Uses AI technology, so it rapidly finds new and existing malware; offers excellent technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "It uses AI technology so it can find known and unknown threats. It is stable and provides one of the best technical support."
  • "One disadvantage of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that the agent doesn't auto-update, and my company found it more complicated than usual to get the agent updated and keep it updated."

What is our primary use case?

I use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for endpoint protection and remediation. It protects all computers in my company and sends real-time alerts about malware, viruses, etc., that may have found a way through all of my company's defenses.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has benefited my organization through its rapid ability to find new and existing malware that I must act on. As the solution uses AI technology, it's able to find both known and unknown threats.

My organization realized the benefits from SentinelOne Singularity Complete quickly from the time of deployment.

What is most valuable?

What I found most valuable in SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the ability to connect to the terminal remotely. The solution is pretty handy because it allows my company to do investigations and whatnot, wherever the person may be. After all, I belong to a hybrid organization, which means you never know if someone will be in the office.

It is another tool in the tool belt for looking at some of the files, which means that even if the file is not a virus, you can go in and do some investigation.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has excellent interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions, including third-party tools. I was pleasantly surprised with how in-depth the APIs go because it's almost integrated with my company's SOAR solution, consolidating all alerts in one place and triangulating more per case. In my company, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is integrated with a third-party tool.

My impression of the ability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete to ingest and correlate data across security solutions is good so far, though right now, my company only set up SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Still, it's good that the integration option exists because, in the future, who knows? My company might do some integration depending on what the timing allows.

My company has not consolidated solutions yet because SentinelOne Singularity Complete is just one of the many tools used within my company. It's a helpful tool, but it's not the only player.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped free up staff for other projects and tasks and is time-saving, though I don't have specific data on that.

The tool has also helped reduce my organization's mean time to detect. However, I can't give an approximation just because SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the only solution my organization uses. The tool has also helped reduce my organization's mean time to respond because, together with the SOAR solution, SentinelOne Singularity Complete allows my company to go in and correlate everything to find out where the threat came from, so my company can go in and take the appropriate measures to shut down threats more reliably.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce organizational risk because it's one of the modern architecture tools, which gives more confidence in the detections my company sees. The tool also reduces the number of false positives and false negatives, so my company knows that if the tool shows a hit, then that truly warrants further investigation.

I'd give SentinelOne Singularity Complete an eight out of ten in terms of its ability to innovate because it's very much on par with a few other options out there, though I can't recall the names right now.

SentinelOne is an excellent strategic security partner that quickly incorporates my organization's feedback. My organization hasn't had any problems. If my team is looking for a feature, for example, SentinelOne either edits a roadmap or makes the change pretty quickly if there's bandwidth.

What needs improvement?

They say there is an investigation function in the interface of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but it's not absolutely available for use. It's a function I've been looking for, but my company can't use it yet for some reason, so this is an area for improvement.

Another area for improvement in the tool is the larger learning curve that stems from it being full-featured, so there's a more significant learning curve in figuring out the environment versus using a more traditional antivirus. It's a lot more than just installing it on the machines.

The other disadvantage of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that the agent doesn't auto-update, and my company found it more complicated than usual to get the agent updated and keep it updated.

SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint
June 2026
Learn what your peers think about SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: June 2026.
904,680 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six months as an end user.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We didn't have any problems with the stability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For the most part, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable, but with my company's problem with auto-updates, it just means needing to rely on other tools to get new agents pushed out to the endpoints. It would have been better and more scalable if there was a way to update on the directory.

How are customer service and support?

We found the technical support for SentinelOne Singularity Complete one of the best we've ever had to deal with, surprisingly, so we'd rate it as ten out of ten. If we open a ticket, we'll typically get some answers quickly, but for more complex issues, we have standing meetings with them that are set once a week so that they can go more in-depth.

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

My current organization only uses SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but in my previous organizations, more traditional antivirus was used, like BitDefender, and it was fine.

With SentinelOne Singularity Complete, I'm more confident that it can detect threats better and will miss fewer incidents coming in because of the more modern ways it detects malware.

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved in the entire setup process for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, but it was mostly straightforward. However, getting the agents onto the machines was more complicated than the team would have liked.

The team started with a test machine and then expanded after issues arose, including figuring out how to fix the issues.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete in-house, with the support of the SentinelOne team, whenever we had questions.

What was our ROI?

I have seen ROI from SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

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

I have no information on the pricing or licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I wasn't involved in evaluating solutions, so I'm unsure if the company evaluated other solutions before choosing SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

What other advice do I have?

The organization I'm working for doesn't use the Ranger function of SentinelOne Singularity Complete. It uses a homegrown solution for network visibility.

I don't believe SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts within the company, and it's not because it can't but because the SOAR solution handles the alerts and sends the alerts. Still, there is potential to improve the process.

I've not observed cost reduction or money saved from SentinelOne Singularity Complete just because it's such a small aspect in the grand scheme of things. It's tough to put a number on that.

Many people were involved in deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete for the organization.

I'm the one maintaining the solution, and for my organization, in terms of scale, one person is sufficient to maintain SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

The solution is deployed on three thousand endpoints worldwide on both MacOS and Windows machines, along with an agent on the servers.

I advise others looking into implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete to be prepared to work with the SentinelOne support team. Implementation is not hard to do, but the support team is there to help with much of the work and is happy to help. My standard advice is to ensure you're also checking out other providers. Just because the solution works for my organization, it doesn't mean it will work for yours. You have to find a solution that checks all the boxes for your organization.

