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.

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.

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."

"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."

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."

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

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"When an issue occurs, the response time for first-level support and the time taken for meetings could be improved."

"I believe Sangfor Endpoint Secure could improve in terms of its user interface and management capabilities."

"It is complicated to establish a tunnel due to technical issues in the VPN system."

More Sangfor Endpoint Secure cons

"One area for improvement is automated deployment. I use it through a group policy. I put in the PC name, and when the user logs in, if the PC is in that group, it attempts an MSI install through Active Directory via GPO. That seems to play a little havoc and can conflict with manual installs, causing issues where it wants to delete and reinstall the client."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs more connectors for integration with more solutions."

"There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful."

"SentinelOne makes it more difficult to define users. It is more granular than CrowdStrike, but it is not preferred because you have to check hundreds of roles."

"In terms of improvement, they should work on agents' updates because that is not a strong part. It's not their strong point. It's not straightforward to upgrade agents. I send them questions about it. They already worked on this and they promised that in the next release that they will show me their solution for it. But this year I have had complaints about agents' updates, that they aren't clear."

"There are features that I would like them to add. They have little to do with endpoint protection, but if they could add encryption and DLP on, it would make it even better."

"It is complicated to do certain tasks."

"We have had some stability issues with SentinelOne due to Windows 10 feature updates; it should be more stable."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
