Scalable solution with a straightforward setup that provides an enhanced level of endpoint security, but has issues with stability
Pros and Cons
  • "Scalable endpoint protection solution that takes seconds to set up per device. It has a rollback feature and offers good technical support."
  • "The stability of SentinelOne should be improved."
  • "We have had some stability issues with SentinelOne due to Windows 10 feature updates; it should be more stable."

What is our primary use case?

SentinelOne is for users wanting an enhanced level of endpoint security.

What is most valuable?

What I like about SentinelOne is that it sparks your curiosity. I also like its rollback feature.

What needs improvement?

The stability of SentinelOne should be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using SentinelOne for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We're using SentinelOne through one of our partners, and we have had some stability issues with it due to Windows 10 features updates. It should be more stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support for SentinelOne is fine.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for SentinelOne is straightforward. Setting up the solution doesn't take long, e.g. on a per-device basis, it would take just 30 seconds.

What about the implementation team?

We did the implementation of this solution ourselves.

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

Our customers pay for monthly for the license of SentinelOne.

What other advice do I have?

We're an MSP, so we deploy SentinelOne for customers, e.g. 70 to 80 endpoints.

We've had some stability issues with the solution, and that's definitely a concern. I'm still pushing forward with SentinelOne, because it's the only kind of option we have in this space.

In terms of recommending SentinelOne, I'd give it a six out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A flexible product that meets the requirements of most of the clients and comes with many good features
Pros and Cons
  • "Most of the features are valuable. As a system integrator, agent deployment is valuable. It also fits the requirements of most of the clients."
  • "It is a good product, and it fits the requirements of most of the clients."
  • "They can improve the administrative interface. They can make it more user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

We are a system integrator. We provide this solution to the end-users.

What is most valuable?

Most of the features are valuable. As a system integrator, agent deployment is valuable. It also fits the requirements of most of the clients.

What needs improvement?

They can improve the administrative interface. They can make it more user-friendly.

Its price can be lower.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable.

How was the initial setup?

Its setup is of medium complexity. It is not complex, and it is also not straightforward.

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

Its price can be lower because I'm seeing competition from another vendor who beats it on commercials.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to go for it. It is a good product, and it fits the requirements of most of the clients. It is very flexible.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

Easy to set up and transparently offers effective protection
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is that it just unintrusively works in the background to carry out the protection."
  • "Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed."

What is our primary use case?

We have SentinelOne installed on all of our workstations and servers. It is set up with the maximum protection except that Active is in Alert Mode, and everything else is blocked.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is that it just unintrusively works in the background to carry out the protection. You don't have to babysit it. Instead, it will alert if it sees something, you deal with it and carry on from there.

What needs improvement?

Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed. SentinelOne gives no clue as to the problem, so to diagnose what is happening can be difficult. To make it worse, the behavior is inconsistent. Two people in the office might have the application working correctly, but a third person using the same program will have a problem.

Nothing is displayed by the agent that is running on the workstations, but it would be helpful to have a mode available where we can see feedback as to what it is doing. We wouldn't want it running all the time because there would be more overhead, but it could be helpful for debugging or diagnosing problems.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne for between six months and a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of stability, it has been good so far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It appears to be scalable.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy.

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

Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it. That said, there are always ways to make things better.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Visually appealing and customizable console, as well as a powerful API
Pros and Cons
  • "We love the API. We use it to generate robust reporting, and we also developed tools to perform agent actions remotely without needing to provide all IT staff with console access."
  • "SentinelOne has provided amazing security; we were getting new cryptolocker variant infections several times per month and the month following our SentinelOne rollout, the numbers dropped to zero, and we have not had a single infection since."
  • "It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible."
  • "The agent update schedule is a little sporadic, and the updates are frequent."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne to secure our entire environment, including all user endpoints and servers. We are also currently testing the Deep Visibility addon. We were using a definition-based AV prior to SentinelOne, and we were getting daily/weekly infections of a variety of malware. We are a mix of PC, Mac, and Linux. We have on-premises machines and servers, as well as cloud VMs that we were wanting to protect. We wanted to purchase a Next Generation AV client that would be algorithm-based instead of definition file-based.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne has provided amazing security. We were getting new cryptolocker variant infections several times per month and the month following our SentinelOne rollout, the numbers dropped to zero. We have not had a single infection since.

The new console is not only visually appealing and simple to use, but it allows you to customize and apply labels to different areas. I don't have a good gauge on how much money SentinelOne has saved us, but we only get a handful of security alerts in our console each day. It has freed up our security staff to perform other tasks. 

