easier to use than our existing product so we switched to SentinelOne.

What is most valuable?

Deep Visibility is a valuable feature. It lets us search across the environment and correlate things much more easily than we could have previously.

What needs improvement?

The learning curve was a little steep. The solution gives training we can go through, but we have to pay for that. We ended up paying for it so we could get everybody ramped up. The product must enable easier onboarding for less familiar or less formally trained people. It would've helped us adopt it quickly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We had no stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is on a cloud-hosted instance. It can be integrated into everything that we use. It seems highly scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Support is good. The support team is quick to respond and quick to resolve. We can't ask for anything more.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The product is cloud-based. The initial deployment was straightforward. We were able to rip and replace and do it all faster than our onboarding team had expected. It was done within a month.

What about the implementation team?

We had the standard onboarding services, but we did all the lifting ourselves. It required four people from our side. Apart from agent upgrades, the tool doesn't need any major maintenance.

What was our ROI?

We currently see returns in getting our technicians' and engineers' time back.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing makes sense to us. The pricing model is simple. It was easy to move forward from our previous products to the new bundle.

What other advice do I have?

We've been using the tool mostly with third-party applications through Singularity Marketplace. Integrating it with our Microsoft environment has been helpful and convenient. The product is robust in ingesting and correlating across our security solutions. It is doing its job without us having to check it.

Previously, we had a few different endpoint solutions on a single asset. The product helped us rip and replace multiple solutions with one. We did a POC on Ranger but didn't go with it. The solution hasn't reduced any alerts, but it has at least given us more actionable data. We need to do tuning because we're so early in the adoption.

The tool has certainly saved the staff's time. It's able to correlate data a lot better and bring it all onto a single pane of glass, which helps save time. It's hard to quantify right now because we're so early in the adoption. We're definitely able to see more bandwidth for other projects. SentinelOne has helped reduce our mean time to detect.

We have seen the most improvements in our organization’s mean time to respond. We would have had to balance between different solutions or portals to correlate data. Now, the tool is just bringing everything into one place. Taking action within the solution has helped us respond and resolve. Our mean time to respond has been reduced by more than half.

We were using multiple products. We replaced them with SentinelOne. Getting a better solution for the same price was a no-brainer for us. Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. The solution's quality is top-tier. The maturity was as good as our current solutions. It was easy to make the choice to move over.

SentinelOne is closely aligned with what the actual responders need to do. It seems like the vendor is building tools and solutions for people in the thick of it, which is a big reason why we went with their product. They are making tools for those who need to use them.

If someone were to evaluate or do a proof of concept, the bigger their initial POC, the better. We found some oddities after expanding the initial POC, which would have been nice to work through before the deployment. The vendors set up a capture-the-flag type of event that really helped us learn the environment, where to go for what, and how to use the tools. I highly recommend having everybody go through the capture-the-flag trial they set up.

Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Automation has been fantastic for us, and with real-time detection, we have better security
Pros and Cons
  • "I work in vulnerability management, and for me, at the moment, its automation is most valuable. For the SOC team, incident visibility would be most valuable, but for me, it is automation."
  • "In automation, if we could schedule when we run the task and on which systems we want to run the task, it would improve automation."

What is our primary use case?

First and foremost, we use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for endpoint detection and response in our company. We do not have any antivirus anymore. We have SentinelOne for the endpoint detection, response, and defense mechanism. This is our primary use case. 

We also have other use cases. I work predominantly in vulnerability management. I sometimes work in the SOC. For vulnerability management, we use it in a number of different ways. We sometimes use it to see which applications and versions are running on systems. We use it for an inventory of applications. We do not use it for vulnerability detection. We have another tool for that, which I believe is more dedicated to technical vulnerabilities. I know there has been some investment in this area, but at the moment, we are not using it for that. 

We also use it for running scripts and automating tasks on systems. In fact, I have been doing a lot of that recently. They have developed their automation and remote ops part, which has been fantastic for us. I have been updating a lot of applications using the scripts that I have deployed with SentinelOne. I love that part of the tool. It makes life a lot easier. 

I sometimes also use it to determine where we may not have other pieces of software on systems. For example, we use a vulnerability tool that runs on an agent. I can use SentinelOne to see whether all of the systems on which we have SentinelOne also have our vulnerability tool agent. If a system does not have it, we can deploy a script from SentinelOne to add the agent. 

We also use Ranger, so we can identify other systems on our network that do not necessarily have SentinelOne agents. That can be quite useful sometimes. Because of Ranger, we have seen a lot of systems that we did not already know about. 

