Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 3, 2026

SentinelOne Singularity Complete and Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] are popular in the cybersecurity market. SentinelOne has an edge due to its advanced AI-driven features and flexible pricing.

Features: SentinelOne excels with its real-time threat detection, centralized dashboard, and AI-powered behavior detection. It offers autonomous threat management with a lightweight agent. Dell Data Protection focuses on robust data encryption, extensive control features, and policy enforcement, appealing for data integrity and compliance needs.

Room for Improvement: SentinelOne could enhance its integration with other security tools and reduce false positives. Its rollback feature, while beneficial, might need refinement. Better user education about AI capabilities could help users fully utilize the platform. Dell, being [EOL], lacks updates, which affects support and security efficacy. It could benefit from improved automation features and a more modern interface to enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SentinelOne's cloud-based setup streamlines deployment and supports a fast response to technical issues. The platform is user-friendly, with customizable dashboards. Dell provided an on-premises setup, which was less efficient, with a slower customer service response, requiring more manual oversight.

Pricing and ROI: SentinelOne offers scalable pricing tiers, allowing businesses flexibility in choosing plans that fit their budgets, ensuring a better ROI. Dell, though providing strong security, required a higher upfront investment with less flexibility in cost management. The cost efficiency of SentinelOne makes it a preferred choice for varied organizational needs.

Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk

Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Head of Network and Server infrastructure department at JSC Alfa Bank Ukraine

A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system

The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe

Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited

Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response

Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.

Cons

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."

"The restore feed needs improvement."

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"There aren't enough reporting capabilities for decision-makers."

"In terms of improvements for SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, the dashboard is complex for new users, and there are a lot of false positive alerts, particularly from genuine EXE files."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM."

"We ran into production issues related to CPU utilization on Linux endpoints. Our production environment's performance got degraded like anything."

"We often experience interruptions to our investigations in SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

"The main issue with SentinelOne Singularity Complete was the process memory used for Linux servers, which generated a lot of tickets and incidents due to the high load of disk consumption and memory."

"Improvements for SentinelOne's Singularity Complete could include adjusting pricing for specific markets, ensuring affordability, and better alignment with customer expectations in those regions."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"Very costly product."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."

"It is an expensive solution."

"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."

"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."

"Pricing is a bit of a pain point. That's where we have not been able to convince all of our customers to use SentinelOne. The pricing is still on the higher side. It's almost double the price, if not more, of a normal antivirus, such as NOD32, Kaspersky, or Symantec."

"SentinelOne makes licensing easy by reducing the number of modules or packages that they have to offer. A lot of other vendors make licensing very complicated with separate modules or separate costs. By bundling necessary features, SentinelOne ensures that security leaders are not left confused by options. This bundling of necessities has served our needs well."

"SentinelOne can cost approximately $70 per device."

"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."

"The pricing model is simple."

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