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.

Enhanced mobile security with visibility into app and website usage, but installation challenges remain

We use Lookout for mobile devices, such as phones It has reduced our risk around mobile devices. I like the security features and being able to see what apps and websites people are using. There is nothing we have come across that we've desired. We have been using Lookout for one year. The…

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."

"It is a simple platform to use."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."

"We have not had any issues with bugs or breakdowns."

"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."

"I was extremely happy with their technical staff. The solution's tech support is top-notch. They have some really good engineers on their team."

"This feature is fantastic because it remediates issues while maintaining a clear audit trail, which is great for compliance."

"It is priced by endpoint device, making it one of the well-priced solutions, as it is not too expensive and is a very good enterprise solution."

"The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory."

"The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities."

"Deep visibility, full disk scan, and rollback features are impressive, especially in cases of ransomware attacks."

"SentinelOne offers one of the best software quotes and has excellent reviews and everything."

"SentinelOne has improved the overall security posture of the firm without creating a lot of hassle for our end users. Everything is a bit more secure. We think Singularity Complete has helped us reduce our organizational risks."

Cons

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The initial setup requires a little bit of experience with configuration."

"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."

"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."

"On the negative side, I find that SentinelOne is expensive compared to some other options like Orca Security, which is cheaper."

"The solution is expensive. It is costlier than Trend Micro and Palo Alto XDR."

"For SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, the first issue I dislike is the high CPU utilization, and the second is a very high number of false positive alerts from the EDR."

"The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities."

"The reporting needs improvement and I would like to see a more granular level of administrative privileges."

"As a customer, the price is also high for me."

"We did use the Ranger functionality. However, there was some scanning going on and it caused a lot of noise, so we had to disable it."

"However, I do not provide a ten out of ten because when I compare it with different products, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is at the third position. This means that on the prevention side, it might be better."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Lookout is definitely on the lower end when it comes to price point and that seems to be the only differentiator. The technology is in place in this space and it's really about who is coming in at the better price point now."

"The pricing is fair; it's comparable to our previous solution, and we carried out multiple POCs and POVs (proof of value). The product is worth the money we pay for it."

"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."

"It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most."

"The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly."

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

"The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it."

"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."

"We have not been beaten in the market by pricing, so we have been feeling good about that. The discussions we have had over the years keep us at a very low price per unit. It can always get better, but we also know there is a cost to the backend."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."