What is most valuable?

We love the API. We use it to generate robust reporting, and we also developed tools to perform agent actions remotely without needing to provide all IT staff with console access. 

The agent will now also report the location in AD. This allows you to create dynamic collections of machines in the cloud console based on their location in local AD. You can replicate your AD OU structure into the console and run deployments and reporting based on OU. It's a very powerful feature and something that was missing in our last product. 

What needs improvement?

The agent update schedule is a little sporadic, and the updates are frequent. You are definitely going to want to have a good management solution in place, such as SCCM, Intune, or Jamf in order to maintain the environment properly.

There is agent data, such as last known IP address, that is not stored historically. It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible. You can see a snapshot of the data at the moment, but once it changes whatever was there previously is not stored. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The agent is very stable, especially the later versions of the product. Agent never crashes and consumes minimal system resources. New agent versions are constantly released (which can be slightly difficult to manage if you don't have a good endpoint third party management solution like SCCM\JAMF). Release over release both stability and features have improved and been more fleshed out. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable and easy to deploy over any of the standard management solutions.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer service and our TAM are both very good. They are responsive and have never been unable to answer a question we asked. 

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

We switched because or old solution flat out was not picking up infections. It was really almost rather useless. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. We do not have any on-premises infrastructure. Rather, we are using sentinel one in full-cloud mode. It was really just a matter of deploying the agent to the endpoints.

What about the implementation team?

Our in-house team handled the deployment.

What was our ROI?

ROI is kind of hard to quantify but we definitely do feel like we get our money worth.

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

The costs are really rather minimal for what you receive with the product. No real advisement here. The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Carbon Black. SentinelOne was more economical, and the feature set was comparable so we ultimately went with it.

What other advice do I have?

Be ready to dedicate a good amount of time to learn the API. To really get the most from the product you need to tap the REST API.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

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

AI-powered protection, data-rollback ability, and seamless integration with SolarWinds
Pros and Cons
  • "It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting."
  • "The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen."
  • "Set up is very labor-intensive."

What is our primary use case?

We are an MSP supporting various business verticals (including medical and pharmaceutical). Our core monitoring/deployment solution is SolarWinds RMM, through which we were recently introduced to SentinalOne. We use the bundled automation to install, patch, and monitor antimalware protection to endpoints. We are in the process of replacing Bitdefender with SentinalOne for several clients. 

How has it helped my organization?

Deployment is automatable through the RMM, though a little clunky to do. The provided automation was a little challenging, but once you get it configured it's quite effective. Once we got it deployed to our users, it operates seamlessly and with minimal impact on system resources. Even our clients with lower-end workstations report improved performance since switching from Bitdefender. 

After migrating, this also picked up some latent malware that was not previously detected & cleaned it immediately with almost no interaction required. I was impressed with how little this bogged down the affected system. This was in our pilot run, so I was on-site.

What is most valuable?

The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen. It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting. 

I tested this by deliberately infecting an unpatched test machine with WanaCry. First of all, SentinalOne blocked the initial infection attempt. I had to put S1 into "notify only" mode on that system to actually infect the machine. Once infected, WanaCry did what it does... encrypted all the documents I had copied to the test machine and put up the background. 

We immediately got a notification on our dashboard that a system was infected. At the same time, we got a popup on the client machine notifying us of the infection, with the option to auto-repair the damage. It took less than a minute (granted, we only had about 200 MB of files on the test system) for S1 to repair the damage and put the machine back to normal with no evidence of the infection.

You also can't remove the client from the local machine without approving it within the dashboard. This is a nice feature to prevent tampering by either hapless users or even skilled threat actors. 

What needs improvement?

Set up is very labor-intensive. You have to provide multiple codes from multiple places within the S1 dashboard in order to use the provided automation, and it's different for each client (or "sites" as they call it). It very much feels like an enterprise application that has been adapted for SMBs, but not very thoroughly. It would be better if they had a "site package" similar to the one offered by SolarWinds for the RMM. You just run the package on the client machine and done. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for approximately three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is excellent so far. Once installed, it's "set it and forget it."

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is great if you're scaling up, but scaling down may prove to be challenging.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is provided for us through SolarWinds, and they're very knowledgable.

