Helps reduce alerts because it can correlate the data

  • December 11, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use it mainly for EDR, alert handling, and development. It's a detection and response tool. It is mainly for protecting endpoints and having response capabilities. We use it as the one endpoint solution for all departments and all operating systems.

How has it helped my organization?

We get a lot of data from SentinelOne about threats, and obviously that helps protect the organization.

It helps reduce alerts because it can correlate the data. It doesn't just depend on hashes. It can see the behaviors, and that helps a lot to reduce alerts. Compared to our previous tool, it is detecting 20 to 30 percent fewer false alerts.

In addition, because it has real-time detection, it helps decrease our MTTR. Within seconds, we'll get the data. And for mean time to respond, we need to collect the data, and most of it is available. So it takes us five to 10 minutes to respond after detection.

For our organization, security is very important. If a solution is protecting us, it is like saving money. With SentinelOne's features and the fact that it is in the cloud, that makes it cheaper. As an EDR tool—the best one—it helps to reduce risk; in our organization by 30 to 40 percent.

What is most valuable?

They provide a map, a process tree, and that is pretty good for analysis.

Also, it can be integrated with third-party threat intelligence tools. From that perspective, it's good. And we can ingest SentinelOne data into Splunk and correlate and provide analysis on that.

It gets data from all the endpoints, and we'll have that in a centralized place, and we can track those cases to detect the threats. It helps protect the organization in that way.

And Ranger provides network and asset visibility. We have network-level data visibility, as well as endpoint data and application layer data. It has a good feature to collect all the domains that are initiated. That helps us see if there are any malicious connections on the machines. And it's simple because Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes.

What needs improvement?

They could add more visibility on the network side. That is currently done via a plugin.

Also, it would help if they could get all the relevant threat information, the related events, in one place. Currently, we need to go to a number of places and do research. If they could have it all in one place, that would help investigations.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about one and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution and it is growing.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It can be extended in the cloud, so the scalability is a 9 out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The tech support is really good. We get responses on time, as defined in the SLAs.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The SentinelOne team helps with the implementation, and as it is a cloud SaaS application, we didn't have to do much. They have pretty well-defined documentation, and it is straightforward. And similarly, the maintenance is taken care of by the vendor.

What was our ROI?

We are seeing ROI because we are securing and protecting the company and, obviously, protecting its money as well. As an EDR, it's doing a good job of protecting the endpoints.

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

It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point.

What other advice do I have?

In terms of maturity, SentinelOne is a good tool.

It can be used in any department in an environment with Windows, Linux, and Mac machines.

Use it, but start with documentation. Once you understand the basics, it is pretty straightforward.

Advanced threat protection with impressive scalability and reliability, particularly well-suited for enterprise-level cybersecurity needs

  • December 07, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The use case varies based on the customers' requirements and specific needs.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution's Ranger functionality offers network visibility and a defined set of capabilities, particularly in terms of discovering and understanding network structures.

The fact that Ranger doesn't necessitate new agents, hardware, or network modifications is a crucial aspect for us. It stands out as one of the primary selling points, especially considering the intermittent nature of changes like those affecting CPO.

With the increasing prevalence of remote processes and a shift towards cloud architectures like SASE or SSE, moving towards a single vendor for security purposes could simplify the overall process. It aided in minimizing alerts, primarily due to the behavioral analytics component, which reduces a significant amount of noise.

It contributed to time savings for our team, particularly for the projects and tasks I predominantly handled on my own.

The solution contributed to a decrease in our organization's time to detect incidents and respond to incidents. It aided the organization in cost savings and it contributed to a reduction in our organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable features resides on the endpoint, with the rollback functionality standing out as particularly noteworthy. It seamlessly integrates with other solutions, providing a high level of compatibility and effectiveness.

The capability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions stands out as one of the strongest features. It excels in connecting incidents to create a coherent storyline.

What needs improvement?

