Suit Really in everything, what is modern cloud work especially really if you work in a global company where your IT team is not always operational hour of the business users so that everything is really in the cloud can be managed from everywhere, but we do not access to local resources anymore. That's really a good point. What is always a little bit the pressure point is that general things in cloud things are moving fast so it's always difficult to keep the teams that is using these words up to date

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.

  • Possibly for compatibility with legacy Windows OS's and non Windows OS's.
  • Some settings are greyed out and unable to change but I believe this is to protect you from making a bad configuration change.
  • Could do better with reporting at the base level subscription.

All though most of the features are upto mark, there are certain times where there have been misses to detect spam, phising emails. this might be due to the subject and content of the email being more sophisticated than standard .

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

Support Rating
Their support throughout our onboarding of the product was fabulous. They not only took the time to carefully explain to teams not as well equipped with the lingo but explained to the tech team how to teach the other teams to be successful. They never once seemed impatient or annoyed with basic questions and didn’t pretend to know something when they needed to research an answer

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.

seemless and almost transparent. can be deployed by script if needed so every endpoint on our system get's it. if you have intune it gets dumped on the the endpoint by policy so nothing escapes it

We chose Microsoft Defender XDR for the ability to correlament the dangers in the Microsoft Ecosystem, Strong Automation, and email, Identification, Estruction, Establishment Points and Cloud Apps in the same platform. This gave us the end-to-end visibility without the need to sew several devices simultaneously.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Cost-Efficiency: Microsoft Defender XDR often proves cost-effective compared to implementing multiple standalone security solutions, consolidating threat detection and response capabilities.
  • Time Savings: Its centralized dashboard and automated features can save time for security teams, allowing them to focus on critical tasks

  • 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.
