SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint Reviews

We use it as an EDR solution for all of our endpoints. We use it for our desktop servers, cloud, and Linux. We use it for all of it.

It showed us things that we were not even aware of. It went beyond malware and showed us behaviors. It showed the bad behaviors of a lot of our end-users.

The interoperability is all there. We are still at the beginning of our journey, but everything is kind of teed up and aligned for that integration. We are talking about the ServiceNow integration. It has been the early placement in our cloud clusters or nodes. Those are the things that have made interoperability, integration, and adoption easier.

Singularity Complete has not helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks because we are still at the beginning, and we still have a lot to deploy, but we will realize that. I am confident that we will realize those efficiencies.

Singularity Complete has changed what we are looking at. It has dramatically decreased our false positives. We are not chasing false positives. It does not save time as such, but it has helped us focus on what is actually important.

Singularity Complete has not helped reduce alerts, but it has changed what our analysts are looking at. We expected a spike in alerts. The product is showing things that we did not previously see, so the increase in alerts temporarily for a short duration or for the next six months is expected.

Singularity Complete has reduced our false positives, and it has helped us see the hygiene of our whole network in our environment.

Singularity Complete compresses the triage time. It is all about the triage time. That life cycle going from information to action is what security operations are all about. SentinelOne does that because it helps analysts focus on those true things that are risk-behavior in our environment, rather than the validation that they were on more traditional signature-based platforms we had before.

Singularity Complete has not helped reduce our organizational risk, but it has absolutely increased our awareness of that risk. Knowing what your risks are is half the battle before an organization or a medium-sized organization, so being aware of the risk is the first step, which is available for the first time since we adopted SentinelOne.

As far as EDR goes, the behavior analysis of the incidents is my big thing. 

Its non-signature-based capabilities and the heuristic analysis for dynamic threats are also valuable.

There should be full and complete integration in the single console of the mobile agent.

We have been using Singularity Complete for 18 months.

It is scalable, and it has scaled well.

So far, everything has been great. During our deployment, I have bugged them a lot, and it has been pretty good. I cannot complain. I would rate them a nine out of ten. There is always room for improvement. During their deployment, I relied on them to make sure that all of our things went fine. We had some hiccups, and they were there with us. They were there to help through everything. There were some things that took longer time to research and figure out, but for the most part, if I needed a solution, I got it.

We had a bit of a hiccup that was at the SaaS level. Keith W and the complete team made it right once they knew and understood the problem and its impact on our organization. I value that a lot.

We were using another solution before SentinelOne. We made the switch because of functionality, compatibility, interoperability, visibility, and ease of integration. It checked all the boxes that we needed. We definitely needed to go this way.

It was pretty straightforward, and it was pretty easy to get everything out.

We pushed through SCCM, and it went right in. I had very minimal issues with all of our endpoints. The ease was right there, and basically, there was not a disruption. It was one of the easier deployments that we have had. It roughly took half the time as our previous endpoint protection solution. We did it in about nine months, and we rolled from PoC straight into deployment. The previous solution took about 18 months to cover the same population with a lot more complications and finagling to make it work.

We implemented it in-house with some professional services from SentinelOne. Our experience with SentinelOne was good. We have no complaints.

It is hard to say, but I can say that we have seen an ROI because we have discovered things that we were not aware of. That alone is a return on the investment in my book, and my leadership understands that, and that is easy for me to make.

Singularity Complete has not saved us costs. We are not there yet. It will, but we are at the beginning of our journey. It is going to zero in on things that need to be corrected. For us, it is hopefully going to be that change agent or the catalyst for the change agent to our behavior. Technology can only go so far. We are starting to look at the behavior of how some of our business processes have been run because the risk has not been fully understood, so the costs are unquantifiable at this time, but I am sure they are there. I am confident that they are there.

It is comparable. Something that I look at for the long term is how sustainable it is. There is quite a bit in the security portfolio that I manage, and we will see.

We evaluated about seven other products through an evaluation score guard criteria in-house. It has been so long since I have looked at that matrix, but it came down to analysts evaluating it against our set requirements and evaluation criteria. After that, it becomes a number, and the numbers have a certain magic to themselves that makes things more objective. The numbers just came out where the score was clear and evident based on the analysts' analysis.

It is a good product, and it is something that has future-proofed me in my program for the organization.

I am pretty sure I made a super smart decision when I chose to buy it. The roadmap is sound. Based on the keynotes at SentinelOne OneCon23, there is a lot going on. They are dedicated to improving the product. There are a couple of things, such as SentinelOne Mobile, that cannot be forgotten. That is integral for us or our organization, but, overall, I feel pretty good about the strategic roadmap or journey that we will be on.

From a pragmatic level, it is very mature. There was a bit of a false start with the SentinelOne Mobile, which is important for us, but overall, the product is very mature and adaptable by a variety of talents and skill sets that you find in your SOCs or security operation centers.

