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.

Chief Executive Officer at a wholesaler/distributor with 11-50 employees
Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection
There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"I have just discovered it to be exceptionally good at finding that stuff."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"For a company with about 100 or more PC units, the solution is quite effective, makes monitoring easy, offers a lot of reporting, and provides protection for many applications including Windows and Zoom."
"Our clients have been able to survive a ransomware attack without even knowing that they had had files encrypted and automatically rolled back - even their Point of Sale (POS) system did not miss a beat and the business continued as normal without interruption."
"The Microsoft integrations are most valuable right now."
"During the time of attacks, if there is any data loss, we were able to easily roll back those attacks and retrieve that data for the client with a single click."
"The most valuble feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the recovery and zero-day detection."
"One of the nicest things about SentinelOne is their support; I never met a company which gives such fast, great support."
"The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint offers the best features in the market at an affordable rate, providing a secure solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"There are some false positives."
"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"I'd like to see increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives because we sometimes have cases where detections are repeated despite requests for them to be identified as false positives."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"Its price can also be improved. It is really expensive."
"This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."
"DLP support would be a good addition."
"I think they should consider enhancing complete visibility."
"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."
"I would appreciate it if they would consider providing a comprehensive vulnerability assessment report that goes beyond just application vulnerabilities."
"The anti-ransomware technology takes up a lot of disc space."
"SentinelOne can continue to make the presentation of relevant and timely data to the analysts as succinct and clear as possible. It will allow analysts to execute remediation or resolution with the least amount of clicks."
"One thing I don't like is the exportable report. They're they're not as useful as I'd hoped they would be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"The license is paid annually and is competitive."
"Their pricing was extremely competitive. That is why we stayed with them so long. We are renewing at the end of next month. We have already put in the approval. It is all set to go. We are renewing for another year or so year over year. It has been a very effective product, and it has been priced very competitively."
"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."
"Just buy the Capture Client and buy the installer itself in a license of 100,000, or whatever is needed. You don't need to invest in any management tools because they are already installed, and maintenance from the client will keep everything up and running."
"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."
"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 Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."
"The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike."
