Automated behavioral detection has transformed endpoint containment and response workflows
Pros and Cons
  • "For now, I think this is the best ADR in my opinion, so I am happy to use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint every day in my job."
  • "I think the area that can be improved is the reporting and the dashboard customization."

What is our primary use case?

I use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint generally as an IDR, so I'm using it for searching about threats or for doing containment and eradication, also the part of triage, but the eradication and containment are more important.

Generally, I use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint for containment and eradication. One example was when we had a ransomware or a malicious activity on an endpoint, you can automatically isolate the affected device from the network. This prevents the threat from communicating with other systems or spreading laterally. This can be useful as well while still allowing the security team to manage the endpoint throughout the SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint console. For the console, an example for the containment and remediation is when we kill the malicious process or remove a malicious file, put it in quarantine or do some remediation or some rollback change can also use it for restoring the endpoint affected before the threat. We restore all the files and all the system changes if there is some modification of key or configuration. This is very important for this phase of the attack containment and eradication.

I always use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint for checking the chronological attacks or how the start point and all the chronological activity that the threat actor is doing. All the processes and everything about this is very useful.

What is most valuable?

There are many features I can mention. I think the best feature can be the behavioral AI because the automated threat detection and response is important ADR we use every day. Also, the storyline, the network isolation, and the one click remediation and rollback. I think the most valuable one is the storyline combined with automated remediation because storylines automatically correlate related events and show the complete attack context, which makes the investigation faster. For example, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint can isolate the endpoint, kill a malicious process, remediate the threats and support a rollback change. This significantly reduces the time required for an investigation and the response.

The storyline is very important because we can understand how the attack starts and how this finishes. I think this is the most important feature, and in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, it is very human. The storyline is important because it automatically connects related security events in a single attack story. Instead of analyzing individual alert process file activities separately, the security team or I as a SOC analyst can quickly understand the root cause, the attack path, and the impact of the threat. From my point of view, this is very important to reduce investigation time and make incident response easier.

The storyline is very important to understand how the attack started, what actions were performed by the threat actor, and how far the threat spread. This is also useful for the context of threat hunting and forensic analysis. Overall, this improves the visibility and helps to reduce the workaround for SOC analysts, especially when dealing with a lot of complex incidents or a particularly complex incident.

I think the impact is significant in our company, especially in the security operation and in the incident response because it improves our visibility across the endpoints and allows us to detect and contain threats much faster. One of the biggest improvements is the automation. Instead of relying heavily on manual investigation and remediation, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint can automatically detect malicious behavior and isolate the compromised endpoint and perform the remediation including the rollback of malicious changes. This helps us to reduce the mean time to response and limit the potential impact of an attack. SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is very good because it reduces operational workload, improves the response time and makes the company's endpoint security posture stronger.

What needs improvement?

I think the area that can be improved is the reporting and the dashboard customization. Also, the other tooling and the false positive reduction is important because it is better to prioritize the critical ones and reduce the false positives. Additionally, the integration from CMDB source solution is another improvement. Because the platform gives a lot of information, creating a customized report for management and different security teams could be easier and more flexible.

I think documentation can improve with more practical troubleshooting. Also, the agent performance is an area for improvement. I think the endpoint agent could be optimized to reduce CPU and memory consumption, especially on older systems. Additionally, policy management could be improved because managing policy across a large number of endpoints and different groups could be more intuitive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint since 2023, so it has been more than three years.

Learn what your peers think about SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: September 2026.
915,817 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I think it is stable. I can say it is now nine out of ten in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Regarding scalability, I can say it is highly scalable. We can easily increase the number of protected endpoints without making changes to the underlying infrastructure because of the management platform. We can easily manage the endpoints that have different locations, different departments, and environments in one single console. This is the reason I said now nine out of ten for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is good, especially with easy tasks. The response was very faster in the easy tasks and more lower in the more complex issues. But overall, I am satisfied with the quality of support. I can say eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I think we have covered everything because I have mentioned many things that can improve, and I hope they will because thanks to these improvements, they will become a ten out of ten. For now, I think this is the best ADR in my opinion, so I am happy to use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint every day in my job. I would rate this solution nine out of ten.

I can give many examples in these cases. Generally, we use a lot of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Azure Sentinel. I think the ability of SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint to share data with other security tools is very positive. It provides APIs and integration that allow us to send endpoint detection, alerts, and security telemetry to other platforms such as Azure Sentinel, Splunk, or SOAR. This is important because we do not want endpoint security to operate in isolation. Thanks to the integration with SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint with CMDB or with other security stacks, we can correlate endpoint data with information from the cloud, identity, network, and other security sources. This helps with automation. For example, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint detection can be forwarded to a CMDB or SOAR platform, where it can trigger additional investigation or response workflows. I would say that the integration capabilities are strong and valuable for creating a more generalized and coordinated security operation.

I can say that the platform can help us for other projects because the platform automates many activities such as threat detection, alert correlation, point containment, or detection. Instead of manually investigating every single endpoint, the storyline provides the context and attack chain and allows analysts to make decisions much faster. As a result, we can dedicate more time to threat hunting team, also to security architecture and to cloud security. It has improved a lot.

Of course, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint helps us to reduce the mean time to detect because thanks to the behavioral AI that is continuously monitoring endpoints and all the activity on the endpoint and identifies the suspicious behavior in real-time, including threats that may not be detected through traditional signature-based methods. This feature is very important. Also, the storyline automatically correlates the activity so our analyst does not need to manually connect multiple events to understand an incident. We can detect and understand potential threats much earlier thanks to these two features. This helps improve our response time and helps to reduce MTTR.

Regarding metrics, I can say forty to fifty percent reduction. I can estimate forty percent because some incidents before could take hours to investigate and do the remediation because you have to do several steps manually. With the storyline and automated containment, the one-click remediation and the rollback, we can handle many incidents much faster, sometimes in some minutes. I can say the time went from hours to minutes. So I would say forty percent is a good estimation.

Pricing is generally positive. It is being considered a premium solution, but the pricing is typically based on the number of endpoints bought and the package on the additional capabilities selected. I think I would say the pricing is competitive considering the security capability and the automation. I would say the pricing is fair for what SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is giving to us.

Regarding specific examples and time, I can say the main benefits come from MTTD and MTTR. Thanks to the automated remediation, we now do not have to do manual investigation. These are the parts that are the most important.