Improvement seems necessary, especially with the focus on enhanced support. This is particularly crucial in the analytics domain, where the existing agent falls short in comprehensive performance. Additionally, there's room for enhancement in the mobile element. Although it's in their pipeline, the current state is not optimal, especially when considering the need to install it on people's phones.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is straightforward and solid. It's notably uncomplicated and easily manageable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is excellent, with a high degree of flexibility and ease.

How are customer service and support?

Mostly, we handled the support aspect for our clients. However, among the vendors, it's notable for being quite strong in terms of support. I would rate it eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

When it comes to deploying the agent across machines within the environment, it's a relatively straightforward process, akin to pushing it through the system's processor. The implementation strategy is contingent on the specific cluster, taking into account factors like the proof of concept and the desired objectives. In our case, we managed the implementation independently, involving only a few people. The deployment model is highly variable and depends on the customer's preferences. They typically communicate their preferences to us, and we adapt accordingly. Some opt for in-house hosting, while others prefer a cloud-based approach. It doesn't require maintenance.

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

The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced. I would recommend it more as an enterprise-level product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete was selected from a range of different providers, evaluated against other companies, and then analyzed to be the chosen product for our managed service. The capacity for innovation, ease of deployment, and streamlined management set it apart from other solutions. Additionally, its leading capability to correlate incidents into a cohesive storyline is a noteworthy aspect.

What other advice do I have?

As a partner, I find them to be highly effective, especially since they are increasingly focusing on the enterprise market. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

Helps to centralize and mitigate organizational risk

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for endpoint threat detection.

How has it helped my organization?

The tool has helped us streamline and centralize things with a single solution. We are a small organization with a handful of people managing multiple sites. It is a simple tool with an easy-to-use UI. The product has an intuitive and up-to-date GUI.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's most valuable feature is reporting. People with less technical knowledge can understand the things happening.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for a year.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used support yet, which is a good thing.

What other advice do I have?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete tries to go above and beyond to integrate with different vendors, which is good. It is very nice to pick a different vendor for my needs and pull in all the information I need. It is very beneficial to have a single point of activation.

As with any tool, figuring it out has a learning curve. However, getting the information easily and quickly from the same tool is nice. It is also nice to login to a single platform instead of multiple ones, which was the case in my previous company.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete does a good job of reducing alerts. We run attack tests against our network. We can create a real-world scenario.

The product has reduced our organizational risk. Any tool designed around security mitigates risk.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has centralized things and helped us save costs. It makes getting information in and out of the system easier for a small group of people.

I like everything that the product has done as a strategic security partner. They are willing to work with other companies and are not afraid of being groundbreaking. They are working on AI.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

A reasonably priced solution with EDR capabilities

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for EDR. We're in the process of deploying so log collection will be a use case later on.

How has it helped my organization?

We are certain it will improve our organization later on because today our cloud has limited AD and zero EDR. SentinelOne is replacing our current legacy and we're also getting the EDR functionality.

What is most valuable?

The tool's most valuable feature is EDR.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for two months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security's stability a four out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the solution's scalability a four out of five.

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

We chose Singularity Cloud Workload Security because our team wanted a cloud-native solution instead of a legacy.

How was the initial setup?

The tool's deployment is not complex. Our team got complex information, which made it complex.

What about the implementation team?

SentinelOne's team helped us with the deployment. We had an awesome experience working with them. There were some miscommunications also.

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

The product is reasonably priced.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security an eight out of ten.

Provides a lot of visibility, and enhances our defense and the ability to respond to emerging threats

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We perform a relatively detailed hunt in our environment for specific IOCs and indicators. Specifically in regards to compliance organizations or regulatory organizations that release data, we need to validate that no IOCs for those specific threats exist in our environment. We can go back to a specific period of time, so we can validate that things like that do not exist. We can also correlate activity in our environment with endpoint data with a high level of efficacy.

How has it helped my organization?

I have administered lots of different AVs in my long tenure as an AV EDR administrator. This is quite honestly the first one of this type. With a tool like Singularity Marketplace, getting an integration running is just a matter of creating an API key and plugging it in. It is really cool. With the Singularity data lake that we have been learning about during this conference, it looks like it is going to be pretty painless to ingest from sources that we are already collecting from and dump them straight into SDL. We have a higher level of visibility and a better grasp of the data we are collecting. There is a reduced time to detection and high efficacy correlations.

