SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

We utilize SentinelOne Singularity Complete to manage the endpoints, including workstations on both Windows and Mac platforms. This enables us to detect any anomalous behavior and threats on these workstations. Essentially, it empowers us to safeguard our enterprise, effectively replacing our conventional antivirus solution.

We aimed to bolster our security and achieve more comprehensive coverage, which is why we adopted SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

Singularity Complete's interoperability with third-party tools is good. The integration with the Singularity XDR platform enables us to collect logs from various other platforms and consolidate them into a single console. This greatly facilitates swift issue diagnosis and identification, making it an advantageous perspective.

We have recently begun using the ingestion and correlation functionalities of Singularity Complete. Currently, we are in the process of integrating it with our existing networking equipment, namely Palo Alto and Fortinet. Our objective is to ingest specific data from these sources and derive meaningful insights from the collected information. The integration processes are quite straightforward and user-friendly. It seems that any challenges we are facing might be attributed to configuration issues on our side, which we need to improve upon.

Singularity Complete has assisted us in consolidating our security solutions. With Singularity Complete, we now have a centralized platform for monitoring alarms. We are gradually phasing out the other solutions we had in place.

It has enabled us to gain more confidence and autonomy. The solution is comprehensive as it effectively manages both workstations and threats. Consequently, it significantly reduces the burden of dealing with operational issues and reacting to problems. This approach eliminates the need for excessive proactivity, as we trust the platform to handle these tasks on our behalf. Thus, we no longer need to spend time searching for threats, as the platform efficiently performs this task for us.

It helped reduce false positives. We fine-tuned the solution by creating some exclusions that have reduced the number of alerts.

Singularity Complete has freed up two to three hours per week of our staff's time to work on other projects and tasks.

Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTD by around five hours and has reduced our MTTR by around three hours on average.

It has indirectly helped save costs because we spend less time having to deal with configuration and proactively configuring alarms and alerts.

Singularity Complete has reduced our organizational risk by around 40 percent.

The most valuable aspect, in any scenario, was the rollback feature. There were instances when some workstations detected infections, and having the rollback feature proved to be incredibly valuable.

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

I'd like to see more operations with the XDR platform.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one year.

I would rate the stability of Singularity Complete a ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.

The technical support is of high quality, strong, and responsive.

Positive

We previously used ESET but we were often missing threats and not finding out until after the fact.

The initial setup is straightforward. We collected several samples for each department, and subsequently, we distributed them to ensure their functionality among the users in different departments. After conducting the necessary tests, we proceeded to implement the final version.

Two individuals were engaged in the deployment: a Cyber Hunter and an administrator.

The implementation was completed in-house.

We have observed a return on investment through the time saved managing our workstations and addressing threats. This has provided us with additional time to dedicate to operational projects.

The pricing was very similar in terms of its competitors, but I believe SentinelOne's capability and willingness to attract new business allowed us to save some extra money. I think the pricing aligns well with the market. They encountered competition, so their pricing was slightly more adaptable. That's where we gained an advantage from it.

We evaluated CrowdStrike and Defender. We didn't find Defender to be a strong enough technology. CrowdStrike was more expensive, while SentinelOne offered a combination of good technology and affordability.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

SentinelOne is ahead of the curve. They are certainly leading the way. When we consider the kinds of integrations being developed and the AI integrated into the platform, it's evident that they are the latest entrants to the market. This current position enables them to be more innovative in their approach.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is extremely mature at this level.

We have 50 end users based out of multiple locations. A lot of our users work from home. Singularity Complete is deployed on laptops, workstations, and our servers.

The maintenance is minimal and is overseen by one person.

We're very satisfied with SentinelOne as a strategic partner. They've given us what we need, and we see a long-term future relationship with them.

Planning the rollout is crucial because we need to effectively manage the changes with the users. Therefore, meticulous planning of the rollout, organized by department, ensures a seamless transition and allows us to anticipate any potential issues. Adopting a staggered approach, rolling it out per department, is likely the most effective strategy for deploying Singularity Complete.

We have deployed SentinelOne Singularity on each end-user machine, as well as on the majority of our servers, utilizing it as an antivirus solution. Additionally, we employ SentinelOne Vigilance for our Security Operations Center. Moreover, we extensively utilize this solution across all our machines for tasks such as inventory control, asset tracking, and software monitoring. Furthermore, we have incorporated Ranger AD to enhance security within our active directory setup.