I would rate it a nine out of ten because of the Mobile issue. This is something big, and I am a little worried that I did not see it in the keynotes SentinelOne OneCon23.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for incident management planning to protect against insider and outsider threats, monitor threats, block websites across our branches, and manage assets.

Before implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we could not track our assets, manage the threat insights, or block USB devices. Now we can manage and handle all our assets and keep them healthy. We can also protect our data from malware and ransomware attacks.

The SentinelOne Singularity Complete reporting suite is essential for providing comprehensive visibility into the security posture of an organization.

We realized the benefits of SentinelOne Singularity Complete two months after we deployed it. We knew after the proof-of-concept that SentinelOne Singularity Complete would be useful in our environment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps our organization track all our systems. We receive an automated weekly threat report on our systems, which helps us manage incidents before they occur. We automatically receive insight threat reports in our emails, which is a great way to identify and track issues so that we can remove the affected asset from the environment to protect our systems and network.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory.

SentinelOne's XDR service is valuable. We use them to find the root cause of an issue.

I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six months.

We previously used Kaspersky, but we found that it could not clearly identify all of our assets and risks. With SentinelOne Singularity Complete, our environment is more secure.

The initial deployment was straightforward. 

We used a third party for the implementation.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We recommend that people evaluate SentinelOne Singularity Complete before buying it. At a minimum, they should compare it to their current solution and other products to see the difference. They should do a small comparison of the major points that each product covers and does not cover. Once they have a good understanding of the options, they can have a demo or proof-of-concept before making a purchase. Additionally, it is helpful to check which companies are currently using SentinelOne Singularity Complete in their live environment for a long period of time without experiencing any challenges.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to provide endpoint protection for all endpoint servers and Kubernetes clusters in our environments where SentinelOne is supported. We also use SentinelOne to help manage our systems and provide visibility into the assets in our environment.

We have found that Singularity Complete integrates well with our existing SIEM solution, Splunk, and some of our other system management tools, such as Okta and Armis. We are also looking forward to the additional future integrations that are planned.

I appreciate Singularity Complete's ability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions. I use this feature quite often, either to perform deep visibility searches to correlate data across different sources if I have specific concerns about security events, or even to track running or operational issues as well. Singularity is not only a security product but it can also be used for troubleshooting non-security and related issues on devices.

Compared to the previous EDR solution, Cylance Protect, we had substantially fewer false positives when we implemented Singularity Complete.

Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTD.

Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTR somewhat compared to our previous EDR solution.

Singularity Complete has reduced our organizational risk by 20 percent, specifically the risk profile associated with malicious activities on protected devices.

The most valuable features, of course, are the protection and support for the devices. In addition to that, the ability to see the last log-on dates for time-tracking purposes has been helpful. The most useful feature of all is deep visibility. I think it was recently renamed to something else, but it is the ability to run IOC queries across all devices and gain information to look at any kind of potential events that might occur.

We have had cases where Singularity Complete has caused applications to malfunction. The existing interoperability rules have not necessarily been sufficient to resolve those conflicts. SentinelOne needs to work on interoperability with other systems and on the interoperability rule set.

I have been working with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one year.

We have not had any stability issues in our environment with Singularity Complete.

Singularity Complete is scalable.

With any support service, it depends on the person we get on the line. Some are better than others. But overall, I find the technical support team to be good, comparable to other good technical support teams I've seen from other vendors.

Positive

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to move away from a legacy EDR platform, Cylance Protect, that did not perform as well as a modern EDR solution should.

The initial deployment was complex due to the complex environment. I would agree that deploying to a single device would be straightforward, but we have a manufacturing environment that requires bespoke applications, which makes any migration complex.

Fifteen people were required for the deployment.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The pricing and licensing make sense. We worked with a third party to help us with licensing, and the licensing we obtained through that process was ultimately reasonable and comparable to other products on the market.

We evaluated Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

We are considering the possibility of using SentinelOne to consolidate some of our security solutions, but have not moved in that direction just yet.

Singularity Complete has not yet saved our staff time because it takes more time to deploy and migrate to the point where we have time savings. I think it will in the next couple of years.

We see a lot of innovation from SentinelOne. They are acquiring many other products that are integrating with the platform we looked to adopt in the next couple of years if it works out well. New features and functionalities are also regularly released. So, in terms of innovation, that's one of the reasons we chose SentinelOne Singularity Complete in the first place.

Singularity Complete is a mature product that can sufficiently protect our assets. I would say that the core features associated with that functionality are in place and work well.

Maintenance is relatively low, but systems need regular updates, and we need to troubleshoot all of them. So, there is some work involved.

SentinelOne is a good strategic security partner. We appreciate the direction of their product roadmap and its current coverage. One area where they could improve is in having their EDR support teams reach out to us. We don't believe we have an EDR or anything similar setup, but it would be helpful if they offered quarterly or semi-annual meetings to check in, see how we're doing, and give us an opportunity to provide feedback.

