Used For

• +**Ransomware starts encrypting your files at 2am on Saturday** → SentinelOne catches it in real-time, isolates the computer, and rolls back all the damage automatically
• +**Your IT team spends 15+ hours per week chasing false alarms and real threats** → AI filters out the noise and handles containment, so they focus on actual problems
• +**Malware spreads between computers before anyone notices** → Every device gets monitored individually with instant quarantine when something looks suspicious
• +Storyline feature shows you exactly what the attack did with visual timelines - no guessing or forensic detective work
• +Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux from one dashboard - no juggling different security tools per operating system

Best For

• >Your current antivirus missed ransomware and you're tired of playing Russian roulette with company data
• >Managing 200+ computers and can't babysit every security alert that pops up
• >Hit by a breach before and need something that responds in minutes, not hours

Not For

• -Small teams under 100 computers — you're paying enterprise prices for overkill features when basic antivirus would work fine
• -Companies wanting set-it-and-forget-it security — this needs someone who understands security alerts and can tune the system properly
• -Anyone hoping to save money — minimum commitments start around 100-250 devices and add-ons will inflate your budget fast

Pairs With

• *Splunk (where security logs get analyzed and your SOC team lives during incident response)
• *ServiceNow (for creating tickets when SentinelOne catches something that needs human investigation)
• *Huntress (to catch the context and threats that SentinelOne's AI sometimes misses)
• *Microsoft Active Directory (to push the SentinelOne agent out to all your Windows computers at once)
• *Jamf (for deploying to Mac devices and managing security policies across your fleet)
• *Patch management tools (because SentinelOne catches attacks but doesn't fix the vulnerabilities that let them in)

The Catch

• !The sticker price starts around $50-80 per device per year, but integrations and professional services can double that estimate
• !When SentinelOne's cloud goes down (happened in May 2025), all your devices go blind during the outage — scary timing if you're under attack
• !You'll still need to layer it with other tools like Huntress because sophisticated attackers sometimes slip through the cracks

Bottom Line

Smart antivirus that actually fights back — catches ransomware mid-attack and rolls your system back like nothing happened.