Regarding SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, I can first of all suggest to invest in it because I do a lot every day. I would recommend investing time in storyline and automated remediation capability because these are some of the areas where SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint provides the most value. Additionally, it is important to connect SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint with CMDB support or cloud identity which can help to get more value from the platform and improve the incident response process. I do not just deploy the agent and the found configuration. It is necessary to configure the platform based on our environment. This is what I suggest to configure the platform based on our environment and security equipment. With the proper configuration and integration, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint can significantly improve the detection, response time and overall frequency efficiency.

Protects endpoints, reasonably priced, and provides network and asset visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "The Ranger feature is valuable."
  • "The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for endpoint protection. Our clients are fintech companies, banks, and other organizations. The tool helps to pick up malicious files in the endpoint and protects the endpoint.

What is most valuable?

The Ranger feature is valuable. It helps us manage variable assets in our environment. The endpoints and nodes have SentinelOne engines on them.

What needs improvement?

The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console. Using SentinelOne Management Console to patch applications will be quite useful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for 3 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution's stability 7 out of 10. I've only had issues with the agents once. I reported it through the management console.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We use the solution in endpoints in different departments across the organization. The tool does not require maintenance. We can auto-update it from SentinelOne Management Console. We can push the auto-update agent from the console. I rate the solution's scalability 9 out of 10.

How are customer service and support?

The support personnel always want to share links instead of joining sessions. Getting them on sessions that would probably help resolve the situation is quite hard. They don't always want to do it. That's the only issue I have with them. When we raise a support case, they get back to us and point us to a link to a community guide or solution. They don't respond quickly if the problem requires us to join a virtual session.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not complex. The deployment takes about 30 minutes. It is quite fast.

What was our ROI?

Our customers have seen an ROI on the product. It takes them 4 months to see ROI.

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

The tool's price is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

We are partners and resellers. Singularity Complete’s interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions is fine. I've been able to push logs into our SIEM solution. We used our API. It was quite easy to do. The API token expires, so we have to regenerate and integrate it.

The solution’s ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions is quite fast. I don't have any issues with it. The Ranger functionality provides network and asset visibility. It's quite important. We can identify when endpoints that are not permitted or allowed on the network are active. It helps us isolate or deploy an agent on the endpoints. It's quite useful.

Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It is used for existing agents or endpoints. We can also identify neighboring endpoints that do not have agents. It's easy because we do not have to do any additional configurations. It leverages the current agents that we have deployed across endpoints. It's a good feature. We need not deploy another agent to work for Ranger.

A computer that doesn't have an agent is vulnerable to exploits. When Ranger helps to find the computer and network, it helps to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised. We can identify and isolate the computer and deploy the agent on it. Singularity Complete does not reduce alerts.

The solution saves deployment time. We can push agents from the management console to the endpoint. It will save us time from physically going to the endpoint and installing the agent ourselves. The product reduces MTTD by 20%. The product reduces MTTR by 20%.

If an endpoint gets compromised, we will have to spend money. The tool generally helps us stay safe and protects computers. Thus, the solution reduces costs in the long run. Unprotected endpoints are risky endpoints. Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.

Singularity Complete is quite a good tool. I'm quite confident in its ability to detect threats. It is good to have SentinelOne as a strategic security partner. People planning to use the tool must go for it. It's a good solution. It does what it claims.

Overall, I rate the product 8 out of 10.

Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are asset tracking, patching, endpoint tagging, and policy updates."
  • "While SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively visualizes security data across our solutions, requiring extensive manual effort for analysis limits its effectiveness. I would therefore rate it a seven out of ten."

What is our primary use case?

We initially implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to streamline application installation and patching across our extensive network of over a thousand systems. Managing individual systems has become increasingly challenging. While the platform provided initial visibility during the first attack, its usefulness in further investigation proved limited.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete boasts good interoperability.

It has helped consolidate some of our security solutions.

While the number of security alerts we receive has been successfully reduced, it has occasionally missed some threats. To address this, we have implemented Microsoft Defender alongside SentinelOne for additional protection. This layered approach has identified several malware incidents that SentinelOne, due to its limitations at the kernel level, did not detect.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has to an extent helped free up our staff time to focus on other tasks. In conjunction with Defender and Automox 60 to 70% of time has been saved.

Our mean time to detect has been successfully reduced by 70%.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our mean time to respond to threats it detects by providing informative feedback from malware reviews.

Our costs have been reduced because we use it daily.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our organization's risk by 80%.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are asset tracking, patching, endpoint tagging, and policy updates.

What needs improvement?

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively visualizes security data across our solutions, requiring extensive manual effort for analysis limits its effectiveness. I would therefore rate it a seven out of ten.

The pricing has room for improvement.

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?

I would rate the stability of Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Singularity Complete a seven out of ten because of the integrations they have with third-party groups.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is quick to respond.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We previously used Automox only for device management, not as a complete EDR.

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's price point is excessive compared to the functionality it provides.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's longevity in the market may have created an inflated perception of its capabilities. While it was once considered a leading tool, comparisons with newer solutions like Automox, Cynet, and Fortinet reveal a lack of active use cases and functionalities offered by these competitors.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

I haven't observed significant innovation from SentinelOne Singularity Complete lately. Other than obtaining the database, I haven't noticed any new features or third-party integrations being introduced. This leads me to believe that there may not be a high level of ongoing innovation at the moment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed across thousands of instances and endpoints in different countries across multiple offices in Europe.

The only maintenance required is for updates to the endpoints.

While SentinelOne offers valuable security protection, it may not be sufficient as a standalone solution. Relying solely on Singularity Complete for a week-long absence might leave our system vulnerable to threats that other Endpoint Detection and Response solutions could identify.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

In my previous company, I used VMware Carbon Black. When I changed jobs, my new company was already using SentinelOne Singularity Complete. 

What was our ROI?

We've seen a positive return on investment with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. The key benefit for me was the ability to proactively prevent suspicious activity on our endpoints. As a practitioner rather than a manager, I dealt with an incident on an endpoint and was impressed by the solution's capabilities. Singularity Complete automatically contained the threat, allowing me ample time to clean the infected machine. Most importantly, it prevented the need to rebuild any other machines, even the affected ones in most cases. I often resolved issues on endpoints within an hour or two, minimizing downtime and ensuring user productivity.

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

The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is competitive. SentinelOne has a better price out of the box compared to Carbon Black and CrowdStrike.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Carbon Black lacked the same level of back-end support as CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.

What other advice do I have?

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an innovative solution that is ahead of Carbon Black and on par with CrowdStrike.

It is a high-quality mature solution that will help improve any security stack.

