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.

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

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The most valuable feature is that it does what it says it will do. It fulfills its claims. It’s not really common for products to do that today."
"Another valuable feature is that if a machine is infected, one that may infect other computers within the network, we have the capability of segregating that machine in the network so that it remains connected to the internet but is cut off from the other machines in the network. That helps prevent spreading of the infection. That's a very unique feature, one I have not seen in the last 10 to 15 years from any other antivirus program. That's amazing."
"While the cost of SentinelOne is higher than Webroot, the reality is that the peace of mind and the knowledge that you are probably not going to get a complete attack, simply because SentinelOne stepped in and stopped it, is worth every penny."
"The XDR is a valuable feature."
"For endpoint security, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is the best option."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to drill down into individual sequences of processes."
"The most valuable aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Complete are the ease of deployment with the Sentinel Agent and the enhanced visibility with Skylight, which provides correlation of logs and all endpoint data in a centralized location."
"The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen."
 

Cons

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"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."
"Prior to the purchase and recent changes, experiences with SentinelOne's support and product were not positive."
"In terms of improvement, the documentation could be better. I would also like to see SingularityOne compatibility with Huntress, and the tighter integration between them would bring more to the table."
"We did use the Ranger functionality. However, there was some scanning going on and it caused a lot of noise, so we had to disable it."
"We have had one or two occasions when we had to roll back off our Windows machine. Then, we had an issue with SentinelOne where we couldn't let the client make contact with the cloud service anymore. Therefore, the integration with the Windows Service Recovery could be improved in the future."
"The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents."
"Their documentation could afford to be a little bit better communicated. A lot of times we have to look at things in the knowledge base, and much of that could be communicated better, but that would probably be the only thing that needs to be improved."
"The inventory is a good feature. However, it's not up to date."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to see better alerting to let us know if there is anything wrong with SentinelOne working on the endpoint of the computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was fine."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"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."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"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."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"Overall, it was a good experience. It is pretty easy for us to increase the number."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete's price point is excessive compared to the functionality it provides."
"The cost of endpoint protection is fairly reasonable."
"Its price can be lower because I'm seeing competition from another vendor who beats it on commercials."
"After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection."
"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
