What advice do you have for others considering SentinelOne Singularity Identity?

Windows Defender comes by default with Windows. When you are using Sentinel One on top, it depends on the firewall solution you are using in between. From an endpoint perspective, if these are going to your endpoints, you may have a choice of having separate antivirus solutions, and Defender may be disabled. Singularity still works as it's a centralized solution. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

For someone who's researching Singularity, yet they're running Windows Defender still may need Singularity. Defender doesn’t have the level of capabilities that this does. Based on our testing, it's a great endpoint security solution, and we're actually running it in concert with this one. We have Defender for the endpoint and installed it as well. However, as a detection response solution, Defender is kind of a backup. The information we get on the Defender console is helpful, yet it doesn't give the same level of granularity or the other automated remediation capabilities. Defender is the baseline; I wouldn't throw it out. I would keep it and still put Identity in the environment. You'll get more value out of Identity than you will out of Defender. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. I'd advise others to not just sit through a demo; run a proof of concept and get it in your environment if you can. That will give you more information and a much better feel for how it is and how it can help you improve your security posture.

It is a product that you can rely on. This is the first endpoint solution that we have seen doing its job. Based on the experience that we have had, this is the best product that we have seen. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

I rate SentinelOne 10 out of 10. SentinelOne will make you aware of things you did not know were happening, and it requires minimal effort to resolve issues. That's the perfect combination. A lot of tools will find problems and tell you about them, whereas SentinelOne goes that extra step in resolving them.

We didn't use a different solution before SentinelOne Singularity Identity, we just had an AD. One of the reasons why we chose to go with Singularity Identity is that we moved over our Outlook Mailbox 365 accounts to the cloud. Previously, we had on-site exchange servers with the mailboxes, and we moved all those mailboxes to the cloud. Since they're all linked with the AD credentials, we needed something a lot more secure. We moved 800 mailboxes to the cloud, and Singularity Identity helped us with that transition. We never had a product like Singularity Identity just to monitor AD. I would tell users to book a demo first. Then, if they do decide to implement SentinelOne Singularity Identity, they should work with support or even their vendor support for the network firewall. We had to set up a lot of exclusions on our firewall and even Windows firewalls on our AD server to ensure we weren't blocking any network traffic when a rule was added or deleted. My advice to users would be to ensure they are careful with the network firewalls when deciding to move forward with implementation. Singularity's console provides a unified view, which works very well. We're able to monitor all of the different areas in our infrastructure. We even have the ability to run reports where we're in touch with support and our trainers from SentinelOne. They ensure that we know how to use the product and show us how to make our infrastructure more visible. This unified view is very important for our organization. We widened the net for compromised devices to include managed and unmanaged devices. Even if our server runs a different OS, we can get a lot of actionable information related to that asset. If I have a couple of MacBooks, it doesn't really matter what the OS is. I can store that information in Sentinel. The solution really allows us to have more functionality with an active directory. SentinelOne Singularity Identity is doing a good job of protecting identities from exploitation. Identity-based threats are one of the biggest weaknesses of malicious attacks. We get a lot of spam emails, and at the end of the day, they're just trying to get AD credentials. SentinelOne Singularity Identity really helps improve our identity security posture. We're able to provide the team and even the managers and IT director here with real-time alerting and deception capabilities. We really trust SentinelOne Singularity Identity. We're really happy with Singularity Identity's ability to provide visibility into our attack surface risk. The amount of information the solution allows us to get and the real-time alerts are really helpful. Singularity Identity helped reduce our mean time to detect identity-based attacks. We have reduced the time we take to jump into servers and then run reports on our own because we've got the dashboard on a monitor in our office. We have real-time alerts right on the monitor. Anytime we see a red alert, we're on top of it. It makes monitoring a lot easier. I would tell someone researching SentinelOne Singularity Identity that they need to do a demo with SentinelOne. There, they will be able to see the solution's pros and cons. They can see for themselves how it's a much more effective tool than Windows Defender. If they book a demo, they will be convinced to get hold of a SentinelOne agent to look at some cost agreements and implementation. The bottom line is that SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the best anti-malware. It is a lot better than Microsoft Defender, and they would be convinced after a demo. Overall, I rate SentinelOne Singularity Identity an eight out of ten.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Identity a nine out of ten. We have an E5 license and Defender works well with Microsoft SIMs but SentinelOne is superior in detecting threats, especially zero-day threats. Organizations should ensure they have staff that can support the solution before implementing it.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Identity a 9 /10. SentinelOne Singularity Identity can easily work alongside other security products, in my experience, including Microsoft Defender. for anyne considering this as a solution, I would suggest conducting your own further research on alternative products to firmly establish whether or not SentinelOne Singularity Identity is indeed the appropriate product. In my view, the licensing model is geared more towards medium operations like ours, which have around two hundred endpoints, on up to large scale enterprise-sized companies. The licensing structured minimum of 200 endpoints may be a bit much for a small company with just a few endpoints. But, I in summary, I am happy with the choice to buy this product, and as our company grows SentinelOne will allow for that growth.
