Reduces organizational risk, low on machine load, and helps prevent ransomware
Pros and Cons
  • "It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk."
  • "They are still largely an EDR product."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for EDR, which it does in a brilliant way. We are also using it for log management. We can use it for investigations, reporting, and security incident management.

What is most valuable?

The most important aspect of the solution is that the load on the machine is not very high. It doesn't take up battery resources.

The solution prevents ransomware and other threats.

So far, it is working brilliantly. The dashboards and UI are user friendly, as is the ability to configure as needed.

It seems to have a lot more capabilities. The XDR capabilities, in particular, look very strong. We're currently looking into that.

If we want to do integrations with third parties, we don't have very many challenges around that.

The ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is very useful. It's impressive. The AI engine it has is excellent.

It helps us consolidate our security solutions.

While it does not allow us to reduce alerts per se, it does a good job of correlating. The way it's integrated into the SIM, it's working to the expectations we have.

The solution helps free up people so that they can work on other tasks. We don't have to grow our team too much now. My security team is actually quite small - about five people. We all get more time to handle other tasks.

We've noted that it does help reduce mean time to respond. We can identify events easier and those that are most critical are brought to the forefront. Previously, we were in the dark. Now we have so much more visibility. It's been a huge improvement. 

It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk. 

What needs improvement?

They are still largely an EDR product. The MDR side needs to be demonstrated. They need to make zero trust more robust. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for around two years now.

Is user-friendly, easy to integrate, and extremely stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."
  • "I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

What is our primary use case?

I use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to prevent and mitigate attacks on my laptop.

While traditional antivirus programs can offer some protection, they often fall short against advanced cyber threats. This means having an antivirus doesn't guarantee my laptop's safety, as I've experienced with viruses, blue screens, and even complete crashes. Therefore, finding a more comprehensive security solution that actively prevents infections and stops attacks before they happen is crucial. The repeated blank screens on my laptop are a clear sign of a compromised system and so I implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to mitigate these problems.

How has it helped my organization?

The interoperability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is one of the key features. I integrated SentinelOne Singularity Complete with another solution for a customer and it was seamless.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete integrates well with my existing security solutions and provides effective data correlation. While our company has a smaller security stack, the larger customers who've incorporated Singularity across their entire security infrastructure have experienced seamless integration.

It streamlines our security posture by consolidating disparate solutions into a unified platform. This eliminates the need to navigate siloed interfaces for attack visibility, while automated response capabilities minimize the manual effort required for mitigation.

I sold the Ranger functionality to a customer who is an ISP and needed more network visibility.

Customers appreciate the ease of use of SentinelOne Singularity Complete's Ranger functionality, as it doesn't require installing new agents, or hardware, or making network changes.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides us with the confidence of knowing we're protected when connecting to external networks. Its user-friendly interface and seamless integration enable us to easily add more security features as our needs evolve, without incurring significant costs.

The number of alerts has been reduced. We used to get a lot of false positives and the solution has reduced our alerts by over 60 percent.

By quietly resolving most issues in the background, SentinelOne Singularity Complete frees up our time for other projects and tasks. This way we don't have to call our support team and we don't lose any productivity. We can save around four hours a day when an issue is detected.

Our MTTD has been drastically reduced by SentinelOne Singularity Complete to less than 30 seconds.

Our MTTR has been reduced thanks to the automated AI response from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. What we do after that is use the insights provided by the endpoints and the management console to help guide the client on what steps should be taken moving forward.

Switching to SentinelOne Singularity Complete significantly reduced our security costs. Previously, our solution was both expensive and insufficient for our needs. By moving to SentinelOne, we achieved a 40 percent cost saving. Additionally, we benefitted from time savings and increased productivity, further contributing to our overall cost reduction.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped to reduce our organizational risk by over 70 percent.  

What is most valuable?

The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable.

The automatic mitigation features are incredibly valuable. Over the past two months, receiving alerts on my laptop about mitigated attacks has been one of the key benefits. It's fantastic that I don't have to manually intervene in the mitigation process, yet I'm still informed about potential threats and assured that I'm protected.

The detailed history logs allow us to easily detect malicious behavior within the network.

What needs improvement?

I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is extremely stable in the cloud.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is highly scalable. We have had many clients easily scale their number of endpoints.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We previously used Sophos and Fortinet for the firewall but switched to SentinelOne Singularity Complete because of its more robust capability, ease of integration, and lower cost.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out as the most innovative and forward-thinking solution in the market. Through strategic acquisitions, SentinelOne has gained a distinct edge over its competitors.

How was the initial setup?

In the beginning, our technical team did not have a lot of information but once they received some guidance from SentinelOne the deployment was easy.

What was our ROI?

The efficiency gains and enhanced security delivered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete consistently ensure a positive return on investment.

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's pricing is affordable. They offer licenses from zero to a hundred making it accessible even for smaller businesses.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated CrowdStrike but we didn't have much information about how it worked, its functionality, or cost.

What other advice do I have?

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a mature solution that takes care of most of our use cases for EDR and the Ranger functionality provides visibility into our network. SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a first line of defense gives us peace of mind.

No maintenance is required from our end.

