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.

Head of Network and Server infrastructure department at JSC Alfa Bank Ukraine

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.

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"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."

"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

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

"It is a stable solution."

"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."

"Technical support is excellent."

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

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

"I think that is where SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint stands out; they are doing quite great there, and at the same time, the Purple AI feature is much better."

"For now, I think this is the best ADR in my opinion, so I am happy to use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint every day in my job."

"The solution's in-place upgrades have been very helpful."

"At this point, SentinelOne Singularity Complete delivers everything it promises to do."

"The XDR is a valuable feature."

"It is priced by endpoint device, making it one of the well-priced solutions, as it is not too expensive and is a very good enterprise solution."

"It identifies what applications are vulnerable. If I go to the applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Reader, I can see our current list of vulnerabilities: How many are vulnerable and how many need to be updated with patching. One of the most valuable aspects is the ease of finding specific vulnerabilities."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has positively impacted my company by being hassle-free, providing good ROI, giving the best security with its rollback feature, offering extensive integration with other solutions, and using such a lightweight agent that it does not cause any system slowness."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"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."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"The restore feed needs improvement."

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

"They should train their own people so that they can train us better. The theory is good."

"The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."

"On the negative side, I find that SentinelOne is expensive compared to some other options like Orca Security, which is cheaper."

"The role-based access is in dire need of improvement. We actually discussed this on a roadmap call and were informed that it was coming, but then it was delayed. It limits the roles that you can have in the platform, and we require several custom roles. We work with a lot of third-parties whom we rely on for some of our IT services. Part of those are an external SOC function where they are over-provisioned in the solution because there isn't anything relevant for the level of work that they do."

"We'd like SentinelOne to upgrade automatically. It doesn't automatically update the agent if some system has an older version of the SentinelOne. It has to be triggered from the console."

"If it had a little bit more granularity in the roles and responsibilities matrix, that would help. There are users that have different components, but I'd be much happier if I could cherry-pick what functions I want to give to which users. That would be a huge benefit."

"Improvements for SentinelOne's Singularity Complete could include adjusting pricing for specific markets, ensuring affordability, and better alignment with customer expectations in those regions."

"SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"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.
