Great threat detection and prevention capabilities, but needs to support more common development languages

  • October 06, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our endpoint security solution to detect malicious activity and unusual behavior. It is a great tool for analytics and forensic investigations, and it has a good feature for catching threats. I was particularly impressed with this feature.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to secure our endpoints.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us consolidate our security solutions. We can create use cases and workflows in SentinelOne, and analyze alerts and logs. We can also create custom policies based on our needs. For example, we can create workflows for post situations, or detect specific types of attacks, such as persistence or defense evasion techniques. We can use these techniques to create our own custom use cases, which can then be deployed in production to detect these types of threats.

After deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we were confident we would not face any endpoint security threats. SentinelOne was able to block the type of events that were a true positive. Sometimes, we have also received false positives, but SentinelOne should detect this activity. So, that was the expectation, and SentinelOne has met it. This is very helpful.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete met our business needs and requirements. It was easy to deploy and manage as an administrator, and we can manage the console without having to constantly connect to the user or machine. We can do many things from the console alone, such as taking remote sessions, uninstalling any other solutions or products, and performing cleanup activities. This has been very helpful. We saw these benefits within one month of deploying Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped reduce the number of false positive alerts we were receiving with our previous solution.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us save three hours per day of our staff's time. The single console makes it easy to manage compliance, including health check reports and the applications we are managing. We were able to identify and remediate malicious files through the console, without having to resolve the issue directly with users or other teams. This is a significant improvement.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational costs by eliminating the need for other endpoint security solutions. It is a cost-effective solution that provides comprehensive protection.

It has reduced our organizational risk by 90 percent.

What is most valuable?

The threat detection and prevention capabilities are valuable, providing development programming support that enables us to perform fair investigations. SentinelOne also provides security for installed devices for all operating systems, including Mac, Windows, and Linux, for users who cannot install SentinelOne themselves and need to connect with the administrator.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to support more common development languages, such as PowerShell and Python so that we can better use the solution.

In the release, I would like to have application management features and pre-defined command features that allow us to take control of the system.

SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We have 24/7 support, but it is just moderate.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

SentinelOne is more secure and offers better scope for threat hunting on Linux than other security solutions, such as CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. SentinelOne Singularity Complete allows us to consolidate solutions and is easy to administer from a single console.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. After completing the proof of concept, we deploy the Singularity Complete solution for our clients. We install the agent and create group policies for detection and prevention. We use a configuration management solution to deploy Singularity Complete within five to ten minutes.

One person can complete the deployment.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution in-house.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete seven out of ten.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete's ability to be innovative eight out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a mature GUI.

We deployed SentinelOne Singularity Complete in one of our client environments with 13,000 machines and 1,000 servers.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete maintenance consists of daily monitoring for updates and prioritizing policies and requires around five administrators.

SentinelOne is a good strategic partner.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete makes it easy to perform operations and investigations.

Helps reduce the number of incidents generated

  • September 28, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am not an end-user of Singularity Complete. I'm a service provider. We have a complete team that focuses on handling incidents from this platform for our customers. We are an extension of their team, and they outsource these tasks to us.

Singularity has multiple mechanisms to identify threats and transform them into incidents. The solution not only detects but also prevents threats. On the investigation side, it helps our analysts analyze events to understand exactly what's happening and why these events have been generated.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity helps reduce the number of incidents generated. We can configure it to reduce false positives, but we also need to implement a SOAR platform to automate the resolution of some frequent incidents.

Singularity Complete saves us some money because we don't need to implement any other additional solutions. SentinelOne is more powerful than an antivirus and can secure the environment without the need to implement an IPS, IDS, or a next-gen firewall. It's a good choice for a medium-sized business. The solution reduces organizational risks in terms of the continuity of activity, maintaining confidentiality, and external threats like malware and ransomware.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the rollback functionality, which is highly impactful. We can roll back deleted or compromised files. The Ranger feature is also interesting. It enables the solution to visualize the logs and assets that are not yet covered by the platform. Ranger also enables deployments and revisions. It doesn't always work, but it's effective 90 percent of the time.