Effectively prevents vulnerable devices from being compromised by isolating their network traffic
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the ability to drill down into individual sequences of processes."
  • "I encountered issues running Singularity Complete alongside other machine-learning tools."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to detect and respond to "unknown unknowns," which are threats that haven't been previously identified. Our process involves monitoring for any unusual activity or deviations from typical program behavior. This includes analyzing parent and child processes to ensure they're loading correctly and not communicating with unauthorized external servers for remote execution.

For example, I encountered a phishing email that triggered an investigation. Fortunately, Singularity Complete offers an event log feature that allows me to analyze the incident. The tool's built-in Advanced Detection Analytics functionality helped me identify the downloaded file, and its access time, and track its interactions with applications, including attempted installations. Furthermore, Singularity Complete boasts a rollback capability, enabling me to revert to a safe state before the malicious activity occurred. I've utilized this feature successfully for several clients.

In addition to Singularity Complete's event log and rollback functions, it excels in antivirus detection. It effectively identified even sophisticated threats like the MimiKatz attack, which attempts to escalate user privileges in Linux and Windows systems. The tool's signature-based detection proved valuable in this instance.

How has it helped my organization?

Automating threat resolution has significantly improved our security operations. On average, I scan around forty million files, and the detection rate has been quite good.

The integration capabilities significantly enhance my existing security environment. It is a night and day difference compared to CylanceOPTICS by BlackBerry, which I used previously. While CylanceOPTICS was good, it relied on an algorithmic approach that flagged millions of potential threats, resulting in some false positives that needed manual analysis and training. SentinelOne, on the other hand, leverages eleven different engines simultaneously, including AI, machine learning, heuristics, and dynamic and static scans. This comprehensive approach offers robust protection, and if something falls through the cracks, it can consult a cloud database for the latest threat intelligence. Beyond its detection capabilities, SentinelOne offers exceptional visibility and control. I can easily investigate events at any time, like tracking who accessed Yahoo Finance within my organization across specific timeframes. The global tenancy feature empowers me to apply scans and threat signatures across different segments or even my entire network, ensuring consistent protection. The more I explore SentinelOne's features, the more impressed I am. It's incredibly powerful and versatile, offering a level of security and control that far surpasses my previous solution.

The interface is user-friendly, but there's a learning curve due to its extensive capabilities. Navigating for someone unfamiliar with threat hunting can be challenging as they may need to explore every option. However, some features have tooltips explaining their function when hovered over.

Accessing the knowledge base often requires a partnership with the company. While I lack this access, my distributor provided the comprehensive admin guide.

Ranger is an excellent feature for threat scanning. While alternative pen testing tools like Digital Defense exist, Ranger offers a unique advantage. It utilizes SentinelOne agents as probes within the network, allowing scans for irregular connections and identifying devices without the agent. This provides a comprehensive view of potential vulnerabilities. Imagine we decide to deny access to certain devices. In that case, every agent with those policies implemented, throughout our network, would individually isolate their traffic. This isolation prevents communication with the rogue devices. Consequently, even if one of those devices harbors a threat, it's unable to move laterally within the network. All other devices, recognizing it as unauthorized, will refuse to communicate with it.

Ranger requires no additional agents, hardware, or network modifications. It's essentially a built-in feature of the existing agent. Therefore, if we have the module, we already possess the capability. Activation can be done remotely through the cloud. So, when we decide to upgrade to Singularity Complete, they'll offer us the option of adding Ranger Plus. If we agree, a small additional fee, typically around a few dollars, will be applied per client. While it might seem a bit pricey, considering the value it provides, I believe it's worth the investment. It translates to roughly five dollars per client. For instance, with 50 machines, the monthly cost would be $250. In my experience, it hasn't significantly increased my expenses. There might be a slight increase, but I haven't noticed any substantial impact.

SentinelOne Ranger effectively prevents vulnerable devices from being compromised by isolating their network traffic. This feature is just one of many within the SentinelOne platform, which includes a built-in router and firewall integrated directly into the agent. This integration allows for seamless compatibility with Windows firewalls and offers granular control over network traffic. For example, Ranger enables modification of the firewall's IP stack, granting the ability to isolate specific traffic based on defined rules. This can be particularly useful for segregating vulnerable devices and preventing their communication. While not recommended for general use, advanced users can leverage SentinelOne's Singularly Complete feature on, for example, a VMware server to further isolate vulnerable devices. By running the client software on a separate network from the server, administrators can block unauthorized traffic based on Ranger's or the agent's identification. This effectively isolates the vulnerable device, even if it's compromised since it lacks any incoming network traffic. The server acts as a default gateway, filtering and controlling all incoming traffic.

Singularity Complete can help reduce alerts when a threat is identified and a solution is implemented. However, if a threat is known but no solution is available, using Singularity Complete might increase alerts. This is because suppressing alerts for a known threat without addressing it can create a false sense of security. While Singularity Complete allows manual blacklisting of threats, it cannot import large lists of threats from spreadsheets in one go, a feature available in CylanceOPTICS. This can be time-consuming for dealing with many threats. Overall, Singularity Complete has improved in its alert management, but it remains average compared to competitors. While detection is excellent, the alerting system still requires some refinement.

As a threat detector, I perform threat analysis to quickly identify threats. This has significantly reduced the time I spend on analysis, allowing Singularity Complete to free up about 30 percent of my time for other tasks.

Singularity Complete has achieved a 15 percent reduction in our mean time to detection. This efficiency gain is powered by eleven different detection engines running concurrently, ensuring comprehensive identification of potential threats.

Singularity Complete can reduce our mean time to respond by providing a clear path to the root cause of an attack. However, it doesn't always do this, and sometimes further investigation is necessary. Nevertheless, the tool significantly speeds up the process of identifying the root cause. For example, imagine the timeline indicates a suspicious file was executed. We can use Singularity Complete to find out when it last ran in our environment, even if it wasn't detected on the same day. If the threat appeared recently but the file ran a month ago, it suggests a potential Trojan was planted. This prompts further investigation into how the file arrived on the system. It could have been introduced through a USB drive, email attachment, copied file, or existing on a network share. While Singularity Complete won't explicitly state the location like "Share five," it will provide a hash that can often lead us to the network path.

