Featured Reviews

Jörg Köhler - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at AvalisNT AG
Efficient email security and link scanning streamline network protection
One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI. It is not intuitive to manage policies as I have to go through several pages to find necessary information. Additionally, the profile management for scanning and protection profiles is clumsy and could be more straightforward. There should be some simplification in changing profiles due to performance issues.

Managing Director at MaDaTec GmbH
Provides innovative security features and accurate real-time threat management
From my reseller and partner perspective, the best features in the products are easy deployment, really small size installation, and an update process. It is a Gartner leader, so there is a lot of innovation in it. Regarding real-time monitoring features, it is absolutely accurate and automatically handled in most cases if configured correctly. I am actually able to synthesize machine learning with human experience to manage complex threats in IRs. This is included as part of the back-office strategy that they run through an AI process. I assess the importance of having 24/7 security coverage provided by SentinelOne Vigilance to be highly needed. As a customer, I have seen benefits from using it, and I can assure that it is 100% protected against many threats, and it is always in the actual state. I have observed improvements in Incident Response speeds since integrating SentinelOne Vigilance, as there are far more incidents automatically detected and cleared than before.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We find it extremely effective. We probably have over 500 endpoints, and we have not had any reports of viruses since we have installed it. It is very reliable."
"The most valuable features include email security and web URL scanning, particularly the link scanning aspect."
"I like the EDR feature."
"If you're looking at an enterprise with centralized control, you can actually push the policies to all your clients' endpoints easily across VPNs."
"It's easy to use."
"Bitdefender MDR's integration capabilities have been smooth, leveraging cloud-based and various threat intelligence feeds. Bitdefender's array of technologies, including remote mapping and machine learning, with numerous patents, ensures effective threat management."
"Customer service and support are very good."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I would rate SentinelOne's customer service and support a five out of five."
"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The product is stable."
"The endpoint security software is great."
"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."
"SentinelOne has a rollback feature that has helped them gain popularity in the market. No other competitors of the solution including Cisco, Fortinet, or Cortex XDR have this feature. SentinelOne is a kernel-independent solution. We don’t need to check the kernel dependency on the Linux platform. They also commit to a 100 percent recovery from ransomware attacks. The solution has rollback features for ransomware on Windows."
 

Cons

"They can improve their support a little bit. We've had some issues with some of the installations in terms of getting the installation, configuration, and flows correct, and sometimes, their support is not as simple and easy to deal with as we'd like."
"Bitdefender needs to probably position this product and create more awareness among people because a lot of companies use products like CrowdStrike, which is doing pretty well."
"For improvements, focusing on the commercial viability of markets like India could make it more accessible. The pricing structure, especially for price-sensitive markets like those in Asian countries."
"One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI. It is not intuitive to manage policies as I have to go through several pages to find necessary information."
"The lack of integration with Microsoft Outlook is a significant drawback."
"Bitdefender MDR consumes too many resources during scanning which further affects developers' productivity."
"One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI."
"They're doing a really good job. The throughput and the response time can always be better, but there's already a solution out there. It depends on how much and what tier you want to be a part of. The way they're designed is that if you pay for it, you can have a turnaround time in a very short amount of time. If you don't pay for it, your response time is going to be a little bit less. That can always be improved, no matter what tier you're on. It could be in terms of tech support, or it could also be things like getting the reports and getting the summary back from the labs. When something is detected, what did it all entail? There are a lot of those things. It's not all in one, but all of those are different branches."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"My customers who use the tool mostly want a summary of the monitoring activities of the product in a report form...t can be useful for our customers to identify the threats and incidents encountered by the product."
"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."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
"SentinelOne Vigilance could improve if it provided us with more control over the dashboard."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"I have found issues with the solution’s stability and implementation. The solution has performance issues. I would like the solution to launch the rollback plan for ransomware on Linux and Mac. It should be something similar to the support that Windows gets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know it is based on the volume and size and also on different multi-year agreements. There are different discounts applied, but I can't really speak about the specifics."
"As far as pricing is concerned, I would rate them not expensive, not cheap."
"Bitdefender fit well for customers with about 50 to 200 users. The price point is great, and you get a lot of bang for your buck."
"It varies based on the number of licenses."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