People researching Singularity Complete should first understand their environment and deployment goals to ensure compatibility between their existing solutions and the new product. They should also evaluate multiple competitors before making a commitment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the best antivirus available, and it also provides a vigilant service, so I don't need to keep an eye on the portal. Someone else monitors my antiviruses and all the threats out there for me.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped us address the missed viruses and potential ransomware attacks from a single location for our security needs.

The interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party tools is good. We have integrated it with Mimecast.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete ingested all the data from Mimecast and displayed it in a single location.

It has helped consolidate our security solutions in one place.

It has helped our organization improve its visibility by allowing us to see which users are risky, which machines are at risk, and which machines are outdated.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce the number of alerts. In addition, we use Vigilance to hide all alerts, so we don't see any of them.

We have freed up 30 percent of our staff time. As the only person in the IT department, I can now focus on other tasks. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is like having an extra pair of hands.

It has reduced our MTTD by up to 80 percent depending on the time of day.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTR. We have an SLA with Vigilance, and they respond quickly to alerts.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our organizational risk by 40 percent.

The portal is the most valuable feature because it provides us with a single pane of glass view and is highly intuitive.

The adware and pop-up blockers have room for improvement.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six years.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. The portal has never been down. We occasionally have an agent fall off the network, but this is usually due to the latest version of Windows being installed on an old agent, which causes it to stop working. However, this is very rare.

As a growing company, I'm glad that the SentinelOne Singularity Complete portal will show more and more devices, but I'm not particularly concerned about that because I've paid for Vigilance service. I'm confident that we're covered no matter how many threats or issues arise.

Technical support is quick and provides great documentation to explain issues and remove agents.

Positive

I previously used McAfee and it often caused our machines to blue screen and crash. SentinelOne, on the other hand, is a stable agent. If we install the latest agent on our machines, it will not affect their performance or speed. Many other agents can have adverse effects on our machines, but SentinelOne will not.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a next-generation antivirus that is far more innovative than McAfee. One of its selling points is that it constantly improves and looks for new threats, while McAfee has not changed significantly in years.

The initial deployment was straightforward. SentinelOne provides easy-to-follow well-documented instructions. I completed the deployment myself within half an hour.                                   

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has protected us against infected machines, resulting in a 20 percent return on investment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is fairly priced. After discussing the per-user cost, we found it to be acceptable for the functionality it offers, and we are happy with the protection it provides.

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed across all departments and devices, and everything is in Intune. When anything is deployed to Intune, antivirus is applied first. It is mandatory on all devices. We have 270 endpoints.

No maintenance is required on our end.

SentinelOne, as a strategic security partner, meets all the requirements for being the solution to our cyber risk on devices, which is essential for us to know that we are safe.

I chose SentinelOne Singularity Complete at a previous company and sold it to the company I am with now. It is very easy to do a proof of concept and see everything that is missing from other solutions. I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

The primary use case for us is to use the lightweight SentinelOne agent on our endpoints. Our previous vendor's agent was heavier, which caused performance issues when scanning our systems. We were impressed with how lightweight the SentinelOne agent is and how few resources it consumes. We also use it for some of our infrastructure, which includes machines with limited resources. We wanted to find a solution that would not impact the performance of these machines.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has streamlined the mitigation process and the time it takes to analyze and understand whether I have a true positive or a false positive. This has definitely saved me some time. The rollback feature is also a nice addition. Previously, our old solution would link out to services like VirusTotal, but it was difficult to follow these links to determine if an alert was a true positive or a false positive. For example, an alert might be labeled as a potentially unwanted application, which might not be as critical as a true positive. SentinelOne has made it easier to determine the severity of an alert. I have also noticed that SentinelOne has cut down on the number of false alerts. Our old solution would alert us to things like Chrome browser updates, which would download and make registry changes. With SentinelOne I have only encountered one alert that I didn't need to worry about.

We have definitely saved a lot of time. We had to spend some time setting up the environment correctly, scaling up the protections, and setting any exemptions. After that, the most I need to do is troubleshoot issues that are not related to SentinelOne, such as removing the SentinelOne agent if I need to troubleshoot another issue on an end-user device. Application updates, such as when a new installer is released, are the only other times I need to access SentinelOne, besides when I need to review an incident.

It has helped us reduce our MTTD. We are notified of threats quickly, and being able to see the threat on our dashboard has simplified the process. Once a threat is identified and I am on the screen, I can click once to view the visibility and see if the threat is anywhere else on our network. This is fantastic.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us reduce our MTTR.

Although it is difficult to quantify the direct financial savings of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we have saved money indirectly through time saved.

Visibility is one of the most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete. It does not directly replace a dedicated SIM solution, but it works well for our environment and gives us the visibility into our systems that we need.