We use Ranger and Ranger AD. We incorporate the data from our SentinelOne Singularity into our SIEM. Moreover, in terms of Ranger, they are both accessible through the same console. When I click, the information is readily available. It's quite straightforward. Furthermore, concerning the transmission of logs to our SIEM, I don't believe we've ever encountered any problems with the initial setup or ongoing functionality.

Ranger offers visibility into our network and assets, which is quite significant. While other tools are available, having this functionality integrated is advantageous since we have it incorporated into a couple of our tools. This covers everything from our switches onward; although there are different options available, Ranger stands out because we are already using Singularity for other purposes. Hence, having it included is beneficial. While it may not be a decisive feature, it's something we always keep enabled.

It is important that Ranger does not necessitate new agents, hardware, or network changes. The fact that it's present, and functions seamlessly, alleviates any need for concern on my part. Furthermore, it effectively identifies new elements.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped improve our response time. In areas where we don't have twenty-four-seven support, VigilanceOne will take over. We use VigilanceOne through SentinelOne, and it ensures constant monitoring. This makes me feel more at ease, knowing that there's continuous surveillance. With the addition of Ranger, Ranger AD, and VigilanceOne, I believe we have gained better insight into our entire network. This combination offers us an added layer of comfort.

It has helped reduce our MTTD and MTTR.

It has helped reduce our risk overall.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is exceptionally proficient at alerting and identifying any anomalies or unusual behaviors on the machines. While we do encounter false positives, it has successfully detected several instances of malicious activities on the machines. Having the capability to gain insights across our network, observe all our machines, and have a centralized view of what's protected and where things are is incredibly advantageous.

The process of uninstalling and reinstalling older agent updates needs improvement. I am aware that the newer versions of SentinelOne that they have been working on are more effective. One of our major frustrations arises when we attempt to remove SentinelOne Singularity Complete from a machine and it only partially uninstalls.

The initial tier of support, when we call or engage with them in conversation, assigns a representative to assist us. However, we have occasionally encountered difficulties with the initial person, either due to their lack of knowledge or failure to follow through. In such cases, we have had to seek assistance from others or navigate through basic support on our own. Despite this, it appears that everything is progressing in the right direction. This is why we chose to renew our contract with them and even expand our range of products with their company.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for three years.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

My feelings are moderate towards the technical support.

Neutral

We had Sophos Intercept X Advanced Cloud Security initially. We had acquired all these tools through a different program. Despite having these tools, a virus managed to get through and bypass all our defenses. This is why we opted for SentinelOne Singularity Complete – we wanted to test the effectiveness of the AI-based approach compared to the traditional signature-based method.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. During the initial phases of deployment, we had a couple of helpful individuals assisting us with the solution deployment, which resulted in a relatively smooth process.

The deployment was carried out by two administrators collaborating with one or two individuals from SentinelOne. Subsequently, we needed to initiate the installation and verify the installs. Consequently, I assembled a team of technicians for this task as well. To be specific, there were around two administrators and possibly four to six technicians dedicated to checking and ensuring the proper functionality of the setup. This was necessary due to the replacement of the old solution across twelve hundred machines within a limited timeframe.

The implementation was completed in-house.

I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair. While it may not be a budget-friendly solution, I think it's reasonable considering what we are receiving.

We evaluated other solutions through online research, but we were recommended SentinelOne Singularity Complete by a company with which we were collaborating. Since the solution performed effectively during our cleanup process, we decided to continue using it.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has matured over the last two years and is a more complete product.

Moderate maintenance is required to keep up with the end users.

I do consider SentinelOne a partner. I do believe that their program is developing, but I wouldn't use them for all purposes everywhere. This is due to my mindset. Nonetheless, I do perceive that SentinelOne is increasingly becoming more of a partner.

We provide SOC services for mostly UK clients and use SentinelOne to monitor our clients' endpoints and remedy threats. Some threats are remedied automatically, but others require investigation. We analyze the file and log any new vulnerabilities in our threat intel account. 

Singularity Complete is a one-stop solution that encompasses all the endpoint protection solutions from SentinelOne. We've eliminated about 99 percent of our other solutions by switching to Singularity. It's easy to integrate SentinelOne logs, and we don't need any other tools for threat hunting or SIEM. Everything is on one platform. You can fully realize Singularity's benefits after about 3 months of deployment and training.

The solution is supported by Vigilance, SentinelOne's MDR service. They monitor 24/7 since we have other things to do. We have an SLA that threats will be mitigated within 45 minutes to an hour after detection. Singularity has virtually eliminated our organizational risk from threats. 

