AI-driven detection has accelerated phishing response and now protects endpoints without slowdown
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. I also noticed that it does not affect the performance of the device, which is something great. I do not know how they have developed it, but it is really impressive. Additionally, I noticed deep visibility into the environment where we can track everything. If something is found, we can easily track it and get a bird's eye view of the overall attack visibility. The visibility feature allows us to easily provide root cause analysis to the respective people, which helps in faster incident investigation. We have seen great outcomes with SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response. First, we conducted a pilot proof of concept and noticed that SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response is very fast. Within a small amount of time, it is able to detect everything and protect the environment. The mean time to detection has been reduced drastically. For example, with other tools, when a phishing email comes in and an attack starts, we learn about these details later and cannot take a proactive approach. With SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response, the tool monitors registry changes and any suspicious executable files continuously. In our pilot use case, within five minutes it reported one suspicious activity involving high encryption from a phishing email. This is something amazing considering all the other tools in the market. The response capability is great. Earlier, we would learn about phishing and threats after two to three days. After conducting the proof of concept, we found that within hours we are notified about threats.

We now benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring
It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation. They also have robust threat-hunting capabilities in the backend, which is crucial for me as a one-man band in the IT department. The managed service wraparound is essential, especially with pre-authorization for incident response

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."
"SentinelOne has a rollback feature that has helped them gain popularity in the market. No other competitors of the solution including Cisco, Fortinet, or Cortex XDR have this feature. SentinelOne is a kernel-independent solution. We don’t need to check the kernel dependency on the Linux platform. They also commit to a 100 percent recovery from ransomware attacks. The solution has rollback features for ransomware on Windows."
"The most valuable feature is that it works and isn't compromised. Other solutions I have used have all been compromised and SentinelOne is the only one that hasn't been compromised as far as I understand."
"One of the best features SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response offers is the Purple AI and behavioral detection capability, which is superior to traditional EDRs that rely solely on signatures."
"We are still working on it, and you can't find a silver bullet solution, however, building your total security with SentinelOne included in your portfolio is a great thing."
"Using SentinelOne Vigilance has contributed to my team's focus on strategic initiatives."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is a very stable solution."
"SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response has had a significant positive impact on my organization by enhancing our overall security posture and incident response capabilities."
"Our security posture has improved. We previously lacked intrusion detection and response capabilities, but now we benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring. Their portal provides a straightforward way to report suspicious activity, keeping us well-informed about potential threats."
 

Cons

"Areas for improvement include advanced threat hunting requiring skilled analysts, complex advanced policy tuning, optimization for large alert volumes, and the need for reporting customization."
"The support response time is not the issue, however, sometimes, the answers provided are not fully satisfactory due to the nature of the technology and issue complexity."
"The solution's memory forensics capabilities and hard disk capacities are quite basic."
"The integration with Microsoft 365 for SentinelOne Singularity MDR isn't quite as effective as with Field Effect."
"Regarding disadvantages of SentinelOne Vigilance, there is no local hub server that I can use to download the updates and signatures only once."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system."
"The tool needs improvement in clear communication and detection."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
"It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"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."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