I appreciate that it is easy to review incidents that have been detected by the behavioral AI or the SentinelOne Cloud. From the notification we can click into the incident to start reviewing, it is just a few clicks. I have all the data in a single pane, and I can pivot to other sources of information, such as VirusTotal, with a single click. I can also hunt for the incident on the network with a single click. This makes things much easier and saves me time from having to review logs.

One way to improve and get additional benefits would be for SentinelOne to host the updated installer files for us, rather than us having to download and host them ourselves. This could be done in cloud storage or through our mobile device management platform. When they release a new package, whether it's an early release or a general release, I believe they could provide more value by hosting those packages directly. Currently, when they release a new package, I get notified, which is great. However, I then have to go to the portal, download the package, and replace the package that we have posted on our own cloud storage. This is time-consuming. If they could simply provide me with a link to the latest general release installer, that would be fantastic. Even if the link changes, I would only need to change the URL in our cloud storage. This would save me a lot of time.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for five months.

I keep the central tab open in my browser. If I click Sign in instead of being signed in, the page refreshes, and I have to sign in again. I think this was just a session token expiring. I have not experienced any stability issues with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, such as crashing or downtime.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable to our infrastructure and endpoints. Once we figured out the deployment hurdle for Windows and Mac, we were able to push it out to all of our endpoints without any problems. I can break out devices into different sites and groups, and some of those groups can be dynamic. For example, if I'm looking for a Mac computer versus a Windows computer, I can just click on the group and see all of them there. I can also add tags for anything, such as the OS version or if the person might be a specific risk. These are non-relational attributes and values that we can set, so we can define whatever schema we want. It's fantastic.

The technical support team was quick to answer my question and their answer was precise. I didn't have to go back and forth with them or explain things multiple times. They gave me exactly what I needed.

Positive

We previously used BitDefender and Malwarebytes. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was priced similarly, and we felt that it had better support. When we had a support issue, it was answered and resolved quickly. Additionally, the visibility and ability to traverse the logs of all the other devices in our network were invaluable. This allowed us to see if a threat might be present elsewhere in our network. This is what ultimately led us to choose the complete solution over the other SKUs that they offer.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a lightweight agent. Additionally, some of our servers are running older operating systems. The agents from our previous vendor did not work well with these older systems. I specifically looked for a new solution that would not be a watered-down solution and would function across our legacy architectures as well as our current modern setup.

Another benefit of the Singularity Complete solution is the increased visibility it provides. We are able to collect data on endpoints that are connecting to specific IP addresses or installing specific files with similar hashes. This allows us to see how far a threat has propagated through the network or if anyone else has it installed. This is something that we could not do with our previous solution.

We use Windows and Mac computers. Deploying SentinelOne on Windows was fairly easy. We were able to do it through our remote management solution. The installation was straightforward and simple. The most difficult part of the process was that the device had to reboot in order for SentinelOne to connect to the visibility service and bring everything online.

Deploying SentinelOne on Mac was a bit different. This is primarily due to the way the macOS operating system works. We need to grant specific privacy permissions to applications in order for them to have full disk access or screen recording capabilities. We found that if we installed SentinelOne on the user profile of a Mac computer, the user's administrator could remove it. This is not ideal, so we had to go back to the drawing board and deploy SentinelOne through our MDM solution.

The biggest headache was that, in order to deploy SentinelOne through MDM so that users did not have to grant privileges to the application, we needed to create a Privacy Preferences Policy Control profile with the specific permissions granted for the SentinelOne bundle ID. We then pushed this profile out to all users. Once we did this, the installation was seamless.

A few colleagues and I completed the implementation in-house.

We have seen a return on investment in the form of time savings. We used to spend more time on incidents, but now we can quickly triage them and move on to other things. This has freed up our time so that we can focus on more important tasks.

We did receive a competitive price for SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, I believe the retail pricing, or MSRP, is a bit high. I hope we can get the same competitive pricing through our reseller when it comes time to renew. I still believe there are benefits to the solution, even if we had to pay the list price. However, I think they could be more competitive with their upfront pricing.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten. The room for improvement is to add some additional features, such as Ranger, which they sell separately. I see a lot of value in Ranger, and I wish it was included with the complete purchase.

We do not have any direct plugins for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, such as Ranger. Ranger is an add-on that I believe can be purchased through SentinelOne to expand our visibility. We do not have that, and I wish it was included because there are quite a few nice features that I would hope to see eventually included or trickled down to the complete solution. I feel like those are just a few other cherries on top that would really put this package over the top. One of the struggles I have in a Mac environment is creating a custom application creating the Privacy Preferences Policy Control profile and setting everything correctly so that users do not need to interact with the application when it is pushed to them. SentinelOne has clear documentation and works with a few MDM vendors that have documentation already published. So when we were running a POC for a few of these vendors, it was very easy to get that set up, which is not something I can say for other applications.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an intuitive product. I found the getting started guide and active preparation checklist to be very helpful. The checklist is well-documented and comprehensive, and it covers everything from the initial purchase to GoLive. The support team was also able to answer any questions I had about navigating the application. The interface is mature and user-friendly. I have not encountered any major issues so far. Overall, I am very happy with SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is definitely valuable as a strategic security partner. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was our top choice, and we are happy with it. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues if they were looking for a solution for their company.

