Gives us "eyes" on all our endpoints and the ability to manage them if compromised
Pros and Cons
  • "We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer."
  • "Ranger does provide me with visibility of the network, but not completely because the assets it scans are often mistakenly identified regarding what type of device they are."

What is our primary use case?

I am part of the security team, and our strategy is to have this EDR deployed on all of the company's assets, all of our endpoints. We wanted a powerful platform in terms of detection and response to incidents.

How has it helped my organization?

It gives us a first layer of security. In addition, we have hired the SentinelOne Vigilance Respond team, a 24/7 SOC that monitors and mitigates. And, in case we need to escalate an alert on any of our assets, it allows us to do a bit of threat intelligence analysis and debug any asset on any topic.

It has helped reduce alerts thanks to the Vigilance service over the last two years. This includes all types of incidents, whether critical, medium, or low priority. Most of the alerts are managed by them, and we do not see them. We only see those that require some information that only our company has, but very few reach that level since Vigilance is directly in charge of managing them. If we had to manage the alerts that Vigilance manages, between 30 and 50 percent of my workday would go to reviewing alerts.

Overall, it has reduced our mean time to detect by about 70 percent, as that is the percentage in which it acts as an autonomous tool. And our mean time to respond has been reduced by 80 to 90 percent because we have SentinelOne's DFIR, Digital Forensics and Incident Response, team involved.

By providing that first layer of detection and response, SentinelOne allows us to have eyes on all our endpoints and, from there, to manage if a machine or a server has been compromised. We can directly isolate it from the network so that malware or ransomware cannot spread broadly.

It has helped us consolidate security solutions, although we did have some problems. The DFIR team responds quickly, and the Vigilance Respond team is continually working with us, managing the alerts. We do quarterly evaluations, and the support team always responds well, plus we interact with the tool ourselves.

The security team has gained a presence and control over the company's equipment that we did not have before.

Every device that does not have SentinelOne installed is a risk, and without SentinelOne, the difference would be significant. It has helped reduce our organizational risk by 70 percent.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne has three services that are very well consolidated:

  1. Technical support, through which they help you, suggest new configurations, and resolve questions. 
  2. The Vigilance Respond service, which is a 24/7 SOC that works on and manages all the alerts that are raised in SentinelOne on our devices. It’s a first layer of defense that filters a lot of the requests. Sometimes we end up escalating something because there are times when we need to understand if the alert is a false positive or not.
  3. DFIR, Digital Forensics and Incident Response. This team is in charge of doing all the forensic analysis of an incident, and we have a certain number of hours contracted with them. Their advisors' technical level is very high and enables you to create a high-quality forensic report, in case you have to escalate or report it to senior staff. The DFIR team is excellent.

Another aspect that is very good is the solution’s ingestion and correlation across security solutions. We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer. If you do not have visibility over that computer and the ability to manage it, you cannot block it, restart it, or run a full scan to see if the user has clicked on a link or if any type of malware has been downloaded. This is a layer of visibility and basic management that any company needs.

Also, there is the threat intelligence and activity correlation. They not only detect and respond to incidents but also prevent them.

What needs improvement?

We started using SentinelOne Ranger, but we found two problems. Perhaps they are particularities, but they should be addressed as they may change the minds of other companies that are considering this feature.

The first problem is that, while it scans all the assets that are on the network, when it comes to discerning whether an asset is a server or a laptop, it tends to fail. It does not have a very high level of precision. We have experienced problems when reporting these types of assets to those responsible for installing the agent, and then they tell us, "Hey, this is not a server, this is a fax," or "this is a printer." When things like that happen, we lose credibility.

The other issue that we saw with the functionality of Ranger is that if, for whatever reason, you have a product with SentinelOne installed but it is on a client's network, the SentinelOne agent starts scanning the ports and the network and goes to a honeypot. As a result, the client may think that it is being attacked because someone has reached its honeypot, when it’s actually us on the client's network. When you don't know that this is happening, it can generate conflict and tension with the clients. Once you know about the problem, you can deactivate that process, but sometimes it can have a negative impact.

Ranger does provide me with visibility of the network, but not completely because the assets it scans are often mistakenly identified regarding what type of device they are. A SentinelOne agent is worth a lot of money, and there is no point in putting it onto a printer, for example. It should have the ability to go a little further and be more precise.

Another very clear area for improvement, one that I don't understand why they haven't deployed it yet, is a self-updating SentinelOne agent. The agent has a version, and what SentinelOne proposed up until one year ago is that you had to be proactive in consulting the dashboard to see if your agent had reached end-of-life and then update it. Now, they've released a new feature where I believe you can schedule updates, so it makes perfect sense for the agent to update itself without any action on our part, and never go out of version. By simply connecting to the network it should be able to download and update.

This idea is not critical because SentinelOne updates many versions of the agent and, when one becomes obsolete, it does not mean that it no longer works. But this is something that SentinelOne should know how to work with. A solution could be that if you do not have the ability to auto-update the agent, SentinelOne would directly tell you which agents are not updated. That way, we would not have to go to the documentation, look at the dashboard, and filter the agents by version. It would be great if it were able to tell if the operating systems are unsupported so that we wouldn't have to look in the official documentation at whether the Windows Server is outdated or not.

If the agents self-updated, maintenance due to the update process would be minimal.

Learn what your peers think about SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: September 2025.
868,787 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne is very stable. It has never dropped or caused any problems

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We do not have it in any cloud. The agent is located on devices; we manage almost 10,000 computers. Our company has a presence in nine European countries, and SentinelOne is used in all of them. Our department is the group that supervises all regions, including Spain, France, the Nordic countries, Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland.

