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.

Easy to upgrade and manage but needs better reporting

There just was a lot about it that I didn't like. For blocking certain items, such as USBs, we felt like it was slowing down the network too much. Therefore we utilized a GPO for blocking things like that instead. Our environment was big and I didn't feel like the console did a good enough job. We outgrew the product. I've been asking for a change for a couple of years now, and it finally got approved. In terms of the console, I had over 2000 endpoints in there and there wasn't even a search feature for me to look through them. If I had to find where a policy was I had to sort in alphabetical order to find an endpoint that I wanted. They need to offer a search function within the console - maybe something that shows a "last connected" notice. That way, it's easier to manage obsolete machines that you don't need anymore. They had a very vague setting, like after so many days, when do you want us to remove these, you'd see them. I just wish the console was a little more responsive when I would do commands. The reports could have been better. The product would show a lot of endpoints as not communicating. That was another pain point. We constantly had to run an SQL query to clean up the database as I would know immediately when I was in the console, that it just wasn't being responsive. I could tell I was being given bad data and that we had to clean up the database. As soon as I would clean up that database, it was like a purging of the SQL database and it would become a lot more responsive. The problem was that our environment was too big. We're going through a growth spurt right now. In the end, the solution is small and much better suited for a small business. We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for. The product is based on an older model of signature files. It doesn't use any artificial intelligence or anything. It was slow to refresh the policies and computer scans. The larger we got, the more it became an issue. If a company stayed small, I'm not sure if they would have noticed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."

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

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It has good visibility features and it's straightforward."

"One of the nicest things about SentinelOne is their support; I never met a company which gives such fast, great support."

"The solution is overall very good in terms of protecting endpoints and servers from malicious activities, malware, cyber attacks, viruses, worms, and so on."

"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."

"The initial setup is very straightforward and easy."

"Singularity Complete helped free up my staff for other projects and tasks by saving the costs of two employees after implementing this solution."

"My experience working with SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has been fantastic."

"SentinelOne gives us visibility into various high-level vulnerabilities on every gateway on the network. It helps us prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We primarily use Singularity for its EDR functions. We're happy with that."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."

"It has improved the way our organization functions, made things run faster in our company, and has done a fantastic job of keeping our networks free of virus."

"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."

"Technical support was always very helpful and responsive."

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The update process can be better. It is very easy to deploy, but over a long period, the updating process can be a little messy. In some EDR solutions, you end up with a very good mechanism to push new versions. It could do with a little work in that area. It is not particularly difficult, but it could do with a little work."

"It would be nice if they improved the user interface."

"I have to go in and build new exclusions daily, so it can be a headache for certain users and programs."

"I am utilizing Purple AI, but I feel that it is not available in our infrastructure since we have offloaded SentinelOne only on our servers and not from the vendor."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint would benefit from broader security ecosystem integration, including deeper native integrations across identity access and other security domains, which would make it more competitive with larger security platforms."

"The volume of shadow copies becomes too large and we have to manage that."

"For improvement, I would say the infrastructure is very slow; the application I use is sluggish, potentially due to workload or problems on my company's side."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

"Their management interface is a little buggy as it will hang up and crash from time to time."

"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."

"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"The tool's price is moderate."

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

"It has a yearly renewal."

"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."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"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 price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."

"The price is fair for what we are getting."

"The price of Singularity Complete compared to some of its competitors is competitive."

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

"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 license is per user."

"When it came to the price compared to other solutions we tested, SentinelOne Singularity gave us the price of our expectations whereas CrowdStrike could not."

"The licensing is comparable to other solutions in the market. The pricing is competitive."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