Maintenance is only required when the vendor releases a new general access version of the installer. I need to download the new version, upload it to our servers, and make sure it deploys successfully to our machines. This is the extent of my maintenance responsibilities. I do not need to directly interact with the application itself.

I would recommend that people evaluating SentinelOne Singularity Complete try it out to see if it is right for their environment. SentinelOne offers a trial that can be set up for their environment. When an organization purchases the product, they will flip a switch and there is no need to set anything else up. This was beneficial for us because we did not have to waste time setting up and deploying the product to a few devices in our environment only to have to do it again after we purchased it. I would also recommend engaging with the resources that SentinelOne provides to get a good understanding of the product. We can tweak the settings and see how it responds to different threats. If organizations have any specific needs, they can talk to an engineer during the trial. This was helpful for us because the engineer was able to make changes to the settings to meet our needs. Overall, I would recommend taking a look at SentinelOne Singularity Complete. I was initially overwhelmed by the different SKU offerings, but I was able to work with sales to find the best package for our needs. The SentinelOne team has been very helpful.

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus and also as a network control with built-in policies regarding device control. 

The product is a lighter client. Our previous solution ran heavy on the workstations and caused performance issues. This is lightweight and doesn't take up system resources. 

You can use the solution right out of the box. It's ready to go with baseline policies and is good to use without any changes. It's only gotten better since we've added custom rules. 

It's simple to use and intuitive. It gives you good visibility and shows what is going on. 

The product works well with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party tools. It's pretty seamless. They make it pretty easy to integrate with other products and you can pull data pretty easily from the other solutions. 

The solution's ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is excellent. It has allowed us to blend data from another product we own. 

It's helped us consolidate our other security solutions.

The product provides network and asset visibility. The Ranger piece is probably one of the best items. We have other solutions for asset management, yet none is never 100%. With Ranger, we really get that visibility we need. Having Ranger built into one client and being easy to use has been perfect. It helps us prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We've discovered a few assets within our organization we were not managing fully and Ranger has helped us secure our environment just that little bit more. 

There are fewer complaints from users when scans are running. The previous solution just used up so many resources. This product runs seamlessly in the background and we know it's running since we get triggers on alerts that are legitimate catches. SentinelOne does a good job at detecting. It's reduced our alerts by 25%.

The product has helped to free up our staff for other projects and tasks. It's freed around 50% of their time. 

It's reduced our company's mean time to detect by 40% or more. It's also drastically improved the mean time to respond. We don't have to worry about false positives. We know when we get an alert that it's legitimate, and we need to act on it. That's improved by about 40% to 50%

The biggest thing for me in terms of improvements is the online console. There are frequent updates, and sometimes we'll get a little agitated getting signed in. However, on the product itself, I would not recommend any changes.

I've used the solution for a little over a year.

The solution is very stable. Our old solution required babysitting to make sure everything was running correctly.

Pretty much everybody in the company uses the solution. We have 1,300 deployed agents and ten administrators. 

The solution is absolutely scalable. 

I have not had to use technical support.

We previously used Sophos. The biggest reason for the switch to SentinelOne was the system resources that were used. Whenever it would kick in, I would get tickets related to machine performance. 

The console is on the cloud, however, the devices are on-premises. The initial setup was very straightforward. Overall, it was fairly quick. We had more trouble getting the older product uninstalled than SentinelOne installed. We did the implementation slowly based on the business requirements. We deployed it over the course of a month. 

The company does a good job with training and keeping its documentation up to date.

It does not require much maintenance. Every now and then we might have one or two false positives.

We've seen a great ROI on the product. Obviously, we're still within our contract. That said, we've definitely seen a ROI. We've had a couple of incidents where something wouldn't have been detected previously.

The solution is fairly priced for what you get. 

We're a customer and end-user.

They do an excellent job at remaining innovative - including with their detection engines and everything involved in their product. They are doing an excellent job compared to everyone else.

SentinelOne has not been around for many years - yet the product is ahead of its time.

With any solution, I'd advise doing a proof of concept first. After that, I would not shy away from fully deploying this solution.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. The only thing that would improve the product is reducing the online console updates. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

It has helped our organization save costs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We previously used ESET. 

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

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

No maintenance is required from our end.

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

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

In most cases, the product is used as an XDR or MDR for our customers internally as well. It is used for us to provide some customers with a light SOC service so we could also manage that solution. So as an example, if they don't have dedicated resources to look or monitor it offers that ability for them to do the monitoring for you or for some customers. That is very handy. But most of the time, we use it as an MDR XDR solution for our customers.

We mostly provide customers with MSSP services. We do not resell it as a standalone.