We are continually deploying new agents because we detect more and more devices. SentinelOne will stay in our company until it dies, so to speak. With what it has cost us to get here, we will not change now.

How are customer service and support?

Support responds in less than a day.

SentinelOne is a top partner in the industry.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What was our ROI?

Defender for Endpoint is more expensive than SentinelOne. Other solutions are more expensive and others are cheaper, but in terms of cost-benefit ratio, we’ll always stick with SentinelOne.

The detection and visibility over all assets, whether by the agent or Ranger, and the ability to take action as a result are worth it. It is all very intuitive, and for me, these elements are our return on investment.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

All the portals, at the end of the day, are "first cousins", such as CrowdStrike and Palo Alto, although that's not exactly an EDR. We went to a global cybersecurity congress in London, and all the solutions were there: SentinelOne and its competition. At the portal, user, and other levels, they are practically the same. Each will have something that is better and something that is worse, but they are quite similar.

What other advice do I have?

You have to do a cost-benefit analysis. Understand the context of your company. It is not the same for a bank or an insurance company compared to a company in the industrial sector that does not manage sensitive data. Understand your particular needs. After a cost analysis, if there is enough budget, choose SentinelOne.

The most important lesson I have learned using SentinelOne is to always listen to what the Vigilance Respond team says.

We are still chasing the benefits of the solution. The model is already deployed, but we are a very large company, and every day we find new devices that do not have SentinelOne. We are still in that phase of continual improvement, of improving the solution and achieving even more benefits. We are getting to the most isolated cases of, for example, servers that have little RAM, and we are debating if we should apply SentinelOne to them because, perhaps, the server will be affected more so. 

We are dealing with these small cases and continuously improving. You don't get all the benefits in two months; it is an ongoing process.

I would recommend SentinelOne, and if, in the end, it is a question of budget, choose it. If I became a CSO tomorrow, that is what I would do.

Foreign Language:(Spanish)

¿Cuál es nuestro caso de uso principal?

Soy parte del equipo de seguridad y nuestra estrategia es implementar este EDR en todos los activos de la empresa, en todos nuestros puntos finales. Queríamos una plataforma potente en términos de detección y respuesta a incidencias.

¿Cómo ha ayudado a mi organización?

Nos da una primera capa de seguridad. Además, hemos contratado al equipo SentinelOne Vigilance Respond, un SOC 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana que monitorea y mitiga. En caso de que necesitemos escalar una alerta sobre cualquiera de nuestros activos, nos permite realizar un poco de análisis de inteligencia de amenazas y depurar cualquier activo sobre cualquier tema.

Ha ayudado a reducir las alertas gracias al servicio de Vigilance durante los dos últimos años. Esto incluye todo tipo de incidentes, ya sean críticos, de prioridad media o baja. La mayoría de las alertas las gestionan ellos y nosotros no las vemos. Solo vemos aquellos que requieren alguna información que solo nuestra empresa tiene, pero muy pocos llegan a ese nivel ya que Vigilance se encarga directamente de gestionarlos. Si tuviéramos que gestionar las alertas que gestiona Vigilance, entre el 30 y el 50 por ciento de mi jornada laboral se dedicaría a revisar alertas.

En general, ha reducido nuestro tiempo promedio de detección en aproximadamente un 70 por ciento, ya que actúa como una herramienta autónoma. Ademas, nuestro tiempo promedio para responder se ha reducido entre un 80 y un 90 por ciento porque contamos con el equipo DFIR, análisis forense digital y respuesta a incidentes de SentinelOne involucrado.

Al proporcionar esa primera capa de detección y respuesta, SentinelOne nos permite vigilar todos nuestros puntos finales y desde allí, gestionar si un equipo o un servidor se ha visto comprometido. Podemos aislarlo directamente de la red para que el malware o el ransomware no puedan propagarse ampliamente.

Nos ha ayudado a consolidar soluciones de seguridad, aunque si tuvimos algunos problemas. El equipo de DFIR responde rápidamente y el equipo de Vigilance Respond trabaja continuamente con nosotros, gestionando las alertas. Hacemos evaluaciones trimestrales y el equipo de soporte siempre responde bien, además interactuamos con la herramienta nosotros mismos.

El equipo de seguridad ha ganado una presencia y control sobre los equipos de la empresa que antes no teníamos.

Todo dispositivo que no tenga SentinelOne instalado es un riesgo y sin SentinelOne, la diferencia sería significativa. Ha ayudado a reducir nuestro riesgo organizacional en un 70 por ciento.

¿Qué es lo más valioso?

SentinelOne cuenta con tres servicios que están muy bien consolidados:

  1. Soporte técnico, a través del cual te ayudan, sugieren nuevas configuraciones y resuelven dudas.

  2. El servicio Vigilance Respond, que es un SOC 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana, que trabaja y gestiona todas las alertas que se generan en SentinelOne en nuestros dispositivos. Es una primera capa de defensa que filtra muchas de las solicitudes. A veces terminamos escalando algo porque hay ocasiones en las que necesitamos entender si la alerta es un falso positivo o no.

  3. DFIR, Análisis Forense Digital y Respuesta a Incidentes. Este equipo se encarga de hacer todo el análisis forense de un incidente, y tenemos contratada una determinada cantidad de horas con ellos. El nivel técnico de sus asesores es muy alto y te permite crear un informe forense de alta calidad, en caso de que tengas que escalar o informar a tu personal superior. El equipo de DFIR es excelente.