Singularity Complete helps manage costs by eliminating the need for additional products with overlapping functionality. This saves us thousands of dollars per month on full scans, as our existing agent already possesses that capability. By deploying it across all organizational agents and enabling Ranger, we can conduct daily scans that provide comprehensive insights into our network activity.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. However, it's important to remember that no system is foolproof. While I haven't experienced a security breach since installing it, I deliberately expose some machines to potential threats to test and observe new attack techniques. To strengthen our security posture, I've implemented additional measures. Some machines have less aggressive scan and detection settings to simulate vulnerabilities and observe attacker behavior. Additionally, our network is layered, with weaker points that serve as honeypots, while critical systems are protected by stricter security protocols. Beyond Singularity Complete, we utilize Palo Alto Networks and FortiGate firewalls for further protection. Ultimately, the decision to invest in additional scanning capabilities depends on the cost and our overall security strategy.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the ability to drill down into individual sequences of processes. This allows for building a highly detailed timeline of events, which is incredibly helpful. Additionally, the quality of the intelligence provided is excellent, making it difficult to choose between the two. The solution effectively reveals the attacker's tactics, including the mechanism or injection method used, how they exploit vulnerabilities and their use of decoys or misdirection tactics like dequay attacks. They may target one area initially, then shift focus to another, potentially planting seeds for future attacks. Overall, the timeline, intelligence, and overall capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Complete are highly impressive.

Everything operates in real-time, allowing us to conduct in-depth analysis to uncover previously unknown threats. This capability stems from the use of dynamic libraries, which enable flexible code execution. The key concept here is the ability to pivot within an application. We can dissect and analyze this pivoting behavior, which is a rare feature among software solutions. Additionally, the system allows us to create our custom signatures. By identifying a threat and performing a global search, we can locate other instances of the same threat across our network and establish correlation points. Subsequently, we can create a signature based on a unique identifier (story ID) and integrate it into the initial login scan. This enables us to proactively detect and respond to any attacks that utilize that specific signature, making it a powerful tool for threat prevention.

What needs improvement?

The uninstallation process for the SentinelOne agent could be improved. While it is currently possible to uninstall through the console, it can be more complex if registry modifications are required. Streamlining this process, especially for users with console access, would be a valuable improvement.

I encountered issues running Singularity Complete alongside other machine-learning tools. The program uses hooks, which we configure through a whitelist to specify allowed functionalities for each app. However, I've observed compatibility problems with certain applications. This seems to stem from my limited access to information from those companies, hindering the creation of effective hooks.

For example, an external scanner's EXE file might not provide hooks for features like memory protection or script locking, potentially conflicting with SentinelOne's capabilities. In my experience, Singularity Complete doesn't always play well with others. While it coexists with Kaspersky's detection without issue, enterprise AI solutions employing algorithmic scans or pre/post-execution analysis can pose problems. We might need to modify the whitelist due to unavailable information about the application's memory range. Sharing this information could create vulnerabilities, so companies understandably keep it confidential. While I believe CylanceOPTICS could likely work with Singularity Complete, I haven't achieved it because I prioritize optimal protection. Disabling all CylanceOPTICS features and putting it in uninstall mode allows it to function but without intervention. In such cases, CylanceOPTICS detects threats first, possibly due to its higher application number in Windows. Similar behavior has been observed with other products.

Deep Instinct is another excellent detection software I use for remote devices. Expanding Singularity Complete's coverage to include IoT devices, Linux, servers, Docker, and mobile platforms (currently limited to Deep Instinct on my devices) would be highly beneficial. While Deep Instinct allows uploading and installation via email code, Singularity Complete currently lacks this functionality.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for over five years.

How are customer service and support?

I've only had one interaction with their tech support, but it was excellent. In situations where we're struggling with an investigation, I believe they have a guardian contract that could allow them to analyze our findings. Alternatively, if we're having difficulty detecting something, they can guide us through the process. However, my access to their tech department was limited to a single instance when I needed it. The impressive part is that they were willing to help me even though I was from a partner company. Such helpfulness is rare in many organizations, which often require expensive fees before offering similar assistance.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Previously, we used CylanceOPTICS by BlackBerry but transitioned to SentinelOne Singularity Complete due to its enhanced user-friendliness. The latter platform boasts comprehensive investigation capabilities, allowing us to delve deeper into the specifics of security incidents. We can examine parent-child relationships, delve into registry entries, and analyze memory ranges with ease. The feature set is truly extensive.

While CylanceOPTICS offered some of these functionalities, it could not identify pivoting areas within an attack. If I needed to investigate the pivot itself, CylanceOPTICS wouldn't suffice. SentinelOne proves invaluable in such situations. By examining registry entries or monitoring running processes, it helps us pinpoint the root cause, be it a Run DLL or a Windows EXE file disguised as innocuous activity. While CylanceOPTICS might catch the attack, it wouldn't reveal the underlying malicious intent. SentinelOne grants us this crucial level of insight, empowering us to respond effectively.

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten. While the product itself is impressive, the price point is on the higher side. The only drawback is the limited support access. If they offered more affordable support options or provided unrestricted access to their knowledge base, I would easily give it a ten. Unfortunately, they haven't implemented this yet, as it would unlock more resources and expertise for users. Ultimately, it is what it is, but hopefully, they'll consider these improvements in the future. 

In my environment, I support a law firm and a music company while pursuing my research. Additionally, I use Intel hardware for testing purposes. My security strategy prioritizes avoiding complete system reimaging whenever possible. While I have encountered compatibility issues with specific SentinelOne versions and certain software, these were primarily during testing when I intentionally introduced malicious files. In general, the software has proven effective in preventing and mitigating threats.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has been excellent in its ability to be innovative.

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete is well-established software, the developers continuously strive to improve it. After all, no software ever truly reaches complete maturity. To remain effective, we must constantly adapt, improve, and refine ourselves in response to evolving threats and technologies.

I'd love to partner with SentinelOne right now, but as a small business, cost is a major concern. That's why I'm working with a distributor. They purchase larger license blocks, like five thousand or ten thousand, and because I was one of their early customers, they granted me access. While I have a partnership with them, it's not a formal one. To my knowledge, they require organizations to have at least one hundred or two hundred seats to be considered for a true partnership. I'm unsure if a program exists for smaller businesses, but based on what I've seen, access to their knowledge base, support team, etc., seems to be restricted to contracts with a minimum seat capacity of one hundred or two hundred.

The Ranger feature scans the network and provides visibility into all the unsecured assets
Pros and Cons
  • "I like Singularity's rollback features, threat-hunting, and Ranger Insights. The Ranger feature scans the network and provides visibility into all the unsecured assets."
  • "Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better."

What is our primary use case?