I am an analyst, and Singularity Complete definitely makes making a determination, researching a specific threat, or trying to correlate it much quicker. Instead of spending a whole day trying to research something, I can knock it out quickly and then move on to other tasks. It makes me capable of doing a job that would typically require another person at least. There is greater job satisfaction. I do not get burnt out.

Singularity Complete has helped us bolster our defenses, so the downstream impact is reduced alerts because we are able to not only triage issues but also proactively apply defense with STAR rules and things like that. We are able to reduce alerts just because we are getting protection on the front side. There is the granularity of the data that we can query through deep visibility in particular to refine our custom STAR detections. That does help decrease the work.

Singularity Complete has absolutely reduced our organizational risk. Compared to where we came from with the traditional endpoint protection, our ability to respond to emerging threats has really matured. The level of actual attacks that we have to respond to is drastically reduced. It is hard to quantify the reduction, but there is at least a 25% to 35% reduction.

SentinelOne is a big value-add to the organization. They are continually pushing forward and innovating. They are constantly developing new things. As I am learning about new features here at the conference, I am logging into the console, and some of those features are already there. I know they waited until this conference to release that, but they are still cool to see. It feels good to work with the product and to be learning a product that is not getting stale.

What is most valuable?

I really like deep visibility. Deep visibility is one of the coolest features of almost any tool that we use. The breadth of data that is collected there is valuable, and it gives us the ability to search back through literally tons of data going back a specific period of time. We typically go back 90 days for most things, but we could go back further.

The ability to pick it up is also valuable. It is very intuitive. It does not require a lot of training. For example, we had an intern over the summer who joined us. We were able to get him up and running in the visibility very quickly without a lot of hand-holding.

What needs improvement?

Something we are looking forward to is the ability of the SentinelOne backend to ingest data from other sources. Now that they are moving to the Singularity data lake, we are looking forward to being able to query data that is not just collected by SentinelOne endpoint agents. We are looking forward to being able to query against all data that we are ingesting into that backend.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for between two and three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is excellent.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is excellent.

How are customer service and support?

I have dealt with a lot of support in my time, and SentinelOne's support is the most responsive one I have ever had. However, I currently have an ongoing support case, and I am struggling with getting that escalated, which colors my overall perception of it. We are getting active updates daily though, so they are engaged. Even if we have not found a fix yet, there is an active conversation or two-way communication. Overall, their support is superior to others that I have dealt with. I would rate their support a nine out of ten.

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. The main reason for switching was the efficacy of the product. SentinelOne was tested against several competitors when renewal time came up, and it exceeded expectations and performed better than others.

The previous product was a traditional endpoint protection. It was very signature-based. It always felt like we were behind with new types of attacks and new types of malware because we had to wait for signatures to come out and things like that. It felt like we were always trying to catch up. With SentinelOne, we feel like we are better protected from the start.

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

There are cheaper options out there that I know are not as effective. I have administered several of them, not for this organization but for others. The thing I like about SentinelOne is that I know that if it raises an alert, it is worth looking at, so we are not dealing with a lot of false positives. It is rare.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Cisco AMP, Microsoft Defender, and McAfee. SentinelOne exceeded expectations and outperformed all of those. We did a bake-off against those solutions and found SentinelOne to be the most effective.

What other advice do I have?

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

Solid and mature with standard EDR capabilities

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has improved our security stack. You don't have to worry about monitoring 24/7.

What is most valuable?

The tool's most valuable feature is Vigilance Respond Pro monitoring. You don't have to have a dedicated SOC and worry about staffing.

What needs improvement?

I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete since March 2023.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is scalable.

What about the implementation team?

A reseller consultant helped us with the tool's implementation. Our experience was good.

What other advice do I have?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has freed up my staff's time and helped them focus on other tasks.

The product's interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party tools is good.

The solution has reduced our organizational risk. We have faster responses to incidents.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a mature and solid product. I like the standard EDR capabilities.