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

Worth the money, supports legacy endpoints, and blocks anything even remotely malicious
Pros and Cons
  • "The terminating or killing remediation process that they use is top-notch. Pretty much anything that is even remotely malicious gets blocked by it within seconds. That is important for us. We have thousands of endpoints with tens of thousands of users. It is hard to do good security for that many people without some kind of automated detection and response. That is what SentinelOne does for us. It helps us automate that process."
  • "Some of the reports that are exported through SentinelOne can be complicated for people who are not IT professionals. For example, we have some people within our leadership who would like to know why we are spending so much money on their product, and one of the ways that we are able to do that is through reports. Some of those reports are pretty easy to understand, and some of them are very complicated. Because they are not IT or security professionals, they may not have the same grasp. I wish their reporting feature was a little better."

What is our primary use case?

We have it hooked up to our LogRhythm SIEM, which keeps track of all the events that are happening all around. That has been really helpful for us. We have SentinelOne Ranger that scans for devices on our network and finds the ones that do not have SentinelOne or the machines that we call rogues. The other function that we use is Deep Visibility. We pay for that, and it allows us to hunt for threats within our environment. It is also very important. We don't use Deep Visibility very often, but it is one of the more important things that we have in terms of the selection of products we pay for.

One of the big reasons we use it is for its ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions. By virtue of going after an incident, we need to see step by step what happened. We have network solutions that show us where things came from network-wise. We have a vulnerability scanner for something that gets exploited, and then we have SentinelOne to see what is actually happening on machines. Maybe a process was launched. Maybe a file was clicked or an email was opened. That is a big part of how we use the tool.

How has it helped my organization?

Prior to having SentinelOne, we had CrowdStrike, which is a similar product. We decided to make the switch to SentinelOne because the biggest problem was that the previous endpoint detection response software we had did not support what we call legacy endpoints. Anything prior to Windows 7 was not supported by CrowdStrike. Being a manufacturing firm, we have quite a few old devices. That was one of the big things that sold us. SentinelOne also had significantly more competitive pricing than CrowdStrike, but the ability to protect older endpoints was the main motivating factor for us to make this switch.

We have been able to consolidate our security solutions. We had a handful of different solutions. SentinelOne Ranger scans for things. We used to have a product that did that, and we got rid of that. For deep visibility, we used to have a piece of software on each machine for historical data and events and things of that nature. We were able to get rid of that. Having an antivirus is also not really necessary because it is a next-generation AI-based antivirus. It does antivirus tasks, and it reduces the need for our traditional antivirus such as Kaspersky, Symantec, McAfee, etc. We were able to get rid of those as well, which is a good thing.

We have turned on the Ranger functionality. It is used for asset discovery, but only within a certain range and only if there are a certain number of machines. The way our settings are, if we have a cluster of five machines around it, it will essentially send out a signal and try to find the one without it. If we have five machines in our organization, it will look to see which one does not have SentinelOne around it. It can be helpful to find machines that were not deployed properly. It can also be helpful to find machines that were deployed by malicious actors and things of that nature. It also helps us to identify machines that have SentinelOne but are not responding right now.

It is a pretty big deal that Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. We have deployed SentinelOne completely. There is probably no machine in our network that does not have it unless it has a very specific use case. Ranger helps us find those if they do exist. If need be, there is a setting within Ranger for deploying SentinelOne through Ranger. We have it turned off, but it is still useful. It is something we could use one day.

We typically use Ranger for vulnerability and not necessarily for the prevention of vulnerabilities, but it does give us a good idea of what is out there. For example, there is someone who is trying to do something malicious. It will heartbeat that, and it will see what is happening around that. If it sees, for example, command and control or something like that, it will identify it. It might quarantine it or turn your machine off to stop things.

Singularity Complete has helped to reduce alerts. One of the things we struggle with over time is trying to identify what is and what is not a real threat. It did take some tuning, but we went from having to investigate every little thing to being able to say, "Okay. This is a false positive. We know this. We have had this in our environment. We can exclude that." That frees up time for other things, so we can spend time focusing on malicious or bad things happening in our environment. We can work on projects and do some of the actual engineering.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. We do not have to sit there and constantly monitor, which means that we can go ahead and do other things. We have a vulnerability scanner that we can use to start patching and tackling some of those vulnerabilities. We have our SIEM that we need to monitor for events and activities as well. We have network logs that should be gone through more. Because we have something that takes care of our endpoints, we can look at the focus of our business and do things there instead of having to worry about each machine individually.

The biggest thing that SentinelOne does is that it is constantly looking at our environment and other environments as a baseline of what should be happening or what could be happening. If something does not match the specific idea of what should be happening, it detects that and blocks that. If it is not sure what to do exactly, it quarantines a file or a folder or something like that until we have a chance to look at it. That is better than something getting through and causing damage before we can do anything about it. As long as a machine is connected to the network, it is pretty instant, but depending on what it is doing, it might take a little bit. There are some functions within it that do take a little more time to work. For example, the remediate and rollback functions do take time to work, but if it sees something as malicious, it will kill and quarantine that within a fraction of a second.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. There is the part where it kills and quarantines things that are happening on machines, but there is also an element of visibility. Being able to see what we have gives us a better idea of what risks we have. From an inventory standpoint, everything is synced the second we deploy the image machine. Through that, we are able to see what is running on them, what they have installed, and things of that nature. We get a more holistic idea of what we actually have so that we know what to protect.

What is most valuable?

