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.

Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations

The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

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

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."

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

"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"SentinelOne has helped us to improve our security by fine-tuning our current use cases and creating new ones."

"The deep visibility is really important for us. With it, we can really look deep into some of the incidents."

"It seamlessly integrates with other solutions, providing a high level of compatibility and effectiveness."

"One of the features that convinced us to adopt SentinelOne was that the solution can recognize and respond to attacks with or without a network connection. That is very important."

"In terms of the engines that SentinelOne uses, it has stopped various scripts from running and it's highlighted lateral movement that we weren't expecting."

"Unlike other endpoint solutions like Kaspersky or Trend Micro, SentinelOne's agents are exceptionally lightweight, updating seamlessly without consuming significant network or system resources."

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

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."

Cons

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."

"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."

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

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The only concern we have is that there are a few features that were not readily available."

"Sometimes, support can be lacking. We would like to have more interactive sessions, which are not currently available."

"The solution could improve its notifications and communications."

"The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors."

"It would be good to see some small tools to test files or hashes that are a potential threat, I know there are already products offering this."

"When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools."

"Technical support from SentinelOne is somewhat dependent on the engineer you are assigned. Some TAC cases are solved in a good time, but some cases faced challenges because the engineer was not competent or was not able to understand the issue or take it to its logical conclusion."

"Security could always be better."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."

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."

"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."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

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

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

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

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"It is expensive. There is no doubt about it. If one of the functions does not work, it becomes very difficult for any CIO to justify the cost."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."

"The pricing model is simple."

"SentinelOne's pricing could be lower."

"It's around $8 per client per month."

"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."

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

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"It’s a single license platform."