We are a service provider with a huge customer base. Singularity Complete is a tool we use to protect our clients from ransomware and other external threats. SentinelOne has been our strategic partner for a long time, and we are one of their platinum partners in Central Europe. It covers all endpoints like laptops, desktops, and servers. It's used everywhere. 

How has it helped my organization?

We manage multiple clients with Singularity Complete, and the clients are happy with the protection it offers against external threats or ransomware attacks. It's an excellent tool for detecting those and preventing much greater damage.

Once you deploy the tool and spend a few weeks fine-tuning it, Singularity helps reduce the number of alerts. It decreases your alerts by around 25 percent. Singularity frees up staff for other projects and tasks.

Singularity has reduced our mean time to detect and respond. At most, detection takes up to 30 minutes. The response time depends on your configuration. Quarantine is happening in real-time. 

What is most valuable?

I like Singularity's rollback features, threat-hunting, and Ranger Insights. The Ranger feature scans the network and provides visibility into all the unsecured assets. It doesn't require any agents or network changes. It just gives us information about the unsecured assets that aren't managed by the IT departments of any company. It detects the vulnerabilities but doesn't prevent them. 

What needs improvement?

Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Singularity for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Singularity Complete eight out of 10 for stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Singularity Complete nine out of 10. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate SentinelOne support four out of 10. Their response is usually slow, even for priority one issues. They don't get on a call and fix the issue. They keep asking questions, so it gets frustrating sometimes. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Deploying Singularity was straightforward. The only issue is with the interoperability with other tools running in the customer's environment. We faced some challenges, but those were the initial teething issues. The solution requires some maintenance. You need to continuously update the agents and apply patches. We need multiple people to maintain the solution because we are a service provider with a huge customer base, but if you are deploying it for one client, one engineer is enough.

What was our ROI?

If an organization does not use this tool and gets attacked by ransomware or a threat, and it will incur costs in terms of a ransom or business loss. Singularity reduces organizational risk by about 30 to 35 percent. 

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

Singularity is reasonable, but a few clients say it's expensive because they're comparing it with traditional antivirus. The pricing could be much cheaper for the Asia-Pacific region because it's a price-sensitive market.

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of 10. Singularity Complete is a high-quality tool. The detections are good. We don't see many false positives. It's a good tool. It's still maturing but good. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Gives us "eyes" on all our endpoints and the ability to manage them if compromised
Pros and Cons
  • "We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer."
  • "Ranger does provide me with visibility of the network, but not completely because the assets it scans are often mistakenly identified regarding what type of device they are."

What is our primary use case?

I am part of the security team, and our strategy is to have this EDR deployed on all of the company's assets, all of our endpoints. We wanted a powerful platform in terms of detection and response to incidents.

How has it helped my organization?

It gives us a first layer of security. In addition, we have hired the SentinelOne Vigilance Respond team, a 24/7 SOC that monitors and mitigates. And, in case we need to escalate an alert on any of our assets, it allows us to do a bit of threat intelligence analysis and debug any asset on any topic.

It has helped reduce alerts thanks to the Vigilance service over the last two years. This includes all types of incidents, whether critical, medium, or low priority. Most of the alerts are managed by them, and we do not see them. We only see those that require some information that only our company has, but very few reach that level since Vigilance is directly in charge of managing them. If we had to manage the alerts that Vigilance manages, between 30 and 50 percent of my workday would go to reviewing alerts.

Overall, it has reduced our mean time to detect by about 70 percent, as that is the percentage in which it acts as an autonomous tool. And our mean time to respond has been reduced by 80 to 90 percent because we have SentinelOne's DFIR, Digital Forensics and Incident Response, team involved.

By providing that first layer of detection and response, SentinelOne allows us to have eyes on all our endpoints and, from there, to manage if a machine or a server has been compromised. We can directly isolate it from the network so that malware or ransomware cannot spread broadly.

It has helped us consolidate security solutions, although we did have some problems. The DFIR team responds quickly, and the Vigilance Respond team is continually working with us, managing the alerts. We do quarterly evaluations, and the support team always responds well, plus we interact with the tool ourselves.

The security team has gained a presence and control over the company's equipment that we did not have before.

Every device that does not have SentinelOne installed is a risk, and without SentinelOne, the difference would be significant. It has helped reduce our organizational risk by 70 percent.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne has three services that are very well consolidated:

  1. Technical support, through which they help you, suggest new configurations, and resolve questions.
  2. The Vigilance Respond service, which is a 24/7 SOC that works on and manages all the alerts that are raised in SentinelOne on our devices. It’s a first layer of defense that filters a lot of the requests. Sometimes we end up escalating something because there are times when we need to understand if the alert is a false positive or not.
  3. DFIR, Digital Forensics and Incident Response. This team is in charge of doing all the forensic analysis of an incident, and we have a certain number of hours contracted with them. Their advisors' technical level is very high and enables you to create a high-quality forensic report, in case you have to escalate or report it to senior staff. The DFIR team is excellent.

Another aspect that is very good is the solution’s ingestion and correlation across security solutions. We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer. If you do not have visibility over that computer and the ability to manage it, you cannot block it, restart it, or run a full scan to see if the user has clicked on a link or if any type of malware has been downloaded. This is a layer of visibility and basic management that any company needs.

Also, there is the threat intelligence and activity correlation. They not only detect and respond to incidents but also prevent them.

What needs improvement?

We started using SentinelOne Ranger, but we found two problems. Perhaps they are particularities, but they should be addressed as they may change the minds of other companies that are considering this feature.

The first problem is that, while it scans all the assets that are on the network, when it comes to discerning whether an asset is a server or a laptop, it tends to fail. It does not have a very high level of precision. We have experienced problems when reporting these types of assets to those responsible for installing the agent, and then they tell us, "Hey, this is not a server, this is a fax," or "this is a printer." When things like that happen, we lose credibility.

The other issue that we saw with the functionality of Ranger is that if, for whatever reason, you have a product with SentinelOne installed but it is on a client's network, the SentinelOne agent starts scanning the ports and the network and goes to a honeypot. As a result, the client may think that it is being attacked because someone has reached its honeypot, when it’s actually us on the client's network. When you don't know that this is happening, it can generate conflict and tension with the clients. Once you know about the problem, you can deactivate that process, but sometimes it can have a negative impact.

Ranger does provide me with visibility of the network, but not completely because the assets it scans are often mistakenly identified regarding what type of device they are. A SentinelOne agent is worth a lot of money, and there is no point in putting it onto a printer, for example. It should have the ability to go a little further and be more precise.