The terminating or killing remediation process that they use is top-notch. Pretty much anything that is even remotely malicious gets blocked by it within seconds. That is important for us. We have thousands of endpoints with tens of thousands of users. It is hard to do good security for that many people without some kind of automated detection and response. That is what SentinelOne does for us. It helps us automate that process.

What needs improvement?

Some of the reports that are exported through SentinelOne can be complicated for people who are not IT professionals. For example, we have some people within our leadership who would like to know why we are spending so much money on their product, and one of the ways that we are able to do that is through reports. Some of those reports are pretty easy to understand, and some of them are very complicated. Because they are not IT or security professionals, they may not have the same grasp. I wish their reporting feature was a little better. If they were able to export and make it a little more presentable, it would be great because this is something that we end up doing on our end where we take some of that data and make it look better. It would definitely save us time if it was a little prettier, for lack of a better word, from the beginning.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using it for two and a half to three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

As far as I know, and I am the only one out of our three time zones who uses the tool, I have never had an issue with it. The only time we ever had problems was when someone made a change to some of the roles, but it was not a SentinelOne issue. For the most part, as long as you have set up the tool correctly, it functions pretty much 100%. I cannot think of a time when it was down.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We started out by having it deployed on a handful of machines as a proof of concept. From there, we were able to replicate it over and over in our environment. We are currently licensed for around 7,000 devices, and they made it pretty clear to us that if we decide to improve that or increase that, it would be a seamless process. They will just bump our licenses up and then we pay a little bit more. There is no real pain associated with that where you have to go back to the table, talk, and do things like that. It is a flip of a switch.

How are customer service and support?

They were very helpful. They were knowledgeable. They definitely used the tool before. The questions they asked were good. They knew what logs to ask for. They knew what question to ask. They were pretty good. I would rate them a ten out of ten. They were knowledgeable. They were helpful. The turnaround time is good. They want to resolve the issue, and they are there to help.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We had CrowdStrike. We switched because of two things. One was the price. CrowdStrike was expensive, and the other thing was that we needed to protect legacy devices. As a manufacturing company, we have a lot of old software and hardware in our environment, and CrowdStrike did not protect those devices. We either had to come up with a solution where we network quarantine those machines or have them segmented somewhere so that they do not talk to anything else, or we just get SentinelOne and they function the same and require no extra work. As long as it is on there, it is protecting them, and it is much cheaper.

How was the initial setup?

We have it almost entirely hosted in the cloud. We do deploy it via the deployment software that we use to deploy to our endpoints. We do have it in the cloud as well that we run through the command line and then point it to our management console, but we do not have it hosted on-premises. We like the idea of having things in the cloud at least for the specific instance.

I was not involved in its deployment. I came here a little bit later, but I got to talk to some of the people afterward. I am part of the deployment now, but I missed the boat by a handful of months.

It is pretty straightforward. The way it works is that you get what is called the management console URL, which is essentially when you install it, it tells you who the device belongs to. You put in your URL, you run a command from it on an executable, and then from there, it is on your machine. It is pretty straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The number of people involved in the deployment varies. We are a multi-continent and multi-country organization, so we had somewhere between 15 and 20 people working on it. In terms of the people who actually use it, there are probably five or six. We have one person who constantly works to deploy within North America and one person who works to deploy in APAC. We personally work to deploy it within EMEA and then the rest of it is us just working on maintaining it and making sure it is doing what it is supposed to be doing.

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

We previously had a different EDR solution called CrowdStrike, which was very robust but also very expensive. It did not have the features we were looking for from a legacy standpoint. My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne.

It has gotten more expensive over time, but we have also gotten more features and value out of it. They have added things to it. From a pricing standpoint, it is expensive. It is one of the more expensive tools we have, but it also does more than almost every other tool that we have in our environment, so it makes sense.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We reevaluated CrowdStrike and realized that it was just not going to work for our purposes. I believe we looked at Sophos and Carbon Black. Carbon Black is a VMware product, and Sophos is a similar EDR solution.

What other advice do I have?

From a quality standpoint, if you are willing to take the time to implement it and implement it well, it is a fantastic product. It is a massive part of our security posture. If you are looking to switch, doing a proof of concept will probably be good enough to make you realize the value it has. Sometimes, in the demos from vendors, you see the kind of things happening that are supposed to happen. It is, of course, going to block them, but during our proof of concept, we threw in different scenarios at it, and it handled every single one pretty flawlessly. That is a big part of why we ended up choosing it.

If you were a company that has legacy devices, it is a no-brainer as far as EDR solutions are concerned. If you are looking forward to an EDR solution in general, and you do not have legacy devices, SentinelOne is incredibly competitive. It has a lot of great features. It is priced very competitively. Their support is great, and the tool works. It does take some fine-tuning, but the tool works very well.

As a strategic security partner, SentinelOne is always trying to get us to work with some of their partners as well. From an integration standpoint, it does give us some options going forward where if, for example, we wanted to use a mobile device solution, they do have some integration with them. If you are a part of their ecosystem and you have a tool that you are interested in, they will let you know whether they have a partner that they work with. They will let you know that they have this tool. It works so far, and if you have a question or something like that, they can get you acquainted, which I appreciate.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten. It is probably my favorite security tool from the ones we have.

Works on machine learning, reduces risk, and saves time
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
  • "We are not utilizing all the features available with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, including the built-in XDR and Ranger, due to the substantial associated costs."

What is our primary use case?

We utilize SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an EDR and MDR solution for both our clients and internal operations.

We wanted to offer our clients a next-generation, AI-based antivirus solution for their endpoints, which is why we opted for SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

How has it helped my organization?