SentinelOne is my go-to as a strategic security partner when it comes to anything EDR-related.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a great solution and I recommend it. SentinelOne Singularity Complete can easily be deployed in any environment and is cost-effective.

Enhances endpoint security with user-friendly detection tools
Pros and Cons
  • "The visibility feature is crucial for effective detection analysis."
  • "The primary issue is the console's random automatic logouts, requiring users to repeatedly re-enter their username and password."

What is our primary use case?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is primarily used for endpoint protection and integrating vulnerability reports from assessments. It also provides device control, exclusion management, and block listing capabilities. 

Our clientele represents a diverse range of industries, including insurance and manufacturing.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity offers complete interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party tools, and our clients have reported no issues.

The Ranger functionality provides network and asset visibility, allowing identification of installed and uninstalled assets within the environment. This capability contributes to maintaining a clean and organized environment.

It can prevent unauthorized access and use of USB drives, a common source of malware. Personal USB drives can carry malicious software that infects an entire network. Therefore, SentinelOne Singularity Complete plays a crucial role in protecting organizations from these external threats.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete enables in-depth root cause analysis and the ability to add exclusions as needed, effectively minimizing alert volume.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps users save approximately one-third of their time, allowing them to focus on other tasks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps reduce our mean time to detect and helps reduce our mean time to respond by 25 percent.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps reduce environmental risk by identifying vulnerabilities.

What is most valuable?

The visibility feature is crucial for effective detection analysis. The user-friendly console ensures ease of use and learning, even for beginners. Furthermore, the tool's capacity to consolidate various security solutions and perform risk correlation analysis enhances its value.

What needs improvement?

The primary issue is the console's random automatic logouts, requiring users to repeatedly re-enter their username and password. This problem needs to be addressed.

Easy to manage, zero-trust option and supports both Linux and macOS
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS."
  • "Also, it didn't have much incident management built in."

What is our primary use case?

It's endpoint protection that also takes care of the server.

Mainly, we [my company] have a lot of systems on Linux. So when we were looking for an EDR solution, we evaluated all three top options: SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black. We found CrowdStrike to be slightly better than SentinelOne in terms of features. But the only reason we chose SentinelOne was that its Linux agent was far superior.

We review our EDR solution every year. So far, it's been SentinelOne. Earlier, it was Trend Micro, I think. So we evaluate and change our protection software almost every year.

How has it helped my organization?

It is quite easy to manage our environment with the Singularity console.

We have policies in place to isolate any suspicious behavior from the network immediately. There's even a zero-trust option that we utilize.

Moreover, visibility into the attack surface and risk is good. It's protecting quite well. We do have incidents regularly, but no major ones at all.

When it comes to threat detection and prevention, it's quite sensitive and quite good.

We do the evaluation every year, so we always see something new that comes in. We evaluate across products and then choose the best one.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS. All SentinelOne features were equally supported across Windows, Linux, and Mac, whereas CrowdStrike was more heavy on the Windows side. They did not support all features on Linux.

The Singularity console provides a unified view. But we already had similar dashboards available to the ones we had engineered ourselves. So it's not a deal-breaker. For us, it was about supporting multiple operating systems. That was more important. So, these dashboards we have are third-party tools integrated with SentinelOne.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne could work on a more centralized dashboard.

Also, it didn't have much incident management built in.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using it all across for the last three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far, I didn't face any major issue with stability. They communicate in advance about any maintenance downtime or updates. But so far, we haven't faced any outages.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is quite seamless. We have people who work from home also. There are no issues. It scales across geographies, and we haven't had any problems.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are good. Their responses are quick. We normally interact with them only over emails or their forums.

We never had to talk to them or call anybody. It's always been emails or forums, and it's been efficient.

The forums are really good, actually. As long as you follow their forums, that's more than enough, at least for us. I don't know about others, but for us, we found that asynchronous communication is more than sufficient.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

CrowdStrike was a bit better in terms of features. They had a much more centralized dashboard for tracking, In case of investigating incidents, the evaluating mitigation plans from the community were also good. They were much more mature in those incident management scenarios. 

SentinelOne was just detection and isolation; it didn't have much incident management built in. But we have our own incident management function, so that wasn't a deal-breaker.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was quite easy and very straightforward. 

What about the implementation team?

My team is familiar with most of these products, so for them, it was a breeze. There were no issues.

We normally take an evaluation period of 45 days. That's the trial period they give, during which we test everything and then give them the results.

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

Overall, the price is very competitive. It's just relatively low compared to other products. The team told me it's something like 12% cheaper than CrowdStrike.

SentinelOne is much more cost-effective compared to other software because they offer a lot of flexibility in terms of licenses, which you can scale every month.

But others might have a more user-friendly, centralized console. If that's a need, then you have to pay a premium for that.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Considering what happened with CrowdStrike recently, it is all over the news. 

The main point is that if you want feature parity across Mac and Linux, they should go with SentinelOne, not CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike may be very good for Windows, but that's also in question right now. We feel SentinelOne is a little better for Windows.