Another very clear area for improvement, one that I don't understand why they haven't deployed it yet, is a self-updating SentinelOne agent. The agent has a version, and what SentinelOne proposed up until one year ago is that you had to be proactive in consulting the dashboard to see if your agent had reached end-of-life and then update it. Now, they've released a new feature where I believe you can schedule updates, so it makes perfect sense for the agent to update itself without any action on our part, and never go out of version. By simply connecting to the network it should be able to download and update.

This idea is not critical because SentinelOne updates many versions of the agent and, when one becomes obsolete, it does not mean that it no longer works. But this is something that SentinelOne should know how to work with. A solution could be that if you do not have the ability to auto-update the agent, SentinelOne would directly tell you which agents are not updated. That way, we would not have to go to the documentation, look at the dashboard, and filter the agents by version. It would be great if it were able to tell if the operating systems are unsupported so that we wouldn't have to look in the official documentation at whether the Windows Server is outdated or not.

If the agents self-updated, maintenance due to the update process would be minimal.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne is very stable. It has never dropped or caused any problems

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We do not have it in any cloud. The agent is located on devices; we manage almost 10,000 computers. Our company has a presence in nine European countries, and SentinelOne is used in all of them. Our department is the group that supervises all regions, including Spain, France, the Nordic countries, Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland.

We are continually deploying new agents because we detect more and more devices. SentinelOne will stay in our company until it dies, so to speak. With what it has cost us to get here, we will not change now.

How are customer service and support?

Support responds in less than a day.

SentinelOne is a top partner in the industry.

What was our ROI?

Defender for Endpoint is more expensive than SentinelOne. Other solutions are more expensive and others are cheaper, but in terms of cost-benefit ratio, we’ll always stick with SentinelOne.

The detection and visibility over all assets, whether by the agent or Ranger, and the ability to take action as a result are worth it. It is all very intuitive, and for me, these elements are our return on investment.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

All the portals, at the end of the day, are "first cousins", such as CrowdStrike and Palo Alto, although that's not exactly an EDR. We went to a global cybersecurity congress in London, and all the solutions were there: SentinelOne and its competition. At the portal, user, and other levels, they are practically the same. Each will have something that is better and something that is worse, but they are quite similar.

What other advice do I have?

You have to do a cost-benefit analysis. Understand the context of your company. It is not the same for a bank or an insurance company compared to a company in the industrial sector that does not manage sensitive data. Understand your particular needs. After a cost analysis, if there is enough budget, choose SentinelOne.

The most important lesson I have learned using SentinelOne is to always listen to what the Vigilance Respond team says.

We are still chasing the benefits of the solution. The model is already deployed, but we are a very large company, and every day we find new devices that do not have SentinelOne. We are still in that phase of continual improvement, of improving the solution and achieving even more benefits. We are getting to the most isolated cases of, for example, servers that have little RAM, and we are debating if we should apply SentinelOne to them because, perhaps, the server will be affected more so.

We are dealing with these small cases and continuously improving. You don't get all the benefits in two months; it is an ongoing process.

I would recommend SentinelOne, and if, in the end, it is a question of budget, choose it. If I became a CSO tomorrow, that is what I would do.

Drastically reduced alerts, highly interoperable, and unparalleled support
Pros and Cons
  • "I have been a Mac guy for twenty years, and the feature parity and the capabilities of a Macintosh agent are unparalleled in the industry. It is the first anti-malware and antivirus that does not make you feel that you bought the wrong processor. It is really good and lightweight."
  • "It seems like they are doing a lot with their automatic updates. They can maybe slow down the actual release cycle to make it easier to deploy the most recent and then do it using the live update. They can continue to work on that because trying to get agent changes through change management platforms and get approvals and testing can be quite difficult."

What is our primary use case?

It is our primary software platform for endpoint detection and response and vulnerabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

Our overall fleet posture and our security have increased a lot. It is much easier to get the agents out onto machines no matter what their operating system is, and it gives equitable reports back no matter what our platform is.

So far, it is one of the most interoperable applications and platforms that I have seen. There is the ease of bringing things in with the marketplace and the willingness of the company itself to work with you to help you address anything that they do not currently have.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. Being new in the department for a year and a half, I am not the one to say how much time it has saved, but it has made my life easier by several hours a week. It gives me a straight line and a story for what I am looking for, so I can quickly identify whether something is to be expected and just a false positive or if it is actually a problem. Usually, when it is a problem, SentinelOne would have already mitigated it.

Singularity Complete has absolutely helped reduce alerts. It has drastically reduced alerts across the board. There is a 40% to 60% reduction. This reduction is because it is tunable. It is very tunable, and you can tweak it to meet your needs where you are not just stuck with what a manufacturer or a software developer said in terms of the alerting that you are going to get.

Singularity Complete has definitely helped reduce our organizational risk. Our risk score has gone down by 15% to 20%. We have better coverage and better insight into what is being covered.

Singularity Complete has probably saved us costs. I do not have enough insight into those budget numbers, but they keep adding things to it, so my guess is that it has saved us costs.

SentinelOne is one of our most important partners. The help that we get from their engineers, success team, and support really and truly has been unparalleled.

What is most valuable?

I am going to be a little biased because I am a Mac guy. I have been a Mac guy for twenty years, and the feature parity and the capabilities of a Macintosh agent are unparalleled in the industry. It is the first anti-malware and antivirus that does not make you feel that you bought the wrong processor. It is really good and lightweight. 

What needs improvement?

It seems like they are doing a lot with their automatic updates. They can maybe slow down the actual release cycle to make it easier to deploy the most recent and then do it using the live update. They can continue to work on that because trying to get agent changes through change management platforms and get approvals and testing can be quite difficult.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Singularity Complete for three years.

How are customer service and support?

I am blown away by their support. Every time I reach out to my customer service manager, they are returning questions after hours. You do not see that from a lot of companies. I would rate their support a 10 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We were not officially using a similar solution. We had other products that we were using, but we did not have a full solution like SentinelOne. We were using multiple things. One of them was McAfee. We switched because they got bought by Trellix, and nobody knew what was going to happen with them. That was our most recent one and what I am most experienced with.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in its initial deployment. I packaged the Jamf mobile device management installation package for our Macs. As far as security products go, it was the easiest one. The instructions were great. They were aligned with the vendor, which is something not common. Usually, it is like, "Here is what you have to do with your vendor." SentinelOne took that extra step, and it deployed right out of the box.