Otro aspecto que es muy bueno es la incorporación de la solución y la correlación entre las soluciones de seguridad. Optamos por SentinelOne porque te brinda visibilidad y control sobre todos los dispositivos en los que tienes implementado el agente. Esto es muy valioso porque, al final, todos los ataques entran sólo a través de una puerta de enlace, que suele ser la computadora del usuario y si no tienes visibilidad sobre esa computadora o capacidad de administrar, no podrás bloquear, reiniciar o ejecutar un análisis completo para ver si el usuario ha hecho clic en un enlace o si se ha descargado algún tipo de malware. Esta es una capa de visibilidad y gestión básica que cualquier empresa necesita.

Además, cuenta con una gran inteligencia de amenazas y correlación de actividades. No sólo detecta y responde a incidentes sino que también los previene.

¿Qué necesita mejorar?

Empezamos a utilizar SentinelOne Ranger, pero encontramos dos problemas. Quizás sean particularidades, pero conviene abordarlas ya que pueden hacer cambiar de opinión a otras empresas que estén considerando esta característica.

El primer problema es que, tal vez escanea todos los activos que hay en la red, pero la hora de discernir si un activo es un servidor o un portátil, tiende a fallar. No tiene un nivel de precisión muy alto. Hemos experimentado problemas al informar este tipo de activos a los responsables de instalar el agente y luego nos dicen: "Oye, esto no es un servidor, esto es un fax" o "esto es una impresora". Cuando suceden cosas así, perdemos credibilidad.

El otro problema que vimos con la funcionalidad de Ranger es que si, por cualquier motivo, tiene un producto con SentinelOne instalado pero está en la red de un cliente, el agente SentinelOne comienza a escanear los puertos y la red y va a un honeypot. Como resultado, el cliente puede pensar que está siendo atacado porque alguien ha llegado a su honeypot, cuando en realidad somos nosotros en la red del cliente. Cuando no sabes que esto está pasando, puede generar conflicto y tensión con los clientes. Una vez que conozcas el problema, puedes desactivar ese proceso, pero a veces puede tener un impacto negativo.

Ranger me proporciona visibilidad de la red, pero no completamente porque los activos que escanea a menudo se identifican erróneamente con respecto al tipo de dispositivo que son. Un agente SentinelOne vale mucho dinero y no tiene sentido ponerlo en una impresora, por ejemplo. Debería tener la capacidad de ir un poco más allá y ser más preciso.

Otra área de mejora muy clara, una que no entiendo por qué no la han implementado todavía, es que el agente de SentinelOne sea autoactualizable. El agente tiene una versión, y lo que SentinelOne proponía hasta hace un año es que había que ser proactivo al consultar el panel para ver si su agente había llegado al final de su vida útil y luego actualizarlo. Ahora, han lanzado una nueva función en la que creo que se pueden programar actualizaciones, por lo que tiene mucho sentido que el agente se actualice sin ninguna acción de nuestra parte y nunca se quede sin versión. Simplemente conectándose a la red debería poder descargarse y actualizarse.

Esta idea no es crítica porque SentinelOne actualiza muchas versiones del agente y cuando una queda obsoleta, no significa que ya no funcione. Pero esto es algo que SentinelOne debería saber cómo ejecutar. Una solución podría ser que, si no tiene la capacidad de actualizar automáticamente el agente, SentinelOne te indique directamente qué agentes no están actualizados. De esa forma, no tendríamos que ir a la documentación, mirar el panel y filtrar los agentes por versión. Sería fantástico si pudieras saber que sistemas operativos no son compatibles para que no tuviéramos que buscar en la documentación oficial si Windows Server está desactualizado o no.

Si los agentes se autoactualizaran, el mantenimiento debido al proceso de actualización sería mínimo.

¿Durante cuánto tiempo he usado la solución?

He estado usando SentinelOne Singularity Complete durante dos años aproximadamente.

¿Qué pienso sobre la estabilidad de la solución?

SentinelOne es muy estable. Nunca se ha caído ni ha dado ningún problema.

¿Qué pienso sobre la escalabilidad de la solución?

No lo tenemos en ninguna nube. El agente está ubicado en los dispositivos; Gestionamos casi 10.000 ordenadores. Nuestra empresa tiene presencia en nueve países europeos y SentinelOne se utiliza en todos ellos. Nuestro departamento es el grupo que supervisa todas las regiones, incluidas España, Francia, los países nórdicos, Polonia, Rumanía, República Checa, Austria y Suiza.

Continuamente implementamos nuevos agentes porque detectamos cada vez más dispositivos. SentinelOne permanecerá en nuestra empresa hasta que muera, por así decirlo. Con lo que nos ha costado llegar hasta aquí no vamos a cambiarlo ahora.

¿Cómo es el servicio y soporte al cliente?

El soporte responde en menos de un día.

SentinelOne es un socio líder en la industria.

¿Cómo calificaría el servicio y soporte al cliente?

Positivo

¿Cuál fue nuestro Retorno de Inversión?

Defender for Endpoint es más caro que SentinelOne. Otras soluciones son más caras y otras más baratas, pero en términos de relación coste-beneficio, siempre nos quedaremos con SentinelOne.

La detección y visibilidad de todos los activos, ya sea por parte del agente o del Ranger y la capacidad que tiene de tomar medidas valen la pena. Es todo muy intuitivo y para mí, estos elementos son nuestro retorno de la inversión.

¿Qué otras soluciones evalué?

Todos los portales, al fin y al cabo, son "primos hermanos", como CrowdStrike y Palo Alto, aunque no sean exactamente EDR. Asistimos a un congreso global de ciberseguridad en Londres y todas las soluciones estaban allí: SentinelOne y su competencia. A nivel de portal, usuario y otros niveles son prácticamente iguales. Cada uno tendrá algo mejor y algo peor, pero son bastante similares.