I rate it a nine out of ten.

Drastically reduced alerts, highly interoperable, and unparalleled support

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

It is our primary software platform for endpoint detection and response and vulnerabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

Our overall fleet posture and our security have increased a lot. It is much easier to get the agents out onto machines no matter what their operating system is, and it gives equitable reports back no matter what our platform is.

So far, it is one of the most interoperable applications and platforms that I have seen. There is the ease of bringing things in with the marketplace and the willingness of the company itself to work with you to help you address anything that they do not currently have.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. Being new in the department for a year and a half, I am not the one to say how much time it has saved, but it has made my life easier by several hours a week. It gives me a straight line and a story for what I am looking for, so I can quickly identify whether something is to be expected and just a false positive or if it is actually a problem. Usually, when it is a problem, SentinelOne would have already mitigated it.

Singularity Complete has absolutely helped reduce alerts. It has drastically reduced alerts across the board. There is a 40% to 60% reduction. This reduction is because it is tunable. It is very tunable, and you can tweak it to meet your needs where you are not just stuck with what a manufacturer or a software developer said in terms of the alerting that you are going to get.

Singularity Complete has definitely helped reduce our organizational risk. Our risk score has gone down by 15% to 20%. We have better coverage and better insight into what is being covered.

Singularity Complete has probably saved us costs. I do not have enough insight into those budget numbers, but they keep adding things to it, so my guess is that it has saved us costs.

SentinelOne is one of our most important partners. The help that we get from their engineers, success team, and support really and truly has been unparalleled.

What is most valuable?

I am going to be a little biased because I am a Mac guy. I have been a Mac guy for twenty years, and the feature parity and the capabilities of a Macintosh agent are unparalleled in the industry. It is the first anti-malware and antivirus that does not make you feel that you bought the wrong processor. It is really good and lightweight.

What needs improvement?

It seems like they are doing a lot with their automatic updates. They can maybe slow down the actual release cycle to make it easier to deploy the most recent and then do it using the live update. They can continue to work on that because trying to get agent changes through change management platforms and get approvals and testing can be quite difficult.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Singularity Complete for three years.

How are customer service and support?

I am blown away by their support. Every time I reach out to my customer service manager, they are returning questions after hours. You do not see that from a lot of companies. I would rate their support a 10 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We were not officially using a similar solution. We had other products that we were using, but we did not have a full solution like SentinelOne. We were using multiple things. One of them was McAfee. We switched because they got bought by Trellix, and nobody knew what was going to happen with them. That was our most recent one and what I am most experienced with.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in its initial deployment. I packaged the Jamf mobile device management installation package for our Macs. As far as security products go, it was the easiest one. The instructions were great. They were aligned with the vendor, which is something not common. Usually, it is like, "Here is what you have to do with your vendor." SentinelOne took that extra step, and it deployed right out of the box.

We have on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud deployment. Our cloud provider is primarily AWS, but we also have a little bit with Google and Mandiant, so we have a hybrid cloud. We are in the middle of a migration. The cloud is fairly new for us, and securing it has been a priority.

We have our deployment segregated on endpoint types, but our entire organization has it.

What about the implementation team?

We did it directly on our own. We rolled it out very quickly. We had been dealing with McAfee before it, so this was like a breath of fresh air.

We had two or three people working on it, so it went out very smoothly.

What was our ROI?

I believe we have seen an ROI. If nothing else, the investment that they are making, as analysts, engineers, and architects, we feel that we can get more done in SentinelOne and have a better stance overall for our organization.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

They evaluated a lot, but that was before I was in the department, so I do not know exactly which ones they did.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise listening to your sales engineers and letting them give you ideas because SentinelOne can do things that you have no idea about.

For next-generation platforms, it is at the top of what is a small stack right now, and that puts them ahead of a lot of other people.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It has been fantastic for us.

Helps to concentrate on what is needed and provide a better response to our customers

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We are an MSSP.

How has it helped my organization?

