SentinelOne Singulality Complete has the ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions extensively.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete seamlessly ingests logs from various other technologies besides the SentinelOne EDR platform. We have integrated with several firewalls, different firewalls. We have integrated with cloud ingestion, such as AWS and GCP, which is seamless. There are other solutions that can be integrated with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, incorporating security log ingestion.

The XDR platform helps to consolidate different security solutions.

Regarding Ranger functionality, it provides network and asset visibility and can ingest logs from network sources, capturing any threat metrics, including IOCs.

I cannot confirm if SentinelOne Singularity Complete reduces alerts as I have not worked heavily on that aspect. The system captures different telemetry from network devices.

Customers mainly use SentinelOne Singularity Complete on both public and hybrid cloud. This is advantageous, as we can use a relay agent to commit updates for computers that do not have internet access. Those telemetry can also be received, which is a clear value differentiator.

The installation of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very seamless. We are able to implement fresh rollouts of thousands of machines in a matter of one or two days, provided the machines are available. We are immediately able to see the telemetry and ingestions of the log taking place.

The biggest benefit for my customers is that it is autonomous, where mostly everything is automated, and the threat detection, as well as auto-remediation rules, are set up. Hence, minimum intervention is required from our side in case of known threats. I consider the automation and autonomous decision-making as the cornerstone.

It takes time for updates to reflect on the central console when putting in a new machine.

Regarding recommendations, they have acquired a company called Prompt Security, which is working on AI gateway and AI security posture management. I want to see how it gets integrated with the SentinelOne platform, and I am looking forward to what they will do with Prompt Security.

My customers have not calculated a return on investment because most purchases happen as a mandate. It is imperative for organizations to move from antivirus to EDR and XDR platforms. The decision is mostly for corporate security rather than based on a return on investment.

There are not many stability issues regarding upgrades. Everything is managed automatically, so there is no user interference needed for upgrades.

I would rate the support from SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an eight out of ten.

Positive

Compared to Microsoft and other competing solutions, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very aggressive price-wise.

The cost depends on a per-device basis.

The full-fledged platform should be around $7 to $10 per device per month.

Predominantly, my customers buy SentinelOne Singularity Complete from us. Small customers may purchase from the AWS marketplace, but enterprise customers mostly buy through partners.

I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a good investment where you can rely on the technical support. There is always a human voice available if we get stuck somewhere, and I am very happy about the solutions and interactions we have. You are bound to have clarity when alerts come in, and you need a vendor who can answer and troubleshoot those situations and clarify what the alert is all about. If you are looking for more TAC line support for incidents, go ahead with SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

I have extensive experience with SentinelOne products and am particularly impressed with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. The solution integrates effectively with third parties.

I find it extremely reliable. For instance, I report monthly for compliance and other security metrics across our multi-cloud platforms. Primarily, we rely on Microsoft, especially with Entra ID and MFA. While Microsoft provides decent reporting tools, they can make it difficult to get high-level summaries. In contrast, Singularity allows me to pull insights across various platforms, not just Microsoft and Azure. Whether I’m using it within AWS, with single sign-on, or with one of our partners, I can see all the relevant data.

It has improved significantly with its upgrades, especially in threat hunting and analysis. Now, when it identifies a threat, it efficiently kills the process and attempts to quarantine the affected items. If it cannot, the system continues its automated threat hunting. This feature is fantastic because it remediates issues while maintaining a clear audit trail, which is great for compliance. However, a drawback is that although it handles threats effectively, I sometimes cannot access the necessary data quickly enough to address recurring problems and prevent them from escalating. The good news is that the platform is robust and supports our security needs. While it's not perfect, it certainly has its strengths.

The analytics and reporting can be a bit overwhelming. I love the dashboards, but I find that I need to better understand PowerQuery—specifically when to turn it on and off and its limitations. It's similar to SharePoint in that regard. As a former SharePoint instructor, I know it like the back of my hand. The best thing about SharePoint is that it can do whatever you want; the worst part is also that it can do whatever you want. You really need to know what you want before diving in. Most people usually have a good idea of what they need. SharePoint offers a lot out of the box, but you can customize it further if you wish. However, customization often requires hiring someone, which can be risky since you never know if it will work as intended. On the other hand, PowerQuery can help bridge some of those gaps within Singularity. The challenge arises when you want to incorporate what you've done into dashboards and charts, as there are limitations. For instance, I want more clickable drill-down options that allow me to filter on specific sections of the data, but that's currently not possible. It’s not to say that improvements won’t come in the future; it's just that it feels a bit early at this stage.

