ROI

Sentiment score
7.4
CrowdStrike Falcon boosts efficiency and cost savings while enhancing security and performance without increasing system slowdown.
Sentiment score
7.5
SentinelOne Singularity Complete reduced incident response time and costs, improving ROI with advanced features and central management.
Since then, I have not faced any intrusions, which is one reason I chose SentinelOne over ESET.
We have not faced any attacks since we implemented it.
It has absolutely helped reduce our organizational risk.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
CrowdStrike Falcon’s support is praised for responsiveness, but some report slow responses and inconsistency, especially on weekends.
Sentiment score
7.3
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for effective, fast support, though some desire more phone and interactive assistance.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the technical support as a 10 because they resolve many issues for us.
The CrowdStrike team is very efficient; I would rate them ten out of ten.
They do a great job of figuring out the problem and pointing you to generic documentation or working with you to fine-tune a solution.
We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.
A chat service would be beneficial.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability and cloud-based architecture support rapid deployment and seamless expansion for diverse business security needs.
Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is versatile, seamlessly expanding across platforms, integrating easily, but faces issues when scaling down.
It has adequate coverage and is easy to deploy.
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
When it comes to scalability, it is entirely based on premium models according to demand.
It's all auto-scale and auto-categorized, configuring automatically.
The tool's built-in automation for deploying the agents works well for large infrastructures like mine.
My deployment is relatively small, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete works within those constraints.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
CrowdStrike Falcon offers stable, reliable performance across environments, managing endpoints effectively despite minor update challenges and connectivity issues.
Sentiment score
7.9
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable, reliable, with minor connectivity issues during updates; users appreciate its performance and stability.
I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
I find CrowdStrike to be stable; there are no issues, although there was one instance when we had an outage for updating the Falcon Agent.
It has caused problems with interoperability between third-party tools, which could lead to entire servers crashing or specific tools failing.
This indicates room for improvement in stability when interacting with other solutions.
Initially, there were issues, particularly on the management side, but now the console is much more stable.
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon users seek better third-party integration, intuitive UI, threat detection, support, pricing, and forensic tools.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs UI refinement, better automation, flexible policies, reduced resource use, and improved pricing and support.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
The only thing that prevented the attack from succeeding was a free version of Malwarebytes.
Providing a single pane of visibility for the end user would be beneficial.
It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level.
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon provides robust security at premium pricing, with flexible licensing but may be costly for some businesses.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is seen as cost-effective by some but pricey compared to traditional antivirus solutions, yet feature-rich.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
If you want protection, you have to pay the price.
They counted many of the instances and licenses as duplicates despite them only being alive once, which was frustrating.
It’s cheaper than other competitors.
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon provides advanced, efficient threat protection with AI capabilities, ease of management, and comprehensive detection and prevention features.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers robust, AI-driven security and seamless integration, enhancing performance and protection for enterprises.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature.
I have an advanced app providing visibility of all my endpoints, which was not the case before.
SentinelOne has a feature to decommission automatically, which has been fantastic.
There's also automation that gives my team free time, preventing them from having to look for every alert.

Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
It integrates well with other platforms, is user-friendly, and is stable
SentinelOne Singularity Complete integrates with our other security solutions, correlating data from NDR, ADR, SIEM, and XDR tools. All this information is consolidated within SentinelOne, providing a centralized access point. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us streamline our security operations by consolidating multiple solutions into a single platform. We are currently in the process of acquiring a threat intelligence platform to complete our security stack. We use Ranger to monitor our network and track connected devices. This is crucial because it helps us quickly identify unauthorized machines connected to our infrastructure, including personal devices. We have additional security measures in place, but Ranger provides an extra layer of protection. It also alerts us if the SentinelOne Singularity Complete agent is missing from any new or existing machines, allowing us to take appropriate action. SentinelOne Ranger's agentless and hardware-independent nature is crucial for our environment with 26,000 endpoints, as manual management of such a large number would be extremely challenging. Ranger uses a multi-layered approach to prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We employ scanners, network configurations, and a risk scanner to assess devices, endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructures. Vulnerability reports and timelines for remediation are shared with device owners or custodians. This proactive strategy enables us to address vulnerabilities efficiently and secure our infrastructure. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has significantly enhanced our security posture. While no system is impenetrable, this solution has brought us closer to achieving a high level of protection, ensuring we maintain at least a 90 percent security level. Our team is dedicated to refining alerts and eliminating false positives from our solutions. Additionally, a team is responsible for identifying and excluding alerts from the solution. We can manually expedite this process by reviewing these elements and utilizing our security tools. We have been able to reduce the alert volume by 20 percent. Our 30-member Security Operations Center team has been able to redirect their focus to other tasks due to the time saved after implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us improve our mean time to detect threats, which we accomplish using the Vigilance service for detection and response. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us decrease our organizational risk. We utilize the Security Scorecard to manage our security posture, which has remained steady at 90 percent.

You should do a test with both solutions for your client. Technically both solutions should perform very well but no one can tell which platform is more "you". That said, the main difference is Overwatch where security staff from CrowdStrike does some threat hunting on your tenant (and that is pricey because there are actual persons doing something for you). S1 does that kind of work only in th...