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

We used Bitdefender (also through SolarWinds) previously. SentinalOne was pitched by SolarWinds a few months ago as an alternative with robust ransomware protection. Being a small MSP, a single ransomware infection at a client could spell disaster for our business. We are always looking for the latest technology, but not marginal improvements. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup script provided by SolarWinds (proprietary to their RMM) was a little challenging to get going, but once it worked, it worked perfectly. Except it didn't run on Win7 systems because it uses Powershell commands from a later version than what's available on Win7.

What about the implementation team?

The vendor team provided support, but we did the deployment.

What was our ROI?

We're making about seventy-five percent over the per-seat cost, and it's easy to sell at that price point.

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

The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We really hadn't seen EDR solutions in action before. Our decision was based primarily on the fact that it has SolarWinds integration. 

What other advice do I have?

Definitely worth the money compared to heuristic solutions, especially for clients who tend to "stretch" their hardware as long as possible. The low impact and robust reporting go a long way to make this an easy sell, and the cost is excellent for the price point.

A stable solution that offers very good information surrounding attacks and threats
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution offers very rich details surrounding threats or attacks."
  • "The solution needs better reporting on new threats and malware. The reporting is present, but I can't find the information easily."
  • "The price is a bit high. They should make their pricing model more affordable."

What is most valuable?

The solution offers very rich details surrounding threats or attacks.

What needs improvement?

The price is a bit high. They should make their pricing model more affordable.

The solution needs better reporting on new threats and malware. The reporting is present, but I can't find the information easily.

For how long have I used the solution?

We are in the process of testing the solution. We've been using it for three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Receptor is good at finding many EFC files
Pros and Cons
  • "We have a preference for their receptor; it's good at finding many EFC files, and normally EFC files could have a virus, but we need to exclude some of them."
  • "It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."
  • "Some features could be more user-friendly; for instance, setting restrictions in the explorer for what level one must be to use it is not user-friendly and it is difficult to find what we're searching for."

What is our primary use case?

We use the public cloud version.

What is most valuable?

We have a preference for their receptor. It's good at finding many EFC files. Normally, EFC files could have a virus, but we need to exclude some of them.

What needs improvement?

It corrects all of the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated. 

From the client-side, some scanning and other features can be enabled for scanning viruses better. If they want to scan for an individual reason other than viruses, such as scanning for legal files, they haven't been able to gather that from the client-side.

Some features could be more user-friendly. For instance, setting restrictions in the explorer for what level one must be to use it is not user-friendly. It is difficult to find what we're searching for.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Out of ten, I would give this solution 8.5 for scalability.

How are customer service and technical support?

When we need partners, they support us well. There have been no issues with that.

What other advice do I have?

It's okay. It's a better solution than other competitors.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

Protects endpoints against malware and other threats
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is the user-friendly interface."
  • "This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."

What is our primary use case?

We are an IT company that sells solutions, and this is one of the products that we provide to our customers. We work on certain opportunities that require the capabilities of SentinelOne, but we do not use it for our own purposes.

This solution is used to protect endpoints against malware and other threats.

A lot of the deployments are hybrid. In Lebanon, the cloud is not used to a large extent. Most of the customers use on-premises solutions.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of this solution is the user-friendly interface. Our customers ask for something that is easy to use, easy to manipulate and doesn't require too much intervention. This is where SentinelOne scored big against CrowdStrike and Carbon Black.

This solution is easy to install.

What needs improvement?

This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with this solution for about one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability seems ok at this point because there is no negative feedback from the customers.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable and expandable with no issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have support from both vendor and distributor, and up to now, it has been satisfactory. The response has been very good, which is something the customers really appreciate and is always considered a plus.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. The deployment is very easy and very fast, taking perhaps two or three hours, depending on the size of the project.

It is a centralized deployment.

A maximum of two people are required for the setup and maintenance.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation of this project is a joint effort between our team and the vendor's technical team.

What other advice do I have?

I have done POCs with this solution for two customers and there has been no negative feedback.

My advice for anybody considering this product is to do a POC and check to ensure it fits their environment. In some areas, this may be the best product to use, but in another environment, another product or another solution would be a better fit. It's always a matter of doing the POC and trying to get the most out of the product, depending on the environment.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took around two weeks. 

What about the implementation team?

We did the integration in-house. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We didn't evaluate other options before choosing this solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I strongly recommend this solution. I would recommend that you get onto a next-generation endpoint security device like this one. It's much better protection for corporate environments particularly with a lot of cloud integration and platforms like Office 365. If you're going to start using those sort of services, then you really need a next-generation endpoint protection device like SentinelOne.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.