Ranger doesn't require us to deploy an agent on our architecture or integrate anything. We activate and configure it, and everything works. You can choose to visualize assets that have no agent installed so we can get full coverage of all the assets. You can also tell it to block connections to any assets that aren't covered.

We can identify activities and sensitive connections that we can isolate from the network. We can set all our agents to not communicate with certain IP addresses or assets without the agent. For example, we can limit IoT devices, surveillance cameras, printers, etc. This functionality is critical for covering the gaps.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne is making a lot of moves to acquire various companies, but the roadmap isn't clear, and it is still uncertain how the new acquisitions will integrate. For example, SentinelOne recently acquired a mobile security solution, but there is no real integration between the platforms.

We also have a SOAR platform that helps us reduce the number of incidents that our analysts must handle manually. It would be nice if Singularity Complete had native security automation and integrated mechanisms to reduce the number of false positives.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Singularity for about three years.

How are customer service and support?

I rate SentinelOne support eight out of 10. SentinelOne offers excellent support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of 10 overall. It needs some improvement in some areas, such as backup functionality and performance, but it's a good solution.

Helps reduce our organization's risk and number of alerts, as well as remediate threats

  • September 27, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to protect our environment against malware, unwanted programs, and ransomware.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete for better overall visibility on our endpoints. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is excellent at remediating.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is great at ingesting and correlating data across our security solutions. I have better visibility and can see how many endpoints and groups are affected and how much the problem spread in our environment. I can see the scope of the work I need to do.

I use SentinelOne Hunter for threat hunting. It can be used in two ways, SentinelOne provides a library of pre-audit queries on different vulnerabilities, topics, and groups. We can use these queries to search for specific activities in our environment. If we have our own indicators of compromise, such as those from a CISA advisory, we can use the Scraper feature to scope those IOCs to our environment and look for them.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our alerts by 25 percent.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR.

It has helped reduce our organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

I mostly use the dashboard to view infected endpoints on unresolved threats, so that I can prioritize my investigations. In incidents, SentinelOne's remediation is excellent; we can immediately see if the threat type is dynamic or static. In other words, if it has been executed. Additionally, I like the visibility that we have into machines, as we can log in and investigate them directly.

What needs improvement?

Singularity Complete's process stream has room for improvement.

I find CrowdStrike's vertical layout to be better than SentinelOne Singularity Complete's horizontal layout.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. We have only had minimal issues with the solution's performance.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable. The number of agents available on our endpoints is based on our license.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We have one engineer who maintains SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete based on each organization's business model and what it is protecting. Organizations should definitely consider this solution when evaluating other products. The remediation feature that SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers is superior to other EDR solutions and can help remediate a situation quickly.

Alerts us instantaneously, provides granular information, and has competitive pricing

  • September 25, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an endpoint protection solution. It is our primary endpoint protection solution for our workstations and servers for protection from any kind of threats that may appear on those systems.

We have some localized virtual machines that it is running on. We do not have any cloud workloads.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is pretty good in terms of being able to fine-tune the alerting that you get. It is better than other solutions that are super noisy to the point that it is difficult to drill down. If you get an alert of something that is actionable, it is better than getting one alert and then getting five others right behind it. This solution is pretty good at not being noisy.

Luckily, I do not spend a ton of time with SentinelOne Singularity Complete unless there is an alert or a potential breach, but that just does not happen very often. Email security is the front door of protection, and that takes the brunt of any kind of security concerns. Luckily, most things are not hitting our network right now.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is pretty good at picking up things that are not necessarily malicious and alerting me that somebody or something is using something that needs attention. That happens instantaneously. It is pretty quick.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is as fast as we can ask. I can see the alert and get on it. It does not take very long, so I am not sure how we can improve more when it comes to our time to respond. We are a small enterprise. It does not take us too long to respond to things.

What is most valuable?

Being able to keep track of the endpoints and the data that is available from the endpoints is valuable. We can see the patch levels, whether Windows endpoints are active or inactive, and who is the last user that was logged on. We get a lot of granular information that is valuable even when we are not talking from a security standpoint.

What needs improvement?