As a part of the endpoint detection response, we ingest logs through our central SIEM. We have a hybrid Security Operations Center. The first line is done by a third party. They have access to the SIEM, and all of the SentinelOne data is ingested into that. When there is an incident or when SentinelOne detects an incident, it gets flagged to the Security Operations Center, and then we start to investigate that incident. Most of the time, if it is a SentinelOne-related incident, we will log in to SentinelOne and use it to investigate the incident. We look at the logs on the endpoint and try to establish whether it is a genuine incident or a false positive, what happened on the system, and why we are getting these alerts.

How has it helped my organization?

We use the Ranger functionality. It provides network and asset visibility. It is quite important for us. If we did not have another tool that is doing similar, it would have been extremely important, but we do have a vulnerability management tool that is very similar. It is quite good that it does that automatically out of the box, whereas we have to configure our vulnerability scanning solution to do something like this. The ability to have visibility of the network where we do not necessarily have SentinelOne deployed is very important.

Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. This is important for us. It has an advantage over our vulnerability management tool because we have to deploy scanners with our vulnerability management tool, whereas we do not have to deploy anything for SentinelOne Ranger, so in that way, it is a better solution in helping us.

Ranger is very effective in helping to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised. For example, we used Ranger and identified some systems in our data center that we could just log on to. It was not very difficult to get on to those devices. Therefore, it would not have been difficult for anyone else to get on those devices. We did not necessarily have the permission to do so, but we found a way to do that. We managed to get those devices secured, and therefore, increase the security of our systems. That kicked off from Ranger, and that is a good use case.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. For example, with automation, I have been able to patch some of our systems, which has freed up time for our help desk team. They do not have to patch some of the systems. It has also been helpful for deploying some of our agents for our other tools. If we deploy through SentinelOne using the script, that frees up our team's time.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. The previous solution we had was signature-based, so for endpoint detection, it has to know a certain kind of attack before it can detect it or even block it. Because Singularity Complete is more looking at the behavior of running processes and how these processes interact with other processes on the system, it has helped to reduce the risk. We are not relying on static detection signatures. We have got real-time detection. Singularity Complete can detect things that may be the first-ever attack in the world, and we get notified about it. It does reduce the risk.

What is most valuable?

I work in vulnerability management, and for me, at the moment, its automation is most valuable. For the SOC team, incident visibility would be most valuable, but for me, it is automation.

What needs improvement?

In automation, if we could schedule when we run the task and on which systems we want to run the task, it would improve automation.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two and a half years. I have been using it since I joined this company. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not had any issues with it. It has always worked for me.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is quite scalable. I do not see anything holding it back in that regard.

How are customer service and support?

My impression of SentinelOne as a strategic security partner is very positive.

In terms of support, for a lot of support requirements, I go through the engineering team. They are very knowledgeable about Singularity Complete, but I did contact SentinelOne's support team recently in July. There was a particular vulnerability that Microsoft had already caught. Microsoft Defender had a setting that would automatically block the vulnerability. I raised the question to SentinelOne support asking whether SentinelOne has the same ability to block the vulnerability. It took me a few times to get them to understand what I was asking, and they could not confirm 100% that it was blocked. They just said that their solution does block vulnerability attempts, but they did not specifically do this particular one. Unfortunately, that interaction was not entirely positive. Overall, I would rate them a seven out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

My company had an endpoint solution previously, but I was not with this company before they had Singularity Complete. They already had Singularity Complete when I got here. It was replacing the previous endpoint solution, so I cannot say whether Singularity Complete reduced our alerts or mean time to detect than the previous solution.

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved in its initial deployment. I am with the engineering team. I have deployed SentinelOne on some systems, so I know the process, but I was not involved in deploying it or rolling it out company-wide.

It is in the cloud, but we have SentinelOne agents deployed on our systems. These agents report the data back to the cloud, which gives us the ability to see all of that data.

In terms of maintenance, the team that maintains it performs agent updates. They can be pushed automatically, but our engineering team has decided to not push the updates automatically because they could potentially break something or may not be fully compatible with a current version of, for example, macOS. There is some maintenance in that regard. There is also maintenance in terms of relieving some aged SentinelOne nodes. We might remove those. I would not necessarily call it maintenance, but when we set up particular alerts, we may maintain those alerts based on our requirements at the time. It may be the vulnerability being escalated in the wild, or we might want to set up some sort of detection that can basically detect or indicate any compromise. We maintain all of those rules.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I do not know much about the pricing. What I do know is that the person who negotiates most of the pricing is quite a hard bargainer. In that regard, he often says that he managed to get a very good deal. When we first looked at replacing our old system with Singularity Complete, its price was definitely a big factor. Back then, Singularity Complete was fairly new to the marketplace. We got quite a good deal as an early adopter. They have honored that and respected that we were an early adopter, and I feel we are still getting a very good price.