We incorporate SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a component of our multifaceted cybersecurity approach. Therefore, its capability for integration, as well as its capacity for data ingestion into NXDR, holds great significance for us.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete functions effectively in ingesting and correlating data across all our security solutions. While we employ an additional SOAR for more extensive correlation, SentinelOne Singularity Complete performs exceptionally well at the endpoint.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is utilized as a component of our Managed Detection and Response service, resulting in a reduction in the number of alerts forwarded to us.

It helps free up our staff to focus on other projects.

SentinelOne has helped reduce our MTTD. It has also helped reduce our MTTR.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps our organization save money through pass-through cost savings.

It helps reduce the risk for our organization.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus. This is essential for effectively stopping malware attacks.

What needs improvement?

We are not utilizing all the features available with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, including the built-in XDR and Ranger, due to the substantial associated costs. There is potential for improvement in the cost aspect.

The area in which I would recommend SentinelOne to continue progressing is focused on enhancing its product. This involves not only internal development but also strategic partnerships similar to the Wiz integration which brings a lot of value.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. The downtime has been minimal.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution has met all of our scaling requirements.

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

I previously used ESET and McAfee. We sometimes still use Microsoft Defender for some use cases and we have some clients that still prefer to use CrowdStrike.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation is carried out in collaboration with our partner, ConnectWise. While we handle the agent deployment, they manage all the configurations.

What was our ROI?

If we weren't using any protective measures, and we were consistently experiencing security breaches, this would result in an exponential level of risk when compared to an alternative solution. Expressing this concept can be quite challenging. How would we even identify if a breach has occurred? Typically, we'd notice something like data encryption taking place. 

So, I believe implementing robust cybersecurity measures is an essential aspect of operating in any technology-dependent field today. It's essentially become a fundamental requirement. That's how we perceive its significance in the present day. Therefore, we communicate this necessity to all our clients and that is where the return on investment can be perceived by using SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

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

The cost of utilizing all the features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high.

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete EDR and MDR endpoint agent is a fantastic product. We layer that with other solutions as opposed to only using SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne is undoubtedly a market leader, and I believe it offers a comprehensive and excellent solution. It is on par with other next-generation or AI-based antivirus solutions available in the marketplace.

Depending on the organization's current solution, if they are transitioning from a product like ESET, then the approach to antivirus will be completely different. If they are transitioning from CrowdStrike, I believe the change will be less significant. Testing needs to be conducted, but I anticipate that they can observe immediate value from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Furthermore, I am confident that they can deploy it without significant concerns about increased risk. Personally, I have never been worried about introducing additional risk by using SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete serves as our everyday Endpoint Defense solution. We oversee daily detections and manage Sentinels, workstations, and servers. We strive to safeguard our assets and environment, while also defending against malicious processes and files.

How has it helped my organization?

We utilize Visions and its services. Visions and SentinelOne Singularity Complete are closely linked because we are now monitoring not only our products, endpoints, and environment, but we have also engaged Visions as a form of Managed Security Services Provider. Another aspect I find particularly valuable is their API. As a result, we've seamlessly integrated this solution with our SIEM system, which is functioning effectively. This is undoubtedly a tool that we employ, both in conjunction with Visions and our SIEM products.

It's capability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions is impressive. I utilize tools such as Visions and Sentinel whenever I need to access or retrieve any telemetry. These tools, along with the enhanced visibility they provide, enable me to proactively conduct threat intelligence, explore my environment, and query assets generating alerts.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has assisted us in streamlining our security solutions. We now possess the capability to identify malicious threats, and the system will automatically safeguard the relevant information, quarantine the threats, and revert any alterations made by the threat. 

It has effectively defended our environment against numerous malicious actors. With a membership of over ten thousand, the solutions help safeguard their data effectively.

Singularity Complete has helped us reduce the number of alerts we receive by approximately 30 percent. The false positive issue has been addressed by working with Visions. We remediate these issues and then classify them as false positives, rather than repeatedly receiving alerts as in other solutions. As a result, we now experience fewer alerts than initially expected from day one. 

It has assisted in releasing our staff to focus on other projects and tasks. Visions reviews all alerts, forwarding only the true positives to my team for investigation and response.

The agents are live, so our Mean Time To Detect is in real-time.

Our mean time to respond is in real-time. If an issue is escalated by Visions, we receive it instantly. Once it's recorded on the disk, it promptly gets escalated to them. They detect it, review the matter, and subsequently escalate it to us. Then, we review it together, all in real time. There is no downtime during which we have to wait.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete certainly reduces costs for our organization, as we need fewer personnel and don't have to involve numerous analysts due to the presence of Visions. It has also decreased our organization's risk by approximately 30 percent.

What is most valuable?

I appreciate the network control as well as the device control. These two features are truly excellent. I occasionally utilize the custom rules as well.

What needs improvement?

I would love to see improvement in the integration of SentinelOne Singularity Complete and Visions to better utilize the information we receive.

The browser extension for SentinelOne Hunter is a product designed for monitoring and detecting at a browser level. This library is widely recognized. It should not only detect incidents but also proactively block them within the browser environment. Therefore, I would appreciate seeing the browser extension react more effectively to events, going beyond mere detection.

Protects endpoints, reasonably priced, and provides network and asset visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "The Ranger feature is valuable."
  • "The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for endpoint protection. Our clients are fintech companies, banks, and other organizations. The tool helps to pick up malicious files in the endpoint and protects the endpoint.

What is most valuable?

The Ranger feature is valuable. It helps us manage variable assets in our environment. The endpoints and nodes have SentinelOne engines on them.