The agent update is not the most intuitive process, but I understand why they do it. We have a pretty vertical 64-bit environment for Windows. That is pretty much all we have, but we get alerts for things like the new Linux endpoint or things that do not apply to us. That is probably the only thing that I do not like. There may be some way to turn that off so that I do not get endpoint update alerts from platforms that are not applicable to our system, enterprise, or network.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have had it for a couple of years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not had any issues related to downtime, uptime, or responsiveness of their infrastructure. I have not seen any reports where something was not working the way it was supposed to.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

They would far outpace the scale of what we would be looking at.

How are customer service and support?

I contacted their technical support at the very beginning when I was rolling things out, but it was not a major issue. It was just about me getting up to speed with how they do things. I do not have a negative impression of how that interaction went.

SentinelOne is a good partner. I had a few other technical support questions, and they answered them pretty quickly. They were pretty minor things, and they were always pretty quick to respond.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We were using another solution previously. It was long ago. We were using Berkeley, which was bought by Alert Logic. The Berkeley product was pretty good, but when they were bought by Alert Logic, I did not like the way they did things. It was complicated. It was not intuitive. Their sales program was a little shady. We got locked into a contract that was not intentional. It was not a great experience. They have a product that is not a direct competitor to SentinelOne. We tried it, and it was super noisy for alerts. If I tried to clear all the alerts in the system, I would not have time for anything else. We were not necessarily looking for it, but because of the platform that we were on, we tried the other offerings that were included in the platform, and it just was not a good fit.

SentinelOne is a much more robust platform than Berkeley or Alert Logic in terms of endpoint protection. In terms of the ability to be innovative, SentinelOne provides tools. If we had stronger security requirements, they have other tools that we could utilize, such as Ranger.

How was the initial setup?

The portal is cloud-based, but the agents are on-prem.

I was involved in its deployment. I am a one-man IT shop. It was pretty straightforward. You get the agent that you want to install, and there is a code that you put in that locks it to your portal. It installs pretty easily.

It requires very little maintenance. Occasionally, I check to make sure that the agent version is pushed out because that is not automatic. I get to choose when the agent gets pushed out. If there is an update, I update them when I want to.

What about the implementation team?

We did not need any help at all. It was just me.

What was our ROI?

We do not put a price on security, but we have to choose between different products that are on the market. We are constantly evaluating other products every year. Endpoint protection is not something with which there is a huge opportunity cost by moving from one vendor to the next. Our security stack is not so integrated with SentinelOne. If, for some reason, they were not the best option, we could move to another option fairly easily. The fact that we are sticking with SentinelOne is a testament that it is not broken. It is still working for us. It gives us good peace of mind about the product line, where it is going, and the protection that it provides.

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

It is very competitive with other solutions that are on the market. At least the last time we renewed, it was very competitive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I try to stay abreast of different platforms. I reached out to SentinelOne, and they put me in touch with a reseller, so I went out and found it.

The biggest thing was how well SentinelOne ranked versus the other platforms. There was also a cost-benefit of a solution like SentinelOne. We thought it would be effective for endpoint protection.

It certainly was a cost-effective solution as compared to some of the other endpoint protection solutions that were available at the time. I would not have gone with SentinelOne if it was not a good value.

What other advice do I have?

It is a very robust platform. It is a great candidate to serve small business environments. They do not target small businesses. They do not market it to small business environments with 50 users or less, but being a little more technically-minded, I wanted something that was enterprise-ready. Even though our environment is small, it was a good fit for us.

It did not require a lot of in-place support from the integrator or the reseller, but they did provide a large amount of presale decision-making help in terms of what I was getting into and what they could provide. That was very helpful. Talking to an integrator or a reseller so that you can put a person to the discussion is helpful.

In terms of integrations, we have looked into some of the integrations, such as with Mimecast. We have had some interest in that, but we have not utilized any of those third-party integrations. We also looked at the possibility of using some things with log management and being able to have a single source of how protected we are across the enterprise, but we have not yet pulled the trigger on anything like that.

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

Provides good protection and helps with network and device control

  • September 25, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use it for endpoint protection. It is our antivirus and EDR solution.