Singularity's threat-hunting platform is user-friendly, and I like the built-in remote access feature. External parties can log in securely via the S1 agent. It's easy to integrate S1 logs with our SIS. That's one good thing. We don't need to use any other tools, like a SIEM. 

I would like SentinelOne to add a threat-hunting report and more UEBA features. They could add more SIEM functionality. It would be nice to have the ability to easily drag all the logs from the agents, so there's no need for multiple agents installed on the endpoint. 

I have used Singularity Complete for a year and a half. 

We haven't seen any downtime outside of normal maintenance windows every few months. 

Singularity's scalability is good. 

I used CrowdStrike before, but SentinelOne is easier because I can do more stuff on that. For example, let's say I want to fetch some files from an end user's machine or install something, but I do not manage the machine as a security person. If we need to do something inside, I can do a full scan and use remote access to see everything. 

The SentinelOne suite is appropriate for our use case. If the scope and tasks were different, another EDR might be better. CrowdStrike has built-in UEBA, but it's not as user-friendly as SentinelOne. 

I'm not involved with purchasing decisions, but I believe Singularity must be cost-effective because the management selected it. 

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete 9 out of 10. It's an excellent solution for monitoring and managing endpoints. I recommend doing SentinelOne's training to familiarize yourself with how to leverage the entire product. 

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for incident management planning to protect against insider and outsider threats, monitor threats, block websites across our branches, and manage assets.

Before implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we could not track our assets, manage the threat insights, or block USB devices. Now we can manage and handle all our assets and keep them healthy. We can also protect our data from malware and ransomware attacks.

The SentinelOne Singularity Complete reporting suite is essential for providing comprehensive visibility into the security posture of an organization.

We realized the benefits of SentinelOne Singularity Complete two months after we deployed it. We knew after the proof-of-concept that SentinelOne Singularity Complete would be useful in our environment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps our organization track all our systems. We receive an automated weekly threat report on our systems, which helps us manage incidents before they occur. We automatically receive insight threat reports in our emails, which is a great way to identify and track issues so that we can remove the affected asset from the environment to protect our systems and network.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory.

SentinelOne's XDR service is valuable. We use them to find the root cause of an issue.

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

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six months.

We previously used Kaspersky, but we found that it could not clearly identify all of our assets and risks. With SentinelOne Singularity Complete, our environment is more secure.

The initial deployment was straightforward. 

We used a third party for the implementation.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We recommend that people evaluate SentinelOne Singularity Complete before buying it. At a minimum, they should compare it to their current solution and other products to see the difference. They should do a small comparison of the major points that each product covers and does not cover. Once they have a good understanding of the options, they can have a demo or proof-of-concept before making a purchase. Additionally, it is helpful to check which companies are currently using SentinelOne Singularity Complete in their live environment for a long period of time without experiencing any challenges.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to protect our environment against malware, unwanted programs, and ransomware.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete for better overall visibility on our endpoints. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is excellent at remediating.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is great at ingesting and correlating data across our security solutions. I have better visibility and can see how many endpoints and groups are affected and how much the problem spread in our environment. I can see the scope of the work I need to do.

I use SentinelOne Hunter for threat hunting. It can be used in two ways, SentinelOne provides a library of pre-audit queries on different vulnerabilities, topics, and groups. We can use these queries to search for specific activities in our environment. If we have our own indicators of compromise, such as those from a CISA advisory, we can use the Scraper feature to scope those IOCs to our environment and look for them.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our alerts by 25 percent.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR.

It has helped reduce our organizational risk.

I mostly use the dashboard to view infected endpoints on unresolved threats, so that I can prioritize my investigations. In incidents, SentinelOne's remediation is excellent; we can immediately see if the threat type is dynamic or static. In other words, if it has been executed. Additionally, I like the visibility that we have into machines, as we can log in and investigate them directly.

Singularity Complete's process stream has room for improvement.

I find CrowdStrike's vertical layout to be better than SentinelOne Singularity Complete's horizontal layout.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one year.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. We have only had minimal issues with the solution's performance.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable. The number of agents available on our endpoints is based on our license.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We have one engineer who maintains SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete based on each organization's business model and what it is protecting. Organizations should definitely consider this solution when evaluating other products. The remediation feature that SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers is superior to other EDR solutions and can help remediate a situation quickly.

