Centralized threat insights have transformed how my team prioritizes and investigates incidents
SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response is a strong platform overall, but there are areas for improvement. The reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible to better suit different teams' needs. In some cases, having more detailed investigation guidance and clearer explanations for complex detections would help analysts, especially those who are new to the platform. I would also like to see broader integration with third-party security tools and additional customization options for alerts and workflows. These improvements would make it even easier to fit the platform into different security environments and operational processes. One area that could be improved is the availability of more advanced training resources and practical documentation. While the platform is user-friendly, having more detailed use case-based guides, troubleshooting examples, and hands-on learning materials would help teams get more value from the solution. Additional best practice documentation around threat investigation, workflow integration, and advanced features would also be helpful. Regular training sessions or updates with learning context would make it easier for administrators and analysts to stay current with new capabilities and improve their overall usage of the platform. One additional area for improvement would be providing more customization options for dashboard, reports, and workflow to better match different organizations and requirements. Enhanced automation options and more detailed guidance for complex threat investigation would also help teams get even more value from the platform. More frequent advanced training materials, real-world use cases, and updated documentation would be beneficial as new features are introduced. Overall, the platform is effective, but continued improvements in customization, learning resources, and investigation capabilities would make it even stronger.

Security monitoring has provided full incident visibility and enables rapid threat remediation
For improving SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it has to integrate some more EDRs, such as Trend Micro and multiple OEMs, such as Secure Right. They need to integrate that as well, and also integrate other firewalls such as Sophos and Palo Alto to enhance the MDR services. If there is any user who is using Palo Alto firewall and Trend Micro endpoint security, SonicWall Managed Detection and Response needs to manage that too, so SonicWall can also manage the same Palo Alto firewall and Trend Micro or Secure Right. In my experience with SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it is functional, but they need to integrate such things to improve the MDR services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In our company, we use SentinelOne Vigilance for security purposes. We not only use it to detect viruses but also to monitor any activities on the endpoints so that we can take appropriate measures to mitigate any potential threats."
"The initial setup process was straightforward, and deployment can take approximately half a day, depending on the company's size."
"The best features of SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response are obviously the AI-powered threat detection, which is the most sophisticated I have seen with any other tool."
"The impact of the threat hunting capabilities on detecting known and emerging threats in real-time is notable, and with the AI, it helps for real-time threat hunting."
"Most of the next-generation anti-virus products, including SentinelOne Vigilance, have behavior analytics included, and this is the feature I find most valuable in the solution."
"The endpoint security software is great."
"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."
"Valuable features in SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response are satisfactory, and compared to other solutions, we feel this is appropriate for our current needs."
"With MDR, when we purchase SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, we have visibility of our incidents and our malicious behavior traffic, and not only the visibility, they can also remediate that same thing."
 

Cons

"My customers who use the tool mostly want a summary of the monitoring activities of the product in a report form...t can be useful for our customers to identify the threats and incidents encountered by the product."
"I suspect that the areas for improvement may not necessarily lie within the tool itself but rather in our organization's lack of knowledge and understanding of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a complex area, and our organization has a skill set deficit. Therefore, we rely on our cybersecurity support company to help us manage the tool and handle incidents. Our limited expertise sometimes prevents us from fully utilizing them or identifying potential gaps."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response can improve by addressing lag issues in the UI and dashboard performance, especially during heavy investigations when alerts are high."
"The process to replicate exclusions is not user-friendly."
"SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response is robust, but specific pain points that stand out are complexity for new users, alert overload, customization limits, performance on large environments, and support response times."
"I think their technical support has some problems with scanning on the Linux machine, but other than that, everything is fine."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"For improving SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it has to integrate some more EDRs, such as Trend Micro and multiple OEMs, such as Secure Right."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