We are also using it for device control, such as blocking USBs, and we also use it for network control. We are blocking port access on machines.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Complete has saved us time. I recently did the agent upgrade. I used their upgrade policy and just specified the maintenance window and things like that. The first two times I updated the agents, I used to sit there and highlight the endpoints and run agent updates, but this time, I used auto-upgrade. With auto-upgrade, it ran between 6 PM to 8 AM, and then it ran all day on the weekend, and it was up in there. In one day, it updated 1,000 endpoints. That was pretty cool. I did not have to sit there and do the manual work. I just watched the system to make sure that the endpoints got updated. That was pretty cool. It is nice to know that I do not have to sit there, and I can just create a policy and let it go. It definitely saves time.

Singularity Complete has reduced our mean time to detect (MTTD). I get an email pretty much right off the bat. When an alert pops up, I get an email from my ticketing system, so it is pretty quick. If I am on my desk. I take care of it pretty quickly. Currently, I am the main person running this, and other people back me up when I am not around. I am hoping I can get somebody else trained on this.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. It is somewhere in the middle when it comes to contributing to our security posture.

SentinelOne has been a good partner. We mostly use Mac and Windows systems, and we were able to do device control and network control out of SentinelOne rather than through MDM. We are doing it all through SentinelOne. We did not have any conflict in the apps.

In terms of interoperability, we have plugged it into our Alert Logic MDR. It flags to our MDR. For example, if a threat cannot be mitigated or it is hard to mitigate a threat, then the MDR will notify us. Some of the things related to applications could use some work, but they are in the process of fixing this. We will then be able to update and disable applications through SentinelOne.

What is most valuable?

Device control and network control are valuable.

They updated the console, and on the incidents page, we can break down the incidents and see all attack attempts. It is pretty cool and in-depth.

What needs improvement?

The application management needs improvements, but I understand that they are working on it. We talked to them a few months ago, and it is something they are trying to get up to speed and fix. This way, we will be able to disable critical apps or vulnerable apps through SentinelOne. We will be able to patch applications or disable applications through the Application Management tab.

Singularity Complete has not helped reduce alerts. In fact, it produces a lot of false positives. It does its job, but I have spent the last week fine-tuning the system and trying to suppress false positives. I am getting a hang of it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is very good. Recently, one person had an issue, and I had to reinstall the agent. They had lost their Internet connectivity. We put in some strategy work, and we had to go in there and figure out which ports are open, but other than that, it has been very good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is pretty good.

How are customer service and support?

I have interacted with their support. They are always pretty easy to get a hold of. I never have to wait. They are helpful. They have resolved any issue that I have ever brought up with them in a timely manner. I would rate them a 10 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

It is a cloud solution. I inherited it, so I was not there when they implemented it. It was implemented about six months before I got hired. It was probably deployed in late 2021, and I started in February 2022.

It requires a little bit of maintenance in terms of fine-tuning the false positives and things like that. For example, because people use Logitech devices, I had to suppress the alerts because they kept popping up because the hash was always different. I have noticed that when a new agent comes, it can be a little aggressive in the beginning. I have to fine-tune the alerts a little bit, but that is a part of the process. I update the agents twice a year. I will try to do it more because now I know how the upgrade policy works. The only thing I am not yet good at is reviewing the Mac logs. Windows logs are easy because of the years of Windows experience and the use of Windows Event Viewer. I just got to be better with the Mac logs.

What was our ROI?

In terms of cost savings, I am starting to get into the budget, but we have not got any malware or serious incidents. There are money savings when you do not have serious incidents.

We have not had any downtime. We have not had anybody's machines compromised. It has been protecting the endpoints pretty well. It has been pretty quiet. We have not had anything that we would consider a major incident, so it is doing pretty well.

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

I do not know much about it. From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product.

What other advice do I have?

I also used SentinelOne five years ago at another company, and I find it to be way better now. It is a much more refined product. It does not actively scan the system the way it used to. It has come a long way in terms of performance on the machines. It does not hinder the performance of developers' machines. I hear no complaints about SentinelOne blocking or grinding machines to a halt with scans when developers are doing builds and things like that. It has improved greatly. Five years ago, I used to hear complaints about SentinelOne slowing down the systems, but I have not heard that once here.

We tested the Ranger functionality a bit. We were demoing it. Ranger was pretty cool for the visibility of devices, but we did not find a use for it.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a 9 out of 10.

