SentinelOne Singularity vs. Sophos Intercept X for Server

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.

We recently had a malware incident in our organization where we lost some of our files from the system and we were not able to detect the threat. That's when we deployed Sophos. Sophos Intercept X ticks all the boxes. It has helped prevent unauthorized programs from running and provides a managed threat response. The best part is its ability to recover files automatically.

• SentinelOne provides excellent protection against known and unknown attacks to our endpoints.
• The recovery option provides a fast, first line of defense against ransomware and other system damaging attacks.
• SentinelOne requires minimal administrative support making it a very cost effective and efficient solution.

Incentivized

• Baseline policies
• Central management
• Secure

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Reporting isn't as detailed as it could be.
• The wait times for support are very long.
• There is no way to push the installer out.

Reliable for simple installation and above all efficient

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

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.

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.

We have been utilizing Sophos Intercept X for Server for many years now, but previously we used Symantec. This was before a push for everything into the cloud - so I feel a fair comparison of the products is not possible. Symantec worked for us at the time, but I'm not fluent in current offerings from them.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Prevented virus/hacker attacks on our servers
• Have blocked applications that we do not allow
• Saved time on tracking virus, ransomware etc.
