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.

Technical Lead at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Simplified detection rules and SOAR workflows have improved compliance-focused operations

One improvement I am looking for is silent log source monitoring. If some feed or some host went offline or was not pulling any logs into Google Security Operations, I would want better visibility. Silent host monitoring would make a significant difference because it is very hard to track which host went down, and there are many false positives as a result. I think there is a lot of room for scalability improvements, particularly in the integration of third-party applications. Currently, I have to write a script and use a cloud run function to pull logs. If there were direct ingestion by simply providing an API key and some sort of client certificate, it would be much easier.

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

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

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

"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

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

"It is a simple platform to use."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The playbooks feature in Siemplify is crucial for automation. We've utilized both standard and custom integrations with other security operation solutions, enhancing our flexibility. The user interface is generally straightforward, although recent changes may require some adjustment and Siemplify's integrations and capabilities offer potential support for various compliance requirements."

"Overall, Google SecOps is a very useful service for security operations."

"The valuable parts of Google Security Operations include how easy it is to write parsers or detection rules, and it is well-advanced in the analytical part."

"Google SecOps is extremely useful for threat detection and hunting."

"The most valuable feature of Siemplify is the playbooks that can be created."

"Google Security Operations helps meet all the important regulatory compliance across all verticals."

"Without hyperbole, I have never, in my entire career, encountered a vendor or a vendor community as awesome as Siemplify. Siemplify and the Siemplify Community quite literally made it possible for our SOC to increase almost five-fold in our number of clients and number of analysts and to go from a Monday to Friday 9-5 shop to a 24/7 shop all in the span of under a year and a half and all while continually adding capabilities and improving the services we offer to our clients."

"Now that we have SentinelOne, we cannot go without it."

"The best aspect of SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is its integration with AI, which provides initial analysis of alerts, gives an overview of what the alert or threat is about, and provides insight into what is happening."

"Once it fully adapts to the environment, customers don't even need to monitor their endpoint protection landscape, as it can automatically learn and mitigate any threats or problems with minimal human interaction."

"The most valuable feature of Singularity Complete is the Ranger function."

"The autonomous platform is valuable because we can separate false positives and negatives."

"This feature is fantastic because it remediates issues while maintaining a clear audit trail, which is great for compliance."

"The product can scale."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization through the ease of use of the tool and the protection that it provides."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Building the playbooks could be easier and the integration could improve. It is a difficult process, such as what API connections need to be made."

"I'm inclined to say that I'd love to see some Machine Learning capabilities integrated into the platform, however, I just attended a demo this morning where Siemplify gave a sneak peek into some Machine Learning capabilities that they are currently developing and have roadmapped for release soon."

"The main improvement could be in the accuracy and detail provided in threat descriptions."

"I can give customer service a rating of six because it is very hard sometimes to keep up with the support."

"We often encounter minor issues that could be improved, but we maintain communication with the developers and submit feature requests. Recently, I requested enhancements such as improved search functionality within playbooks and expanded options for exporting case data."

"The ability to have more direct purchasing for smaller groups and smaller businesses would be great."

"Every site has its own key. I'm not sure how I can implement the key for the setup package, therefore with every installation I need to do it manually and put on the site keys."

"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."

"SentinelOne could improve by reducing the price."

"For ingestion and correlation across security solutions, the agent is quite heavier when compared to other competition."

"The overall integration functionality for this solution could be improved."

"I've had some issues with the specific agents, however, we are moving off of that particular OS that we were having issues with. Other than that, it's been a pretty solid tool."

"The previous vendor had a lot more features and capabilities under the license. For example, I lost DLP as Sentinel One does not have DLP."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"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."

"I am using the Community edition."

"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."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is competitive."

"It is not sold as a consumer product. It is only sold based on the number of licenses. So, as an MSP, you're probably going to pay about three and a half dollars per license, per month to have SentinelOne."

"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."

"The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly."

"We are on a subscription model by choice. Therefore, we are paying a premium for the flexibility. We would have huge cost savings if we committed to a three-year buy-in. So, it's more expensive than the other solutions that we were looking at, but we have the flexibility of a subscription model. I think the pricing is fair. For example, if we had a three-year tie-in SentinelOne versus Cylance or one of the others, there is not that much difference in pricing. There might be a few euro or dollars here and there, but it's negligible."

"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."

"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."

"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."
