so there are PCs Missing AV we have to manually audit to find.

Its almost invisible to the end users and doesn't cause resource consumption from his machine

Director of IT

The machine learning and AI behavior capabilities are impressive.

Security Analyst

Its autonomous endpoint protection, powered by AI, offers unparalleled detection and response capabilities.

It takes some time to tune it to our needs

Network Engineer

Sentinel One is a top notch Cyber security product that saved one of our customers from a large wide Malware/virus threat.

Cloud Engineer

The updates fail sometimes and require a complete reinstall of SentinelOne and it can get a little difficult, sometimes requiring to use the cleaner tool and get into safe mode.

IT Manager

All of the workstations with it are running well and it has caught and cleaned up several infections and issues missed by previous solutions.

Head of SecOps, XDR and MSSP

They still haven't completely consolidated their Dashboards. So depending on the SentinelOne product or packages you  purchase you will unfortunately have to navigate multiple Dashboard.

Owner

Wonderful Management Portal, Easy To Use, Implemented it with my PSA, SuperOps, Low Memory Footprint, and Storage.

IT Director

Network security and threat detection is a huge issue in the world and Sentinel One delivers.

Software Engineer

actively monitors and protects against malicious theats; protected my computer from installing a malicious code editor.

Help Desk Manager

I liked how easy it was to learn the platform, coming from a business where I did not a similar platform transitioning was easy.

Send what I want to highlight is that they don't have any knowledgebase available on google, how to configure, manage, etc.

I have watched it in real time restore a client's encrypted files (ransomware related encryption).  

vCIO

Strong threat detection, automatic remediation, easy deployment, and a clear dashboard that makes managing endpoints simple.

I guess it would be that the price was higher than another provider and of course having a recent security breach doesn’t help.

In the above case, the only option left is formatting the endpoint if you want to remove it from your endpoint.

Chief Technology Officer

Also setting up the scanning profiles for the first time is a little challenging.

I the major con that I had issues with the S1 portal was deleting or uninstalling an endpoint or updating endpoints.

I feel I am in control; with other AVs, I feel I am just looking at logs.

I recently had to approve it tagging Norton VPN and it would not approve the entire string of hits.  

This malware detection software is fantastic!

Vulnerability Assessor

I like most about behavior analysis using AI to detect and respond.

Cyber Manager

The support that we get from the MDR team is not the best.

The software was very simple to deploy and ran seamlessly in the background.

Some settings are complex and need extensive knowledge to understand and operate.

I have a great experience with S1 and their SOC was always helpful and attentive to my needs and kept me informed throughout any issues I had.

NOC lead

It is a great EDR solution we can integrate with our SOC.

System Administrator

Sometimes agent does not connect to cloud.

The level of protection it provides my clients is amazing.  

Reduces the manual working of the organization security team.

Its effective protection against malicious threats.

Account Executive

I never have to worry or think about an attack happening.

Should sentinel one consider the Quickbooks exceptions and ms office specifically excel

Director

Sometimes S1 will grab and stop things prior to Huntress and vice versa, however S1 gives a great deal of information as to why, how and when it finds something.

System Engineer

Developer

Overall S1 is a fine product, and I prefer it to other antivirus solutions.

IT infrastrucute and security

so, using SentinelOne's visibility feature you are able to hunt down events on your endpoints. and create alerts based off custom queries.

Easy to make exclusions and other configurations.

Agent installation is easy and light on devices.  

Client Security Supervisor

Whitelisting catalog helps with common applications getting set up appropriately for customers.

Overall I think Sentinel one is great value for the service that you get.

I have been a loyal Kaspersky fan for many years but Nothing close to what SentinelOne  can do.

As an administrator the web interface could be a little easier to remediate and disable agents when necessary.

It is a reliable EDR solution at a good price.

Assistant Director IT

rollback feature is awesome, threat hunting is very good and visualization of events with deep diving is something which helps to understand the overall threat landscape