The primary use case for us is to use the lightweight SentinelOne agent on our endpoints. Our previous vendor's agent was heavier, which caused performance issues when scanning our systems. We were impressed with how lightweight the SentinelOne agent is and how few resources it consumes. We also use it for some of our infrastructure, which includes machines with limited resources. We wanted to find a solution that would not impact the performance of these machines.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has streamlined the mitigation process and the time it takes to analyze and understand whether I have a true positive or a false positive. This has definitely saved me some time. The rollback feature is also a nice addition. Previously, our old solution would link out to services like VirusTotal, but it was difficult to follow these links to determine if an alert was a true positive or a false positive. For example, an alert might be labeled as a potentially unwanted application, which might not be as critical as a true positive. SentinelOne has made it easier to determine the severity of an alert. I have also noticed that SentinelOne has cut down on the number of false alerts. Our old solution would alert us to things like Chrome browser updates, which would download and make registry changes. With SentinelOne I have only encountered one alert that I didn't need to worry about.

We have definitely saved a lot of time. We had to spend some time setting up the environment correctly, scaling up the protections, and setting any exemptions. After that, the most I need to do is troubleshoot issues that are not related to SentinelOne, such as removing the SentinelOne agent if I need to troubleshoot another issue on an end-user device. Application updates, such as when a new installer is released, are the only other times I need to access SentinelOne, besides when I need to review an incident.

It has helped us reduce our MTTD. We are notified of threats quickly, and being able to see the threat on our dashboard has simplified the process. Once a threat is identified and I am on the screen, I can click once to view the visibility and see if the threat is anywhere else on our network. This is fantastic.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us reduce our MTTR.

Although it is difficult to quantify the direct financial savings of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we have saved money indirectly through time saved.

Visibility is one of the most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete. It does not directly replace a dedicated SIM solution, but it works well for our environment and gives us the visibility into our systems that we need.

I appreciate that it is easy to review incidents that have been detected by the behavioral AI or the SentinelOne Cloud. From the notification we can click into the incident to start reviewing, it is just a few clicks. I have all the data in a single pane, and I can pivot to other sources of information, such as VirusTotal, with a single click. I can also hunt for the incident on the network with a single click. This makes things much easier and saves me time from having to review logs.

One way to improve and get additional benefits would be for SentinelOne to host the updated installer files for us, rather than us having to download and host them ourselves. This could be done in cloud storage or through our mobile device management platform. When they release a new package, whether it's an early release or a general release, I believe they could provide more value by hosting those packages directly. Currently, when they release a new package, I get notified, which is great. However, I then have to go to the portal, download the package, and replace the package that we have posted on our own cloud storage. This is time-consuming. If they could simply provide me with a link to the latest general release installer, that would be fantastic. Even if the link changes, I would only need to change the URL in our cloud storage. This would save me a lot of time.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for five months.

I keep the central tab open in my browser. If I click Sign in instead of being signed in, the page refreshes, and I have to sign in again. I think this was just a session token expiring. I have not experienced any stability issues with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, such as crashing or downtime.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable to our infrastructure and endpoints. Once we figured out the deployment hurdle for Windows and Mac, we were able to push it out to all of our endpoints without any problems. I can break out devices into different sites and groups, and some of those groups can be dynamic. For example, if I'm looking for a Mac computer versus a Windows computer, I can just click on the group and see all of them there. I can also add tags for anything, such as the OS version or if the person might be a specific risk. These are non-relational attributes and values that we can set, so we can define whatever schema we want. It's fantastic.

The technical support team was quick to answer my question and their answer was precise. I didn't have to go back and forth with them or explain things multiple times. They gave me exactly what I needed.

Positive

We previously used BitDefender and Malwarebytes. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was priced similarly, and we felt that it had better support. When we had a support issue, it was answered and resolved quickly. Additionally, the visibility and ability to traverse the logs of all the other devices in our network were invaluable. This allowed us to see if a threat might be present elsewhere in our network. This is what ultimately led us to choose the complete solution over the other SKUs that they offer.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a lightweight agent. Additionally, some of our servers are running older operating systems. The agents from our previous vendor did not work well with these older systems. I specifically looked for a new solution that would not be a watered-down solution and would function across our legacy architectures as well as our current modern setup.

Another benefit of the Singularity Complete solution is the increased visibility it provides. We are able to collect data on endpoints that are connecting to specific IP addresses or installing specific files with similar hashes. This allows us to see how far a threat has propagated through the network or if anyone else has it installed. This is something that we could not do with our previous solution.

