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.

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

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

"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."

"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"The stability of this product is very good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"Low performance requirements."

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"Auto-Remediation"

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The threat detection and prevention capabilities are valuable, providing development programming support that enables us to perform fair investigations."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has behavior-based AI that detects alerts that are not predefined without relying on predefined rules, detecting zero-day attacks or any behavioral changes in the baseline of the user or any suspicious anomalies through AI-based threat detection only."

"The management dashboard is the most valuable feature."

"SentinelOne also provides equal protection across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I have all of them and every flavor of them you could possibly imagine. They've done a great job because I still have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support. It can support legacy environments as well as newer environments, including all the latest OS's... There are cost savings not only on licensing but because I don't have to have different people managing different consoles."

"Our organizational risk has been reduced."

"Overall, it's effectiveness is 100 percent because we don't see many outbreaks anymore."

"We find the solution to be scalable."

"The solution is stable and reliable, catches a lot of malicious and suspicious threats, and there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"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."

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the best EDR in the market, but it will evolve, though I have concerns about using US partners in Europe due to the geopolitical context. It is better to work with European companies."

"The solution needs better reporting on new threats and malware. The reporting is present, but I can't find the information easily."

"Since SentinelOne Hologram was an Attivo Networks product acquired by Microsoft, I have to install a different agent on endpoints for that product. It would be better if the same SentinelOne agent could be used for both the EDR and deception technology."

"One area that has room for improvement in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is the inability to create a custom dashboard."

"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."

"Deployment strategy for large organizations that do not use active directory (AD)."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

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

"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 tool's price is moderate."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"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."

"It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most."

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

"The pricing was very similar in terms of its competitors, but I believe SentinelOne's capability and willingness to attract new business allowed us to save some extra money."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."

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

"The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike."

"While the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Complete might seem high at first glance, it's important to consider the value it offers."