Additionally, I find some navigation features frustrating, like the back button in certain contexts. For example, if you open PowerQuery from a chart, it doesn't open in a new window or tab. Clicking the back button takes you all the way back to the previous state, causing you to lose whatever progress you made. However, I'm actively providing this feedback to my partner, Pro Circular, through whom we access SentinelOne. They take our input seriously, and I've been sharing my observations. They have their own views but are addressing the issues I raise. It's good to see that suggestions occasionally lead to updates and improvements.

I have been using SentinelOne for approximately three and a half to four years, with particularly intensive use in the last two and a half years.

Though I wasn't present for the implementation, the success of SentinelOne Singularity Complete migration heavily depends on having a quality partner. Prior to the purchase and recent changes, experiences with SentinelOne's support and product were not positive.

I obviously want it to be more affordable, and I believe we should be able to achieve that. However, my main concern is partner pricing; that's where they really need to focus. While we can manage it ourselves, if we're going back to the traditional service management model with trusted service providers, I depend heavily on ProCircular as our SOC partner. They offer a few different solutions, but SentinelOne Singularity appears to be the preferred choice.

Similarly, SHI can provide various options as well, but according to my account representative, SentinelOne is gaining momentum and improving significantly. However, it’s important to note that we're only talking about a timeframe of around six months. I'm happy to share this feedback because insights like these can impact future purchasing decisions for other tech leaders like myself who have decision-making authority.

As for pricing, it’s essential to address that. Reputation and quality are important, but especially in today’s economy, price is a significant factor. Unfortunately, many organizations are prioritizing price right now. My hope is that SentinelOne and Singularity can recognize the importance of partner pricing and economies of scale.

Right now, I'm focusing on the basics of cloud integration. I have established a standard that I need to recreate, particularly with SentinelOne. It serves two main purposes: it is our primary antivirus solution for both Windows and Linux. There are various ways to forward logs from other systems where SentinelOne cannot be installed, such as firewalls and databases. However, they all provide similar functionality. There are two types of integrations available: you can use a plug-in, or you can utilize the standard Singularity integration. For AWS specifically, I've standardized the ingestion of AWS CloudTrail data across all platforms. Azure has a similar capability, so now I can view all my cloud reports in one place instead of having to switch between different dashboards, like SentinelOne's or AWS's Security Hub and GuardDuty. I can consolidate everything into one platform, which is very convenient. The integrations are robust, and from a plug-in perspective, I realize that I might not even need to use them. Some older systems, such as Cisco, can forward logs to a log management system, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete handles those logs seamlessly, which is fantastic. There's still a lot more I want to accomplish, but I'm pleased with the progress so far.

It has evolved significantly. Prior to SentinelOne Singularity's acquisition of DataSet, there were numerous issues and negative feedback. Previously, common complaints involved having to implement exclusions due to lack of thorough investigation. However, these complaints have ceased since the changes were implemented.

They offer a lot of options, especially when it comes to integration. With the recent upgrades they've made to their platform, it truly appears cohesive, almost like a single pane of glass. There is a lot of consistency, which makes navigation easier. However, the challenge lies in the distinction between EDR and XDR. SentinelOne is still part of the product, but it’s important to recognize that SentinelOne and Singularity operate separately. This situation is both a positive and a negative. The positive aspect is the uniformity of the interface, which you would expect to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. I know they’re working toward that, but the systems are fundamentally different. Your EDR, XDR, and other tools need to be considered separately; one involves installation and monitoring logs, while the other focuses on ingestion. They do an impressive job of bringing together commonalities among EDR, XDR, and the managed extended detection response, but if you choose one path over the other, you need to understand that the approach may vary. It’s a bit of a blessing and a curse at the same time.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. For ten, it has got to be rock solid all over the place.

I typically deploy it into typical business environments such as law offices, doctors' offices, and marketing companies. I have clients of all walks of life, including accountants, attorneys, doctors, and veterinarians. I work in a very simple environment and am not dealing with high security, such as CIA-level security. For example, I use it in a doctor's office where it does a good job staying HIPAA compliant.

The best aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Complete for these clients are its ability to detect malicious activity. While there are sometimes false positives, they are minimal, making it quite effective. It recently stopped a ransomware attack at one of my clients, proving its reliability. The clients do not see immediate efficiency gains or significant time savings.

