Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle
Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.
Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response
Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"The XDR capability is quite good."
"We went from 30% ransom ware infections to zero."
"Singularity Endpoint has completed my security solutions; during the six pillars of zero trust architecture, I can implement all pillars—identity, application, endpoints, infrastructure, network, and cloud—through the Singularity platform."
"In general, the solution helps to save time and free up staff for other projects and tasks, freeing up approximately 15% of staff time and reducing mean time to detect by approximately 10% and mean time to respond by approximately 20%."
"The platform's ability to easily integrate with various other platforms is highly valuable."
"It's an easy tool and it offers a different experience."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has helped to consolidate our security solutions and has acted promptly on attempted attacks, such as worms, some Trojans, and many spyware, blocking everything."
"We have a preference for their receptor; it's good at finding many EFC files, and normally EFC files could have a virus, but we need to exclude some of them."
 

Cons

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"Limited remote connection."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Since adopting SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, I have seen a mixed bag of measurable results. SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint tends to block workstations at the slightest doubt, so it needs to be fine-tuned to be a bit more tolerant."
"They can just continue adding more integrations with these big brands and software security products."
"On the negative side, I find that SentinelOne is expensive compared to some other options like Orca Security, which is cheaper."
"I would like to improve the reports because they are not so customizable and we would like more info from them."
"They need to improve how we install the software."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint can be improved in some areas."
"The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but, there's nothing much else to do. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"The price of Singularity Complete compared to some of its competitors is competitive."
"We have not been beaten in the market by pricing, so we have been feeling good about that. The discussions we have had over the years keep us at a very low price per unit. It can always get better, but we also know there is a cost to the backend."
"I believe the retail pricing, or MSRP, is a bit high."
"SentinelOne can cost approximately $70 per device."
"I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair."
"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
"The cost of endpoint protection is fairly reasonable."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
