SentinelOne: Extremely Effective
Great product, world leader
SentinelOne is The Future of Endpoint Security
Robust security with efficient threat detection, minimal false positives and user-friendly features, empowering organizations to safeguard their systems effectively
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use cases involve Endpoint Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response.
How has it helped my organization?
My positive experience with SentinelOne lies in its comprehensive version, allowing for rollback and replay of events, which is especially useful for EDR. The strength of behavior-based solutions like SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, CyberArk, and others lies in their ability to reveal the consequences of opening a file. Witnessing the impact of a virus gaining control over a computer or understanding the ramifications of opening a file adds a layer of insight.
It stands out for its seamless interoperability with other SentinelOne products and tools, facilitated by REST interfaces. This integration is particularly potent when connecting SentinelOne as an endpoint solution to firewalls like Fortinet, allowing the firewall to receive insights from SentinelOne clients. In today's landscape, where file transfers often occur through encrypted channels, traditional firewalls face challenges in inspecting these streams effectively. SentinelOne's endpoint security addresses this by analyzing downloaded files in their decrypted form, providing a crucial layer of protection. The bidirectional information flow between the firewall and endpoint security, enabled by SentinelOne's REST API, empowers proactive threat prevention and detection, contributing to a robust cybersecurity posture.
Utilizing SentinelOne has significantly reduced the number of alerts for us. We might have experienced more false positives and missed potential attacks without it. Its alert system is efficient, with a low rate of false positives compared to other solutions I've heard about. Managing alerts is straightforward, and the platform allows for creating white lists to handle false positives, such as those related to old printer drivers. The administration is user-friendly, offering features like multi-factor authentication for secure connections to the console and automatic updates within the SentinelOne interface.
It has proven to be a time-saver for our staff, significantly reducing the likelihood of falling victim to various cyber threats. By addressing the spectrum of attacks, from initial malware infiltration to potential worst-case scenarios like Active Directory compromise, SentinelOne has played a pivotal role. It effectively diminishes the probability of becoming a target for attacks that exploit stolen passwords, infiltrate the company's IT infrastructure, and escalate privileges, ultimately leading to severe consequences such as a randomized Active Directory.
What is most valuable?
The platform is user-friendly, easy to administer, and aligns well with GDPR requirements, which is crucial for us. What makes SentinelOne stand out is its speed and efficiency, consuming minimal computing resources. It operates by checking data only when it's accessed, synchronizing with the process that opens the data which is well-designed and effective.
I don't actively use SentinelOne's Ranger functionality because we haven't implemented it university-wide. While we've employed it in specific cases, my experience with it is limited. However, it provides valuable insights into past events, allowing you to trace the history of a virus download or malware activity. For instance, you might discover that a virus was downloaded two weeks ago using the Safari web browser, saved to the computer, and later opened with Excel, triggering certain actions before SentinelOne intervened. The ability to roll back such ransom actions is a valuable capability provided by SentinelOne.
What needs improvement?
It primarily operates on local machines, monitoring processes, and not always providing detailed insights, relying on external information to determine the nature of a file. This limitation becomes apparent in more complex scenarios, such as analyzing or assessing the content of files at the byte level, especially in cases involving files like Excel, where there may be some difficulty in discerning potential issues. They should consider incorporating a cloud-based service where users can upload suspicious links, documents like Excel sheets, or ambiguous files to observe their behavior in a sandbox environment. Currently, with SentinelOne, the process involves setting up a separate network and machine for this purpose, requiring users to upload the file and monitor its behavior on the dedicated machine. Offering a free and accessible service like this would be a noteworthy enhancement to their product, providing users with a convenient and efficient way to analyze potentially harmful content.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with it for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate its scalability abilities nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I am highly satisfied with their technical support; it is truly excellent. I would rate it ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Comparatively, SentinelOne has certain drawbacks, particularly when measured against CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike offers a free sandbox at hybrid-analysis.com, allowing the examination of links and downloaded files on a virtual machine. This proves especially valuable in assessing potential phishing emails. Uploading the file or link to hybrid-analysis.com provides a detailed analysis, complete with screenshots of what transpires on the virtual machine. This includes actions like the opening of links, prompting CEO impersonation attempts, and other background information. While SentinelOne may lack these specific features, its advantage lies in being an all-encompassing solution, whereas CrowdStrike functions primarily as a managed service, which may not align with specific preferences.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment of Singularity Complete involved some consultation, as we collaborated with a partner who facilitated the onboarding process with SentinelOne. While the partner occasionally provides support, larger issues are infrequent, and overall, the deployment has been relatively smooth. We have implemented it across various locations. There is some maintenance involved in managing Singularity Complete.
What was our ROI?
It's challenging to quantify precisely, but the implementation of Singularity Complete has significantly reduced organizational risks. Currently, we employ it on critical systems, constituting approximately fifty percent of our infrastructure.
What other advice do I have?
Creating separate groups for various types of computers, like Windows servers and clients, enables efficient management and customization of security configurations tailored to specific needs. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.
S1 customer success is amazing
Drastically reduced alerts, highly interoperable, and unparalleled support
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
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.