First of all, it helps us with a better response to the end users. Customers are depending on us to make sure we are making the right call, and then we are leaning on SentinelOne to make sure they are giving us the right call by giving us the right tools.

Singularity Complete has absolutely helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. The amount of time that we are spending doing work that does not keep us on target is just a waste of time. The more it reduces that noise, the better it is for us and our customers. We have been using it long enough, so it is hard to tell how much time it has saved, but we feel that we have a better solution than most of the competitors that we are dealing with.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts over time. We do not have a lot of the frustrations that some of our competitors do, which is our advantage. We have been using it for so long, so we do not have much to compare it to in terms of alert reduction. We are also partners with a competitor. We had to do that for a contract, and we get a lot of false positive noise coming out of that one.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk, but because we have been with it for so long, it is hard to compare it to others.

Singularity Complete helps us save on costs. We continue to get more volume, reduce our costs, and reduce our waste of time, but it is hard to compare the cost savings because we have been using it for so long. We have smooth operations, and we are just keeping it going. We are enjoying all the added features.

SentinelOne is our main strategic partner when it comes to the protection of our customer's data. We have not had a bad incident, and with the reputation that SentinelOne has in the vertical we deal with, it is the gold standard. We start with that, and then we are viewed as more of a serious partner than some of the lesser products that are out there.

In terms of Singularity Complete’s interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and other third-party tools, we are an MSSP, so we have to deal with a lot of other tools. The integrations are huge for us. It sounds nice to say this is the only solution and you have to use x tools, but it does not work in the real world, so you have to have those integrations.

What is most valuable?

The overview is valuable. There are a lot of instances out there, but Singularity Complete cuts the noise down by giving us graphics and color-coding information instead of massive tech dumps. It helps us concentrate on what is actually needed versus just the noise. There is just so much noise. It brings us the information we need to look at quickly.

What needs improvement?

The improvement could be in terms of reducing more noise and continuing to cut that down. AI seems to be the big thing with Purple. We are excited to get our hands on that.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Singularity Complete since its inception. It was probably 2016.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is fantastic. We have no problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not hit the top end. We are probably running 10,000 agents and have not seen any degradation in the portal.

How are customer service and support?

Their support is very good. We have not had anything come up against that, and our staff has learned to depend on SentinelOne, which, as management, is a little uneasy because we are operating without a net besides SentinelOne in some cases. What we are paying for it is worth it. There is this peace of mind. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Years ago, we were probably running four to five solutions, but then we kept comparing it with them. We were like, "This is the noise we are getting from X. Let us load SentinelOne." The noise reduced with SentinelOne. That proof of concept worked for us.

We currently have an agreement with a competitor where we have to pick up the remaining part of their contract. That is not a place where we are going to increase our expenditure, but we are waiting for that contract to come to an end. The customer knows SentinelOne, but they are tied into another solution till the end or mid of 2024. We are just waiting for that. What makes SentinelOne Singularity Complete different from others for us is the peace of mind. We know we are covered, and we feel that we are covered. Anytime we have had an incident or event, they have always been there for us. They have responded quickly, and we have not had any flashbacks or second attempts at it. Usually, we could stop it the first time, and that has worked for us in all the years we have been with SentinelOne.

How was the initial setup?

It is easier now than it was back then. We deploy it every month on somebody new. We have enjoyed that.

Just yesterday, we had a customer convert from a separate partner to us, and that migration from company to company within SentinelOne was flawless. It was just us doing the migration. We have been there for so long, so we just bring it straight across. The process is very straightforward and easy. This partner of SentinelOne was going to uninstall the agents, and I paused them and asked them to just transfer. They had never gone through that before. We took that over and moved all the agents over without any loss of coverage to the actual customer.

What about the implementation team?

For deployments, we have a staff of 40, but onboarding is a no-brainer.

What was our ROI?

We have seen an ROI. It is a very profitable investment for us. SentinelOne is very valuable, and with our price being lower than the expectations gives us a great margin.

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

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

What other advice do I have?

To someone who is researching Singularity Complete, I would say that you can read all the information, but the proof is in the actual work and the history that it has so far. We have got no complaints about the quality and maturity of this solution.

