SentinelOne Vigilance has very good detection.
Head of IT and Communications at Sonangol
Beneficial support, effective detection, but difficult to upgrade
Pros and Cons
- "SentinelOne Vigilance has very good detection."
- "My advice to others is this is a solid product."
- "When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."

It just works and has not been breached
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is that it works and isn't compromised. Other solutions I have used have all been compromised and SentinelOne is the only one that hasn't been compromised as far as I understand."
- "The most valuable feature is that it works and is reliable."
- "The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
What is our primary use case?
Ransomware protection
Malware protection
Anti-Virus
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that it works and is reliable. Other solutions I have researched have all been breached, and as far as I can establish, SentinelOne is the only one that has not been breached.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne for the past two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable.
As SentinelOne is automated, operates in the background and in real-time, some of our clients were not even aware that they were attacked, encrypted and rolled back. Their business carried on without any interruptions.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is excellent.
Very efficient on the use of PC resourcess.
Our clients are mainly niche clients.
How are customer service and support?
We very seldom needed to use technical support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We haven't used solutions with actual endpoint security, just antivirus software but not proper endpoint detection and response.
We needed an EDR System that would provide the best cyber security & protection to our customers.
Suject to T&Cs, SentinelOne offers a warranty of up to $1,000,000 USD against ransomware.
How was the initial setup?
It's very easy and there's no setup for the clients to do either. It's all deployed from the cloud and there's nothing to do on-site.
What about the implementation team?
In-house depolyment to remote clients
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think the pricing is reasonable because it does what it says. You may be able to get some cheaper products, but if they don't protect you then it's actually pointless. You're wasting money. Rather pay for something that provides protection.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Webroot, ESET, Crowdstriike as well as others.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to someone considering this solution is to contact me at CyberSec@global.co.za.
I would rate SentinelOne a nine ten out of ten.
Their documentation is good.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. We are a Managed Security Services Provider

- "My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer."
What is our primary use case?

What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is protection against ransomware and malware.

My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer.

Scalability is not applicable to this solution.

How are customer service and technical support?
I have not been in contact with technical support. Because it is so stable, support has not been important to us.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy. It may take one or two minutes to deploy.
What other advice do I have?
For me, this is a good product and I haven't had any problems with it.