I haven't done any integrations, as I'm just in the beginning stage of ramping up the product implementation and mastering the product. I don't qualify myself as a master in the use of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, so I cannot offer great insight on this.

I have dealt with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for less than a year.

The stability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is demonstrated through its ability to detect malicious activity. While there are sometimes false positives, they are minimal. It recently stopped a ransomware attack at one of my clients, proving its reliability.

My clients are mostly small, and my largest client has about thirty computers. I do the deployment myself, and it's not a huge effort. It's not comparable to dealing with a company that has three thousand computers.

In the past, I used another product that malfunctioned and caused high processor activity which required stopping and reinstalling it. However, this hasn't happened with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. I used to have many false positives with other products that would block good programs, but I haven't experienced that with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, making it more quiet and efficient.

The initial setup was very simple; deployment is straightforward. Fine-tuning it is a bit more involved, but overall, it's a very simple product to get started with.

I was a part of the setup and deployment process.

The return on investment for my clients isn't visible until there is an incident or an attack that gets stopped. Then they realize the value of prevention. The challenge with security products is that ROI isn't apparent until an incident demonstrates the potential for loss. Clients often think they are immune, especially small ones, believing they're too small to be attacked. They don't realize that the cost of an attack could be a hundred thousand dollars, while they perceive the likelihood as very low.

The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is good. There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution. If they want security, looking for the cheapest solution means they have the wrong approach, because good products are not cheap.

I don't have hands-on experience with CrowdStrike, Cisco, or Palo Alto products, but I know the companies. I do not have experience with AI features or AI analytics yet. I don't think there is real-time threat intelligence within SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and if there is, I'm not using it. I'm just getting to learn the product, so I cannot offer any deep insightful opinion. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a nine or a ten, as I'm very happy with it currently.

Our main use case is to protect all the Linux servers. We use it only for servers, not for users.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is one of the most mature solutions available. It shows great benefits over time.

We can install filters to analyze every alert, and make some whitelists, blacklists, and exceptions, thus helping reduce alerts.

It can reduce the organization's risk. It gives better control to our limited team resources.

It already has AI capabilities, which is one of their advantages.

When you select a policy for a type of server, such as an Active Directory, we can apply a dedicated policy. We can have a dedicated policy for Exchange Server and a dedicated policy for MS SQL, Oracle server, etc.

The interface of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is user-friendly, and we can quickly find what we need.

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. The problem was on all systems, but especially on Linux servers. It might have already been fixed.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the best EDR in the market, but it will evolve, though I have concerns about using US partners in Europe due to the geopolitical context. It is better to work with European companies.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for approximately four years.

For stability, I would rate it a nine, as I have experienced only the issue of overload.

The technical support from SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very active and good, with a strong knowledge base available online. The response time of technical support is satisfactory and acceptable.

I would rate their support a nine out of ten based on reactivity and the solutions they provide; this is based on my team's interactions, not mine.

Positive

For Windows servers, we are using Defender. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is only used for Linux servers. 

The initial setup was not really complex; we only needed one on-premise management server to deploy to different servers. It took about two months for about 300 servers.

I am the third party assisting in the deployment.

I don't know about the licensing model. It seems easy, but it's not my area of expertise. I don't have information on how it compares to its competitors, but the pricing is per device.

We conducted some PoCs between SentinelOne Singularity Complete, Defender, and Carbon Black, and we decided to go with SentinelOne Singularity Complete based on usability. 

It is unclear if it has helped reduce our organization's mean time to detect or respond because we have a platform with four people, and we are using SOC as well. Our main activities are done by four people, and we don't have much time to conduct thorough investigations.

I cannot assess SentinelOne Singularity Complete's ability to be innovative because we stayed with it after choosing it and never compared it with others.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten because nothing is perfect, but it is close.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts. We have one place to go to check them, and there is also a reduction in false alerts.

Singularity Complete helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. I do not have the metrics, but it saves a lot of time compared to what I have used at other companies.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our mean time to detect. We only have to look at the portal. We can quickly isolate the user or the device, which also stops the virus from spreading. It also reduces our mean time to respond.

The web portal has a really good web UI, and all the things are well integrated. It is easy for us to increase the number of users because it is pretty simple.

The maintenance window can be improved because once it happened that I had multiple laptops, and the maintenance window caused a lot of laptops to get stuck in the portal, blocking access. This is important to address. The basic functionalities should be up and running even during maintenance windows. I understand that it is a software-as-a-service model, but it becomes a problem if I cannot do anything when issues occur during maintenance.