You don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box
Pros and Cons
  • "The best feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that you don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box."
  • "Having an additional logic layer could improve the solution, mainly because I run multiple systems with different layers. For example, if I'm running a very important server with this agent, and that server gets infected, I may not necessarily be sure that I want to shut it down right away. Maybe I want to isolate some of the connectivity but not do the entire security remediation automatedly or curtail network access type of activity."

What is our primary use case?

My company uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete for general endpoint security. The solution is excellent at solving problems many other vendors don't solve properly. My company runs on multiple platforms and software in various environments. My company is a Microsoft company with Azure AD and many Windows computers, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete is terrific for that. The company also has MacBooks, Linux machines, and clusters of Linux containers with various distros and types. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is surprisingly good at supporting the platforms, and the enterprise needs my company has.

What is most valuable?

The best feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that you don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box.

Implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a competitive bid process. As part of the competitive bid process, SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands alone. I work for an enterprise, and the company has old software. CrowdStrike Falcon Pro is a great competitor of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but CrowdStrike Falcon Pro doesn't fit my company's needs because of its very aggressive deportation policy. If you ever run any software not in the standard manufacturer support or some support package, Crowdstrike cuts you off from updates. In real life, that doesn't work because my company builds software. Some of the company's cluster apps run on Red Hat 7, old Linux kernel,   CentOS, or other distros around that era. My company has significant old technologies that it needs to secure.

A pro of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the approach that it knows isn't the best, but it will still give you the best it has.

I also find that SentinelOne Singularity Complete gives a significant layer of security on top of SD-WAN, mandatory access control, and general information management, which is very helpful.

In assessing the solution's interoperability with other Sentinel One solutions and third-party tools, my company started utilizing Scalar and has a history of using Scalar and other providers. SentinelOne acquired Scalar, an enterprise log management platform, which is very good for the price. Scalar may not be the best platform in the world, but it's very good for the price. SentinelOne, having acquired Scalar, has gone and built an excellent integration for all logging so that you can get the SIEM logs into the Scalar pipeline and run it through a general log analysis platform, so it's unmatched.

In general, I'm pleased with the ability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete to ingest and correlate across my company's security solutions, especially with its price point. I only found very few antivirus or EDR solutions that can compete with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but I generally prefer working with the solution because of its interoperability.

Another reason why I like the solution is because it works. It doesn't require an Internet connection. The remediation is automated, and the alerting function is excellent. Support for the platform is also great, including multi-tenancy, role-based access control, and automated deployments.

I don't have much bad feedback about SentinelOne Singularity Complete, while in contrast, I've been quite disappointed by many technical aspects of other antivirus solutions, such as the Deep Instinct Antivirus. As for MSP machines, I used to work at MSP and had many problems. I also find the CrowdStrike sales representative incredibly annoying.

I find that SentinelOne Singularity Complete works pretty well for what I want, and it always hits the right price point and options that suit my company's general, overall security platform and management of that platform.

The Ranger functionality of SentinelOne Singularity Complete works well in providing network and asset visibility, especially as my company is a Microsoft Azure AD company at the core, so most of the company's Mac and Windows endpoints are managed, and monitoring the cloud ID and posture is essential. However, I don't need to check it daily because the solution manages itself well. SentinelOne Singularity Complete works very well for active directory management and posture matching.

I appreciate that the solution can consume at an API level, but I don't care as much whether it runs an agent or doesn't because I can automate agent deployment to the fleet. If the agent works, then great. An agentless solution is suitable for old platforms that don't have the most up-to-date technologies. Whenever you try to run an agent on various environments, it might not be the ideal platform for that agent so you could run into unexpected problems. Being agentless makes SentinelOne Singularity Complete better, but I wouldn't be upset if it were a good and solid agent-based solution.

In terms of how significantly the solution helped reduce alerts depends on how many alerts my company was paying attention to before and how many alerts it is paying attention to now. I'm unsure about that because one reason for implementing the SentinelOne Singularity Complete stack at the company has been to increase the security footprint and security posture. My company might have had several useless alerts before and maybe fewer alerts now, but did the company pay more attention to the alerts now? I'm unsure if the alert reduction or paying more attention to the alerts makes a difference.

About SentinelOne Singularity Complete helping to free up staff for other projects and tasks, that isn't easy to tell, as I have a team of four, and some of the work changed upon implementation. For example, instead of fighting with specific agent installs or trying to figure out how to get logs into another system, some of that workload is reduced, but now my team may be paying more attention and uses the same amount of time for alerts, remediations, or other more important aspects, so it is possible that the amount of time spent after the SentinelOne Singularity Complete implementation wasn't really reduced. That would depend on your perspective.

As to SentinelOne Singularity Complete helping the company reduce the mean time to detect, my company didn't record the mean time to detect before implementing the solution. I feel that it is effective, but right now, I don't have a basis of comparison that allows me to point to that periodically says my company reduced the meantime to detect or that it was increased by some percentage.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has been very effective in helping reduce organizational risk for my company, especially regarding budgetary footprint. The solution has been very effective at what it does and has helped reduce the company's cyber insurance premium. My company is a SOC 2-certified institute and has to go through an annual compliance process with auditors, so going through and being able to explain and show how the company has automated and deployed solutions and minimized its risk profile has been very helpful.