The ease of use and has some integrations within their marketplace. Those come in handy. The GUI is really easy to use.

The storyboarding gives you a play-by-play of how an instance or alert came to be.

Some of the automation tools are really good. 

Singularity's ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is great. I don't see a platform that does it better. At least from an MDR standpoint. It really is a central tool to ingest that data to begin with and correlate and then it's pushed out other solutions like Splunk or other solutions.

Singularity has helped reduce alerts. The automation tools have been able to lower the number of alerts. We desensitized alerts as there are too many of them. Sentinel One has helped repair it with our team to do that. Just the ability for the automation tools to be in use has been really helpful.

Singularity has helped free up our staff for other projects. The automation tools have really helped there.

Our security team is about ten people. Two people no longer have to worry about anything. We've saved about 20% to 30% of our labor, our staff. 

Singularity helped reduce our organization's mean time to detect. We're able to detect or even dive in and look for issues. We have the freedom to look and inspect. We're proactive now.

Our mean time to respond is good. It helped us fill operational procedures.

Singularity helped save costs. We've saved in terms of operational costs or even salary in terms of time-savings. We didn't save on platform to platform, yet we saved on time. 

It's helped us reduce organizational risk. We're able to monitor our networks better.

They are probably the most mature product at the moment. For the price point, we're getting a good middle ground of price and value. 

I would hope that they would increase their prebuilt migrations. As an example, they have one Active Directory in Azure Cloud, which is really good. If they can expand that to other pretty well-known software, some platforms, that'd be great. What they have now is good for some of the key players like Azure, Google, and Splunk. I would just like to see that being expanded.

We'd like to have a network map or scan to cover network security. That would be good to have.

I've used the solution for five to six years. 

The stability is great. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. They are never really down. It's usually up and running. 

The solution is very scalable and very easy to scale. 

Every time we have an issue, we get somebody who knows the product and can talk us through it. We can resolve issues pretty quickly.

We had used Crowdstrike and Trend Micro a bit. 

We first switched to Sentinel One based on an audit. It was a next-generation antivirus. There are new options on the market now. We continue to use it due to the fact that are always improving their offering and I don't see a better option on the market.

I was part of the deployment. The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

We have three people involved in the deployment of the product. 

There isn't too much maintenance. It just works. 

We did use a consultant to assist with deployments in the past. At this point, we just do it ourselves. 

The pricing is good. They are in line with the market.

We looked into Crowdstrike, Carbon Black, and Microsoft.

In terms of Ranger, I've used it. I have not used it recently. I'm actually trying to get back into and play with that again.

Sentinel One is good as a strategic security partner. The platform is great and there are a lot of features. Using their managed service really does help. We can partner with them to provide that service to our customers. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

I'd advise others considering the solution to get with a good MSP or MSSP. Users should try the complete version and all the features to find out about the entire system. Get the higher feature set and go down from there. I'd also advise at first new users get a good MSP to work through the initial installation process. 

We use it for endpoint security for all of the systems in our environment. We have servers and workstations. We have macOS and Linux operating systems, and we are using it as an EDR/endpoint protection platform.

There is a lot of improvement from a security maturity perspective. Even though we have a very reputable and well-known SIEM, one of our go-to applications in our environment is SentinelOne. On a daily basis, almost all my staff or my analysts use it and operate it every day. It gives us a lot of information and a lot of data about what is going on. In addition to the detections, we are able to use and leverage Binary Vault. We could also use Remote Script Orchestration, which is an add-on that we could add to the platform. It allows us other functionalities that we would not normally have with another product in the same category. It allows us to run scripts on endpoints remotely out of the SentinelOne administrative GUI, which we use for all kinds of purposes. It has improved our abilities significantly in what we can do.

We have visibility into all our systems. We have visibility into malware or any suspicious activities that are occurring. We have the ability to quarantine systems based on the risks. If there is something going on, we have the ability to do that. We can also run remote scripts on systems, and we can control certain types of devices such as USB access. We have the ability to control what people can do with USBs. That is another functionality we use.

Most traditional antivirus platforms are very basic in terms of how you add exclusions. Usually, you completely exclude an application from detection. They do not provide you with various modes or various levels of visibility into an application. SentinelOne provides different levels of visibility, so you can have a level that has some visibility and does not completely make the application invisible to SentinelOne. It is the first platform that I have ever worked on with such capability. Instead of just a binary exclusion on or exclusion off, they provide different interoperability modes. There are five interoperability modes. Some are performance-focused, and some are visibility-focused. They allow you to select the mode that will give you the best balance of visibility and performance depending on the application. It is very handy. Most endpoint security platforms, antivirus, and EDRs are binary. You apply the exclusion and have zero visibility into what that particular application is doing in your environment. With SentinelOne, you can implicitly trust, or you have the ability to say that you trust it, but you want to have an eye on it if anything ever happens. For example, your third-party software is compromised, as happened with SolarWinds, and it starts doing funny things in your environment. That is what the interoperability exclusions give you with SentinelOne. This is an excellent feature.

