ABHISHEK_SINGH

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.

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

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"It is easy to use."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"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."

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"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 - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] has positively impacted our organization because we were able to test and implement changes confidently, knowing that if something goes wrong, we can roll back the changes."

"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."

"If you have the budget, this is a top-notch solution."

"The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment."

"The strength of SentinelOne is that it has an automated, active EDR. It does that first level of what a SOC analyst would do, automatically, using artificial intelligence, so we can focus on other things. Active EDR not only notifies you, but it actually fixes that first level. That is unheard of. Very few, if any, companies do that."

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

"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."

"Singularity has the same features as other antivirus products, but it provides an added layer of security and vulnerability protection. It's also light on resources. Singularity doesn't use a lot of CPU or memory."

"The best part of the agent is that users can't remove or disable it, so endpoints will be safe. I can control it from the portal. I can see when it's updated and I can push updates from the portal. The greatness of SentinelOne is that our end-users don't see anything to do with the agents. Some of them don't even know it's on their laptops. And that's a good thing."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete reduces my mean time to respond and protects my environment, thereby reducing the workload of my engineers and security analysts by at least thirty-five percent."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."

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

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

"The restore feed needs improvement."

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

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

"Deployment complexity is higher in Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL], and the user interface could be improved significantly."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"One of the things they could do is extend the product range to include Android and iPhone so that you could have the app on your phone as well. There is probably something going on there with that, but that's something that they're lacking at the moment. For instance, if I was to have to recommend a client to protect their phone, I'd have to recommend Norton or something else. I don't have an answer within the SentinelOne solution."

"When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools."

"The stability is just okay."

"The solution does not have an application security and control module."

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

"One of the areas which would benefit from being improved is the policies. There are still software programs where we need to manually program in the policies to tell the system, "This program is legitimate." Some level of AI-based automation in creating those policies would go a long way in improving the amount of time it takes to deploy the system."

"Security could always be better."

"Managing the false positives creates additional management overhead."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"The price was fine."

"This is an expensive solution."

"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."

"Very costly product."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"It is an expensive solution."

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

"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."

"When we were checking out different platforms, we did get a price from Microsoft, and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money."

"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."

"The pricing of SentinelOne is less than McAfee."

"The pricing model is simple."

"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 can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."

"The pricing is very reasonable."