The company I work with now spends slightly less than it did and gets more value from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Though the cost may not be that different from others, the value provided by the solution is very different. In the past, my company had several decentralized alerts and platforms. Still, after implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, the solution could bring and tie them together through an automated platform. It works, and when it comes to enterprise security, for every company you work for, you're not the one who built that network or solution. You have no idea what's going on, so your ability to maintain control relies on understanding the threat surface and how to control it, which SentinelOne Singularity Complete is good at.

My background is in Linux administration, and I've gone through several security tools over the years. I built out mandatory access controls and messy Linux policies. I've worked with a lot of different companies over time. SentinelOne Singularity Complete supports Linux systems really well, which is crucial because I work for a company that builds software with an ecosystem of applications, cluster apps, and containers on Linux.

Some other solutions were stuck a decade ago, particularly running Windows and .NET and other affordable systems, and though I love Windows and Mac, those are user endpoints, and endpoints extend beyond user endpoints, for example, endpoints include servers and the full scope of internet-connected devices in a company.

If you're trying to implement a zero-trust framework and a system resilient to failure across a Swiss cheese layer of multiple problems. In that case, finding one solution capable of dealing with that kind of threat is complicated. You look at Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft has improved its security over the last decade. Obviously, Microsoft still has ways to go, given that it still keeps losing its signing keys. Still, the reality is that, similar to Windows and Azure, Microsoft has improved its security footprint. Microsoft Defender went from being a joke of a product to a very viable solution. That's great, but I can't run that on Mac, and I can't run that on Linux clusters.

Looking at CrowdStrike Falcon Pro, it is a great product. It has a very annoying sales team, but it is excellent. The problem in enterprise, however, is that sometimes, you have to run old technology, and when you cut off the solution from working on old technology, that's not helpful and makes everything worse, so I appreciate the aspect of SentinelOne Singularity Complete supporting even the old technology my company is on, which is a significant differentiator that is very useful about the platform.

When you think of Carbon Black and VMware, each platform is good, works quite well on Mac and Windows, and has some capabilities, but the level is not the same as SentinelOne Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be a stand-alone product versus other products.

If you're running a decent company, you should be able to invest in security and be willing to spend whatever it takes to have a very competent solution. Since I control the budget, SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides more value for the dollars spent and a more cohesive structure than what you can get from other solutions.

I'm unsure if SentinelOne Singularity Complete is amazingly the best, but it's the best overall product because it fits my company's needs. I work for a SaaS building enterprise company that does financial transactions, which has public internet-facing applications that get constantly attacked. If I can't run a comprehensive security product across all systems, I'd have to look in three different places, which means I lose some of that robust information. I lose some of that ability to correlate threats and figure out what's happening, and so do automated platforms. An automated platform can lose the ability to correlate the different events it doesn't know about, and this is where SentinelOne Singularity Complete really shines. It's a cohesive, widespread solution that's great in various aspects.

In terms of being innovative, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is quite innovative. I grew up with the internet and have seen different generations of security products and ideas. When SentinelOne Singularity Complete came to market, it was significantly different than the other solutions. SentinelOne could either be acquired or build very useful products, taking interoperability between different products to a level you won't find in other companies.

With how my company uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete and the Scalar platform for all its servers, the company logs into Scalar and runs alerts and rejects, flags alerts, and also gets to ingest all SIEM logs from SentinelOne Singularity Complete into Scalar, and then gets automated alerts. This means that my company gets multiple layers of visibility across its stack and analysis pipeline. My company then gets to log push to S3 after the hot tier access is over, which means it gets to retain all security alerts and problems for up to seven years, just in case, which is essential for a financial services company like the one I work for. Doing that is much more complex with other solutions versus SentinelOne Singularity Complete, so I chose it because, currently, it is the best.

I care about aspects that other people don't care about, such as supporting old Linux distros and being able to run the solution in some weird cloud environments easily. I care about SentinelOne Singularity Complete working with my company's log analysis platform, which makes the process easier.

What needs improvement?

It's difficult to pinpoint areas for improvement in SentinelOne Singularity Complete because I always like to see certain aspects. Still, if I look into the EDR solution itself, I don't have many negative thoughts about it, as it is very good.

If something could be improved in the solution, I'd say better pricing, as I'd always take better pricing. I would appreciate lower pricing. The lower the pricing, the easier it is for me to sell it. A solution with lower pricing tends to sell itself at some point.

Building a more advanced "if this, then that" logic in SentinelOne Singularity Complete, in terms of when to cold shutdown, particularly when it detects a threat, would isolate it from the network, could be an improvement. There could be a better way of saying "yes" or "no" to doing an action or specific actions unless it's one of the exceptions on your list. Having an additional logic layer could improve the solution, mainly because I run multiple systems with different layers. For example, if I'm running a very important server with this agent, and that server gets infected, I may not necessarily be sure that I want to shut it down right away. Maybe I want to isolate some of the connectivity but not do the entire security remediation automatedly or curtail network access type of activity.

If I could have a more advanced control layer where I could say, "Hey, I want to do that on almost every system, but these systems are so important, and they have to keep running, so maybe if there is a problem, you can do these things instead," then that would make SentinelOne Singularity Complete better.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been onboarding SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our primary EDR solution this year.