We have on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud deployment. Our cloud provider is primarily AWS, but we also have a little bit with Google and Mandiant, so we have a hybrid cloud. We are in the middle of a migration. The cloud is fairly new for us, and securing it has been a priority.

We have our deployment segregated on endpoint types, but our entire organization has it.

What about the implementation team?

We did it directly on our own. We rolled it out very quickly. We had been dealing with McAfee before it, so this was like a breath of fresh air.

We had two or three people working on it, so it went out very smoothly.

What was our ROI?

I believe we have seen an ROI. If nothing else, the investment that they are making, as analysts, engineers, and architects, we feel that we can get more done in SentinelOne and have a better stance overall for our organization. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

They evaluated a lot, but that was before I was in the department, so I do not know exactly which ones they did.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise listening to your sales engineers and letting them give you ideas because SentinelOne can do things that you have no idea about.

For next-generation platforms, it is at the top of what is a small stack right now, and that puts them ahead of a lot of other people.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It has been fantastic for us.

Provides centralized management but doesn't work very well with Linux endpoints
Pros and Cons
  • "Whether our endpoints are running on Windows, Mac, Linux, or any flavor of operating systems, and even mobile devices, we can have a central dashboard through which we can do complete user management and policy management. We can have a complete security posture organization-wise, department-wise, or business-wise."
  • "We ran into production issues related to CPU utilization on Linux endpoints. Our production environment's performance got degraded like anything."

What is our primary use case?

We used it only for six months. Initially, it turned out to be a good product, but then we had an issue, so we stopped using it. We are now using CrowdStrike.

From an endpoint perspective, we have a heterogeneous environment. We have Windows, we have Mac, and we have Linux endpoints. We deployed it on all the endpoints, all different operating systems, and cloud instances as well. Our AD was also integrated along with the identity solution, but the issues specifically get reported on the endpoints for open-source or Linux. That is why we decided not to move forward with it.

By implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we wanted security for our endpoints. After COVID, endpoint security became even more critical because our perimeter was more exposed. It was expanding wherever the end users were, so endpoint security became much more critical. Previously, in terms of endpoint security, the traditional antivirus, anti-malware, and endpoint protection were disconnected systems. We did not have any offline correlation, log collection, or policy management, whereas SentinelOne, as well as CrowdStrike, come with a central console. For compliance requirements, such as ISO, SOC 2, or PCI, we have to provide evidence in terms of the status of the endpoint patches and security posture. That is possible through the central console. That was the motivation for us to move to one of these products. SentinelOne was our first choice, but we ran into a specific issue.

We had not specifically signed up for any risk management, but we were also looking to expand that to a completely managed SOC where we do the log correlation as well. When we initially started, we only started with the endpoint, identity, and cloud.

How has it helped my organization?

The main reason for getting this solution was that it was a new-gen endpoint solution for having an organization-wide view of security vulnerabilities or abnormal behavior. That was the main reason we got started with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. It gave us a lot of that information. It also helped us with compliance requirements. In the case of any specific instance or any abnormal behavior, its reports certainly helped us with the root cause analysis and collection of logs. It helped us in providing or collecting the evidence that we could use in our compliance reports to ensure proper reporting for relevant legal entities.

The ranger product helped us to do discovery of endpoints. We could identify our rogue devices.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped to reduce alerts. It groups the alerts. If you have similar alerts coming from the same server or a couple of servers at a similar time frame, it groups them and sends a single alert along with the device ID. This way, you have less number of alerts for the team to work on. If the agent itself is not in the running state or does not have the latest signatures available, it basically groups the alerts and tries to create a single alert. You have all the endpoints listed out, and you can take action against that particular issue rather than the same issue being reported from thousands of machines together. It is hard to provide the metrics, but generally, it helped quite a bit. I had around 8,000 endpoint licenses, and if 20% of the services started reporting the same issue, there would have been 1,500 to 1,600 alerts in a minute. It merges them into a single alert. We can also define a real-time action. A single alert helps our backend team to take action easily. The same is applicable to the SentinelOne support as well. If certain patches or certain actions are required to mitigate an issue, their team can do the mitigation in one shot and the fixes get pushed to all the servers that were reporting that particular issue. In one shot, you can automate and orchestrate your mitigation.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped reduce the mean time to detect and the mean time to resolution. There was at least a 10% reduction.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete did not help us save any direct costs, but there is an opportunity in terms of manhours saved in the backend because of having all these features integrated. There were indirect cost benefits. We saved a lot of hours because our engineers did not have to keep an eye on all the alerts. They could automate certain actions. That was an indirect cost benefit. I cannot list any direct cost benefits. These are costly products.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete absolutely helped reduce organizational risk. It is meant for that. We had different levels of reporting available. We could have an executive view. We could view the standards or framework that we were using. We could see the level of compliance to various standards in terms of percentage. We could also define the actions by accepting something as a risk or mitigating that by orchestrating.

What is most valuable?

There is centralized reporting and view. We can have role-based access management where technical people or monitoring people can have a central dashboard with a single view of all the endpoints. Whether our endpoints are running on Windows, Mac, Linux, or any flavor of operating systems, and even mobile devices, we can have a central dashboard through which we can do complete user management and policy management. We can have a complete security posture organization-wise, department-wise, or business-wise.

They have a good data lake kind of feature where you can ingest all the security logs. They can be from your endpoint, your identity management system, or your cloud. They can be from any of those services, so you get to do log analytics. That is one of the features that I liked about it. The same capability is also available with CrowdStrike which we are now exploring because of the issue with SentinelOne. However, at the time, with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, because of log analytics, we could do threat intel or sandboxing or have custom logic written for any specific kind of reaction. Those kinds of things were quite easy.

Log analytics and a couple of other things were also pretty good.

What needs improvement?

We ran into production issues related to CPU utilization on Linux endpoints. Our production environment's performance got degraded like anything. After a lot of debugging, we figured out that because it consumed a big percentage of the CPU and memory. Some of the applications were restarting automatically or randomly. We had an auto-healing infrastructure, so if the system memory was available, the application would restart on its own. When this issue got prolonged, we could see a lot of service failures because of being out of memory. This issue started hitting us wherever we had persistence connection requirements. Because existing connections were breaking completely, any transaction that somebody was doing online got terminated, and that was a big issue.

They should improve it for the open-source or Linux endpoints. They can provide customizations where we can limit the on-access CPU utilization or memory utilization. It should honor the specified limit and use only a limited percentage of CPU and memory rather than utilizing all the CPU or memory available on a system. 