We use Windows and Mac computers. Deploying SentinelOne on Windows was fairly easy. We were able to do it through our remote management solution. The installation was straightforward and simple. The most difficult part of the process was that the device had to reboot in order for SentinelOne to connect to the visibility service and bring everything online.

Deploying SentinelOne on Mac was a bit different. This is primarily due to the way the macOS operating system works. We need to grant specific privacy permissions to applications in order for them to have full disk access or screen recording capabilities. We found that if we installed SentinelOne on the user profile of a Mac computer, the user's administrator could remove it. This is not ideal, so we had to go back to the drawing board and deploy SentinelOne through our MDM solution.

The biggest headache was that, in order to deploy SentinelOne through MDM so that users did not have to grant privileges to the application, we needed to create a Privacy Preferences Policy Control profile with the specific permissions granted for the SentinelOne bundle ID. We then pushed this profile out to all users. Once we did this, the installation was seamless.

A few colleagues and I completed the implementation in-house.

We have seen a return on investment in the form of time savings. We used to spend more time on incidents, but now we can quickly triage them and move on to other things. This has freed up our time so that we can focus on more important tasks.

We did receive a competitive price for SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, I believe the retail pricing, or MSRP, is a bit high. I hope we can get the same competitive pricing through our reseller when it comes time to renew. I still believe there are benefits to the solution, even if we had to pay the list price. However, I think they could be more competitive with their upfront pricing.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten. The room for improvement is to add some additional features, such as Ranger, which they sell separately. I see a lot of value in Ranger, and I wish it was included with the complete purchase.

We do not have any direct plugins for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, such as Ranger. Ranger is an add-on that I believe can be purchased through SentinelOne to expand our visibility. We do not have that, and I wish it was included because there are quite a few nice features that I would hope to see eventually included or trickled down to the complete solution. I feel like those are just a few other cherries on top that would really put this package over the top. One of the struggles I have in a Mac environment is creating a custom application creating the Privacy Preferences Policy Control profile and setting everything correctly so that users do not need to interact with the application when it is pushed to them. SentinelOne has clear documentation and works with a few MDM vendors that have documentation already published. So when we were running a POC for a few of these vendors, it was very easy to get that set up, which is not something I can say for other applications.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an intuitive product. I found the getting started guide and active preparation checklist to be very helpful. The checklist is well-documented and comprehensive, and it covers everything from the initial purchase to GoLive. The support team was also able to answer any questions I had about navigating the application. The interface is mature and user-friendly. I have not encountered any major issues so far. Overall, I am very happy with SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is definitely valuable as a strategic security partner. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was our top choice, and we are happy with it. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues if they were looking for a solution for their company.

Maintenance is only required when the vendor releases a new general access version of the installer. I need to download the new version, upload it to our servers, and make sure it deploys successfully to our machines. This is the extent of my maintenance responsibilities. I do not need to directly interact with the application itself.

I would recommend that people evaluating SentinelOne Singularity Complete try it out to see if it is right for their environment. SentinelOne offers a trial that can be set up for their environment. When an organization purchases the product, they will flip a switch and there is no need to set anything else up. This was beneficial for us because we did not have to waste time setting up and deploying the product to a few devices in our environment only to have to do it again after we purchased it. I would also recommend engaging with the resources that SentinelOne provides to get a good understanding of the product. We can tweak the settings and see how it responds to different threats. If organizations have any specific needs, they can talk to an engineer during the trial. This was helpful for us because the engineer was able to make changes to the settings to meet our needs. Overall, I would recommend taking a look at SentinelOne Singularity Complete. I was initially overwhelmed by the different SKU offerings, but I was able to work with sales to find the best package for our needs. The SentinelOne team has been very helpful.

This is our main endpoint and detection response platform. 

It's our antivirus for all of our endpoints, including workstation servers, Linux Windows, Macs, et cetera. We're also deploying it to some of our mobile endpoints as well. We also do incident threat hunting here so that if we see an incident in our environment, we can use it to hunt down that incident and try to get a better analysis of it. We're using it to scan our active directory environment. 

We just wanted a better antivirus. It fixed a lot of problems that we were facing.

We get a lot of benefits from them, including its ease of use. We don't have to really go digging or spend hours a day trying to configure something. 

They have a really good knowledge base. That eliminates a lot of the time having to do manual research. The time it cuts down is great. It removes a lot of time from doing some of these manual and tedious tasks.

Their basic endpoint and detection platform is pretty much their bread and butter. The features that it comes with get a lot of love. You can add custom solutions, rules, et cetera. 