What other advice do I have?

It is definitely worth considering. It is definitely up there with the best of them now. A few years ago, it probably was not. It was in the early stages, but now, it gives us everything that we need today. They invest heavily in the platform. That is important as well. If you buy it today, in a year or two, you will get a lot more features for your money.

It is quite mature now. Over the two and a half years that I have been using it, there have been numerous feature enhancements. As a basic endpoint detection response, it is very mature, and it now has other features, such as the Ranger functionality and automation, on top of it. It is a very mature offering now.

When it comes to integrations, I do not know about any tools that I have used with Singularity Complete. We just bought Wiz.io for our company, and I understand that SentinelOne links to Wiz.io. I have not personally used it, but I will be using it soon. From what I understand, it is going to be quite useful because if we detect an incident or an alert on a cloud system that Wiz.io manages and has visibility of, we can then get more information about that cloud system. For example, it could say, "We detected that this vulnerability attempt has been made, or one of the exploit attempts has been made on your system." We then get all of this information from Wiz.io which says, "Actually, the system is not vulnerable to that vulnerability." At that point, we would think that we do not need to worry as much, but we are going to see the investigations. 

In terms of its ability to ingest and correlate across our security solution, we do not necessarily ingest into Singularity Complete, but we ingest Singularity Complete into our central SIEM. It is very difficult to ingest data into that SIEM.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete an eight out of ten.

Great malware hunting, reduces our detection, and response time
Pros and Cons
  • "Malware detection is valuable."
  • "SentinelOne's customer service has room for improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our antivirus and malware detection solution.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our alerts.

It gives me peace of mind knowing that it patches areas that need it and is always available to hunt for malware in our environment.

Singularity Complete has helped significantly reduce our MTTD. We are notified within the hour of an incident.

It has also helped reduce our MTTR. We are able to respond to an incident within the hour.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

Malware detection is valuable. We have had incidents where users have clicked on malicious links and we were able to patch the malware using SentinelOne Singularity Complete before it reached the SIEM. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has become one of my most trusted solutions for hunting malware in our environment.

What needs improvement?

I have been trying to synchronize SentinelOne Singularity Complete with our SIEM, but it has not been very successful.

SentinelOne's customer service has room for improvement. It is hard to reach them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The support team is hard to get a hold of.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Based on a management decision, we switched from CrowdStrike to Singularity Complete.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was complex, but SentinelOne helped with the process and two of our employees were involved.

What about the implementation team?

We used the help of SentinelOne for the implementation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The license is per user.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

Good integration with third parties, reduces alerts and reduces mean time to respond
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have."
  • "There aren't enough reporting capabilities for decision-makers."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution as an EDR tool. We focus specifically on Linux components and a Linux environment.

What is most valuable?

The threat detection and visibility as well as the migration of the data to our SIM instance has been useful. Doing automation workflows has been excellent.

They have fairly decent integration with third-party tools within their own stack. They have very strong integration with CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender. They also have connections for Palo Alto Networks and all the tools that we leverage across the firm. These are API connectors, so they are plug-and-play. The login session coordination piece is also fairly robust, which is done with Splunk on the same side.

It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have. We can move the data from the solution into third-party tools.

It helped us to reduce our alerts. On the the Linux kernel side, we have quite a few different versions of Linux, and hence the alerts that we used to get earlier were a lot more. They are significantly less since they're now managed and controlled through the Singularity platform.

Our mean time to detect has been reduced significantly. We've saved maybe thirty minutes to an hour. Our mean time to respond is a bit better by a few minutes.

What needs improvement?

The reports for the executives who are the decision makers should be better. That would help with product renewal and adding new modules. There aren't enough reporting capabilities for decision-makers. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for just under a year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not noted any crashing or lagging issues. 

How are customer service and support?

They offer fairly decent technical support. We've not had any major challenges with them so far. The support team has been pretty good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have CrowdStrike as an EDR tool for Windows, and CrowdStrike did not really support our Linux kernels. That's when I did an evaluation with different vendors, and Singularity was able to support our Linux kernels.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the deployment. It was a straightforward deployment. We had six people handling the deployment. 

We have not had a need for maintenance just yet. 

What about the implementation team?

We used our own internal IT team for the implementation. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike. 

What other advice do I have?

It allows us to be innovative. It's fairly robust and one of the main leaders in the space. It's a pretty strong offering compared to others in the market. It is a quality product. 

It's important to test it first to see if the solution works well for your firm. I'd advise people to validate and test it out thoroughly. Bringing in a solution is not that difficult, however, ripping and replacing a solution is hard, so you want to avoid regretting any decisions. 

The solution is a helpful strategic security partner. 

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