In terms of its ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions, they have recently added the Singularity marketplace in XDR. Not all of them but most of them are included in the license. We do leverage it. It gives us additional context. For example, we were able to add the VirusTotal API, which adds the context of what VirusTotal has in terms of information on a particular detection or binary that is detected in SentinelOne. They are starting to build those APIs out. We are able to add more context from other third-party applications. It is excellent. It is at no cost to us. We are using quite a few of them already for other platforms that are built out of the box. We are starting to leverage any out-of-the-box APIs for the platforms that we have.

It has helped us with a little bit of consolidation. We were able to consolidate the device control. We were using another platform for that. We had another completely separate vendor for USB control, and now, we have decided to not renew that license and move all the controls through SentinelOne.

It has not helped reduce alerts. The point is not to reduce alerts. It is to increase alerts. The point of Singularity is to reduce incidents, and, we for sure, have achieved that. The point of the Singularity platform is to block things that we do not want to occur in our environment or at least have visibility to them so that we can take action. If we were to strip it out completely, the organization would be in a much worse place.

It has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks because the incident response has diminished. I do not have my analysts responding to threats. I have them just validating when something is detected to ensure that we are okay. For sure, it has freed them up. There are about 25% of time savings.

It has reduced our mean time to respond (MTTR). Without it, we would not have very much visibility into detections. It has improved our mean time to detect by 80% to 90%. If we did not have Singularity Complete, we would have very little visibility on the endpoints at least, and that is where most of our threats are occurring.

We have a service from SentinelOne called Vigilance. This service has reduced our mean time to react or respond. This 24/7 service has improved our mean time to respond significantly because it is the SentinelOne analysts who are responding. It has improved our mean time to respond by 80% because they are performing the analysis. They are the experts, and they are looking at the detection in our console. We do not have to go out and try to perform that same level of understanding of what we have just seen. Their experts take a look at that. Instead of spending hours and hours trying to figure out what we are seeing, it is literally down to just minutes by the Vigilance team. It is a separate license that we have incorporated with our Singularity license. It is a part of their MDR solution. It is a service they offer.

It has overall reduced our organizational risk.

The EDR functionality of the platform is what we use the most. That was the primary reason why we got SentinelOne. That is what we use the most in terms of functionality.

The ease of use can be better in Deep Visibility. It is not always the easiest. If I have not been in there in the Deep Visibility module for a long time, I do not always find it that easy to use. I tend to go and have to consult the help quite often if I have not been in there a long time. I am not a primary user of the application, so I do not always find it second nature to go in there and gather information. It could be a little easier. 

We have been using this solution for four years.

Its stability is next to nothing. It probably has an uptime of 99.99%. The only issue you would have is that the agent sometimes becomes unresponsive or corrupt, but there is not a single application in the world where you do not have some level of corruption or issues that may arise. If anything, it is much better than the others that we have.

It is very scalable. We have doubled the number of licenses or agents we have had in the last three years, and we have not had any issues.

They are excellent when it comes to interoperability and exclusions. For example, you may have somebody in your environment complaining about slowness, or you may have several situations where end-users may report that a certain application has been slow on their computer. SentinelOne gives you the ability to remotely pull the logs off a computer and send the logs to tech support for them to perform an analysis. They can perform their analysis from the logs and come back to you and say, "From what we are seeing, it looks like you have an application running application ABC that seems to require an exclusion. We recommend this interoperability type." All you have to do is say, "Oh, perfect. Thank you very much for that information. Add the exclusion." They have done all the analysis for you. You check back with your end-user to see if that has rectified the situation. In almost every circumstance that we have run into, it got rectified. I have never seen that type of analysis performed by an EDR or endpoint protection provider before. It is the first time I have seen that. This aspect of their support is excellent. However, some of the other things are not always detailed enough in terms of what we should be doing. They can be a bit vague, and if it does not help the situation, they may have to raise the issue to a different tier. So, they can be a little vague about exactly what you should do, but at least they set you on the right path. Overall, I would rate them an eight out of ten.

It was a product by Carbon Black called Carbon Black Response and Carbon Black Defense. We switched because Carbon Black was purchased by VMware at the time, and their customer service was diminishing substantially. Some of the older products that we still had by Carbon Black were not being supported as well as they were previously. Their technology roadmap was not fantastic. We started looking at other products. We found CrowdStrike and SentinelOne to be more up-to-date and more modern EDR solutions. We saw a noticeable improvement in terms of technology and detection. At the time, SentinelOne was priding itself on the level of number of detections it could detect. A lot of that came into the reviews of the product at the time and the type of tests that it was undergoing and its performance in those tests. That was a primary reason for deciding to go with SentinelOne and going away from Carbon Black. Pricing was another excellent aspect of the platform.

They host the platform in the cloud. It is a SaaS application for us.

