Platform
Enterprise-Wide Visibility
Secure the entire enterprise with the industry’s fastest AI-powered, open and truly unified platform that provides real-time protection and limitless scale.
A Fragmented Approach to Security
Legacy Falcon for Endpoint uses different databases and requires architecture changes to manipulate data, resulting in messy normalization, fragmented visibility, and cumbersome management.
Architecture
Durable and Lightweight Agent Keeps You Up and Running
Modern agent built for today's threats, kernel access is limited to provide visibility and anti-tampering measures only, all changes occur in user space. Built-in AI to stop threats.
Kernel updates limited to version updates which are via Microsoft's driver signing process and subject to canary release testing.
Efficient and transparent resource utilization.
Risky Architecture Makes You Choose Between Security and Stability
Rigid logic rules require frequent updates. Ancient Antivirus architecture leans heavily on definition updates and IOCs to keep up with threats. Protection coverage irrelevant without cloud connectivity.
Direct cloud to kernel updates contrary to Microsoft's best practices, and introduce unmitigatable risk to customer environments and change windows - leading to either compromises on security or stability.
Heavy resource consumption obfuscated by hiding updates in the kernel.
Performance
#1 Ranked, Real-Time and Autonomous
100% protection and detection with real-world deployments and the industry's lowest signal to noise ratio, so you can stay focused on what’s most critical.
Reactive, Visibility-Based Human Response
Unless you stay up-to-date with frequent updates and configuration changes, Falcon is ineffective and creates noise—making it hard to respond fast and surface key insights while forcing you to rely more on services.
Deployment
Federated and Multi-Tenanted
Rigorously tested for critical environments.
Battle-hardened and built for redundancy.
Multi-tenanted by design, with full control over deployment cadence and fewer updates needed.
Single-Point-of-Failure Architecture
Cloud dependent, centralized architecture that requires constant updates to remain effective.
Poor release management and quality control.
SIEM
Fast, Stable, and Limitless.
Bring all your data together in one place. Ingest, normalize, and investigate data from first and third-party sources into a centralized Data Lake and streamline workflows with Hyperautomation to accelerate response.
Slow, Error-Prone, and Limited
Crowdstrike offers basic, legacy search capabilities packaged as a SIEM. This leads to a slow, error-prone, and manual normalization process and makes integrations more complicated and expensive.
Cloud
Most Awarded Cloud Security Platform
Cloud native and agentless, the SentinelOne Singularity™ Platform delivers real-time protection with no kernel level access, minimizes disruption, and leverages robust performance controls.
It also covers public, private, hybrid and on-premises environments as well as any workload, including serverless.
Patchwork of Acquisitions and Legacy Tech That Doesn't Scale to the Cloud
A kernel-based approach is not only not scalable, it’s also a nonstarter when it comes to deployment. Other acquisitions are not integrated and distract from the core offering. It also fails to provide AI-based runtime protection, with coverage limited to classic workloads only.
AI
AI-Powered Real-Time Protection
With Purple AI from SentinelOne, you can leverage an embedded AI that works in real time, requires fewer updates, and enables you to create generative AI workflows.
Human-Based Detection and Response
Charlotte AI is effectively vaporware—no autonomous AI means all detection is service dependent and rule-based detection requires constant updates.
Intelligence
World-Leading Threat Intelligence and Spatial Intelligence
Threat intelligence, as well as Google's advanced threat intelligence, are baked into the platform.
PinnacleOne risk advisory delivers high impact geopolitical intelligence to make sure you see the big picture and have a comprehensive security strategy.
Legacy IOC Based Threat Intelligence
Separately-sold threat intelligence is designed to generate revenue and delivers comic book attribution data that is of no real value.
Top insurance companies, cloud service providers, and governments choose SentinelOne technology.
SentinelOne offers machine-speed detection and response, and faster recovery that fully outpace CrowdStrike's human-based, obsolete 1-10-60 approach.
SentinelOne consistently leads in MITRE ATT&CK evaluations. Make your team's life easier without CrowdStrike’s misses, delays, and configuration changes.
SentinelOne offers longer EDR data retention than CrowdStrike by default. Choose autonomously correlated and contextualized alerts, created at machine speed.