¿Qué otro consejo tengo?

Tienen que hacer un análisis coste-beneficio. Comprende el contexto de tu empresa. No es lo mismo un banco o una compañía de seguros que una empresa del sector industrial que no gestiona datos sensibles. Comprende tus necesidades particulares. Después de un análisis de costos, si hay suficiente presupuesto, elije SentinelOne.

La lección más importante que he aprendido al utilizar SentinelOne es escuchar siempre lo que dice el equipo de Vigilance Respond.

Todavía estamos descubriendo más beneficios en la solución. El modelo ya está implementado, pero somos una empresa muy grande y cada día encontramos nuevos dispositivos que no tienen SentinelOne. Todavía estamos en esa fase de mejora continua, de mejorar la solución y lograr aún más beneficios. Estamos llegando a los casos más aislados de, por ejemplo, servidores que tienen poca RAM y estamos debatiendo si debemos aplicarles SentinelOne porque, quizás, el servidor se verá más afectado.

No obtienes todos los beneficios en dos meses; es un proceso continuo.

Yo recomiendo a SentinelOne. Si al final es una cuestión de presupuesto, elígelo. Si mañana me convirtiera en un OSC, eso es lo que haría.

Reduces organizational risk, low on machine load, and helps prevent ransomware
Pros and Cons
  • "It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk."
  • "They are still largely an EDR product."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for EDR, which it does in a brilliant way. We are also using it for log management. We can use it for investigations, reporting, and security incident management.

What is most valuable?

The most important aspect of the solution is that the load on the machine is not very high. It doesn't take up battery resources.

The solution prevents ransomware and other threats.

So far, it is working brilliantly. The dashboards and UI are user friendly, as is the ability to configure as needed.

It seems to have a lot more capabilities. The XDR capabilities, in particular, look very strong. We're currently looking into that.

If we want to do integrations with third parties, we don't have very many challenges around that.

The ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is very useful. It's impressive. The AI engine it has is excellent.

It helps us consolidate our security solutions.

While it does not allow us to reduce alerts per se, it does a good job of correlating. The way it's integrated into the SIM, it's working to the expectations we have.

The solution helps free up people so that they can work on other tasks. We don't have to grow our team too much now. My security team is actually quite small - about five people. We all get more time to handle other tasks.

We've noted that it does help reduce mean time to respond. We can identify events easier and those that are most critical are brought to the forefront. Previously, we were in the dark. Now we have so much more visibility. It's been a huge improvement. 

It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk. 

What needs improvement?

They are still largely an EDR product. The MDR side needs to be demonstrated. They need to make zero trust more robust. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for around two years now.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'd rate the solution's ability to scale eight to nine out of ten. 

How are customer service and support?

The SLA is good and the support team is quite impressive. They are very quick. I never need to escalate.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using Sophos and Symantec previously. We switched as SentinelOne took up fewer resources and could support a Linux environment. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is fairly straightforward. 

What was our ROI?

It's giving me confidence that my network is protected. The ROI is not so much cost savings as security on offer. We can safely sustain our business and secure our data assets. However, the time and cost savings we've seen are quite good. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is moderately priced. It's a valuable solution to have, however. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are evaluating Crowd Strike at the moment. 

What other advice do I have?

We are a SentinelOne customer. 

The quality and maturity of the product are good. It's one of the market leaders. It's delivered on what it's supposed to do. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

They are a good strategic security partner. They have the right credentials. They're offering a relevant service and it helps me communicate to my customers. I rate them very highly.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

The response time of customer service could be improved.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup involves configuration policy setup and deploying the agent, which is straightforward if done through tools like SCCM.

Deployment can be managed by one person when using SCCM or similar tools.

What about the implementation team?


What was our ROI?

The manual effort used for tasks like remediation has been reduced, contributing to ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete carries a higher price tag than some endpoint security solutions, customers find its robust features and return on investment justify the cost. However, it remains a more budget-friendly option compared to CrowdStrike.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

CrowdStrike is a comparable endpoint integration solution. SentinelOne is priced higher than CrowdStrike.

SentinelOne's console offers a more user-friendly experience compared to CrowdStrike and Trend Micro One, making it particularly well-suited for beginners.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We have many endpoints in multiple locations.

Maintenance is only required if an agent is disabled or cannot connect to the controller; otherwise, no manual intervention is needed.

As a security partner, SentinelOne is on par with CrowdStrike and has strong potential to become a leader in its field.

I recommend SentinelOne for its ease of use and management, especially for new customers. The user-friendly console and straightforward deployment process facilitate a quick learning curve. Furthermore, its cloud-based architecture minimizes the burden of updates.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Is user-friendly, easy to integrate, and extremely stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."
  • "I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

What is our primary use case?

I use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to prevent and mitigate attacks on my laptop.

While traditional antivirus programs can offer some protection, they often fall short against advanced cyber threats. This means having an antivirus doesn't guarantee my laptop's safety, as I've experienced with viruses, blue screens, and even complete crashes. Therefore, finding a more comprehensive security solution that actively prevents infections and stops attacks before they happen is crucial. The repeated blank screens on my laptop are a clear sign of a compromised system and so I implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to mitigate these problems.

How has it helped my organization?

The interoperability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is one of the key features. I integrated SentinelOne Singularity Complete with another solution for a customer and it was seamless.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete integrates well with my existing security solutions and provides effective data correlation. While our company has a smaller security stack, the larger customers who've incorporated Singularity across their entire security infrastructure have experienced seamless integration.