Its deployment was extremely straightforward. All you have to do is deploy their agents on your computers. The agent checks in with your cloud console, and you start retrieving information immediately. Carbon Black Defense has that capability as well, but we went with SentinelOne because it did have that cloud capability. When COVID hit, and everybody left the office to go home to work, it was seamless for us. We have full visibility into every single system and asset in the organization whether they are on-premises or off-premises. They could be traveling. They could be anywhere in the world. As long as they have Internet connectivity, we have full visibility into their computers.

In terms of maintenance, the only maintenance that is required is to maintain the health of the agents. Sometimes the agents can become corrupt or stop functioning, so you have to ensure that you are checking for assets in which you run into those situations. The other thing would be the agent versions. You have to maintain agent versions as new versions of the agents come out. You can either automate it so that your agents get updated automatically on whatever schedule that you want, or you can do it manually. You can also do it through some other software deployment platform. That is the only thing you have to do maintenance on. The backend is all maintained by SentinelOne. All the updates to the console environment are taken care of by SentinelOne. Because it is a SaaS application, the only thing that the customer is responsible for is the agent deployment and upgrades.

We worked directly with the SentinelOne team. From our side, there were two of us. From their side, there was probably just one engineer.

It has helped our organization save costs. In terms of metrics, I can only go by what other competitors were charging at the time, and we got it at a significantly better price than what some of the other competitors were charging.

The ROI is not just from the platform itself. It is also from the Vigilance service perspective that has freed up my guys to do many other things. It saves my analysts at least two to three hours per day in man-hours, so there is a huge return on investment there. For the price that the service costs, it is extremely good value.

Their pricing was extremely competitive. That is why we stayed with them so long. We are renewing at the end of next month. We have already put in the approval. It is all set to go. We are renewing for another year or so year over year. It has been a very effective product, and it has been priced very competitively.

To someone who is researching Singularity Complete, I would say that it is excellent in terms of quality and maturity.

I would advise performing an extensive proof of concept. If you have the ability to use a security tool validation platform to test out multiple platforms before choosing one, that would be a good idea. You should also understand various modules that are add-ons to the platform. It is extremely important.

I have used the Ranger functionality, and I am very familiar with it. It provides network and asset visibility. You can configure the agent to scan the subnet that it sits on and look for other assets that are missing the SentinelOne agent. You can create a policy saying that if a device sits on a specific subnet and has, for example, more than five systems, try to interrogate those systems to see if they are the systems that may be eligible for the SentinelOne agent but are missing one. We did not renew the license for that specific functionality of SentinelOne about a year ago. We decided to go with another vendor to give us that type of visibility.

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

We use Singularity to protect our staff computers, the hospital network, and virtual machine servers. Singularity helps us ensure our environment is fully protected in light of the increasing cyberattacks hospitals face.  

Singularity's Ranger feature provides deep visibility. We implemented some rules, and Ranger scans the system based on the criteria we set. Ranger's ability to scan without agents or network changes is crucial because we want to minimize the number of changes needed on end-user machines. It's an excellent tool for minimizing risk and detecting threats before they disrupt our network.

The solution has decreased the number of alerts we see. We get notifications and email alerts that some user machines are compromised. Singularity does a good job with bad files and data, allowing us to tackle those threats before they become bigger problems.

Singularity has helped free up staff time. For example, it automatically updates virus definitions so we don't need to do that work manually. Singularity pulls the latest virus definitions on its own. It actively monitors our machines without us having to do anything.

It has reduced our mean time to detect by about 70 percent. Singularity has reduced the mean time to respond by roughly 90 percent because we can choose to respond to a threat by rolling back, deleting, or quarantining it. It greatly reduces our overall risk by about 30 percent. 

Singularity's rollback feature is one of the primary reasons we bought the product. If there's an attack on the machine, the system can automatically roll back the data and the hard drive of the machine that was attacked.

The interoperability is solid. We've integrated Google Authenticator with SentinelOne for multifactor authentication, so it works well. We also use Citrix multifactor authentication. It works well with our other systems. 

The performance could be better. Singularity lags a bit, and it's a resource-hungry application, so it takes a while to load. 

I have used Singularity for about a year.

I rate SentinelOne Singularity seven out of 10 for stability. The stability and performance could be better. 

Singularity is highly scalable. We can easily cover all our machines with it. 

I rate SentinelOne's support seven out of 10. SentinelOne's customer service isn't that great. There's only so much they can do before they just tell you to look at the documentation.

Neutral

The deployment was straightforward. We worked with a trainer and implementation specialist over at Sentinel. Four people from our team and one from the vendor were involved. After installation, the primary maintenance is ensuring the agents are deployed to the end-user machines. 

Singularity is fairly priced. 

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of 10. It's a high-quality product compared to what else is on the market. When implementing Singularity, it helps to organize your machines into groups like laptops, servers, and desktops and then push the agent to those groups separately.
