Executive SummaryUpdated on Apr 9, 2026

SentinelOne Singularity Complete and VirusTotal compete in the cybersecurity market, primarily focusing on threat detection and management. SentinelOne appears to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive endpoint security solutions and autonomous response capabilities, which reduce the need for manual intervention, whereas VirusTotal is strong in threat intelligence.

Features: SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers a centralized management console, AI-powered threat detection, and autonomous threat response. These features help streamline threat management and reduce the time spent on manual intervention. VirusTotal integrates with multiple antivirus engines and blacklists for thorough threat analysis, providing insights into malware behaviors and network activities, which are crucial for threat intelligence.

Room for Improvement: SentinelOne Singularity Complete could benefit from more flexible reporting, quicker console load times, and enhanced integrations. Users desire faster alert insights and improved handling of agent updates. VirusTotal needs to enhance its AI capabilities, refine API integrations, and reduce reliance on manual configurations, which would significantly improve user satisfaction.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SentinelOne Singularity Complete supports on-premises, private, and public cloud deployments, providing versatile options for organizations. However, feedback on its customer service is mixed, with some users praising its promptness while others note delays. VirusTotal focuses on public cloud deployments, benefiting from a wide array of integrated antivirus solutions but struggles with slower and less interactive customer support.

Pricing and ROI: SentinelOne Singularity Complete is more expensive but offers significant ROI through automation and reduced downtime, making it competitive against high-cost rivals like CrowdStrike. Conversely, VirusTotal is cost-effective for threat analysis but may lead to higher costs if used extensively and lacks the advanced features that justify SentinelOne's pricing.

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.

Helps businesses collect threat data while keeping privacy in mind and apable of detecting, blocking, and removing viruses and malware

There are two gray areas I still need to explore. I have worked with VirusTotal because it easily integrates with over seventy antivirus scanners and blacklisting services. In addition to those there is much scope to improve and add other services or integrations. The areas for improvement are that VirusTotal is not using much AI or generative AI models, while other competitors are starting to build them. For example, VirusTotal's work is based on the setup done by their engineers. If you want to do scanning or protection activities for a specific site, app, or device, that is the area VirusTotal is currently focused on. But other competitors are building AI models that can do things like left-side scanning and provide auto-generated reports. VirusTotal has predefined reports, but there is a lot of manual effort involved. Secondly, the API is very limited if I want to integrate VirusTotal with other applications. They need to build more connectors and provide support for Webhook connectors for the API. If you can't build your own connector, it's always good to have provisions for Webhook setup connectors across platforms. Thirdly, Kaspersky, a competitor of VirusTotal, is using a methodology called "gatekeeper." A gatekeeper is a security system that protects the inside of a building from outside threats. This is the model Kaspersky is currently using. You have your website set up, but the entire army of VirusTotal or Kaspersky is standing guard, protecting you from the first gate itself. Right now, VirusTotal detects threats from your domain, but it is always better to verify inside the domain and protect it from the first level when people or malware are entering. This first level of protection is lacking in VirusTotal right now. The security bridge and protection gate are missing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that SentinelOne doesn't use a lot of system resources or make the system slow. It also performs a full scan quickly—within two hours. It has an easy-to-use end-user GUI."

"Overall, the time saved, lower incident impact, and improved security confidence clearly justified the investment."

"The overview is valuable. There are a lot of instances out there, but Singularity Complete cuts the noise down by giving us graphics and color-coding information instead of massive tech dumps. It helps us concentrate on what is actually needed versus just the noise."

"SentinelOne offers one of the best software quotes and has excellent reviews and everything."

"The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen."

"Another valuable feature is that if a machine is infected, one that may infect other computers within the network, we have the capability of segregating that machine in the network so that it remains connected to the internet but is cut off from the other machines in the network. That helps prevent spreading of the infection. That's a very unique feature, one I have not seen in the last 10 to 15 years from any other antivirus program. That's amazing."

"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne is the EDR functionality. We are protected against threats, such as ransomware."

"We love the API. We use it to generate robust reporting, and we also developed tools to perform agent actions remotely without needing to provide all IT staff with console access."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

"VirusTotal provides 95% to 98% accurate information."

"It provides detailed insights into possible malicious behavior, dropped files, and TCP connections."

"The initial setup is easy."

"It is quite simple for anyone if they just want to check some suspicious URLs."

"It gives detailed information about suspicious IPs, which is one of its most valuable features."

"The product is easy to use with coding, such as Python or Java, via its API."

"It can scan the dark web and find if an email ID has been compromised. This is another area that we have not explored yet."

"With VirusTotal, I can check for any hash, malware, file, domain, IP URL, or malicious URL, and Kaspersky stays clean."

More VirusTotal pros

Cons

"I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints."

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

"Native integration with the mobile console is an area that can be improved."

"They need to improve how we install the software."

"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."

"What I dislike about SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the high number of false positive alerts we get because our client sends us mail within one week stating that the CPU is highly utilized and resource consumption is high."

"SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."

"The performance could be better. Singularity lags a bit, and it's a resource-hungry application, so it takes a while to load."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

"I would like to see improved correlation with other threat intelligence sources, not just reliant on its own database, to enhance the database of threat intelligence that VirusTotal offers."

"VirusTotal is hard to understand because you need to know Google Docs to create queries, and it doesn't have documentation for that."

"They can improve the telemetry. Whenever we handle a sample, they cannot provide any information about a victim."

"The platform could improve in the areas of endpoints and networks."

"They can improve the telemetry. Whenever we handle a sample, they cannot provide any information about a victim."

"VirusTotal has predefined reports, but there is a lot of manual effort involved."

"I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy."

"There should be room for improvement, particularly in the API side of things."

More VirusTotal cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair."

"USD$6 per end point which decreases as end points increase."

"The cost of endpoint protection is fairly reasonable."

"The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly."

"Its cost is yearly. It is not much costlier than other leading products available in the market. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is cheaper than CrowdStrike but more expensive than any traditional anti-virus solution."

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

"From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is very economical."

"VirusTotal is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"We are using VirusTotal with free licenses, managing the license limits across three or four accounts, thus incurring no costs."
