Extended Endpoint Protection, part of Alert Logic Essentials vs SentinelOne

Likelihood to Recommend

This is pretty good AV product - lightweight, easy to install, and easy on system resources. It will take some getting used to on the end user side, it doesn't scan in a traditional way, and it does not have a taskbar icon so it hard to know if it's working or installed. My only complaint would be the false positives which I know every AV system has, but the problem with Barkly is that it alerts the users with a message (which they freak out about) and it alerts IT with an email. Again, not a major issue, but it can be annoying until it is overridden. The override process is super easy though, so its again, not a big deal.

Due to the low administrative overhead, SentinelOne is a good solution for companies with smaller staffs who may not have dedicated security resources. EDR capabilities are not as extensive as some other products but basic information is available an unless you have sufficient resources to evaluate data, additional data may not be valuable. SentinelOne offers a very good blend of data and automatic remediation and protection.

Pros

Stops programs from making changes to users' system - this can be hit or miss, but I'd rather have a false positive and have to override it, then a virus on my systems.
The override system for false positives is very simple and easy to use - if a program throws up a flag, it is very easy to tell Barkly to leave it alone and it will do this network-wide, which is nice for things like updates.
Very lightweight, small install and leaves almost no footprint on your system. Also system resource utilization is very light.

Cons

There is no visible icon that it is installed unless you go into Add/Remove programs, locally you would not know its there.
If an update is installed (i.e. Windows Update) and Barkly flags it, you will get SPAMMed with alerts until it is overridden. An easy fix but can be annoying if you are on your way in and not at the office yet.
Reporting is a bit lit in the Admin console - installs, and updates, but not much else.
Getting better, but when they update their product, there wasn't much warning originally. A bit unsettling when you log into your console and see every one of your end users out-of-date.

Deep dive search is hit or miss.
Using Vigilance (vendor provided MSSP) was frustrating as they did not inform us how they reach solutions.

SentinelOne 9.0

Based on 1 answer

Compared to all the other major players, SentinelOne is truly hands off. One installed, the tool is able to manage all the major threats on my endpoints without intervention. The biggest thing the IT Dept has to do now is just clear the incidents after SentinelOne has dealt with them. Every other tool I have used requires significantly more effort to maintain.

SentinelOne 9.2

Based on 4 answers

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.

Alternatives Considered

I've found Barkly to be much better than these products at protecting my systems. It does not require the horsepower that these do to run. It uses systems resources well. It protects well. It alerts and updates well. This is a good AV system to have on your endpoints and is a sound financial investment if you are looking to protect your assets from virus/malware/ransomware.

SentinelOne has provided us better protection than other products we used in the past. We have also seen less impact on the system performance.

Return on Investment

Decently priced for AVs
Has protected against several viruses, and that right there is enough to warrant purchase, any virus stopped is money saved
Low impact on users, so they aren't complaining of slowness on their computers when scanning (it does not scan traditionally)

Solves our concern for more detailed management of endpoints.
Deployment is easily scripted and pushed out.
Fewer false positives than our previous solution, which had us chasing infections that did not exist, costing manpower.