The mobile device management platform is also really good.

They have a lot of integrations with a lot of common platforms that we use. We integrate them with three or four other platforms including data analysis platforms. We haven't really come across too many instances where we had to create custom APIs for them. 

Our impressions of the solution's ability to ingest correlated data across our security solutions are good. They do it really well. They tend to take a lot of the data that they ingest and do a really good job showing you exactly what you need to do or utilizing that data the better way than just receiving it and then manually parsing it. 

We can consolidate our security solutions. It's nice. We have a lot of our security solutions right in the platform itself. They don't offer everything that we need as a security team, yet they do offer a lot. We've been acquiring more of their products as the years go on.

We use the Ranger functionality. That was something we acquired a little over a year ago, and we had quite a lot of endpoints in there, and we actually reduced that number down to under 20 recently. So we're working our way through it, and it's made a lot of progress in our environment.

It provides network and asset visibility for us. Ranger scans our network. It does a really good job of identifying that. In correlation with some of our other network tools, it does a really good job of evaluating what's out there and also being able to provide a proper review and analysis of those endpoints.

We like that Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It's actually really nice. Every time we want to do something that involves the installation of an agent, we have to put in a change request, and we have to wait for the proper easy to improve it. The nice thing about it was we just alerted a couple of teams. We were going to do some scans, and that was it. We've never had any issues. Agentless is definitely the way we've been trying to go moving forward.

We have more insight into our environment. While it doesn't cut down on alerts, we gain more visibility.

The solution, on average, saves us a couple of days' worth of time in total.

It's helped reduce our company's mean time to detect. In correlation with the SOC, we've seen quick alert times. We get an alert almost immediately after an incident.

It also improved the mean time to respond. It does depend on the situation.

From the standpoint of having to suffer through an attack, the solution has saved money in saving us a potential loss. We're paying for the product. The savings are all hypothetical numbers, however, we are definitely saving money. It's helped us reduce organizational risk. We were in bad shape before. We're looking a lot better now. 

The grouping feature needs improvement. There are many times I've wanted to do blacklisting or exclusions for specific people in a group, however, I don't want to remove them from the group itself. 

I'd like to see an auto-update feature. 

I've been using the solution for about over three years. I've been dedicated to it only for a year or two.

They are pretty stable. The company is expanding at a good rate and they are releasing new features to maintain the stability effectively.

We have almost 3,000 endpoints. We have a spike of 500 to 600 endpoints in the summer to December season. We are primarily Windows and also have about 200 Linux endpoints. They are all deployed across the same organization. 

Scaling is flexible. They do a really good job.

Technical support is helpful. Sometimes Level One support may not be the greatest, however, you can push to someone higher. Issues are always resolved. 

Positive

I don't have any personal experience working with other solutions. 

We are at about 98% deployment. There are endpoints that pop up that don't have the agent to get it, however, we're past the deployment phase or past the initial configuration phase. It's all just maintaining and tweaking, and as new features come out, we adjust.

I wasn't here for the initial deployment process. I've done a lot of configurations for new features that they've implemented.

Our team does general maintenance. They do a really good job of giving you the information you need to troubleshoot. Their knowledge base is really good. 

We've definitely seen an ROI. I'm not sure where we would be without it right now. 

The pricing is fair. It's not cheap, nor is it expensive.

The solution seems to be quite innovative. They are coming out with network products. Every month we have a webinar on new features coming out.

The quality and maturity of the solution are both great. The stuff they give us is really detailed.

There are instances of the solution on the cloud, however, all the endpoints are on-premises. 

I'm pretty satisfied with the product as a security partner. I'm happy with where we are with them. 

This is a great product. If a company is unhappy with its current EDR, SentinelOne is a good choice. They are acquiring a lot of companies and solutions to add to their roster in order to provide a more centralized platform.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It's going to be a good one-stop-shop and I enjoy working with them.

We use it for endpoint security for all of the systems in our environment. We have servers and workstations. We have macOS and Linux operating systems, and we are using it as an EDR/endpoint protection platform.

There is a lot of improvement from a security maturity perspective. Even though we have a very reputable and well-known SIEM, one of our go-to applications in our environment is SentinelOne. On a daily basis, almost all my staff or my analysts use it and operate it every day. It gives us a lot of information and a lot of data about what is going on. In addition to the detections, we are able to use and leverage Binary Vault. We could also use Remote Script Orchestration, which is an add-on that we could add to the platform. It allows us other functionalities that we would not normally have with another product in the same category. It allows us to run scripts on endpoints remotely out of the SentinelOne administrative GUI, which we use for all kinds of purposes. It has improved our abilities significantly in what we can do.