We implemented Scalar last year as the first step, and then it became a natural step to move as we wanted to have all of our logs flow into our general login analysis platform so that we could build and consume our own software platform. We build many SaaS apps, and we have about a thousand web servers facing the Internet, so what better way to analyze all of these than to get our internal logs, such as browser, local events, and all of the data into one place and one data plane?

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I haven't run into many problems with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, except for one case where the agent was short-cycle restarting, but that was due to some problems I caused. I can't really complain about that.

I wouldn't say I liked the SELinux policy that you force out over Ansible configurations, which naturally conflicted with the SentinelOne Singularity Complete agent. Still, once that got flagged and tagged, it was fine.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the stability of the solution, which was why my company implemented it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a scalable solution, which is another reason my company chose it.

How are customer service and support?

I don't contact technical support very often, but when I have, I haven't been disappointed. For example, the Scalar data center team has provided excellent technical support whenever I've asked for help with query matching strings and building RigX, so I'm very happy.

I found the technical support for SentinelOne Singularity Complete very good, and I'd probably reach out to the support team with more questions, which the team would probably answer.

My rating for technical support is nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Previously, we used Microsoft Defender, but I also used SentinelOne Singularity Complete in a former company. I like it a lot, and that's part of why my company uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete now. 

How was the initial setup?

Deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete didn't take long for a small global company like ours. My company has offices in the US, Canada, France, and India, and working between different locales took more time, but generally, the process didn't take very long, as it only took about two weeks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a commercial solution that I found easy to implement, which is another reason my company paid for a commercial solution.

What about the implementation team?

Myself and two other people were involved in the deployment.

What was our ROI?

In terms of getting ROI from SentinelOne Singularity Complete, some factors must be considered. There is a requirement for a few layers to start with. My company has to spend some money just as a baseline.

One requirement is to be SOC 2 compliant, which means an auditor will come in and ask about the company's antivirus software, whether it's running an EDR, including analyzing logs.

Another player is the cyber risk insurance, as the company tries to get the premiums as low as possible and takes security as seriously as possible, by demonstrating to insurance partners that the company is a very low risk in terms of threats becoming problems.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, mainly based on adjustments to your premium, which either raises or lowers the price, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is quite effective.

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is aggressively priced compared to smaller solutions. Still, in the past, as I worked for a SentinelOne reseller partner that deployed SentinelOne solutions to a lot of different customers, I was able to appreciate its capabilities and full features, which is part of the reason my company has implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

The solution is a bit cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro and more expensive than smaller solutions. Still, it has a pretty reasonable pricing point, as I appreciate the flexibility SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers. I haven't been disappointed with its pricing because I'm more of a "not everything cheaper is better" person. It's not better if it makes the worst product.

I'm very satisfied with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, especially its price because I've worked with various companies. Yet, I found that no one provides a really good solution for the price except for SentinelOne.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

When I started at this company, an MSP recommended a legacy type of antivirus, and I felt it was not up to par with what SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an excellent enterprise product with an excellent price point that's hard to argue with in terms of results and efficiency per dollar spent, so it's a no-brainer.

What other advice do I have?

My company is mainly a cloud-based company. Very few solutions in the company have been deployed on-premises.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is managed across different layers and all verticals, such as the web, firewall, etc.

Between two hundred to two thousand five hundred people use SentinelOne Singularity Complete within the company.

My rating for SentinelOne Singularity Complete overall is a nine out of ten. I don't give tens because there's always room for improvement, but the solution is pretty good.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Excellent threat detection, easy to deploy, and helps save time
Pros and Cons
  • "We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."
  • "The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for its end-to-end detection and response capabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

We started using SentinelOne Singularity Complete because I wanted to eliminate a number of our existing first-generation tools, which were designed primarily for on-premises use cases. I wanted to move to our new set of tools, which were designed predominantly for cloud deployment and cloud infrastructure. There were two primary drivers for this decision: to reduce complexity and cost and to move to a solution that was specifically designed for our new architecture.

One of the main reasons we bought SentinelOne was for its integration capabilities. We don't have a standalone tool to supplement our overall security architecture. This includes our security data link, analytics layer, and intelligence capabilities. So that was really one of the primary reasons.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete excels at ingesting and correlating data across the security solutions that it has visibility into.

It has helped consolidate two of our security solutions.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped our organization by boosting our confidence in our ability to detect and respond to the broadest range of threats, reducing noise in our security operations capability and resulting in fewer false positives than ever before.

It helped reduce our alerts by around 60 percent per day. SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped free up 20 percent of our staff's time to work on other projects.

Although I do not have data to support the claim, SentinelOne Singularity Complete should reduce MTTD. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTR. It has saved us around 18 percent of our costs.

What is most valuable?

I find two features particularly valuable. First, deployment is much simpler than with other solutions with similar capabilities. Second, the fidelity of the detections is excellent. We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne plans to integrate its endpoint agents, but the process is slow. The company has multiple agents with different functions, such as the ED Ranger, and each agent has different actual clients. Combining the endpoint agents would be a good step.