They could make it simple to have a SIEM integrated with their solution so that we can send logs to their server and then analyze them.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for almost one year.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have 50 users in our company. We have three administrators. We also have a consultant.

I did not have the opportunity to contact them because I had almost no issues.

Neutral

We were probably using Webroot. I was not there when they made the decision to switch.

I did not participate in the initial setup, but our new onboarding process for laptops is really straightforward. You just join the domain, and the software gets installed automatically. It is bound to our site, making it very easy.

It is difficult to measure ROI, but since we started using it, we have not had any problems related to security. We have not experienced any breaches or issues so far.

It has absolutely helped reduce our organizational risk.

Overall, it was a good experience. It is pretty easy for us to increase the number.

SentinelOne is focused on this solution. This is evident in the GUI. The GUI is well done compared to solutions like Microsoft Defender which I have been trying to get into, but it almost repels me. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very stable and mature. It is one of the best solutions that one can choose.

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

Singularity Complete integrates well. We have changed our monitoring solution, and SentinelOne supports that solution. We are using SecureWorks to monitor our system. It is directly using the SentinelOne agent. All security logs for SentinelOne and other security products are being pushed to that one. SecureWorks consolidates all the logs and alerts, and we are getting 24/7 monitoring.

Singularity Complete significantly reduces alerts. It has reduced false positives by 30% to 40%.

Singularity Complete helps free up our staff for other projects and tasks. We have fewer false positives. We are very comfortable with it. Before, we had to provide extensive technical support for endpoint protection, but after installing the agent, administration became much easier.

Singularity Complete has been excellent, and we have not faced any issues in the last three to four years. It has reduced critical risks significantly.

Singularity Complete has reduced our mean time to remediate to a good level. It has also reduced the organizational risk.

We have used Ranger, but it is not always useful for us because most of our users are working from remote areas. It is a bit difficult for Ranger to identify them because they are working with some local networks. However, we are protecting our endpoints with the agents. It is mandatory for our technicians to install this agent.

APT and ransomware protection is valuable. We also use the Vigilance service from SentinelOne. It is a complete XDR platform for us.

Sometimes, support can be lacking. We would like to have more interactive sessions, which are not currently available. A chat service for technical support would also be beneficial. With other vendors, we are able to resolve small issues through the chat, whereas with SentinelOne, we have to open a ticket. Without a ticket, we cannot do anything. It takes more time.

They should host a data center in Saudi Arabia, making it easy for customers to go for a SaaS model.

We have been working with SentinelOne since 2019. It has been almost five years.

For EDR, the solution is perfect. Over the five years of using it, many improvements have been made. Initially, there were issues, particularly on the management side, but now the console is much more stable.

They can provide more interactive options for support. For example, a chat service would be beneficial.

Positive

Previously, we were using Trend Micro, which posed a lot of issues. Trend Micro has different products for different things. For example, they have a different product for servers and a different product for clients. For management and reporting, there is another product. We have to manage a lot of things in Trend Micro. 

SentinelOne has consolidated these functionalities into a single platform, greatly reducing our workload. 

The SaaS model is better, but due to some regulations, companies are hesitant to go for it. 

Deployment was challenging because we did not have software distribution capabilities at the time, and my technicians faced many challenges. I tried using group policy, and it worked for some clients, but not all, since half of my employees work remotely. Once deployed, agent updates were automated from SentinelOne. 

Maintenance is not required because we are using the SaaS model. We do not have any servers to manage, as it is a SaaS-based solution. When there is a new agent release from SentinelOne, we just have to deploy it from the console.

We have different entities inside our organization. It took us three to four weeks to deploy to about 1,500 endpoints. 

My team handled the deployments. We had five to six technicians.

We have not faced any attacks since we implemented it. We had some critical incidents before this. In that respect, we have saved costs.

Its cost is similar to Trend Micro, but the protection is much better. If you want protection, you have to pay the price.

This technology is perfect for us. They are good at innovation and enhancements. We have good visibility across the network and endpoints. The product is continually improving, and I am very satisfied with it. I have already recommended it to a few people.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten. There are areas for improvement, such as support and hosting data inside Saudi Arabia.

First, budget-wise, and for the quick actions I take in automation, certainly AI plays a crucial role.

The most valuable features are the quick action and restoration capabilities. I can catch any behavior and restore everything for the last two changes. There's also automation that gives my team free time, preventing them from having to look for every alert. As a result, we don't need their action on some emails.