Other than that, I do not have any input. There is a lot of potential. There are a lot of possibilities for orchestration and sandboxing. Because we hit one particular issue, we were not able to continue using it, but I see a lot of opportunities there.

For how long have I used the solution?

With SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we did not work for a long time. We gave away this product within six months. There were some problems or issues reported, and that is why we discontinued using this product. We stopped using it nine to ten months ago. We have now migrated completely to CrowdStrike.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I discarded this product within six months. I would rate its stability a five out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is fine. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability. 

We used it in a heterogeneous environment. We had about 8,000 endpoint licenses.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate their support a six out of ten because the issues that I had reported were not resolved.

As a strategic partner, SentinelOne is pretty good. They are very proactive.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

Prior to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we had multiple pieces. We did not have one single product for everything. For endpoint security, we had McAfee as an antivirus and anti-malware. For identity, there was a different application altogether. For SIEM, there was a completely different solution, and for log correlation, we had a different log management server. Dashboarding solutions were completely different. EPO was the tool that we had to orchestrate some of the endpoint and antivirus-related policies.

We were having some challenges with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, so we migrated to CrowdStrike. We are now also exploring CrowdStrike's SIEM solution.

From a maturity standpoint, both SentinelOne Singularity Complete and CrowdStrike are mature products.

How was the initial setup?

We deployed it on-prem and on the cloud. Its deployment was straightforward. It was orchestrated via my backend tool.

It does not require much maintenance. The maintenance required is similar to an endpoint. One or two people are sufficient for 8,000 to 9,000 licenses because they need to just monitor the status. In case they find a rogue device, then only they have to take action. Otherwise, once they have a complete deployment done, they just need to automate reports and tasks. Those kinds of things certainly help.

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

It is expensive. There is no doubt about it. If one of the functions does not work, it becomes very difficult for any CIO to justify the cost.

I would not be able to share the exact price, but we had almost 8,000 endpoint licenses, and it was a huge cost.

CrowdStrike is not cheaper than SentinelOne. Both products go neck to neck. Both are costly products. 

What other advice do I have?

I would advise going for this solution only if you have a clear use case.

I have only one recommendation. If anybody wants to use such a solution to its potential, they need to be very clear about their use case. They need to know whether they want to go for the complete solution or they are just focusing on the endpoint solution. If you have a complete use case that requires EDR, identity, cloud, and log analytics, then SentinelOne or CrowdStrike makes sense. If you only have an endpoint use case, then these solutions do not make sense. It would not be a cost-effective deal.

After the complete endpoint deployment, you have complete asset visibility. We never used the life cycle management piece. We were just using the EDR feature.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete did not help free up the time of our staff for other projects and tasks. It has a lot of potential to do that, but we used it for a very short duration. Because of the issue we had, we did not continue using this solution. However, it has a lot of potential.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a six out of ten. After they improve the product and their support, I may increase the rating. At this time, I cannot rate it more than six.

Effectively ingests and correlates data from all our security solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out for its threat-hunting abilities and the agility of its agents in detecting malicious content across our gateways and endpoints."
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers competitive pricing, but there's always potential for even better value."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for network protection and response.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively ingests and correlates data from all our security solutions, providing a unified view for better threat detection and response.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete aggressively identifies and quarantines potential threats. It effectively catches threats that other EDRs might miss. Overall, we find this level of aggressiveness acceptable for an endpoint protection solution and are satisfied with SentinelOne Singularity Complete's performance. We saw the benefits immediately.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete significantly reduces alerts by filtering out many false negatives. This allows us to identify actual threats as soon as they are categorized, separating true positives from the filtered noise. This helps us focus on the real threats, eliminating the need to sort through irrelevant alerts. The number of alerts has been reduced by 75 percent. It also helped to free up a significant amount of our time to work on other tasks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has significantly improved our ability to detect threats, even those previously unknown. This advanced EDR solution provides alerts for any suspicious activity, regardless of classification, allowing us to proactively assess and mitigate potential risks.

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete shows promise in reducing our organization's costs, the solution is still new to us and we haven't quantified the exact savings yet.

It improved our organization's security posture by enabling us to proactively identify and neutralize emerging cyber threats, thereby reducing overall risk in the ever-present threat landscape.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out for its threat-hunting abilities and the agility of its agents in detecting malicious content across our gateways and endpoints. We're impressed by the breadth of threats covered by their constantly updated signature base, providing full protection against new cyber threats. While we're still exploring the platform's full potential, Singularity Complete's extensive capabilities, and superior coverage compared to our previous solution have already given us a significant security advantage.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers competitive pricing, but there's always potential for even better value.

For how long have I used the solution?

How are customer service and support?

SentinelOne's technical support was good at assisting with onboarding through troubleshooting actions and resolving configuration problems.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

After using Symantec and Fortinet's EDR solutions, we migrated to SentinelOne Singularity Complete seeking a more comprehensive defense. SentinelOne's aggressive threat detection capabilities were a major factor in our decision.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was seamless thanks to the SentinelOne support team. We had three people involved with the deployment from our local team and the support engineers online.

What about the implementation team?

The SentinelOne support team helped us with the implementation in-house and it was seamless.

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

The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is competitive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated several endpoint detection and response solutions, including Symantec, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, and Bitdefender. While Symantec offered a phased migration option from on-premises to cloud and maintained endpoint interoperability, its EDR and threat-hunting capabilities fell short compared to SentinelOne. SentinelOne's robustness ultimately outweighed the advantages of the other options, including CrowdStrike's strong detection capabilities but higher price point, and Bitdefender's overall offering.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We're in the process of consolidating our security solutions by migrating some services to the SentinelOne platform. While SentinelOne is a strong contender, we're also evaluating other tools to diversify our security posture and avoid vendor lock-in. This multi-platform approach will ensure we have the full protection needed.

As of now, no maintenance has been required for SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne is a strategic partner for our security operations. Their solution helps us maintain the safety of our internal systems, applications, and users. As security is a top priority, we consider them a top-tier partner in our overall operations.

I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete for anyone needing a robust Endpoint Detection and Response solution. However, to ensure it meets your specific needs, thoroughly evaluate its capabilities against your current operational requirements. If it aligns with your needs, consider a trial to experience SentinelOne's operation firsthand before committing to a contract.

Considering our sensitive data and security needs, we require a top-tier endpoint protection solution. SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out as a market leader, achieving high ratings and verification from industry experts like Gartner.