What needs improvement?

The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console. Using SentinelOne Management Console to patch applications will be quite useful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for 3 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution's stability 7 out of 10. I've only had issues with the agents once. I reported it through the management console.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We use the solution in endpoints in different departments across the organization. The tool does not require maintenance. We can auto-update it from SentinelOne Management Console. We can push the auto-update agent from the console. I rate the solution's scalability 9 out of 10.

How are customer service and support?

The support personnel always want to share links instead of joining sessions. Getting them on sessions that would probably help resolve the situation is quite hard. They don't always want to do it. That's the only issue I have with them. When we raise a support case, they get back to us and point us to a link to a community guide or solution. They don't respond quickly if the problem requires us to join a virtual session.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not complex. The deployment takes about 30 minutes. It is quite fast.

What was our ROI?

Our customers have seen an ROI on the product. It takes them 4 months to see ROI.

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

The tool's price is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

We are partners and resellers. Singularity Complete’s interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions is fine. I've been able to push logs into our SIEM solution. We used our API. It was quite easy to do. The API token expires, so we have to regenerate and integrate it.

The solution’s ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions is quite fast. I don't have any issues with it. The Ranger functionality provides network and asset visibility. It's quite important. We can identify when endpoints that are not permitted or allowed on the network are active. It helps us isolate or deploy an agent on the endpoints. It's quite useful.

Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It is used for existing agents or endpoints. We can also identify neighboring endpoints that do not have agents. It's easy because we do not have to do any additional configurations. It leverages the current agents that we have deployed across endpoints. It's a good feature. We need not deploy another agent to work for Ranger.

A computer that doesn't have an agent is vulnerable to exploits. When Ranger helps to find the computer and network, it helps to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised. We can identify and isolate the computer and deploy the agent on it. Singularity Complete does not reduce alerts.

The solution saves deployment time. We can push agents from the management console to the endpoint. It will save us time from physically going to the endpoint and installing the agent ourselves. The product reduces MTTD by 20%. The product reduces MTTR by 20%.

If an endpoint gets compromised, we will have to spend money. The tool generally helps us stay safe and protects computers. Thus, the solution reduces costs in the long run. Unprotected endpoints are risky endpoints. Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.

Singularity Complete is quite a good tool. I'm quite confident in its ability to detect threats. It is good to have SentinelOne as a strategic security partner. People planning to use the tool must go for it. It's a good solution. It does what it claims.

Overall, I rate the product 8 out of 10.

Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are asset tracking, patching, endpoint tagging, and policy updates."
  • "While SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively visualizes security data across our solutions, requiring extensive manual effort for analysis limits its effectiveness. I would therefore rate it a seven out of ten."

What is our primary use case?

We initially implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to streamline application installation and patching across our extensive network of over a thousand systems. Managing individual systems has become increasingly challenging. While the platform provided initial visibility during the first attack, its usefulness in further investigation proved limited.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete boasts good interoperability.

It has helped consolidate some of our security solutions.

While the number of security alerts we receive has been successfully reduced, it has occasionally missed some threats. To address this, we have implemented Microsoft Defender alongside SentinelOne for additional protection. This layered approach has identified several malware incidents that SentinelOne, due to its limitations at the kernel level, did not detect.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has to an extent helped free up our staff time to focus on other tasks. In conjunction with Defender and Automox 60 to 70% of time has been saved.

Our mean time to detect has been successfully reduced by 70%.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our mean time to respond to threats it detects by providing informative feedback from malware reviews.

Our costs have been reduced because we use it daily.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our organization's risk by 80%.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are asset tracking, patching, endpoint tagging, and policy updates.

What needs improvement?

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively visualizes security data across our solutions, requiring extensive manual effort for analysis limits its effectiveness. I would therefore rate it a seven out of ten.

The pricing has room for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of Singularity Complete a seven out of ten because of the integrations they have with third-party groups.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is quick to respond.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We previously used Automox only for device management, not as a complete EDR.

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's price point is excessive compared to the functionality it provides.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's longevity in the market may have created an inflated perception of its capabilities. While it was once considered a leading tool, comparisons with newer solutions like Automox, Cynet, and Fortinet reveal a lack of active use cases and functionalities offered by these competitors.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

I haven't observed significant innovation from SentinelOne Singularity Complete lately. Other than obtaining the database, I haven't noticed any new features or third-party integrations being introduced. This leads me to believe that there may not be a high level of ongoing innovation at the moment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed across thousands of instances and endpoints in different countries across multiple offices in Europe.

The only maintenance required is for updates to the endpoints.

While SentinelOne offers valuable security protection, it may not be sufficient as a standalone solution. Relying solely on Singularity Complete for a week-long absence might leave our system vulnerable to threats that other Endpoint Detection and Response solutions could identify.

Helps save costs, and ingest and correlate data across our security solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are threat hunting, the ability to disconnect or disable a machine's network connection in real time, and the ability to restore the connection once the issue is resolved quickly."
  • "Singularity Complete needs to improve its ability to granularly select and extract the executable files that I want to run."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our EDR to monitor our network. We incorporated SentinelOne Singularity Complete into our SIEM to mitigate threats.

We implemented it because we needed more insight into the interactions that occurred on our endpoints.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's interoperability with third-party tools enables seamless data exchange and effortless information extraction or export between them.

Its ability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions simplifies the process considerably. It's akin to pulling data into a SIEM and correlating timestamps, IP addresses, MAC addresses, and any other metric that would link the two machines.