Helps reduce our organizational risk, provides great visibility, and can correlate data across our environment

  • September 22, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to provide endpoint protection for all endpoint servers and Kubernetes clusters in our environments where SentinelOne is supported. We also use SentinelOne to help manage our systems and provide visibility into the assets in our environment.

How has it helped my organization?

We have found that Singularity Complete integrates well with our existing SIEM solution, Splunk, and some of our other system management tools, such as Okta and Armis. We are also looking forward to the additional future integrations that are planned.

I appreciate Singularity Complete's ability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions. I use this feature quite often, either to perform deep visibility searches to correlate data across different sources if I have specific concerns about security events, or even to track running or operational issues as well. Singularity is not only a security product but it can also be used for troubleshooting non-security and related issues on devices.

Compared to the previous EDR solution, Cylance Protect, we had substantially fewer false positives when we implemented Singularity Complete.

Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTD.

Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTR somewhat compared to our previous EDR solution.

Singularity Complete has reduced our organizational risk by 20 percent, specifically the risk profile associated with malicious activities on protected devices.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features, of course, are the protection and support for the devices. In addition to that, the ability to see the last log-on dates for time-tracking purposes has been helpful. The most useful feature of all is deep visibility. I think it was recently renamed to something else, but it is the ability to run IOC queries across all devices and gain information to look at any kind of potential events that might occur.

What needs improvement?

We have had cases where Singularity Complete has caused applications to malfunction. The existing interoperability rules have not necessarily been sufficient to resolve those conflicts. SentinelOne needs to work on interoperability with other systems and on the interoperability rule set.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not had any stability issues in our environment with Singularity Complete.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

With any support service, it depends on the person we get on the line. Some are better than others. But overall, I find the technical support team to be good, comparable to other good technical support teams I've seen from other vendors.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to move away from a legacy EDR platform, Cylance Protect, that did not perform as well as a modern EDR solution should.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was complex due to the complex environment. I would agree that deploying to a single device would be straightforward, but we have a manufacturing environment that requires bespoke applications, which makes any migration complex.

Fifteen people were required for the deployment.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was completed in-house.

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

The pricing and licensing make sense. We worked with a third party to help us with licensing, and the licensing we obtained through that process was ultimately reasonable and comparable to other products on the market.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

We are considering the possibility of using SentinelOne to consolidate some of our security solutions, but have not moved in that direction just yet.

Singularity Complete has not yet saved our staff time because it takes more time to deploy and migrate to the point where we have time savings. I think it will in the next couple of years.

We see a lot of innovation from SentinelOne. They are acquiring many other products that are integrating with the platform we looked to adopt in the next couple of years if it works out well. New features and functionalities are also regularly released. So, in terms of innovation, that's one of the reasons we chose SentinelOne Singularity Complete in the first place.

Singularity Complete is a mature product that can sufficiently protect our assets. I would say that the core features associated with that functionality are in place and work well.

Maintenance is relatively low, but systems need regular updates, and we need to troubleshoot all of them. So, there is some work involved.

SentinelOne is a good strategic security partner. We appreciate the direction of their product roadmap and its current coverage. One area where they could improve is in having their EDR support teams reach out to us. We don't believe we have an EDR or anything similar setup, but it would be helpful if they offered quarterly or semi-annual meetings to check in, see how we're doing, and give us an opportunity to provide feedback.

People researching Singularity Complete should first understand their environment and deployment goals to ensure compatibility between their existing solutions and the new product. They should also evaluate multiple competitors before making a commitment.

Has a nice UI, a great hunting feature, and saves us time

  • September 22, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our next-generation antivirus on our endpoint. I review detected malware and verify whether it is legitimate or a false positive. Additionally, we can control endpoints, such as correlating them or blocking specific activities on any endpoint. We also have visibility into what is happening, including what is installed, being installed, or uninstalled on endpoints.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete can help reduce alerts, but we must first add exclusions based on our existing features to keep the false positive rate low.

SentinelOne has helped our staff save time investigating and handling incidents.

It has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR.

What is most valuable?

The hunting feature is most valuable for detecting malicious or suspicious activity.

What needs improvement?