Mature, good integrations, and super helpful support
What is our primary use case?
We have been growing, but we are still a pretty small team. We have integrated it with our other software, and we are getting logs out of it. We go into threat hunting and do a deep watch. We go in there, see those logs, and make more sense of things. It has been a real help.
In terms of its deployment model, we have private companies. It is mostly on-prem, but each plant is a little bit different. Anything and everything that touches our corporate environment gets it.
How has it helped my organization?
For the most part, it gives us time to react by getting things off the network and getting that account locked down for a minute. We can let a member of our team take a look at it and move on from there instead of letting something fly under the radar and letting the incident take place or continue to happen. We can put the spotlight on the incident, make someone take a look at it, and then we can get going.
The integrations I have been working with work great. They do exactly as advertised, and they have been helping me with my threat hunting and seeing what is out there. There are always things lurking in the weeds that you just do not know about, so being able to have that correlation and more insights is always helpful.
Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. It is a small team. I am more of a one-man SOC. A lot of the incidents either come through me or someone else on the team if I am not there for vigilance, so being able to dive down and get an issue resolved quickly is helpful. I can then go back to another incident. Usually, they come in batches, so being able to go to the next one or go back to working on a major project has helped a great bit.
Singularity Complete has not helped to reduce alerts. To my knowledge, it stayed about the same. We have fewer false positives, but there are some other ones that I would rather look into. They are more on the identity side. Now that we have Singularity Identity, I am intrigued by what we will see there in terms of weird logins and other things. Now that we have the integration set up, I will get some alerts from there to go track down.
Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. When you get these new tools, you see everything that is wrong, and then you are like, "Oh, man," but at least we are seeing them and fixing them. In that sense, it has helped to reduce risks. I do not have the metrics, but we have been able to tackle some vulnerabilities and issues that have been big known ones.
Singularity Complete would help our organization save on its costs if we were not trying to expand so much. We are into manufacturing, and we grow a lot by mergers and acquisitions, so anywhere we can get security funding is a great point. It has helped us identify some things that we can do without. We can either reduce or eliminate those other tools and cascade down, so overall, it has reduced costs.
What is most valuable?
The Microsoft integrations are most valuable right now. One that I still have in the testing is putting user accounts into the high risk and letting our policies on that take place, and then have SentinelOne put it into network isolation as well until an incident is resolved.
What needs improvement?
There could be more integrations with more software. We have been looking at Palos and getting those put into the data lake. If there was a native integration for that, that would help a lot. They can just continue adding more integrations with these big brands and software security products.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been with the company for two years, and it has been there since the time I have been there, so I can only say two years at most.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of stability. It is great in terms of stability and agents working as long as you do your due diligence and you do not leave it there to run just like every other product. If you leave it there with no attendance, it is going to do what it does, but if you are in there, doing your due diligence and making sure things are set, it is great. Auto updates are something I know that was implemented. That has been super helpful, so if you are doing what you need to do, it is a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of scalability, especially because we have Ranger deployed. If we need to or if we have a merger, we can get them to put SentinelOne on a couple of devices for us and give us creds so that we can deploy to the rest from there in case they cannot get us in the SCCM or whatever else they are using.
How are customer service and support?
Their support is great. Keith Fields and Mitch Milligan are always there. They have been super helpful. I knew Keith before Mitch was even part of our account. I have been working with Keith for a little bit, and he has been super insightful on different things that I did not know the tool could do or quicker ways to do things. Mitch has also been super helpful in getting us set up.
We just bought Singularity Identity, and Keith, Mitch, and Paul have been there to give us those meetings on what we need. They really understand what our business is, and they look into our console to help us out at times as well. It has been great. 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?
It was already in place when I joined the organization. We run Defender as well. It is like a dual-stack. We have E5 for other reasons, and we use it because it is already there, but our team has gone for SentinelOne. We have had other people, especially the research teams, who want to use their own agent, but we are so comfortable with SentinelOne's abilities and what we have set up to keep us secure that we have looked away from those other SIEMs who want their agent. We have looked away from other software in the realm of MDR that may not work with SentinelOne. It is a staple piece for us that would be a hard buy to remove.
What other advice do I have?
It works great. One thing I wish I had done more in college is hands-on with EDR agents. I went to Purdue for the cybersecurity network engineering major. They had classes and labs for forensics, but one thing we did not get too much hands-on was EDR. I believe they lived in the world of Microsoft for their operations there. Since I have been working here, Singularity Complete has been a great product. We are expanding. We have gone into these other modules and platforms, and we have always had a great experience.
It is a mature solution. It has been here longer than ten years. I graduated from college in 2021 and from high school in 2017. It has been around longer than I have known cyber practices. It is a good one. Always do your research and compare, but it is definitely a top one. I believe it is up there on the Gartner's Quadrants as well. It is up there for a reason.
We will use it more as we get more tools and integrate it. Currently, some of the things are still in beta. I am not leveraging it to its full capability because things are either in testing or we are looking at the software that is going to be connected. From what I have seen and based on the demos and how the beta is going, I have to give it a ten out of ten.
Went beyond malware and showed us behaviors, and dramatically decreased our false positives
What is our primary use case?