Integration with the firewalls is needed because there is no integration with Forti as a FortiAnalyzer. It is currently integrated with FortiManager and the Forti box, but if I have an analyzer, it doesn’t integrate with them. It would be better if there were direct integration with FortiAnalyzer.

I have used the solution for two years.

The stability is just okay.

The scalability is good at more than ninety percent.

I would rate the customer service at an eight.

Positive

I tried, when busy, CrowdStrike, and as an endpoint, I work with FortiClient.

The setup is complex related to the XDR because there are more logs, and the queries need someone expert for that. I should create a guide.

The deployment has been done in-house by my team.

If I compare prices between SentinelOne and another solution, I have already conducted this exercise, and SentinelOne is cheaper by more than sixteen percent.

It’s cheaper than other competitors.

I will recommend it to other clients. The quality is good for us based on our operations. We don't have a huge amount of transactions, but it’s good for us. The solution meets our needs. It’s good. Overall product rating is eight out of ten.

We have it for all of our client machines and servers. It is the antivirus solution for all clients and servers. We are also looking into going further with their log analysis portion. We are working with them in terms of pricing.

The overhead on the CPU is minimalistic, not taking up too many system resources.

Making exceptions and exclusions through the console interface is smooth, providing a very good experience. The clients communicate with the web console in less than a minute, which is much faster than other solutions such as Malwarebytes.

SentinelOne has helped us with consolidation. We have Malwarebytes installed along with SentinelOne, and we are moving just to SentinelOne. SentinelOne has the most widespread and up-to-date coverage because of the fact that we can deploy it fairly quickly. Its rogue detection feature helps catch systems missed during initial deployment. We are the most up-to-date now. 

It saves time for the staff once it is up and running. Once the system has gotten used to everything, it just works. There is a six to eight-month learning curve for the system to get used to your servers and software.

In the beginning, we had a fair number of false positives coming across, but once the system got set up, it has been pretty much running on its own. If we are running a lot of internal IT scripts for applications that are triggering the antivirus, it might detect that as suspicious. We have to configure it to exclude things. Overall, it is pretty smart. Its automation is working fairly well for us that way. 

As a strategic partner, they have been very vocal with us. They have been communicative and supportive. The product itself is robust. We have not had any situation where it failed and broke the computer. There is no CrowdStrike-type scenario going on.

Based on the updates they have done, they are focused on advancing the product. There is a constant evolution going on. The system is getting more robust. We are advancing and not digressing anywhere in terms of technology.

We moved from ESET, and we find that the licensing scheme, particularly how the licenses are attributed to clients, is pretty nice compared to what ESET offers. We work in a highly virtualized environment. We have roughly 150 to 160 virtualized clients that are refreshed daily. Every night, the systems refresh. With the old antivirus solution, the licensing would count into the thousands, necessitating manual deletion. Luckily, SentinelOne has a feature to decommission automatically, which has been fantastic. 

One area for improvement is automated deployment. I use it through a group policy. I put in the PC name, and when the user logs in, if the PC is in that group, it attempts an MSI install through Active Directory via GPO. That seems to play a little havoc and can conflict with manual installs, causing issues where it wants to delete and reinstall the client. To resolve this, I remove the computer from the security group, and it then stops complaining. The automated installation could improve in this regard.

We have been using SentinelOne for one year.

I would rate their support an eight out of ten. The rating would be better if they picked up the phone and had someone talk immediately. We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.

Positive

We had moved from ESET.

We have not been hit since using it. I have experienced a ransomware attack only once, a few years ago, with minimal damage. Since then, I have not faced any intrusions, which is one reason I chose SentinelOne over ESET.

It has not helped us save costs. We are increasing costs because we are going more toward the avenue of protecting as a city. We have been watching other cities around us get hit, so there is more focused attention on protection at this level. We are moving to the complete license solution and looking at expanding that into Vigilance.

When it comes to interoperability, we are going to look at some integration with our FortiGate system for the firewall to help analyze the logs that come through there. We are slowly moving from stopping the intrusion to more like a preemptive, preventative focus.

To those considering using this solution, I would advise digging into the console and taking the time to learn. Some people complain and find it confusing, but understanding the system's ins and outs is crucial. The console is well laid out, so it is worth taking the time to learn it.

The quantity of detection is quite a lot in the first few months. The product has a learning curve, so you have to guide it in the beginning so it gets used to the scripts and applications that are running in your system. We have created quite a list of exclusions, and I always take the time to look at each one. Since September 2024, false positives have been reduced to one every two weeks.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.