The way Singularity Complete handles blocking external mass storage is annoying because it is so difficult to unblock single endpoints. We can only add a general rule to block everything, and we cannot add any exceptions. Additionally, Singularity Complete uses different names for endpoints other than the actual actions that will happen or be taken, such as quarantining a device. This is also confusing, as the wording used by Singularity Complete is slightly different from other endpoint security solutions and can be difficult at the start.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for almost three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is extremely scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is super helpful.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

The price of Singularity Complete compared to some of its competitors is competitive.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has room to grow, but it is overall very good. It is a mature software product with an awesome UI. There are many options and actions available.

No maintenance is required from our end.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a straightforward, stable solution that is easy to learn.

A great storyline feature, dashboard, and customization

  • September 22, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for antivirus and EDR capabilities on both our hosted and internal platforms.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to harden the security of our environment.

How has it helped my organization?

Initially, we focused on our client-facing platform. We definitely wanted to ensure adequate antivirus and malware protection, and I believe we have achieved that with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Our environment is fairly large so it took us a few months to realize the benefits.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped save our staff time to focus on other projects. Our security operations team has a little bit more bandwidth now.

SentinelOne has helped us reduce our MTTD. The Storyline feature has definitely cut down on research time when investigating incidents, making the process much faster. What used to take several hours to review logs can now be completed in ten minutes.

It has helped us reduce our MTTR.

Our organization had a costly incident before we implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Since the implementation, we have not had any incidents, which correlate to cost savings.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

I really like the storyline feature. It makes it easier to tie together the processes and how they are related when investigating potential incidents. I also like the dashboard and the customization options.

What needs improvement?

The only integration that we are having a challenge with is our Rapid7 SIM solution. We have created exclusions for it, but sometimes there are still some false positives that the team works through.

The false positive rate has room for improvement.

We can build exclusions in a few ways, but one challenge is that many third-party applications spawn files with random names. This can make it difficult to write rules to account for these files. If there are better ways to deal with this, it would help to reduce conflicts between our Rapid7 solution and some of our other solutions that generate PowerShell scripts.

When agent updates require a reboot, this can be challenging for our large customer environments.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. We have not had many stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have a large environment and find SentinelOne Singularity Complete to be scalable to meet our requirements.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support ticket for the issue we had with getting the agent installed in our PBS image took almost a year to resolve, and we ended up finding the solution on our own. We had several tickets open, but unfortunately, they didn't lead anywhere.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

We previously used Cylance, which our hosting provider provided along with Endpoint Detection and Response. However, we experienced several challenges with Cylance, so we purchased SentinelOne Singularity Complete for our corporate network. SentinelOne functions and deploys significantly better than Cylance, so we asked our hosting provider to switch us to SentinelOne instead.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward for SentinelOne Singularity Complete. We had a bigger challenge installing Cylance.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a lot more functionality right out of the gate.

I recommend considering SentinelOne Singularity Complete for anyone researching security solutions.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed on our corporate and hosted endpoints. We have between 5,000 and 9,000 endpoints.

We have six people that monitor SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

Our agent updates require maintenance and close monitoring. We sometimes have to manually enable policies that are disabled due to the disruption caused by unexpected reboots. We must carefully plan these updates.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a good strategic security partner.

I would definitely recommend doing a POC to see if SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a good fit for the environment.

Helps mitigate risks, reduces alerts, and provides great visibility

  • September 22, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an endpoint detection and response solution to detect advanced threats in memory and protect our environment from ransomware attacks.

How has it helped my organization?

We are ingesting data from Singularity Complete into our team. The integration between Singularity Complete and Splunk works well, pushing all alerts from Singularity Complete to our soft tool. We have also looked at other SentinelOne products, but we only use a few of them.

We use Ranger to detect rogue sensors by scanning networks for endpoints that do not have SentinelOne installed. We do not use Ranger Pro.

Ranger is used to identify endpoints that do not have SentinelOne installed, ensuring 100 percent coverage. However, we also use a network access control tool to verify that endpoints have the necessary security telemetry and toolsets installed. The NAC tool can either orchestrate the installation of missing components, quarantine endpoints or simply notify us that components are missing.

