SentinelOne is endpoint security software, from the company of the same name with offices in North America and Israel, presenting a combined antivirus and EDR solution.
Symantec was very old school like for a constantly evolving digital world. Carbon Black Endpoint appeared to be both more user friendly and also have detection tools we found more useful to us than Symantec.
CB Defense offered a more comprehensive way to manage and protect all our endpoints irrespective of their presence on/off our LANs. It also gives our administrators dynamic visibility into the activity/processes running on our endpoints. The other solutions would require either …
We evaluated 3 other competitors and determined that Cb Defense was the best "bang for the buck" when it comes to Next-Generation Anti Virus. Their support (and sales) teams have been very helpful and offered a tremendous level of transparency. Our sales representative went …
We like the visibility in Defense. The other two products would alert on a potential issue, but details of what actually occurred to cause the alert weren't readily apparent. Defense provides all the detail of where/what/who was doing something that was alert worthy. It also …
Cb is cloud-based and has a more advanced policy management. It also has better forensics information. Cost was similar, but Cb added cost savings in terms of IT management resources. We also have the ability to talk directly with engineers and have input on feature updates.
Some of the other products did not allow you to whitelist items on a Mac. We are a heavy Mac shop so this was a requirement. Cb Defense had superior reporting, making it easy to track what was happening on a machine and how to respond. We ran known malware and zero days …
SentinelOne Singularity is also a very good product.Crowdstrike is also a leading company in EDR point of view and provide wide range of services and product.But because of last incident happen crowdstrike customer are bit hesitate going with crowdstrike.And SentinelOne …
Microsoft was cheaper, but way more difficult to get setup and deployed and to manage. VMWare carbon black got purchased by broadsoft, so I doged a bullet there.
SentinelOne Singularity is a far superior product to Symantec Endpoint Security, which is the product we migrated from, when we purchased SentinelOne. Symantec simply missed security incidents it should have been able to catch, and support has recently changed for the worse. …
In the distant past we had used iSensor through Dell. I can't say much about iSensor because we never really had it show any incidents or activity or reports. It might be better these days but from what I can tell, SentinelOne is the Gold Standard currently.
SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender are both best of industry EDR solutions. We employ both in out environment in tandem to provided complete coverage of systems and protection against all emerging cyber threats.
Webroot is a great product but did not provide the versatility that we really were desiring. It allowed to us to centrally manage, but required policy-based management, and not the endpoint detail we wanted. SentinelOne's central management provides a variety of options for …
SentinelOne is definitely next-gen endpoint protection which makes it better than Symantec or Trend in that category. It prevents attacks and installs, allows you to monitor and update on the fly and works well overall. Also it is not as bulky as other products so you don't get …
SentinelOne had all of the major features that we were looking for. The other products either required too much administrative attention or were lacking key features. For example, one could be uninstalled by the end user. We required that the installation be password …
Compared to the competition there really is no comparison. While there are many far better known endpoint protection products that have been around many years longer, SentinelOne puts them all to shame. It is the most solid endpoint/anti-virus product that I have used in over …
Only reason for choosing SentinelOne Singularity over crowdstrike was the cost because SentinelOne Singularity was much cheaper at that time as compared to the crowdstrike. Also, SentinelOne Singularity rating in gartner was higher than the crowdstrike which also gave it an …
Cb Defense works great to protect systems from known and unknown malware. It is simple to deploy and manage. You might run into some issues if you run a lot of unsigned applications or scripts in your IT environment. If that is the case, you can whitelist certain paths for your scripts to run. You can whitelist the individual applications and certs if you have them.
It works extremely well for investigating the root cause analysis of events because you can see so much detail into what was happening before, after, and around the detective incident. A weak point would be when the AI gets a little over-aggressive or doesn’t quite understand the use case for specific tools. Our RMM tool was detected as a pup.
It uses a thin, low-performance consuming, client.
It constantly monitors endpoint activity and processes, efficiently, and effectively blocking harmful apps.
It not only identifies and blocks apps known to be harmful, but prevents unknown, suspicious processes/apps from executing unless allowed in a defined policy.
We have only needed support on a couple occasions (which is a positive), but they weren't able to really resolve either issue.
This brings me to my second con, which is that we have only used three sensor packages (the installed client) and have had issues crop up with two out of three.
There are some minor issues with the platform that can be mildly frustrating, but the overall performance, peace of mind, and ROI make it worth using. The management console is intuitive and easy to learn, the endpoint clients are simple but give IT professionals enough data to make management easy and simple
Overall the support that we have received from Carbon Black has been a very positive experience. This was especially true when we were in the evaluation (POC) period and needed them to meet with us on a frequent basis. Additionally when we have had technical questions regarding deployment via SCCM, we were able to find the answers we needed by contacting their Support team.
Their support is good and quick to respond. The one issue we faced was when a non-protection issue arose there was a lot of dancing around trying to figure things out. This was frustrating as it took significantly longer to figure out issues. Lots of repetitive log gathers, screen caps, uninstalls that never seemed to resolve issues. Eventually, the product would be updated and the issue seemed to be resolved, but seemed to be the only solution.
We evaluated 3 other competitors and determined that Cb Defense was the best "bang for the buck" when it comes to Next-Generation Anti Virus. Their support (and sales) teams have been very helpful and offered a tremendous level of transparency. Our sales representative went above and beyond to work with us on making sure that the pricing fit in our budget. One of the other competitors that we reached out to never even contacted us back so they were immediately eliminated as a possible AV solution.
In the distant past we had used iSensor through Dell. I can't say much about iSensor because we never really had it show any incidents or activity or reports. It might be better these days but from what I can tell, SentinelOne is the Gold Standard currently.
It actually stooped a memory scraper from stealing credit card data from our POS system. The casino was bought from awhile back, so coming into this place 4 years ago, we had a flat network. Not good with POS System. Well, a memory scraper was released (employee downloaded a game) and Cb Defense just killed it... This was before a live response, so we pulled the system from the network.
I can't really say anything negative, at least from an ROI point of view.
SentinelOne has already proved its value by stopping attacks that would have gone otherwise unnoticed until much later in their infection process.
The Vigilance team has provided quick response to threats that were not easily contained via the automated response SentinelOne's agents provide. This has given us a significant piece of mind.