We use it as an EDR solution for all of our endpoints. We use it for our desktop servers, cloud, and Linux. We use it for all of it.
How has it helped my organization?
It showed us things that we were not even aware of. It went beyond malware and showed us behaviors. It showed the bad behaviors of a lot of our end-users.
The interoperability is all there. We are still at the beginning of our journey, but everything is kind of teed up and aligned for that integration. We are talking about the ServiceNow integration. It has been the early placement in our cloud clusters or nodes. Those are the things that have made interoperability, integration, and adoption easier.
Singularity Complete has not helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks because we are still at the beginning, and we still have a lot to deploy, but we will realize that. I am confident that we will realize those efficiencies.
Singularity Complete has changed what we are looking at. It has dramatically decreased our false positives. We are not chasing false positives. It does not save time as such, but it has helped us focus on what is actually important.
Singularity Complete has not helped reduce alerts, but it has changed what our analysts are looking at. We expected a spike in alerts. The product is showing things that we did not previously see, so the increase in alerts temporarily for a short duration or for the next six months is expected.
Singularity Complete has reduced our false positives, and it has helped us see the hygiene of our whole network in our environment.
Singularity Complete compresses the triage time. It is all about the triage time. That life cycle going from information to action is what security operations are all about. SentinelOne does that because it helps analysts focus on those true things that are risk-behavior in our environment, rather than the validation that they were on more traditional signature-based platforms we had before.
Singularity Complete has not helped reduce our organizational risk, but it has absolutely increased our awareness of that risk. Knowing what your risks are is half the battle before an organization or a medium-sized organization, so being aware of the risk is the first step, which is available for the first time since we adopted SentinelOne.
What is most valuable?
As far as EDR goes, the behavior analysis of the incidents is my big thing.
Its non-signature-based capabilities and the heuristic analysis for dynamic threats are also valuable.
What needs improvement?
There should be full and complete integration in the single console of the mobile agent.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Singularity Complete for 18 months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable, and it has scaled well.
How are customer service and support?
So far, everything has been great. During our deployment, I have bugged them a lot, and it has been pretty good. I cannot complain. I would rate them a nine out of ten. There is always room for improvement. During their deployment, I relied on them to make sure that all of our things went fine. We had some hiccups, and they were there with us. They were there to help through everything. There were some things that took longer time to research and figure out, but for the most part, if I needed a solution, I got it.
We had a bit of a hiccup that was at the SaaS level. Keith W and the complete team made it right once they knew and understood the problem and its impact on our organization. I value that a lot.
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 before SentinelOne. We made the switch because of functionality, compatibility, interoperability, visibility, and ease of integration. It checked all the boxes that we needed. We definitely needed to go this way.
How was the initial setup?
It was pretty straightforward, and it was pretty easy to get everything out.
We pushed through SCCM, and it went right in. I had very minimal issues with all of our endpoints. The ease was right there, and basically, there was not a disruption. It was one of the easier deployments that we have had. It roughly took half the time as our previous endpoint protection solution. We did it in about nine months, and we rolled from PoC straight into deployment. The previous solution took about 18 months to cover the same population with a lot more complications and finagling to make it work.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented it in-house with some professional services from SentinelOne. Our experience with SentinelOne was good. We have no complaints.
What was our ROI?
It is hard to say, but I can say that we have seen an ROI because we have discovered things that we were not aware of. That alone is a return on the investment in my book, and my leadership understands that, and that is easy for me to make.
Singularity Complete has not saved us costs. We are not there yet. It will, but we are at the beginning of our journey. It is going to zero in on things that need to be corrected. For us, it is hopefully going to be that change agent or the catalyst for the change agent to our behavior. Technology can only go so far. We are starting to look at the behavior of how some of our business processes have been run because the risk has not been fully understood, so the costs are unquantifiable at this time, but I am sure they are there. I am confident that they are there.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is comparable. Something that I look at for the long term is how sustainable it is. There is quite a bit in the security portfolio that I manage, and we will see.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated about seven other products through an evaluation score guard criteria in-house. It has been so long since I have looked at that matrix, but it came down to analysts evaluating it against our set requirements and evaluation criteria. After that, it becomes a number, and the numbers have a certain magic to themselves that makes things more objective. The numbers just came out where the score was clear and evident based on the analysts' analysis.
What other advice do I have?
It is a good product, and it is something that has future-proofed me in my program for the organization.
I am pretty sure I made a super smart decision when I chose to buy it. The roadmap is sound. Based on the keynotes at SentinelOne OneCon23, there is a lot going on. They are dedicated to improving the product. There are a couple of things, such as SentinelOne Mobile, that cannot be forgotten. That is integral for us or our organization, but, overall, I feel pretty good about the strategic roadmap or journey that we will be on.
From a pragmatic level, it is very mature. There was a bit of a false start with the SentinelOne Mobile, which is important for us, but overall, the product is very mature and adaptable by a variety of talents and skill sets that you find in your SOCs or security operation centers.
I would rate it a nine out of ten because of the Mobile issue. This is something big, and I am a little worried that I did not see it in the keynotes SentinelOne OneCon23.