The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic. It does not use objects and different device types to create a single object that can be easily managed. There is a significant amount of work to be done on the firewall side.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for almost seven months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support has been excellent so far.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We previously used Tanium and Symantec, two separate sets of tools. Tanium is a first-generation tool that is not specifically designed for the cloud. It requires a significant amount of manual effort to configure and manage, rather than automate these tasks. Symantec does its job, but we are essentially buying two tools to do what SentinelOne Singularity Complete can do on its own. Therefore, the switch to SentinelOne is primarily a cost-saving measure.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward. The entire deployment took 16 weeks, with eight weeks spent deploying the endpoints and eight weeks spent deploying the service. A total of 20 people were required for the deployment.

What was our ROI?

We are beginning to see a return on investment in SentinelOne Singularity Complete due to the reduced number of alerts in the operations center and the high-fidelity data.

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

After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair.

What other advice do I have?

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a really mature product and seems to be focused on enhancing core capability and not getting distracted by other stuff.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed across our entire estate. We have around 10,000 endpoints.

It requires maintenance, such as builds, policies, and other related tasks. We have a team of four responsible for maintenance and another three people for day-to-day operations.

They have stepped up as a strategic security partner.

I recommend organizations do a proper proof of concept with the SentinelOne Singularity Complete in their environment using their tools and their people.

Level of detection and visibility we get have vastly improved, and fewer alerts means more time for other work
Pros and Cons
  • "The deep visibility is a valuable feature. I can use it during threats or alert signals that we get. I can also use it when we have alert signals from other security tools that we have."
  • "My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer."

What is our primary use case?

It is an all-in-one agent on multiple operating systems that can detect malicious and suspicious activities. You can also use it to respond to different threat signals that you get from the platform.

There are multiple engines that run different types of detection, such as behavioral-type activities, that it can detect. It can also detect malicious activity based on a hash. It's a pretty great tool.

How has it helped my organization?

Overall, the level of detection and visibility we get have vastly improved, and that means the protection for our company has improved likewise.

Singularity has helped reduce the number of alerts we get. We were using FireEye at one point, and it was producing a ton of false positives. We have seen a major reduction in false positives, and that has saved our team's time. We have time to do other projects now.

In my previous company, we were using a Cisco product, and there was a ton of time wasted. Out of a 40-hour week, about eight to 10 hours were wasted, and with Singularity, we were able to get back about nine of those hours. Obviously, there are alerts coming in, and you have to investigate them, but the number was greatly reduced. In my current company, about 15 hours a week were wasted with false positives and wild goose chases and alerts. Now, we may put an hour into investigations. The great thing about SentinelOne is that you can get right down to what's going on with the events and deep visibility. It has saved us around 12 to 14 hours a week.

It's pretty quick when it comes to time to detect because you're right on the endpoint. Some agents have a delay in terms of when they report back to a console or a reporting server, but with SentinelOne, it seems that the agent is talking to the console right away. There isn't a huge delay.

Our mean time to respond is also very quick once we see the threat come in. It depends on the policy that is in place and the type of threat. If it is something suspicious, which we don't always have a set response for with the platform, we are able to easily look at what's going on a couple of minutes before the threat and what comes after. We can see the artifact on the endpoint, what is executed and what the user was probably doing. That means we're able to respond really quickly with all that visibility.

When it comes to cost savings, in the first company where I used SentinelOne, man-hours were saved, and it was cheaper to use SentinelOne than the Cisco product.

One use case where we've reduced risk has been due to users using something risky. They were trying to use an application that's like a keylogger. We've blocked it, and we've also created a rule using a star to detect when people are trying to use it. We have also set up rules to detect downloads of risky software, and that's protecting us too. It's protecting us from risk, but there's not a lot of reduction other than some protections and blacklists.

What is most valuable?

The deep visibility is a valuable feature. I can use it during threats or alert signals that we get. I can also use it when we have alert signals from other security tools that we have. I can use the SentinelOne platform to dive into those, even though there's no alert from SentinelOne, and zero in with a timestamp using its deep visibility to look at an endpoint and see if there's anything going on that might be correlated to a threat.

And Singularity's interoperability with other solutions has been a major bonus. You can put exclusions in place for other security platforms. For example, if you're using Symantec, you could easily put in an exclusion for that. The way that you can put them in, with the scope and the different groups, is really great. Singularity also provides pre-baked exclusions for interoperability with other pieces of equipment. For instance, for Microsoft SQL Servers, it already has pre-baked exclusions that you can put in for interoperability. It's far beyond the other platforms that I was using before.

In terms of ingestion, it's definitely taking in a lot of information at the endpoint level. You still need a human to do some of the correlation of the activities. The SentinelOne platform is looking at the endpoint, but you still need a human on the other end to analyze what the human at the other end of the endpoint was doing. But overall the solution does pretty well at correlating activities. I have seen some serious threats come in, and it definitely detects them right away with a pretty good correlation to the threat.

What needs improvement?

During my use of it over the years, they've been continuously improving it.

My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer.

And I'm on the fence about whether to keep the agents a little bit longer than they do, before they go end-of-support. That might be an improvement, but I'm not positive about that.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Uptime is all the time. 

