Shows network traffic and anomalies but needs to integrate deep analytics
The tool shows me network traffic and its anomalies.  Cisco MDR needs to incorporate machine learning and deep analytics.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I would rate Cisco MDR's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has 700-10,000 users for the product.  Cisco…

Presales Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed
I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool shows network traffic and its anomalies."
"The initial setup process was straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is protection against ransomware and malware."
"The most valuable feature is that it works and is reliable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance, which is very important for us in our company."
"I would rate SentinelOne's customer service and support a five out of five."
"The most valuable functions are automated pricing and ensuring the console is clean."
 

Cons

"Cisco MDR needs to incorporate machine learning and deep analytics."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook."
"There's no problem with how this product works, but the toughest challenge that customers find is with its deployment and tuning. Getting it tuned properly takes some time. You can deploy it with just about anything, but it's always a challenge."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"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 solution's memory forensics capabilities and hard disk capacities are quite basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high and I would rate it a four 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."
"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 licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"I give the cost a three 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."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
