Avast CloudCare vs. SentinelOne Singularity

It's well suited for any Windows environment. It doesn't slow the PC down and it's very effective at what it does.

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.

• Keeps the anti-virus up to date.
• Daily reporting.
• Remote tools like RDP.

• Installs on all of our Windows machines and only requires 1 reboot for the install to finish.
• It allows you to customize the UI and filters based on your use case.
• Gives a very high level of visibility into any concerns you have or should have in your network.

Incentivized

• reporting on failed backup
• duplicate reporting
• false positives

• 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.

It does everything that I need it to do in terms of generating income and protecting against viruses and phishing.

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.

Avast CloudCare is less of a memory hog than several other vendors like Norton or Trend. The ease of deployment for 1 or 100 computers is so simple and straightforward.

SentinelOne had all of the major features that we were looking for. The other products either required too much administrative attention or were lacking key features. For example, one could be uninstalled by the end user. We required that the installation be password protected to protect against end user disabling or uninstalling. One product required manual intervention for all remediation which put to high a burden on limited staff. All products are always being revised so these may no longer be issues but they had a significant impact on our decision.

• Positive: we have our customers supported better than ever
• Negative: But not really, we have lost billable time due to our customers having [fewer] virus infections than ever before.
• We had one incident where we had to credit a customer because the backup failed and did not report correctly and the customer lost some data.

• 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.