We have visibility into all our systems. We have visibility into malware or any suspicious activities that are occurring. We have the ability to quarantine systems based on the risks. If there is something going on, we have the ability to do that. We can also run remote scripts on systems, and we can control certain types of devices such as USB access. We have the ability to control what people can do with USBs. That is another functionality we use.

Most traditional antivirus platforms are very basic in terms of how you add exclusions. Usually, you completely exclude an application from detection. They do not provide you with various modes or various levels of visibility into an application. SentinelOne provides different levels of visibility, so you can have a level that has some visibility and does not completely make the application invisible to SentinelOne. It is the first platform that I have ever worked on with such capability. Instead of just a binary exclusion on or exclusion off, they provide different interoperability modes. There are five interoperability modes. Some are performance-focused, and some are visibility-focused. They allow you to select the mode that will give you the best balance of visibility and performance depending on the application. It is very handy. Most endpoint security platforms, antivirus, and EDRs are binary. You apply the exclusion and have zero visibility into what that particular application is doing in your environment. With SentinelOne, you can implicitly trust, or you have the ability to say that you trust it, but you want to have an eye on it if anything ever happens. For example, your third-party software is compromised, as happened with SolarWinds, and it starts doing funny things in your environment. That is what the interoperability exclusions give you with SentinelOne. This is an excellent feature.

In terms of its ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions, they have recently added the Singularity marketplace in XDR. Not all of them but most of them are included in the license. We do leverage it. It gives us additional context. For example, we were able to add the VirusTotal API, which adds the context of what VirusTotal has in terms of information on a particular detection or binary that is detected in SentinelOne. They are starting to build those APIs out. We are able to add more context from other third-party applications. It is excellent. It is at no cost to us. We are using quite a few of them already for other platforms that are built out of the box. We are starting to leverage any out-of-the-box APIs for the platforms that we have.

It has helped us with a little bit of consolidation. We were able to consolidate the device control. We were using another platform for that. We had another completely separate vendor for USB control, and now, we have decided to not renew that license and move all the controls through SentinelOne.

It has not helped reduce alerts. The point is not to reduce alerts. It is to increase alerts. The point of Singularity is to reduce incidents, and, we for sure, have achieved that. The point of the Singularity platform is to block things that we do not want to occur in our environment or at least have visibility to them so that we can take action. If we were to strip it out completely, the organization would be in a much worse place.

It has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks because the incident response has diminished. I do not have my analysts responding to threats. I have them just validating when something is detected to ensure that we are okay. For sure, it has freed them up. There are about 25% of time savings.

It has reduced our mean time to respond (MTTR). Without it, we would not have very much visibility into detections. It has improved our mean time to detect by 80% to 90%. If we did not have Singularity Complete, we would have very little visibility on the endpoints at least, and that is where most of our threats are occurring.

We have a service from SentinelOne called Vigilance. This service has reduced our mean time to react or respond. This 24/7 service has improved our mean time to respond significantly because it is the SentinelOne analysts who are responding. It has improved our mean time to respond by 80% because they are performing the analysis. They are the experts, and they are looking at the detection in our console. We do not have to go out and try to perform that same level of understanding of what we have just seen. Their experts take a look at that. Instead of spending hours and hours trying to figure out what we are seeing, it is literally down to just minutes by the Vigilance team. It is a separate license that we have incorporated with our Singularity license. It is a part of their MDR solution. It is a service they offer.

It has overall reduced our organizational risk.

The EDR functionality of the platform is what we use the most. That was the primary reason why we got SentinelOne. That is what we use the most in terms of functionality.

The ease of use can be better in Deep Visibility. It is not always the easiest. If I have not been in there in the Deep Visibility module for a long time, I do not always find it that easy to use. I tend to go and have to consult the help quite often if I have not been in there a long time. I am not a primary user of the application, so I do not always find it second nature to go in there and gather information. It could be a little easier. 

We have been using this solution for four years.

Its stability is next to nothing. It probably has an uptime of 99.99%. The only issue you would have is that the agent sometimes becomes unresponsive or corrupt, but there is not a single application in the world where you do not have some level of corruption or issues that may arise. If anything, it is much better than the others that we have.

It is very scalable. We have doubled the number of licenses or agents we have had in the last three years, and we have not had any issues.