I've only had one experience where there was a disconnect between the agents and the console. It was pretty brief, but that is when I opened a case with support. I had never seen that before, so the uptime is awesome. It's up 99.9 percent of the time.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's very scalable. We are working on a special project, in which we want to set up a lab for a special event. I talked with our support, and they said we could set up another site. It's really scalable.

How are customer service and support?

As I mentioned, I recently had a case because there were a lot of agents offline for a moment. Their support responded within one minute. That was an outlier. Every other case that I've opened up with them has not been a priority-one issue, but they usually respond within about five to 10 minutes, and they have been really great. I have not had an issue yet with support.

Everyone I've worked with in support is awesome. They always have the answers. Even if it's a complex issue, we usually get right down to it. I'm really happy with support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

I have used it in two different workplaces. Both workplaces were replacing platforms that just did not perform well and did not give you good visibility into what was going on on the endpoints. Both had a higher rate of false positives, and neither had the various detection engines that SentinelOne provides.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the initial deployment of the solution in my previous place of employment and it was straightforward. It was only made complex by our own IT department.

There is a little maintenance. I check on a daily basis because you can build out multiple groups. When a new agent is deployed, I have it start off in a specific group to get the agent installed, and then it does a full disk scan. There is a little maintenance—and maybe no one else does this—but I log in and check for new systems. Once they have their full disk scan completed, I'll move them over to the production policy. You could do that on a weekly basis but I do it daily. The morning maintenance is less than five minutes for me, and you could definitely do that weekly as well.

What about the implementation team?

I did it mostly by myself. I had another engineer working with me but that was it. It's really easy, a no-brainer. And that was for about 1,200 endpoints

What was our ROI?

I'm not a manager, but the return on investment may be in saving man hours.

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

When we were checking out different platforms we did get a price from Microsoft and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I've used several different platforms. We had a demo of the Carbon Black EDR, and I've used the FireEye EDR, Symantec, and Cisco.

We did a comparison between CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and looked at Microsoft's EDR products.

What other advice do I have?

As far as consolidation of security solutions goes, I have some suggestions for my leadership. I think we can definitely consolidate. For instance, we have a certain network segmentation where we have multiple security tools, including the SentinelOne agent and other agents on the devices. These devices are lower-end systems that don't have super-high specs like you might have on a power user's PC. In that area, we could eliminate one of the security agents and leave the SentinelOne agent. We would be covered in several different areas, such as FIM. I could create a custom rule to watch a certain configuration file, and if it changed, we would receive an alert. You can definitely use it to consolidate. Although we haven't done that yet, we're going to start because it's possible with the SentinelOne.

I believe we could save money by reducing the number of agents on those endpoints. If you walk that back to the yearly cost when we buy licenses, we should be able to save money on licensing for the other agent that we're using.

SentinelOne is very mature as an EDR platform. I would definitely put it in my top two. Across the breadth of everything I've dealt with using SentinelOne, even support, it's definitely top-two and you should check it out. I don't have a bad thing to say about it.

You definitely have to check out SentinelOne. They are firing on all cylinders for multiple areas that you want to consider when buying a tool like this. They're at 100 percent. When it comes to visibility, they present the information so that it's easy to read and understand. Responding is really easy to do. Support, which is a big factor nowadays, has faltered at some companies over the past four years, but support from SentinelOne has been awesome. Put SentinelOne in your PoCs. If you're looking at a couple of companies, you have to look at SentinelOne.

SentinelOne as a provider is a major player in hardening the protection of our environment.

Good rollback feature, helpful implementation advice, and straightforward to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "The rollback feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
  • "The previous vendor had a lot more features and capabilities under the license. For example, I lost DLP as Sentinel One does not have DLP."

What is our primary use case?

We got rid of our previous vendor, and we went with SentinelOne. We basically use it as our AV platform. In other words, it is supposed to be a solution that is next-gen and can detect ransomware and give us the opportunity to roll back if we are attacked.

How has it helped my organization?

The organization wanted to take advantage of their rollback feature so that, if we ever did suffer ransomware, that would help us with triage or remedying the issues.

What is most valuable?

The rollback feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution. 

In terms of its ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions, we're still early on. The implementation team has helped us turn on the XDR feature, however, we haven't utilized it as much as we should. We're still testing the capabilities. 

We did a pilot with the Ranger functionality. The organization opted not to purchase it just yet. Long-term, next fiscal year, we may adopt it. It does come at an extra cost. It may be added during the next renewal.

What needs improvement?

The previous vendor had a lot more features and capabilities under the license. For example, I lost DLP as Sentinel One does not have DLP. By choosing this solution, I created a security gap. 

It has not helped us reduce our alerts. In my last solution, I did not get alert fatigue. We are fresh into the implementation and are getting a lot of false positives. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We just went live this past year. I would say we have been using the solution for maybe six to eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product has been up more than it's been down. We typically do get alerts if there is a maintenance window. That's appreciated. There have been times when we have had issues accessing the console. that tends to get resolved quickly. That said, no one vendor can boast resiliency. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We only have one module or solution from them. We haven't tacked on multiples from a scalability side. However, from a licensing side, it's easy to add extra agents, it's easy.

How are customer service and support?