It streamlines our security posture by consolidating disparate solutions into a unified platform. This eliminates the need to navigate siloed interfaces for attack visibility, while automated response capabilities minimize the manual effort required for mitigation.

I sold the Ranger functionality to a customer who is an ISP and needed more network visibility.

Customers appreciate the ease of use of SentinelOne Singularity Complete's Ranger functionality, as it doesn't require installing new agents, or hardware, or making network changes.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides us with the confidence of knowing we're protected when connecting to external networks. Its user-friendly interface and seamless integration enable us to easily add more security features as our needs evolve, without incurring significant costs.

The number of alerts has been reduced. We used to get a lot of false positives and the solution has reduced our alerts by over 60 percent.

By quietly resolving most issues in the background, SentinelOne Singularity Complete frees up our time for other projects and tasks. This way we don't have to call our support team and we don't lose any productivity. We can save around four hours a day when an issue is detected.

Our MTTD has been drastically reduced by SentinelOne Singularity Complete to less than 30 seconds.

Our MTTR has been reduced thanks to the automated AI response from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. What we do after that is use the insights provided by the endpoints and the management console to help guide the client on what steps should be taken moving forward.

Switching to SentinelOne Singularity Complete significantly reduced our security costs. Previously, our solution was both expensive and insufficient for our needs. By moving to SentinelOne, we achieved a 40 percent cost saving. Additionally, we benefitted from time savings and increased productivity, further contributing to our overall cost reduction.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped to reduce our organizational risk by over 70 percent.  

What is most valuable?

The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable.

The automatic mitigation features are incredibly valuable. Over the past two months, receiving alerts on my laptop about mitigated attacks has been one of the key benefits. It's fantastic that I don't have to manually intervene in the mitigation process, yet I'm still informed about potential threats and assured that I'm protected.

The detailed history logs allow us to easily detect malicious behavior within the network.

What needs improvement?

I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is extremely stable in the cloud.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is highly scalable. We have had many clients easily scale their number of endpoints.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Sophos and Fortinet for the firewall but switched to SentinelOne Singularity Complete because of its more robust capability, ease of integration, and lower cost.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out as the most innovative and forward-thinking solution in the market. Through strategic acquisitions, SentinelOne has gained a distinct edge over its competitors.

How was the initial setup?

In the beginning, our technical team did not have a lot of information but once they received some guidance from SentinelOne the deployment was easy.

What was our ROI?

Easy to manage, zero-trust option and supports both Linux and macOS
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS."
  • "Also, it didn't have much incident management built in."

What is our primary use case?

It's endpoint protection that also takes care of the server.

Mainly, we [my company] have a lot of systems on Linux. So when we were looking for an EDR solution, we evaluated all three top options: SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black. We found CrowdStrike to be slightly better than SentinelOne in terms of features. But the only reason we chose SentinelOne was that its Linux agent was far superior.

We review our EDR solution every year. So far, it's been SentinelOne. Earlier, it was Trend Micro, I think. So we evaluate and change our protection software almost every year.

How has it helped my organization?

It is quite easy to manage our environment with the Singularity console.

We have policies in place to isolate any suspicious behavior from the network immediately. There's even a zero-trust option that we utilize.

Moreover, visibility into the attack surface and risk is good. It's protecting quite well. We do have incidents regularly, but no major ones at all.

When it comes to threat detection and prevention, it's quite sensitive and quite good.

We do the evaluation every year, so we always see something new that comes in. We evaluate across products and then choose the best one.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS. All SentinelOne features were equally supported across Windows, Linux, and Mac, whereas CrowdStrike was more heavy on the Windows side. They did not support all features on Linux.

The Singularity console provides a unified view. But we already had similar dashboards available to the ones we had engineered ourselves. So it's not a deal-breaker. For us, it was about supporting multiple operating systems. That was more important. So, these dashboards we have are third-party tools integrated with SentinelOne.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne could work on a more centralized dashboard.

Also, it didn't have much incident management built in.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using it all across for the last three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far, I didn't face any major issue with stability. They communicate in advance about any maintenance downtime or updates. But so far, we haven't faced any outages.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is quite seamless. We have people who work from home also. There are no issues. It scales across geographies, and we haven't had any problems.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are good. Their responses are quick. We normally interact with them only over emails or their forums.

We never had to talk to them or call anybody. It's always been emails or forums, and it's been efficient.

The forums are really good, actually. As long as you follow their forums, that's more than enough, at least for us. I don't know about others, but for us, we found that asynchronous communication is more than sufficient.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

CrowdStrike was a bit better in terms of features. They had a much more centralized dashboard for tracking, In case of investigating incidents, the evaluating mitigation plans from the community were also good. They were much more mature in those incident management scenarios. 

SentinelOne was just detection and isolation; it didn't have much incident management built in. But we have our own incident management function, so that wasn't a deal-breaker.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was quite easy and very straightforward. 

What about the implementation team?

My team is familiar with most of these products, so for them, it was a breeze. There were no issues.

We normally take an evaluation period of 45 days. That's the trial period they give, during which we test everything and then give them the results.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Overall, the price is very competitive. It's just relatively low compared to other products. The team told me it's something like 12% cheaper than CrowdStrike.

SentinelOne is much more cost-effective compared to other software because they offer a lot of flexibility in terms of licenses, which you can scale every month.

But others might have a more user-friendly, centralized console. If that's a need, then you have to pay a premium for that.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Considering what happened with CrowdStrike recently, it is all over the news. 

The main point is that if you want feature parity across Mac and Linux, they should go with SentinelOne, not CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike may be very good for Windows, but that's also in question right now. We feel SentinelOne is a little better for Windows.