They are excellent when it comes to interoperability and exclusions. For example, you may have somebody in your environment complaining about slowness, or you may have several situations where end-users may report that a certain application has been slow on their computer. SentinelOne gives you the ability to remotely pull the logs off a computer and send the logs to tech support for them to perform an analysis. They can perform their analysis from the logs and come back to you and say, "From what we are seeing, it looks like you have an application running application ABC that seems to require an exclusion. We recommend this interoperability type." All you have to do is say, "Oh, perfect. Thank you very much for that information. Add the exclusion." They have done all the analysis for you. You check back with your end-user to see if that has rectified the situation. In almost every circumstance that we have run into, it got rectified. I have never seen that type of analysis performed by an EDR or endpoint protection provider before. It is the first time I have seen that. This aspect of their support is excellent. However, some of the other things are not always detailed enough in terms of what we should be doing. They can be a bit vague, and if it does not help the situation, they may have to raise the issue to a different tier. So, they can be a little vague about exactly what you should do, but at least they set you on the right path. Overall, I would rate them an eight out of ten.

It was a product by Carbon Black called Carbon Black Response and Carbon Black Defense. We switched because Carbon Black was purchased by VMware at the time, and their customer service was diminishing substantially. Some of the older products that we still had by Carbon Black were not being supported as well as they were previously. Their technology roadmap was not fantastic. We started looking at other products. We found CrowdStrike and SentinelOne to be more up-to-date and more modern EDR solutions. We saw a noticeable improvement in terms of technology and detection. At the time, SentinelOne was priding itself on the level of number of detections it could detect. A lot of that came into the reviews of the product at the time and the type of tests that it was undergoing and its performance in those tests. That was a primary reason for deciding to go with SentinelOne and going away from Carbon Black. Pricing was another excellent aspect of the platform.

They host the platform in the cloud. It is a SaaS application for us.

Its deployment was extremely straightforward. All you have to do is deploy their agents on your computers. The agent checks in with your cloud console, and you start retrieving information immediately. Carbon Black Defense has that capability as well, but we went with SentinelOne because it did have that cloud capability. When COVID hit, and everybody left the office to go home to work, it was seamless for us. We have full visibility into every single system and asset in the organization whether they are on-premises or off-premises. They could be traveling. They could be anywhere in the world. As long as they have Internet connectivity, we have full visibility into their computers.

In terms of maintenance, the only maintenance that is required is to maintain the health of the agents. Sometimes the agents can become corrupt or stop functioning, so you have to ensure that you are checking for assets in which you run into those situations. The other thing would be the agent versions. You have to maintain agent versions as new versions of the agents come out. You can either automate it so that your agents get updated automatically on whatever schedule that you want, or you can do it manually. You can also do it through some other software deployment platform. That is the only thing you have to do maintenance on. The backend is all maintained by SentinelOne. All the updates to the console environment are taken care of by SentinelOne. Because it is a SaaS application, the only thing that the customer is responsible for is the agent deployment and upgrades.

We worked directly with the SentinelOne team. From our side, there were two of us. From their side, there was probably just one engineer.

It has helped our organization save costs. In terms of metrics, I can only go by what other competitors were charging at the time, and we got it at a significantly better price than what some of the other competitors were charging.

The ROI is not just from the platform itself. It is also from the Vigilance service perspective that has freed up my guys to do many other things. It saves my analysts at least two to three hours per day in man-hours, so there is a huge return on investment there. For the price that the service costs, it is extremely good value.

Their pricing was extremely competitive. That is why we stayed with them so long. We are renewing at the end of next month. We have already put in the approval. It is all set to go. We are renewing for another year or so year over year. It has been a very effective product, and it has been priced very competitively.

To someone who is researching Singularity Complete, I would say that it is excellent in terms of quality and maturity.

I would advise performing an extensive proof of concept. If you have the ability to use a security tool validation platform to test out multiple platforms before choosing one, that would be a good idea. You should also understand various modules that are add-ons to the platform. It is extremely important.

I have used the Ranger functionality, and I am very familiar with it. It provides network and asset visibility. You can configure the agent to scan the subnet that it sits on and look for other assets that are missing the SentinelOne agent. You can create a policy saying that if a device sits on a specific subnet and has, for example, more than five systems, try to interrogate those systems to see if they are the systems that may be eligible for the SentinelOne agent but are missing one. We did not renew the license for that specific functionality of SentinelOne about a year ago. We decided to go with another vendor to give us that type of visibility.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.
