Avast CloudCare vs. SentinelOne Singularity

Avast CloudCare is great when it comes to ease of installation and GUI. Working inside the web portal is pretty self-intuitive. Some of the issues revolve around computers coming up missing from the portal or from computer jumping sites.

I'm not sure about pricing but I have heard from larger companies that it was not very accessible because of their size. We are a small company and we also utilize a SIEM which helped offset costs right off the bat. I think it makes 100% sense for IT departments that don't have enough staff to monitor their environment in depth.

• 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.

• The base web portal as it is going away at the end of the year.
• Tech help is very lacking.
• Several times computers lost the AV and had to be reinstalled.

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.

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.

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 used to use Norton AV exclusively for all our business and home users, but it got to where it was using a lot of system resources and would slow down some computers. We selected Avast cloud care since it was a lighter weight program and provided great results as far as protection.

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 us to deploy and manage.

• Avast CloudCare has stopped one of our customers for downloading a virus.
• Reporting on immediate threats so we could deal with the issue before it infected the network.
• Was alerted of an issue and was able to set a full scan on the entire network with one function.

Incentivized

• 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.
