Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 3, 2026

SentinelOne Singularity Complete and Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] are popular in the cybersecurity market. SentinelOne has an edge due to its advanced AI-driven features and flexible pricing.

Features: SentinelOne excels with its real-time threat detection, centralized dashboard, and AI-powered behavior detection. It offers autonomous threat management with a lightweight agent. Dell Data Protection focuses on robust data encryption, extensive control features, and policy enforcement, appealing for data integrity and compliance needs.

Room for Improvement: SentinelOne could enhance its integration with other security tools and reduce false positives. Its rollback feature, while beneficial, might need refinement. Better user education about AI capabilities could help users fully utilize the platform. Dell, being [EOL], lacks updates, which affects support and security efficacy. It could benefit from improved automation features and a more modern interface to enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SentinelOne's cloud-based setup streamlines deployment and supports a fast response to technical issues. The platform is user-friendly, with customizable dashboards. Dell provided an on-premises setup, which was less efficient, with a slower customer service response, requiring more manual oversight.

Pricing and ROI: SentinelOne offers scalable pricing tiers, allowing businesses flexibility in choosing plans that fit their budgets, ensuring a better ROI. Dell, though providing strong security, required a higher upfront investment with less flexibility in cost management. The cost efficiency of SentinelOne makes it a preferred choice for varied organizational needs.

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.

A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system

The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

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

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."

"It is a stable solution."

"Technical support is excellent."

"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."

"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."

"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."

"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."

"All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us."

"It is a robust solution. It provides great visibility."

"It protects your machine, and it does an excellent job using AI to determine an attack and stop the attack. Its most powerful feature is prevention, and it can unwind ransomware activity as well. So, it is a really useful product in that sense."

"We have absolutely seen a return on our investment because it has created that first-level SOC, replaced McAfee and other tools, and they keep adding features that further increase the value we get."

"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 is user-friendly, easy to administer, and aligns well with GDPR requirements, which is crucial for us."

"Singularity Complete helped free up my staff for other projects and tasks by saving the costs of two employees after implementing this solution."

"The most valuable features are forensic investigation and ransomware prevention."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The restore feed needs improvement."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."

"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."

"There should be more integration models with different security operations tools or soft tools."

"The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors."

"When sending out new updates, you have to figure out which one is the right one, so it would be easier if they committed to that, because when you're sitting out updates, there are different names and something different, making it tricky to figure out which one is compatible with your program or company."

"In my opinion, the real-time monitoring capabilities in Singularity Platform sometimes work and sometimes they don't, because there are a lot of false positives and people use unsigned applications which get deleted or quarantined by the product."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint would benefit from broader security ecosystem integration, including deeper native integrations across identity access and other security domains, which would make it more competitive with larger security platforms."

"However, for complex cases—especially agent-related problems—we sometimes need remote assistance, and that level of support is not included in the basic subscription."

"I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

"Everything is now offered as a service, so the console and the licensing model can be improved to make things easier, especially when updating new versions of the software."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"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."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."

"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."

"You have to look at the kinds of problems you can end up with and the fact that you want security against them, and then SentinelOne is not expensive."

"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."

"Overall, it was a good experience. It is pretty easy for us to increase the number."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos."

"It is very competitive with other solutions that are on the market. At least the last time we renewed, it was very competitive."