It helps reduce alerts which is one of the things that attracted us to the solution. It has reduced the alerts by around 75 alerts per week.

Singularity Complete frees up our staff for other projects and tasks, thanks to its out-of-the-box setup and automated operation. I only need to intervene when a real threat emerges.

It helps reduce our mean time to detect and our mean time to respond.

Singularity Complete helps our organization save on costs by preventing malware from entering our machines which would result in downtime and machine repairs.

It helped reduce our organizational risk by 20 percent.

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

In my previous company, I used VMware Carbon Black. When I changed jobs, my new company was already using SentinelOne Singularity Complete. 

What was our ROI?

We've seen a positive return on investment with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. The key benefit for me was the ability to proactively prevent suspicious activity on our endpoints. As a practitioner rather than a manager, I dealt with an incident on an endpoint and was impressed by the solution's capabilities. Singularity Complete automatically contained the threat, allowing me ample time to clean the infected machine. Most importantly, it prevented the need to rebuild any other machines, even the affected ones in most cases. I often resolved issues on endpoints within an hour or two, minimizing downtime and ensuring user productivity.

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

The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is competitive. SentinelOne has a better price out of the box compared to Carbon Black and CrowdStrike.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Carbon Black lacked the same level of back-end support as CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.

What other advice do I have?

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

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an innovative solution that is ahead of Carbon Black and on par with CrowdStrike.

Effectively prevents vulnerable devices from being compromised by isolating their network traffic
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the ability to drill down into individual sequences of processes."
  • "I encountered issues running Singularity Complete alongside other machine-learning tools."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to detect and respond to "unknown unknowns," which are threats that haven't been previously identified. Our process involves monitoring for any unusual activity or deviations from typical program behavior. This includes analyzing parent and child processes to ensure they're loading correctly and not communicating with unauthorized external servers for remote execution.

For example, I encountered a phishing email that triggered an investigation. Fortunately, Singularity Complete offers an event log feature that allows me to analyze the incident. The tool's built-in Advanced Detection Analytics functionality helped me identify the downloaded file, and its access time, and track its interactions with applications, including attempted installations. Furthermore, Singularity Complete boasts a rollback capability, enabling me to revert to a safe state before the malicious activity occurred. I've utilized this feature successfully for several clients.

In addition to Singularity Complete's event log and rollback functions, it excels in antivirus detection. It effectively identified even sophisticated threats like the MimiKatz attack, which attempts to escalate user privileges in Linux and Windows systems. The tool's signature-based detection proved valuable in this instance.

How has it helped my organization?

Automating threat resolution has significantly improved our security operations. On average, I scan around forty million files, and the detection rate has been quite good.

The integration capabilities significantly enhance my existing security environment. It is a night and day difference compared to CylanceOPTICS by BlackBerry, which I used previously. While CylanceOPTICS was good, it relied on an algorithmic approach that flagged millions of potential threats, resulting in some false positives that needed manual analysis and training. SentinelOne, on the other hand, leverages eleven different engines simultaneously, including AI, machine learning, heuristics, and dynamic and static scans. This comprehensive approach offers robust protection, and if something falls through the cracks, it can consult a cloud database for the latest threat intelligence. Beyond its detection capabilities, SentinelOne offers exceptional visibility and control. I can easily investigate events at any time, like tracking who accessed Yahoo Finance within my organization across specific timeframes. The global tenancy feature empowers me to apply scans and threat signatures across different segments or even my entire network, ensuring consistent protection. The more I explore SentinelOne's features, the more impressed I am. It's incredibly powerful and versatile, offering a level of security and control that far surpasses my previous solution.

The interface is user-friendly, but there's a learning curve due to its extensive capabilities. Navigating for someone unfamiliar with threat hunting can be challenging as they may need to explore every option. However, some features have tooltips explaining their function when hovered over.

Accessing the knowledge base often requires a partnership with the company. While I lack this access, my distributor provided the comprehensive admin guide.

Ranger is an excellent feature for threat scanning. While alternative pen testing tools like Digital Defense exist, Ranger offers a unique advantage. It utilizes SentinelOne agents as probes within the network, allowing scans for irregular connections and identifying devices without the agent. This provides a comprehensive view of potential vulnerabilities. Imagine we decide to deny access to certain devices. In that case, every agent with those policies implemented, throughout our network, would individually isolate their traffic. This isolation prevents communication with the rogue devices. Consequently, even if one of those devices harbors a threat, it's unable to move laterally within the network. All other devices, recognizing it as unauthorized, will refuse to communicate with it.

Ranger requires no additional agents, hardware, or network modifications. It's essentially a built-in feature of the existing agent. Therefore, if we have the module, we already possess the capability. Activation can be done remotely through the cloud. So, when we decide to upgrade to Singularity Complete, they'll offer us the option of adding Ranger Plus. If we agree, a small additional fee, typically around a few dollars, will be applied per client. While it might seem a bit pricey, considering the value it provides, I believe it's worth the investment. It translates to roughly five dollars per client. For instance, with 50 machines, the monthly cost would be $250. In my experience, it hasn't significantly increased my expenses. There might be a slight increase, but I haven't noticed any substantial impact.