You don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box
Pros and Cons
  • "The best feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that you don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box."
  • "Having an additional logic layer could improve the solution, mainly because I run multiple systems with different layers. For example, if I'm running a very important server with this agent, and that server gets infected, I may not necessarily be sure that I want to shut it down right away. Maybe I want to isolate some of the connectivity but not do the entire security remediation automatedly or curtail network access type of activity."

What is our primary use case?

My company uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete for general endpoint security. The solution is excellent at solving problems many other vendors don't solve properly. My company runs on multiple platforms and software in various environments. My company is a Microsoft company with Azure AD and many Windows computers, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete is terrific for that. The company also has MacBooks, Linux machines, and clusters of Linux containers with various distros and types. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is surprisingly good at supporting the platforms, and the enterprise needs my company has.

What is most valuable?

The best feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that you don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box.

Implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a competitive bid process. As part of the competitive bid process, SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands alone. I work for an enterprise, and the company has old software. CrowdStrike Falcon Pro is a great competitor of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but CrowdStrike Falcon Pro doesn't fit my company's needs because of its very aggressive deportation policy. If you ever run any software not in the standard manufacturer support or some support package, Crowdstrike cuts you off from updates. In real life, that doesn't work because my company builds software. Some of the company's cluster apps run on Red Hat 7, old Linux kernel,   CentOS, or other distros around that era. My company has significant old technologies that it needs to secure.

A pro of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the approach that it knows isn't the best, but it will still give you the best it has.

I also find that SentinelOne Singularity Complete gives a significant layer of security on top of SD-WAN, mandatory access control, and general information management, which is very helpful.

In assessing the solution's interoperability with other Sentinel One solutions and third-party tools, my company started utilizing Scalar and has a history of using Scalar and other providers. SentinelOne acquired Scalar, an enterprise log management platform, which is very good for the price. Scalar may not be the best platform in the world, but it's very good for the price. SentinelOne, having acquired Scalar, has gone and built an excellent integration for all logging so that you can get the SIEM logs into the Scalar pipeline and run it through a general log analysis platform, so it's unmatched.

In general, I'm pleased with the ability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete to ingest and correlate across my company's security solutions, especially with its price point. I only found very few antivirus or EDR solutions that can compete with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but I generally prefer working with the solution because of its interoperability.

Another reason why I like the solution is because it works. It doesn't require an Internet connection. The remediation is automated, and the alerting function is excellent. Support for the platform is also great, including multi-tenancy, role-based access control, and automated deployments.

I don't have much bad feedback about SentinelOne Singularity Complete, while in contrast, I've been quite disappointed by many technical aspects of other antivirus solutions, such as the Deep Instinct Antivirus. As for MSP machines, I used to work at MSP and had many problems. I also find the CrowdStrike sales representative incredibly annoying.

I find that SentinelOne Singularity Complete works pretty well for what I want, and it always hits the right price point and options that suit my company's general, overall security platform and management of that platform.

The Ranger functionality of SentinelOne Singularity Complete works well in providing network and asset visibility, especially as my company is a Microsoft Azure AD company at the core, so most of the company's Mac and Windows endpoints are managed, and monitoring the cloud ID and posture is essential. However, I don't need to check it daily because the solution manages itself well. SentinelOne Singularity Complete works very well for active directory management and posture matching.

I appreciate that the solution can consume at an API level, but I don't care as much whether it runs an agent or doesn't because I can automate agent deployment to the fleet. If the agent works, then great. An agentless solution is suitable for old platforms that don't have the most up-to-date technologies. Whenever you try to run an agent on various environments, it might not be the ideal platform for that agent so you could run into unexpected problems. Being agentless makes SentinelOne Singularity Complete better, but I wouldn't be upset if it were a good and solid agent-based solution.

In terms of how significantly the solution helped reduce alerts depends on how many alerts my company was paying attention to before and how many alerts it is paying attention to now. I'm unsure about that because one reason for implementing the SentinelOne Singularity Complete stack at the company has been to increase the security footprint and security posture. My company might have had several useless alerts before and maybe fewer alerts now, but did the company pay more attention to the alerts now? I'm unsure if the alert reduction or paying more attention to the alerts makes a difference.

About SentinelOne Singularity Complete helping to free up staff for other projects and tasks, that isn't easy to tell, as I have a team of four, and some of the work changed upon implementation. For example, instead of fighting with specific agent installs or trying to figure out how to get logs into another system, some of that workload is reduced, but now my team may be paying more attention and uses the same amount of time for alerts, remediations, or other more important aspects, so it is possible that the amount of time spent after the SentinelOne Singularity Complete implementation wasn't really reduced. That would depend on your perspective.

As to SentinelOne Singularity Complete helping the company reduce the mean time to detect, my company didn't record the mean time to detect before implementing the solution. I feel that it is effective, but right now, I don't have a basis of comparison that allows me to point to that periodically says my company reduced the meantime to detect or that it was increased by some percentage.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has been very effective in helping reduce organizational risk for my company, especially regarding budgetary footprint. The solution has been very effective at what it does and has helped reduce the company's cyber insurance premium. My company is a SOC 2-certified institute and has to go through an annual compliance process with auditors, so going through and being able to explain and show how the company has automated and deployed solutions and minimized its risk profile has been very helpful.

The company I work with now spends slightly less than it did and gets more value from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Though the cost may not be that different from others, the value provided by the solution is very different. In the past, my company had several decentralized alerts and platforms. Still, after implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, the solution could bring and tie them together through an automated platform. It works, and when it comes to enterprise security, for every company you work for, you're not the one who built that network or solution. You have no idea what's going on, so your ability to maintain control relies on understanding the threat surface and how to control it, which SentinelOne Singularity Complete is good at.