Make sure you are comparing it to whatever you have because that gives you comparative data. If you walk in, sometimes, you do not know you are getting the best of breed right there.

It is a ten out of ten for me, and it gives me peace of mind.

Provides deep analytics for threat hunting, but the speed of investigation of the service team should be improved

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an MDR solution. It is used mainly to detect advanced threats in our teams and on-site teams.

How has it helped my organization?

I have used two different vendors before Singularity. Each had its pros and cons. However, Singularity is the most complete tool for EPP and EDR. From a financial, operational, and performance point of view, it is very efficient to have a single solution.

What is most valuable?

Ranger is a good feature. The XDR functionality provides the timeline of the attack. The product provides deep analytics for threat hunting. My team uses it to detect incidents and for threat hunting. I like the app inventory feature. It is very good for detecting unauthorized apps by our security policy.

What needs improvement?

I have raised a couple of comments regarding the speed of investigating incidents and performing analysis by the MDR service team. We are a telecom company. We are sensitive to the information of the users. The speed of investigation of the MDR service team must be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is pretty stable. It didn't create any issues on the endpoints, laptops, and PCs.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't tried to scale the tool yet, but the solution will be scalable after we increase our license.

How are customer service and support?

The support team is very collaborative. We have a dedicated account manager who is also a part of our support line. We do not face any delays or major inconveniences from the support team. I rate the support an eight out of ten. I will give it a ten out of ten when SentinelOne has better coverage in the Middle East.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

I have used Kaspersky, CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black. After using these solutions for a year, I chose Singularity Complete. The other solutions are existing products and are leaders. However, Singularity Complete is better than them from a financial and technological perspective.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not complex. It's similar to any endpoint solution implementation. We require one staff to deploy the solution. We mainly use AWS as our cloud provider. We also use GCP.

What about the implementation team?

We did the implementation ourselves. It was like any other solution. We faced similar issues. They were not big issues, though. It doesn't require a lot of technical expertise.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment because we have saved at least 50% to 60% since we bought the tool. It is an achievement when we get one solution instead of two at 50% less cost. It improved our KPIs.

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

The licensing is convenient, straightforward, and very clear. I care more about the breakdown of the license than the licensing itself. Some vendors have very complex licensing schemes. SentinelOne's licensing scheme is very clean.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Carbon Black has a competitive version of Singularity Complete, but it is not at the same level as Singularity Complete. It lacks features like threat hunting and Ranger. So, I chose Singularity.

What other advice do I have?

We didn't have any major issues related to the integration. However, we had some issues related to the implementation on the server site. It was solved by upgrading the agents. Initially, we had a couple of issues related to integration, but after that, it was solved.

The solution gives us more visibility into alerts but doesn't reduce them. It might help after we conduct the patching and vulnerability management, but we haven't tested it yet.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. We have a full-fledged SOC team that uses SIEM tools. We use it to complement our SOC and our XDR and MDR solutions. We have Singularity Complete as a technology for further investigation and threat hunting.

When we get an alert from the SOC team, we use the tool to do the analysis and threat hunting in 30 minutes per incident. It is a considerable saving in the team's time because we have limited engineers and security analysts. The tool saves 50% of the staff's time.

The product has helped us save on operation and acquisition costs by 70%. We have replaced two solutions from other vendors with Singularity Complete. Singularity Complete has surely helped reduce our organizational risk. We had a lot of alerts from the previous vendors. Now, we see fewer alerts.

Compared to its competitors, Singularity Complete is very mature. It exceeds in some areas, especially in threat hunting. I have seen other solutions. They have very strong capabilities in detection but not in threat hunting. Singularity Complete makes a difference with our analysts when they perform threat hunting and threat analysis.

I like the product's vision very much. Everything has to be on a single agent, and the integration is very much worked on. It has a very good integration roadmap. It has a very complete and strategic vision. It doesn't sell only endpoint products. I like the completeness of its vision.

People who want to buy the tool must test all the features to see how they will get value from the product because it's very complex and feature-rich.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