SentinelOne Ranger effectively prevents vulnerable devices from being compromised by isolating their network traffic. This feature is just one of many within the SentinelOne platform, which includes a built-in router and firewall integrated directly into the agent. This integration allows for seamless compatibility with Windows firewalls and offers granular control over network traffic. For example, Ranger enables modification of the firewall's IP stack, granting the ability to isolate specific traffic based on defined rules. This can be particularly useful for segregating vulnerable devices and preventing their communication. While not recommended for general use, advanced users can leverage SentinelOne's Singularly Complete feature on, for example, a VMware server to further isolate vulnerable devices. By running the client software on a separate network from the server, administrators can block unauthorized traffic based on Ranger's or the agent's identification. This effectively isolates the vulnerable device, even if it's compromised since it lacks any incoming network traffic. The server acts as a default gateway, filtering and controlling all incoming traffic.

Singularity Complete can help reduce alerts when a threat is identified and a solution is implemented. However, if a threat is known but no solution is available, using Singularity Complete might increase alerts. This is because suppressing alerts for a known threat without addressing it can create a false sense of security. While Singularity Complete allows manual blacklisting of threats, it cannot import large lists of threats from spreadsheets in one go, a feature available in CylanceOPTICS. This can be time-consuming for dealing with many threats. Overall, Singularity Complete has improved in its alert management, but it remains average compared to competitors. While detection is excellent, the alerting system still requires some refinement.

As a threat detector, I perform threat analysis to quickly identify threats. This has significantly reduced the time I spend on analysis, allowing Singularity Complete to free up about 30 percent of my time for other tasks.

Singularity Complete has achieved a 15 percent reduction in our mean time to detection. This efficiency gain is powered by eleven different detection engines running concurrently, ensuring comprehensive identification of potential threats.

Singularity Complete can reduce our mean time to respond by providing a clear path to the root cause of an attack. However, it doesn't always do this, and sometimes further investigation is necessary. Nevertheless, the tool significantly speeds up the process of identifying the root cause. For example, imagine the timeline indicates a suspicious file was executed. We can use Singularity Complete to find out when it last ran in our environment, even if it wasn't detected on the same day. If the threat appeared recently but the file ran a month ago, it suggests a potential Trojan was planted. This prompts further investigation into how the file arrived on the system. It could have been introduced through a USB drive, email attachment, copied file, or existing on a network share. While Singularity Complete won't explicitly state the location like "Share five," it will provide a hash that can often lead us to the network path.

Singularity Complete helps manage costs by eliminating the need for additional products with overlapping functionality. This saves us thousands of dollars per month on full scans, as our existing agent already possesses that capability. By deploying it across all organizational agents and enabling Ranger, we can conduct daily scans that provide comprehensive insights into our network activity.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. However, it's important to remember that no system is foolproof. While I haven't experienced a security breach since installing it, I deliberately expose some machines to potential threats to test and observe new attack techniques. To strengthen our security posture, I've implemented additional measures. Some machines have less aggressive scan and detection settings to simulate vulnerabilities and observe attacker behavior. Additionally, our network is layered, with weaker points that serve as honeypots, while critical systems are protected by stricter security protocols. Beyond Singularity Complete, we utilize Palo Alto Networks and FortiGate firewalls for further protection. Ultimately, the decision to invest in additional scanning capabilities depends on the cost and our overall security strategy.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the ability to drill down into individual sequences of processes. This allows for building a highly detailed timeline of events, which is incredibly helpful. Additionally, the quality of the intelligence provided is excellent, making it difficult to choose between the two. The solution effectively reveals the attacker's tactics, including the mechanism or injection method used, how they exploit vulnerabilities and their use of decoys or misdirection tactics like dequay attacks. They may target one area initially, then shift focus to another, potentially planting seeds for future attacks. Overall, the timeline, intelligence, and overall capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Complete are highly impressive.

Everything operates in real-time, allowing us to conduct in-depth analysis to uncover previously unknown threats. This capability stems from the use of dynamic libraries, which enable flexible code execution. The key concept here is the ability to pivot within an application. We can dissect and analyze this pivoting behavior, which is a rare feature among software solutions. Additionally, the system allows us to create our custom signatures. By identifying a threat and performing a global search, we can locate other instances of the same threat across our network and establish correlation points. Subsequently, we can create a signature based on a unique identifier (story ID) and integrate it into the initial login scan. This enables us to proactively detect and respond to any attacks that utilize that specific signature, making it a powerful tool for threat prevention.

What needs improvement?

The uninstallation process for the SentinelOne agent could be improved. While it is currently possible to uninstall through the console, it can be more complex if registry modifications are required. Streamlining this process, especially for users with console access, would be a valuable improvement.

I encountered issues running Singularity Complete alongside other machine-learning tools. The program uses hooks, which we configure through a whitelist to specify allowed functionalities for each app. However, I've observed compatibility problems with certain applications. This seems to stem from my limited access to information from those companies, hindering the creation of effective hooks.

For example, an external scanner's EXE file might not provide hooks for features like memory protection or script locking, potentially conflicting with SentinelOne's capabilities. In my experience, Singularity Complete doesn't always play well with others. While it coexists with Kaspersky's detection without issue, enterprise AI solutions employing algorithmic scans or pre/post-execution analysis can pose problems. We might need to modify the whitelist due to unavailable information about the application's memory range. Sharing this information could create vulnerabilities, so companies understandably keep it confidential. While I believe CylanceOPTICS could likely work with Singularity Complete, I haven't achieved it because I prioritize optimal protection. Disabling all CylanceOPTICS features and putting it in uninstall mode allows it to function but without intervention. In such cases, CylanceOPTICS detects threats first, possibly due to its higher application number in Windows. Similar behavior has been observed with other products.

Deep Instinct is another excellent detection software I use for remote devices. Expanding Singularity Complete's coverage to include IoT devices, Linux, servers, Docker, and mobile platforms (currently limited to Deep Instinct on my devices) would be highly beneficial. While Deep Instinct allows uploading and installation via email code, Singularity Complete currently lacks this functionality.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for over five years.

