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.

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.

Centralized security console has unified threat telemetry and automated investigation playbooks
The CPU utilization is very high with Trellix XDR. We are getting multiple types of CPU utilization from the EPP solution, with the EPP agent reaching as high as 80 percent CPU utilization. This creates big challenges for us. The support experience is also concerning. When we require support from Trellix immediately with high priority, we receive multiple emails requesting logs of various types. After that, we have to escalate to Trellix higher management, and then their agent will come in for a remote session to resolve any issues. I would give them eight out of ten points because of the high CPU utilization and the delayed support we experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."
"Their platform is really easy to work with."
"The solution offers very rich details surrounding threats or attacks."
"We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer."
"SentinelOne is preferred because of its great features and nominal cost."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the Deep Visibility. It gives you the ability to search all actions that were taken on a specific machine, like writing register keys, executing software, opening, reading, and writing files. All that stuff is available from the SentinelOne console. I'm able to see which software is permanent on a machine, and how that happened, whether by registry keys or writing it to a special folder on the machine."
"Previously, we had some processes related to incident response which required more steps. We needed to upload to VirusTotal, Sandbox, et cetera. Now, this process is shortened because all of the information we need is already in SentinelOne. We can briefly analyze and even respond from one management console. If someone has SOC, using the API, they can control everything. It's very cool. I think this is the future."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"Because Trellix gives us multiple types of modules, we are using a single ePO console for multiple solutions including application control, DLP, and XDR."
 

Cons

"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."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but, there's nothing much else to do. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."
"There is not much focus on the on-premise solution as the license cap is so huge for small and medium-sized institutions."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but there's nothing much else to do."
"For ingestion and correlation across security solutions, the agent is quite heavier when compared to other competition."
"If there is a vulnerability that we know about, I search for that vulnerability—for example, Adobe. There are different versions of Adobe, but I'm not able to compile them into one report. I have to create separate reports for those versions."
"As a cloud-based product, there is a minimum number of licenses that need to be purchased, which is unfortunate."
"The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console."
"The process of uninstalling and reinstalling older agent updates needs improvement."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
"The CPU utilization is very high with Trellix XDR; we are getting multiple types of CPU utilization from the EPP solution, with the EPP agent reaching as high as 80 percent CPU utilization, which creates big challenges for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The price was fine."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Very costly product."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"We pay $30,000 a year for 275 endpoints. We're growing, so I plan to buy another 75 endpoints. There is still a year and a half left in my three-year subscription, so I'm going to increase my endpoint count by 30 percent."
"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."
"I rate Singularity Complete four out of 10 for affordability. SentinelOne costs more than traditional antivirus solutions, but we get more out of it. It hasn't saved us any money, but it's an EDR solution, so we get a lot of value from it."
"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
