Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 3, 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.

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe

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.

Improves security alerts and analysis with comprehensive insights

I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy. VirusTotal should add more details like those from competitors such as URL Void or Symantec URL Checker, which show the category of websites. The addition of a file selection option to analyze files would also enhance the service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne is very simple to install and very simple to manage. It's very aggressive, so it does protection well, and it seems to be stopping attacks that other solutions cannot."

"When there is an incident, the solution's Storyline feature gives you a timeline, the whole story, what it began with, what it opened, et cetera. You have the whole picture in one minute. You don't need someone to analyze the system, to go into the logs. You get the entire picture in the dashboard. The Storyline feature has made our response time very fast because we don't need to rely on outside help."

"The Storyline feature has significantly affected our incident response time. Originally, what would take us hours, now it takes us several minutes."

"The most valuble feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the recovery and zero-day detection."

"The best part of the agent is that users can't remove or disable it, so endpoints will be safe. I can control it from the portal. I can see when it's updated and I can push updates from the portal. The greatness of SentinelOne is that our end-users don't see anything to do with the agents. Some of them don't even know it's on their laptops. And that's a good thing."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint scales well and is scalable."

"It is priced by endpoint device, making it one of the well-priced solutions, as it is not too expensive and is a very good enterprise solution."

"The most valuable feature of Singularity Complete is the Ranger function."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the worldwide malware information database."

"The feature I like the most is the ability to see the MD5 or SHA-256 signature of the file, and also the composition of the file according to its segments."

"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."

"I have never had any problems with stability or bugs while using VirusTotal."

More VirusTotal pros

Cons

"I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security's stability a four out of ten."

"The stability is just okay."

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

"The stability of SentinelOne should be improved."

"The role-based access is in dire need of improvement."

"The drawbacks I have identified with SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint are that they should work on being more responsive than CrowdStrike."

"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."

"As a user, I personally feel that in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, the customized dashboard could be improved. We were not able to create a customized dashboard in it."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

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

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

"There is room for improvement, particularly in making some of the most useful features more accessible in the non-paid version."

"VirusTotal needs better advertisement and promotion, especially in the Middle East, since it is not yet widely recognized or popular in that region."

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see an improved user interface and some automation."

More VirusTotal cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a bit of a pain point. That's where we have not been able to convince all of our customers to use SentinelOne. The pricing is still on the higher side. It's almost double the price, if not more, of a normal antivirus, such as NOD32, Kaspersky, or Symantec."

"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 solution is a bit cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro and more expensive than smaller solutions. Still, it has a pretty reasonable price point, as I appreciate the flexibility SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers."

"The pricing appears to be pretty affordable."

"It is not sold as a consumer product. It is only sold based on the number of licenses. So, as an MSP, you're probably going to pay about three and a half dollars per license, per month to have SentinelOne."

"There are cheaper options out there that I know are not as effective. I have administered several of them, not for this organization but for others. The thing I like about SentinelOne is that I know that if it raises an alert, it is worth looking at, so we are not dealing with a lot of false positives. It is rare."

"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."

"SentinelOne can cost approximately $70 per device."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is very economical."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"VirusTotal is an expensive solution."