How are customer service and support?

I've only had one interaction with their tech support, but it was excellent. In situations where we're struggling with an investigation, I believe they have a guardian contract that could allow them to analyze our findings. Alternatively, if we're having difficulty detecting something, they can guide us through the process. However, my access to their tech department was limited to a single instance when I needed it. The impressive part is that they were willing to help me even though I was from a partner company. Such helpfulness is rare in many organizations, which often require expensive fees before offering similar assistance.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Previously, we used CylanceOPTICS by BlackBerry but transitioned to SentinelOne Singularity Complete due to its enhanced user-friendliness. The latter platform boasts comprehensive investigation capabilities, allowing us to delve deeper into the specifics of security incidents. We can examine parent-child relationships, delve into registry entries, and analyze memory ranges with ease. The feature set is truly extensive.

While CylanceOPTICS offered some of these functionalities, it could not identify pivoting areas within an attack. If I needed to investigate the pivot itself, CylanceOPTICS wouldn't suffice. SentinelOne proves invaluable in such situations. By examining registry entries or monitoring running processes, it helps us pinpoint the root cause, be it a Run DLL or a Windows EXE file disguised as innocuous activity. While CylanceOPTICS might catch the attack, it wouldn't reveal the underlying malicious intent. SentinelOne grants us this crucial level of insight, empowering us to respond effectively.

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten. While the product itself is impressive, the price point is on the higher side. The only drawback is the limited support access. If they offered more affordable support options or provided unrestricted access to their knowledge base, I would easily give it a ten. Unfortunately, they haven't implemented this yet, as it would unlock more resources and expertise for users. Ultimately, it is what it is, but hopefully, they'll consider these improvements in the future. 

In my environment, I support a law firm and a music company while pursuing my research. Additionally, I use Intel hardware for testing purposes. My security strategy prioritizes avoiding complete system reimaging whenever possible. While I have encountered compatibility issues with specific SentinelOne versions and certain software, these were primarily during testing when I intentionally introduced malicious files. In general, the software has proven effective in preventing and mitigating threats.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has been excellent in its ability to be innovative.

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete is well-established software, the developers continuously strive to improve it. After all, no software ever truly reaches complete maturity. To remain effective, we must constantly adapt, improve, and refine ourselves in response to evolving threats and technologies.

I'd love to partner with SentinelOne right now, but as a small business, cost is a major concern. That's why I'm working with a distributor. They purchase larger license blocks, like five thousand or ten thousand, and because I was one of their early customers, they granted me access. While I have a partnership with them, it's not a formal one. To my knowledge, they require organizations to have at least one hundred or two hundred seats to be considered for a true partnership. I'm unsure if a program exists for smaller businesses, but based on what I've seen, access to their knowledge base, support team, etc., seems to be restricted to contracts with a minimum seat capacity of one hundred or two hundred.

The Ranger feature scans the network and provides visibility into all the unsecured assets
Pros and Cons
  • "I like Singularity's rollback features, threat-hunting, and Ranger Insights. The Ranger feature scans the network and provides visibility into all the unsecured assets."
  • "Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better."

What is our primary use case?

We are a service provider with a huge customer base. Singularity Complete is a tool we use to protect our clients from ransomware and other external threats. SentinelOne has been our strategic partner for a long time, and we are one of their platinum partners in Central Europe. It covers all endpoints like laptops, desktops, and servers. It's used everywhere. 

How has it helped my organization?

We manage multiple clients with Singularity Complete, and the clients are happy with the protection it offers against external threats or ransomware attacks. It's an excellent tool for detecting those and preventing much greater damage.

Once you deploy the tool and spend a few weeks fine-tuning it, Singularity helps reduce the number of alerts. It decreases your alerts by around 25 percent. Singularity frees up staff for other projects and tasks.

Singularity has reduced our mean time to detect and respond. At most, detection takes up to 30 minutes. The response time depends on your configuration. Quarantine is happening in real-time. 

What is most valuable?

I like Singularity's rollback features, threat-hunting, and Ranger Insights. The Ranger feature scans the network and provides visibility into all the unsecured assets. It doesn't require any agents or network changes. It just gives us information about the unsecured assets that aren't managed by the IT departments of any company. It detects the vulnerabilities but doesn't prevent them. 

What needs improvement?

Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Singularity for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Singularity Complete eight out of 10 for stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Singularity Complete nine out of 10. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate SentinelOne support four out of 10. Their response is usually slow, even for priority one issues. They don't get on a call and fix the issue. They keep asking questions, so it gets frustrating sometimes. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Deploying Singularity was straightforward. The only issue is with the interoperability with other tools running in the customer's environment. We faced some challenges, but those were the initial teething issues. The solution requires some maintenance. You need to continuously update the agents and apply patches. We need multiple people to maintain the solution because we are a service provider with a huge customer base, but if you are deploying it for one client, one engineer is enough.

What was our ROI?

If an organization does not use this tool and gets attacked by ransomware or a threat, and it will incur costs in terms of a ransom or business loss. Singularity reduces organizational risk by about 30 to 35 percent. 

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

Singularity is reasonable, but a few clients say it's expensive because they're comparing it with traditional antivirus. The pricing could be much cheaper for the Asia-Pacific region because it's a price-sensitive market.

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of 10. Singularity Complete is a high-quality tool. The detections are good. We don't see many false positives. It's a good tool. It's still maturing but good.
