The best feature of this solution is the third-party management aspect. An external company oversees the tool's management and monitors the data it generates. If the EDR detects suspicious activity, it will react accordingly and take necessary actions, such as blocking a device.

There is always room for continuous improvement for SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response.
Paul Maddock - PeerSpot reviewer
Interim Head of IT - PT at The Henley College
Apr 3, 2024
I suspect that the areas for improvement may not necessarily lie within the tool itself but rather in our organization's lack of knowledge and understanding of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a complex area, and our organization has a skill set deficit. Therefore, we rely on our cybersecurity support company to help us manage the tool and handle incidents. Our limited expertise sometimes prevents us from fully utilizing them or identifying potential gaps.

The support response time is not the issue, however, sometimes, the answers provided are not fully satisfactory due to the nature of the technology and issue complexity.

SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook.

The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them.

Sometimes, SentinelOne Vigilance also detects false positives, which are not true. In such cases, we need to make changes in the policies on the dashboard accordingly.