The biggest benefit for us, other than mitigating the risks, is that Singularity Complete has raised the bar for red teaming, compared to the previous tool we were using. Some of the agent coverage in the previous toolset was becoming a limitation, but Singularity Complete gives us better coverage and visibility, both for red teaming and in general.

Over time, Singularity Complete has helped to reduce alerts. At the beginning of the implementation, we had to spend some time training the system, accepting events, and so on. However, over time, the number of alerts has been reduced.

Singularity Complete has helped our MTTD by providing broader visibility into our environment.

What is most valuable?

We collect a lot of telemetry from Singularity Complete. We then use this telemetry to search for malicious processes, which we would not have been able to see before. In other words, in addition to the standard setup that we expect, we are extracting additional telemetry from Singularity Complet to identify malicious processes and other types of threats running on endpoints.

What needs improvement?

Singularity Complete can be improved by allowing for better nesting of policies. Currently, when we create a policy and want to apply two different policies to an endpoint, we cannot do so. Instead, we must create two separate policies and place the endpoint in each policy, even if the only difference between the policies is slight. This makes the policy nesting process cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, allowing for nested policies would be a valuable improvement to Singularity Complete.

The Endpoint Health telemetry could be improved. This is likely true of all tools, but I think it would be particularly useful for us to be able to see the sensor when it is running on an endpoint and starts to consume more memory, or if there is a memory leak. This would allow us to collect better telemetry on this topic.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is stable, but there are occasional instances where the sensor monitors a specific process that starts to malfunction, which is naturally possible. In these cases, we need to investigate and add an exception to prevent the sensor from monitoring the process so heavily, if it is a valid process so that it can return to normal operation. Therefore, there is a significant amount of tuning required. If the tuning is correct, Singularity Complete operates quite well and is certainly stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity Complete is scalable. We have 2,500 endpoints. I know other organizations that have over 70,000 endpoints.

How are customer service and support?

We have technical support that we can access, but I think it could be stronger. Currently, we deal with some local support, but their knowledge is limited. I would like to establish a closer relationship with SentinelOne International support, especially for the upgrade we are planning next year. I was in Tel Aviv in June and July and visited the SentinelOne offices to speak to them about this.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

Our previous solution, Cybereason was not very good at detecting things happening in memory, so we were looking to replace it with SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The replacement had to be able to see things happening in memory and deal with ransomware attacks. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was able to meet our requirements.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was slightly more complex than our previous tool because we needed to understand and implement the exceptions. These exceptions included both standard exceptions and our own custom exceptions related to how applications behave. However, the complexity is justified by the better coverage and protection that the new tool provides.

Three people from our company were involved in the deployment, which took about six months. This included removing the previous solution and replacing it with Singularity Complete.

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

The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration. We make sure to benchmark the prices against other EDR solutions before renewal to ensure we are not overpaying.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

We started looking at the reception technology, but it was too much for us and required too many permissions. As a result, we did not proceed with it.

Ranger provides network and asset visibility, but we use other telemetry to build a data lake, which we then use to give us more holistic visibility.

Singularity Complete is definitely innovative. It offers better coverage of endpoints and sensors than our previous solution, as well as better coverage from red teams and other threats. It also provides us with much better telemetry from endpoints than our previous solution. This includes features that our previous EDR tool promised but did not deliver.

SentinelOne is a fairly mature product. I think we first looked at it about six or seven years ago when it first came out. It has definitely matured a lot since then. When we first saw SentinelOne, it had a lot of problems with automatically killing things without alerting us. However, we have definitely seen improvements in the solution from a product perspective. Additionally, there are now more modules and integrations available. We have looked at the reception part of it, as well as quite a few other pieces, including Rogue Sensor Pro. We have looked at a lot of little bits, so it has quite broad coverage in terms of what it actually will cover.

We have deployed Singularity Complete across the company and all lines of business, including our branches in South Africa and other parts of Africa. This includes approximately two and a half thousand endpoints.

Four people are managing Singularity Complete. Every six months we have to update the sensors.

We have definitely told others about and shown them Singularity Complete, and we have told them that we are happy with it. When implementing Singularity Complete, we need to know what our expectations are and, obviously, test the solution thoroughly to prevent any negative outcomes.