I've contacted technical support multiple times. The level of satisfaction is 50/50. It depends on who picks up the ticket on their end. If it's a level one help desk versus an engineer will dictate how easily we get an answer or not. If someone is not well-versed on the backend, we'll need to escalate and that takes time. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We previously used Trend Micro. It was cheaper and had more features under license. However, management was looking for cyber security insurance and methodology. Therefore, management decided to go through Sentinel One.

How was the initial setup?

Getting the solution spun up and put into the environment, and getting it set up to where it's working smoothly, was okay in terms of a process. They are like any other vendor trying to give you a white-glove service.

I was involved in the initial setup.

Once we understood the methodology, it was pretty straightforward. 

I chose to rely on people who knew how the product worked. I relied on their input and insights. We did procure professional services to really get into training and understanding the solution.

The learning curve continues to be the false positives. I've had to create a new exclusion list from scratch. I'm still going through the process. 

New users need to have a work-in period. There will be a period to get all of the little anomalies tweaked out.

There were three of us implementing the solution.

There's no real maintenance to worry about. That's why we purchased the SaaS solution. We do need to update the agent. 

What about the implementation team?

I implemented the solution with the assistance of professional services. 

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

Purely from a budget perspective, Sentinel One was more expensive than my previous vendor, plus I lost a lot of features. I can't say that I see cost savings yet while using the solution. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also piloted CrowdStrike. 

What other advice do I have?

I haven't used the solution in conjunction with any other third-party solutions and can't speak to its integration capabilities. We will do that, we just haven't yet.

The solution hasn't freed up any time. It's the same as our old solution. 

So far, it has not changed our mean time to detect. However, I have not seen a true positive yet. I would need to see a real threat come into my environment yet. This is true with the mean time to respond. The process is exactly the same. I have it configured so that if anything is critical, I get real-time alerts. 

I'd advise new users to hone in on the subject matter experts and grill them during the POC. We were so accustomed to doing workflows a certain way, it was almost like how we had to learn how to walk again when we switched solutions. 

I haven't seen Sentinel One's innovation just yet. We have asked for adjustments or features. We're going through a feature request platform and I have yet to see them implement a feature we requested. My previous vendor, Trend Micro, was very willing to implement changes.

You can't just take it back if you don't like it. It's here to stay. There's no going back to the previous vendor. We need to make it work. We want to stay with them at least a good while.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would advise new users to understand what workflows they are accustomed to and how their current setup works so that they can ask a lot of questions during the POC. It's important to fully understand Sentinel One's logic to be successful.

prevention of ransomware attacks shows reliability and effectiveness in business environments
Pros and Cons
  • "It recently stopped a ransomware attack at one of my clients, proving its reliability."
  • "I don't think there is real-time threat intelligence within SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and if there is, I'm not using it."

What is our primary use case?

I typically deploy it into typical business environments such as law offices, doctors' offices, and marketing companies. I have clients of all walks of life, including accountants, attorneys, doctors, and veterinarians. I work in a very simple environment and am not dealing with high security, such as CIA-level security. For example, I use it in a doctor's office where it does a good job staying HIPAA compliant.

How has it helped my organization?

The best aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Complete for these clients are its ability to detect malicious activity. While there are sometimes false positives, they are minimal, making it quite effective. It recently stopped a ransomware attack at one of my clients, proving its reliability. The clients do not see immediate efficiency gains or significant time savings.

What needs improvement?

I haven't done any integrations, as I'm just in the beginning stage of ramping up the product implementation and mastering the product. I don't qualify myself as a master in the use of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, so I cannot offer great insight on this.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have dealt with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for less than a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is demonstrated through its ability to detect malicious activity. While there are sometimes false positives, they are minimal. It recently stopped a ransomware attack at one of my clients, proving its reliability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My clients are mostly small, and my largest client has about thirty computers. I do the deployment myself, and it's not a huge effort. It's not comparable to dealing with a company that has three thousand computers.

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

In the past, I used another product that malfunctioned and caused high processor activity which required stopping and reinstalling it. However, this hasn't happened with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. I used to have many false positives with other products that would block good programs, but I haven't experienced that with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, making it more quiet and efficient.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very simple; deployment is straightforward. Fine-tuning it is a bit more involved, but overall, it's a very simple product to get started with.

What about the implementation team?

I was a part of the setup and deployment process.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment for my clients isn't visible until there is an incident or an attack that gets stopped. Then they realize the value of prevention. The challenge with security products is that ROI isn't apparent until an incident demonstrates the potential for loss. Clients often think they are immune, especially small ones, believing they're too small to be attacked. They don't realize that the cost of an attack could be a hundred thousand dollars, while they perceive the likelihood as very low.

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

The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is good. There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution. If they want security, looking for the cheapest solution means they have the wrong approach, because good products are not cheap.

What other advice do I have?

I don't have hands-on experience with CrowdStrike, Cisco, or Palo Alto products, but I know the companies. I do not have experience with AI features or AI analytics yet. I don't think there is real-time threat intelligence within SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and if there is, I'm not using it. I'm just getting to learn the product, so I cannot offer any deep insightful opinion. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a nine or a ten, as I'm very happy with it currently.
