MITRE ATT&CK:
See How Microsoft Stacks Up

In the 2022 MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation—the most trusted 3rd party performance test in the industry—SentinelOne achieved record-breaking results, delivering 100% protection across operating systems with the fastest threat containment and with the most analytic detections 3 years running. The SentinelOne Singularity platform consolidated the 109-step campaign into just 9 console alerts out-of-the-box, providing 99% visibility and automatically providing analysts with the context & correlation they need without extensive setup.

On the other hand, Microsoft had to leverage all of its different security products across identity security, endpoint security, cloud application security, email security, and several operating system capabilities to complete the evaluation. Not surprisingly, this complex product mix resulted in Microsoft being forced to pause the assessment 13 times to make configuration changes. Still, they could only provide analytic detections for 98 of 109 substeps.

3 Reasons Why Teams Trust Singularity XDR Vs. Microsoft Defender XDR

One Console For
Complete Visibility

Microsoft requires SOC analysts to jump between 3 management consoles to perform investigations. With SentinelOne SOC analysts benefit from one management console for all their needs.

Proven Technology
Reduces Time To Detect

During the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation Microsoft failed with 24 missed detections and 35 configuration changes. SentinelOne provided 100% visibility, had the highest analytics coverage, the most telemetry, and all that without a single configuration change or delay.

Best-In-Class Cross-Domain Mitigation

Microsoft has only rudimentary mitigation actions and most of them only work on the latest versions of Microsoft’s own technology stack. With SentinelOne, organizations can defeat cyber threats by automating and orchestrating a unified response and remediation strategy across different domains.

Comparing SentinelOne Vs. Microsoft Defender XDR

FREEDOM TO CHOOSE VS. ONE SIZE FITS ALL

  • SentinelOne goes beyond a marchitecture that involves the complex deployment of multiple products. With Singularity XDR, customers access a leading autonomous XDR platform with one management console.
    		•
  • To enable Microsoft Defender's XDR platform customers are forced into procuring, deploying, and managing multiple products. Customers end up with Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Microsoft Sentinel.
    		•
  • Singularity XDR extends its capabilities to cloud applications, network, email, and identity with 1-click integrations available through the Singularity Marketplace.
  • Microsoft Defender XDR requires deployment and management of multiple platforms with limitations controlled by a single vendor.
    		•
  • SentinelOne has enterprise grade multi-tenancy and role-based access environments
    		•
  • Microsoft Defender XDR has limited role-based access capabilities that don't support native multi-tenancy
    		•

    EASILY INGEST ALL YOUR DATA

  • Singularity XDR enables organizations to seamlessly ingest all structured, semi-structured, and unstructured telemetry across the digital estate. Furthermore, with easy 1-click integrations, no complex API work is required.
    		•
  • Besides rudimental options to ingest IOCs to Microsoft 365 Defender, there is no option to ingest 3rd-party telemetry. Customers who need 3rd-party data ingestion are forced into Microsoft's SIEM solution.
    		•

    INDUSTRY-LEADING AUTONOMOUS RESPONSE

  • Automatically respond to most alerts as they are getting raised. Furthermore, turn Deep Visibility queries into automated hunting rules that automatically trigger alerts and responses in near real-time.
    		•
  • Automatic investigation and remediation are only available on a small subset of alerts. For the most part, customers need to write complex playbooks in Azure Logic Apps to automate response actions in Microsoft Sentinel.
    		•

    DISCOVERY AS DYNAMIC AS YOUR ATTACK SURFACE

  • Quickly roll out the Sentinel agent to unmanaged endpoints across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
    		•
  • When it comes to automatic deployment of the agent to unmanaged endpoints, customers are out of luck as Microsoft has no capability.
    		•

    VALUE-ADDING SERVICES

  • SentinelOne offers industry-leading Managed Detection Response (MDR) service.
    		•
  • Microsoft only offers a Managed Threat Hunting service and even that is not available for all customers.
