Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Overall, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has been a valuable security solution for my organization, as the AI-driven detection, automatic response, and centralized management provide strong protection while reducing the time required for monitoring and incident response."
"Security operations have been improved as SentinelOne is easier to manage and update compared to most traditional anti-malware products."
"The single pane of glass is probably the most valuable. That is a big one. We could see everything from one view."
"It protects your machine, and it does an excellent job using AI to determine an attack and stop the attack. Its most powerful feature is prevention, and it can unwind ransomware activity as well. So, it is a really useful product in that sense."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint positively impacts my organization by saving time because I can see many details right away without needing to look for everything in some queries or anywhere."
"SentinelOne uses behavioral analysis and artificial intelligence to detect unknown malware."
"We are freeing up our resources and our security analysts' time to focus on the most critical threats to our landscape by not having to chase down false positives."
"For now, I think this is the best ADR in my opinion, so I am happy to use SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint every day in my job."
"It is quite simple for anyone if they just want to check some suspicious URLs."
"VirusTotal provides 95% to 98% accurate information."
"I have never had any problems with stability or bugs while using VirusTotal."
"It provides detailed insights into possible malicious behavior, dropped files, and TCP connections."
"It allows us to see if there have been previous reports on certain indicators of compromise, providing insights from other security professionals."
"The product is easy to use with coding, such as Python or Java, via its API."
"It gives detailed information about suspicious IPs, which is one of its most valuable features."
"With VirusTotal, I can check for any hash, malware, file, domain, IP URL, or malicious URL, and Kaspersky stays clean."
 

Cons

"Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint generates a high number of false positive alerts, which is a downside, along with high resource consumption leading to poor network connectivity."
"Improvement seems necessary, especially with the focus on enhanced support."
"To improve SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, I suggest enhancing the dashboard and reporting functionalities for better customization, making it easier for management to access tailored reports."
"The solution does not have an application security and control module."
"Sometimes it causes a blue screen and causes the device to crash. It causes servers or computers to crash."
"The UI appears to be flat, and I wish to have the ability to customize it with features and buttons that are tailored to our needs."
"I would like to see some improvements in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint; there are features that are currently missing that I would like to see included or enhanced in the future."
"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."
"I would like to see an improved user interface and some automation."
"I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy."
"VirusTotal has predefined reports, but there is a lot of manual effort involved."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in making some of the most useful features more accessible in the non-paid version."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."
"Its pricing is competitive."

"The pricing model is simple."
"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."
"It's around $8 per client per month."
"We are using VirusTotal with free licenses, managing the license limits across three or four accounts, thus incurring no costs."
"The pricing is very economical."
"The pricing is reasonable."