My background is in Linux administration, and I've gone through several security tools over the years. I built out mandatory access controls and messy Linux policies. I've worked with a lot of different companies over time. SentinelOne Singularity Complete supports Linux systems really well, which is crucial because I work for a company that builds software with an ecosystem of applications, cluster apps, and containers on Linux.

Some other solutions were stuck a decade ago, particularly running Windows and .NET and other affordable systems, and though I love Windows and Mac, those are user endpoints, and endpoints extend beyond user endpoints, for example, endpoints include servers and the full scope of internet-connected devices in a company.

If you're trying to implement a zero-trust framework and a system resilient to failure across a Swiss cheese layer of multiple problems. In that case, finding one solution capable of dealing with that kind of threat is complicated. You look at Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft has improved its security over the last decade. Obviously, Microsoft still has ways to go, given that it still keeps losing its signing keys. Still, the reality is that, similar to Windows and Azure, Microsoft has improved its security footprint. Microsoft Defender went from being a joke of a product to a very viable solution. That's great, but I can't run that on Mac, and I can't run that on Linux clusters.

Looking at CrowdStrike Falcon Pro, it is a great product. It has a very annoying sales team, but it is excellent. The problem in enterprise, however, is that sometimes, you have to run old technology, and when you cut off the solution from working on old technology, that's not helpful and makes everything worse, so I appreciate the aspect of SentinelOne Singularity Complete supporting even the old technology my company is on, which is a significant differentiator that is very useful about the platform.

When you think of Carbon Black and VMware, each platform is good, works quite well on Mac and Windows, and has some capabilities, but the level is not the same as SentinelOne Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be a stand-alone product versus other products.

If you're running a decent company, you should be able to invest in security and be willing to spend whatever it takes to have a very competent solution. Since I control the budget, SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides more value for the dollars spent and a more cohesive structure than what you can get from other solutions.

I'm unsure if SentinelOne Singularity Complete is amazingly the best, but it's the best overall product because it fits my company's needs. I work for a SaaS building enterprise company that does financial transactions, which has public internet-facing applications that get constantly attacked. If I can't run a comprehensive security product across all systems, I'd have to look in three different places, which means I lose some of that robust information. I lose some of that ability to correlate threats and figure out what's happening, and so do automated platforms. An automated platform can lose the ability to correlate the different events it doesn't know about, and this is where SentinelOne Singularity Complete really shines. It's a cohesive, widespread solution that's great in various aspects.

In terms of being innovative, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is quite innovative. I grew up with the internet and have seen different generations of security products and ideas. When SentinelOne Singularity Complete came to market, it was significantly different than the other solutions. SentinelOne could either be acquired or build very useful products, taking interoperability between different products to a level you won't find in other companies.

With how my company uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete and the Scalar platform for all its servers, the company logs into Scalar and runs alerts and rejects, flags alerts, and also gets to ingest all SIEM logs from SentinelOne Singularity Complete into Scalar, and then gets automated alerts. This means that my company gets multiple layers of visibility across its stack and analysis pipeline. My company then gets to log push to S3 after the hot tier access is over, which means it gets to retain all security alerts and problems for up to seven years, just in case, which is essential for a financial services company like the one I work for. Doing that is much more complex with other solutions versus SentinelOne Singularity Complete, so I chose it because, currently, it is the best.

I care about aspects that other people don't care about, such as supporting old Linux distros and being able to run the solution in some weird cloud environments easily. I care about SentinelOne Singularity Complete working with my company's log analysis platform, which makes the process easier.

What needs improvement?

It's difficult to pinpoint areas for improvement in SentinelOne Singularity Complete because I always like to see certain aspects. Still, if I look into the EDR solution itself, I don't have many negative thoughts about it, as it is very good.

If something could be improved in the solution, I'd say better pricing, as I'd always take better pricing. I would appreciate lower pricing. The lower the pricing, the easier it is for me to sell it. A solution with lower pricing tends to sell itself at some point.

Building a more advanced "if this, then that" logic in SentinelOne Singularity Complete, in terms of when to cold shutdown, particularly when it detects a threat, would isolate it from the network, could be an improvement. There could be a better way of saying "yes" or "no" to doing an action or specific actions unless it's one of the exceptions on your list. Having an additional logic layer could improve the solution, mainly because I run multiple systems with different layers. For example, if I'm running a very important server with this agent, and that server gets infected, I may not necessarily be sure that I want to shut it down right away. Maybe I want to isolate some of the connectivity but not do the entire security remediation automatedly or curtail network access type of activity.

If I could have a more advanced control layer where I could say, "Hey, I want to do that on almost every system, but these systems are so important, and they have to keep running, so maybe if there is a problem, you can do these things instead," then that would make SentinelOne Singularity Complete better.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been onboarding SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our primary EDR solution this year.

We implemented Scalar last year as the first step, and then it became a natural step to move as we wanted to have all of our logs flow into our general login analysis platform so that we could build and consume our own software platform. We build many SaaS apps, and we have about a thousand web servers facing the Internet, so what better way to analyze all of these than to get our internal logs, such as browser, local events, and all of the data into one place and one data plane?

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I haven't run into many problems with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, except for one case where the agent was short-cycle restarting, but that was due to some problems I caused. I can't really complain about that.

I wouldn't say I liked the SELinux policy that you force out over Ansible configurations, which naturally conflicted with the SentinelOne Singularity Complete agent. Still, once that got flagged and tagged, it was fine.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the stability of the solution, which was why my company implemented it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a scalable solution, which is another reason my company chose it.

