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.

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe

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

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The ease of deployment has been good."

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect."

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."

"The ability to get queries by pressing the "tab" button is a plus for SentinelOne."

"The deep visibility is really important for us. With it, we can really look deep into some of the incidents."

"The protection and management provided by SentinelOne is good."

"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne is the good graph it provides. It has a specific page where it detects the recent attacks on other machines or the hackers, for example, group APT28 and all."

"It's an easy tool and it offers a different experience."

"It is purely cloud-based, meaning you don't need to have something installed, such as a server on-prem. You have cloud management and can access it from anywhere, with integration with SSO, with one click. It's also very lightweight."

"It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting."

"SentinelOne is preferred because of its great features and nominal cost."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"Product might have some bugs."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."

"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs more connectors for integration with more solutions."

"I really haven't done enough to really see any improvements."

"There is room for improvement with the management interface. It could be more user friendly."

"Sometimes, SentinelOne Singularity Complete takes time to reflect on some machines, which could be due to poor network connectivity."

"Also, it didn't have much incident management built in."

"SentinelOne can improve by having better integration with Active Directory."

"I would like to see the reports from SentinelOne more customizable, as there are very few options."

"Something we are looking forward to is the ability of the SentinelOne backend to ingest data from other sources. Now that they are moving to the Singularity data lake, we are looking forward to being able to query data that is not just collected by SentinelOne endpoint agents. We are looking forward to being able to query against all data that we are ingesting into that backend."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the Community edition."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"This is an expensive solution."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is fairly priced."

"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."

"The price is costly compared to what we were previously paying with Microsoft Defender and McAfee."

"While SentinelOne Singularity Complete carries a higher price tag than some endpoint security solutions, customers find its robust features and return on investment justify the cost."

"SentinelOne makes licensing easy by reducing the number of modules or packages that they have to offer. A lot of other vendors make licensing very complicated with separate modules or separate costs. By bundling necessary features, SentinelOne ensures that security leaders are not left confused by options. This bundling of necessities has served our needs well."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection."

"We pay $30,000 a year for 275 endpoints. We're growing, so I plan to buy another 75 endpoints. There is still a year and a half left in my three-year subscription, so I'm going to increase my endpoint count by 30 percent."

"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
