3 Reasons Why Teams
Replace Kaspersky With SentinelOne

Kaspersky vs.

The Long Run

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, legacy antivirus vendors fall even further behind in their ability to adapt. Not only do antivirus tools still leverage archaic prevention and detection methodologies, but their reactive, delayed approach to modernization often translates to disjointed solutions and inconsistent coverage across operating systems.

SentinelOne, in contrast, is purpose-built to protect you 24/7 against today and tomorrow’s threats. Our autonomous, AI-driven platform leads the market in preventing, detecting, and remediating modern attacks across Windows, macOS, and Linux—without the overhead and manual workflows of traditional AV. Customers see an average of 353% ROI when they switch from legacy AV providers, according to Forrester’s Total Economic Impact report.

Proven Protection

Against Tomorrow’s Threats

The shortcomings of legacy AV become evident when put to the test against modern threats and security benchmarks. While Kaspersky has not participated in recent MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK evaluations, SentinelOne’s performance has led the pack 2 years running. In 2021, SentinelOne was the only vendor to achieve 100% visibility across all 174 sub-steps with zero misses, zero delayed detections, and zero-configuration changes. SentinelOne also produced the most context-rich Analytic Detections out of all vendors.

SentinelOne, a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms, also scored highest across all 3 customer types in the Critical Capabilities Report: prevention-focused, blended approach, and lean forward organizations. Meanwhile, Kaspersky’s position has steadily receded in recent years.

One Console, One Agent for Easier EPP+EDR

With most SOC teams overstretched and resource-limited, every second counts. Those that still rely on legacy AV tools, however, spend significantly more time operationalizing their technology just to meet other vendors at the starting line. This often requires juggling multiple products and interfaces, constantly updating agents & consoles with new file signatures, manually correlating and contextualizing alerts, and tediously writing scripts for remediation.

With SentinelOne, you can perform easy and directed investigations on an auto-generated attack Storyline™ that comes with pre-built context, trigger automatic or 1-click remediation & rollback of threats, and even graduate to advanced EDR capabilities—all from a single console. Agent upgrades are easily scheduled on your terms, and no infrastructure changes are needed.

Comparing SentinelOne vs. Legacy Antivirus

ONE console, ONE agent: Centralized & intuitive operations through a single platform, includes EPP + EDR, Cloud Workload Protection, and Network Attack Surface Management	Disjointed solutions: Retroactively bolted-on components and agents to keep up with evolving endpoint demands, may require manual connection & correlation between tools
Cloud connectivity optional: Best-in-class EPP + EDR enabled by robust static & behavioral AI engines, even when offline	Archaic prevention and detection: Detections rely heavily on known file signatures and cloud access
Quick to deploy, easy to manage: Customers see fast time to value without extensive tuning and configuration	Complex and siloed: Different components often require significant policy tuning to scale
Static & behavioral AI-driven detection: Equipped to handle unknown threats and modern TTPs, including fileless and in-memory attacks	Legacy, signature-based approach: Misses fileless & advanced attack TTPs (including ransomware), also misses advanced crypter/packer use and polymorphic malware
Real-time, machine-powered attack reconstruction: Events are automatically reconstructed into an easily navigable Storyline™, focused & contextualized alerts for analysts means faster MTTR	Tedious correlation & contextualization: Investigation & hunting requires manual connection of events, manual addition of context, and parsing through false positives
Fully automated recovery: Autonomous & 1-click remediation and patented rollback	Manual & scripted remediation and legacy signature-based repair