How are customer service and support?

I don't contact technical support very often, but when I have, I haven't been disappointed. For example, the Scalar data center team has provided excellent technical support whenever I've asked for help with query matching strings and building RigX, so I'm very happy.

I found the technical support for SentinelOne Singularity Complete very good, and I'd probably reach out to the support team with more questions, which the team would probably answer.

My rating for technical support is nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we used Microsoft Defender, but I also used SentinelOne Singularity Complete in a former company. I like it a lot, and that's part of why my company uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete now. 

How was the initial setup?

Deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete didn't take long for a small global company like ours. My company has offices in the US, Canada, France, and India, and working between different locales took more time, but generally, the process didn't take very long, as it only took about two weeks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a commercial solution that I found easy to implement, which is another reason my company paid for a commercial solution.

What about the implementation team?

Myself and two other people were involved in the deployment.

What was our ROI?

In terms of getting ROI from SentinelOne Singularity Complete, some factors must be considered. There is a requirement for a few layers to start with. My company has to spend some money just as a baseline.

One requirement is to be SOC 2 compliant, which means an auditor will come in and ask about the company's antivirus software, whether it's running an EDR, including analyzing logs.

Another player is the cyber risk insurance, as the company tries to get the premiums as low as possible and takes security as seriously as possible, by demonstrating to insurance partners that the company is a very low risk in terms of threats becoming problems.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, mainly based on adjustments to your premium, which either raises or lowers the price, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is quite effective.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is aggressively priced compared to smaller solutions. Still, in the past, as I worked for a SentinelOne reseller partner that deployed SentinelOne solutions to a lot of different customers, I was able to appreciate its capabilities and full features, which is part of the reason my company has implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

The solution is a bit cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro and more expensive than smaller solutions. Still, it has a pretty reasonable pricing point, as I appreciate the flexibility SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers. I haven't been disappointed with its pricing because I'm more of a "not everything cheaper is better" person. It's not better if it makes the worst product.

I'm very satisfied with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, especially its price because I've worked with various companies. Yet, I found that no one provides a really good solution for the price except for SentinelOne.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

When I started at this company, an MSP recommended a legacy type of antivirus, and I felt it was not up to par with what SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an excellent enterprise product with an excellent price point that's hard to argue with in terms of results and efficiency per dollar spent, so it's a no-brainer.

What other advice do I have?

My company is mainly a cloud-based company. Very few solutions in the company have been deployed on-premises.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is managed across different layers and all verticals, such as the web, firewall, etc.

Between two hundred to two thousand five hundred people use SentinelOne Singularity Complete within the company.

My rating for SentinelOne Singularity Complete overall is a nine out of ten. I don't give tens because there's always room for improvement, but the solution is pretty good.

Excellent threat detection, easy to deploy, and helps save time
Pros and Cons
  • "We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."
  • "The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for its end-to-end detection and response capabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

We started using SentinelOne Singularity Complete because I wanted to eliminate a number of our existing first-generation tools, which were designed primarily for on-premises use cases. I wanted to move to our new set of tools, which were designed predominantly for cloud deployment and cloud infrastructure. There were two primary drivers for this decision: to reduce complexity and cost and to move to a solution that was specifically designed for our new architecture.

One of the main reasons we bought SentinelOne was for its integration capabilities. We don't have a standalone tool to supplement our overall security architecture. This includes our security data link, analytics layer, and intelligence capabilities. So that was really one of the primary reasons.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete excels at ingesting and correlating data across the security solutions that it has visibility into.

It has helped consolidate two of our security solutions.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped our organization by boosting our confidence in our ability to detect and respond to the broadest range of threats, reducing noise in our security operations capability and resulting in fewer false positives than ever before.

It helped reduce our alerts by around 60 percent per day. SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped free up 20 percent of our staff's time to work on other projects.

Although I do not have data to support the claim, SentinelOne Singularity Complete should reduce MTTD. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTR. It has saved us around 18 percent of our costs.

What is most valuable?

I find two features particularly valuable. First, deployment is much simpler than with other solutions with similar capabilities. Second, the fidelity of the detections is excellent. We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne plans to integrate its endpoint agents, but the process is slow. The company has multiple agents with different functions, such as the ED Ranger, and each agent has different actual clients. Combining the endpoint agents would be a good step.

The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic. It does not use objects and different device types to create a single object that can be easily managed. There is a significant amount of work to be done on the firewall side.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for almost seven months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support has been excellent so far.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Tanium and Symantec, two separate sets of tools. Tanium is a first-generation tool that is not specifically designed for the cloud. It requires a significant amount of manual effort to configure and manage, rather than automate these tasks. Symantec does its job, but we are essentially buying two tools to do what SentinelOne Singularity Complete can do on its own. Therefore, the switch to SentinelOne is primarily a cost-saving measure.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward. The entire deployment took 16 weeks, with eight weeks spent deploying the endpoints and eight weeks spent deploying the service. A total of 20 people were required for the deployment.

What was our ROI?

We are beginning to see a return on investment in SentinelOne Singularity Complete due to the reduced number of alerts in the operations center and the high-fidelity data.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete an eight out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a really mature product and seems to be focused on enhancing core capability and not getting distracted by other stuff.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed across our entire estate. We have around 10,000 endpoints.

It requires maintenance, such as builds, policies, and other related tasks. We have a team of four responsible for maintenance and another three people for day-to-day operations.

They have stepped up as a strategic security partner.

I recommend organizations do a proper proof of concept with the SentinelOne Singularity Complete in their environment using their tools and their people.
