SentinelOne vs Trellix

Trellix

Platform

Intuitive, Unified Platform

Eliminate the overhead and administrative burden of managing a complex and demanding console. SentinelOne delivers a single, lightweight agent and an intuitive, cloud-native console for deep visibility across your entire enterprise—from endpoints to cloud to identity.

Trellix

Complicated, Incomplete Architecture

Trellix has a complex console and stitched-together, incomplete platform, which has gaps, including SIEM, CSPM, and more. Customers looking to consolidate their security posture may find that Trellix has insufficient coverage in critical areas.

Purple AI is the Most Advanced AI Security Analyst

Accelerate SecOps with natural language querying on first- and third-party data, hunting quick starts, natural language summaries of results and events, and suggested follow-up questions. Customers have unlimited queries, and it’s all included in Singularity Complete.

Trellix

Limited AI Capabilities

Trellix has a limited AI assistant that requires prescriptive prompting for effective investigations. It also features a consumption-based query model meaning that customers can exceed quotas quickly. This can prevent SOC teams from running the volume of investigations necessary.

Deployment

Single Agent and Flexible Deployment

SentinelOne delivers a single, lightweight agent with superior behavioral detection models and on-device AI to deliver highly accurate, real-time threat detections and fewer alerts. Customers can deploy in the cloud, on-premises, hybrid, or air-gapped environments.

Trellix

Manual and Tedious

Trellix requires multiple products in order to run semi-effective detections. In the 2024 MITRE Evaluations, even with all modules deployed—including network, endpoint and data exchange—Trellix still didn’t catch everything and had excessive alerts. Set-up and deployment is also a manual process, with poor usability overall.

Detections

Stop More Threats with Behavioral AI

SentinelOne’s Behavioral AI engines autonomously detect and block malicious activity in real-time, even zero-day and fileless attacks.

Trellix

Gaps in Detections

Signature-reliant detections and a requirement for multiple agents and products to get the job done, leads to administrative overhead and ineffective detections.

Investigations

Fast, Easy Investigations, Powered by Purple AI

Purple AI’s threat hunting quick starts, AI-enriched alert summaries, and guided investigations allow analysts to easily conduct deeper investigations and scale response.

Storyline^® automatically links related events and delivers real-time, actionable correlation and context.

Trellix

Slow, Manual Investigations

Poor usability means that investigations and effective correlation can take a long time. Plus, Trellix lacks alert details that support prioritization. With the increased number of alerts analysts have to curate, lack of prioritization can yield length and ineffective investigations.

Response

Lightning-Fast Remediation

When a threat is detected, SentinelOne’s extensive automation and one-click remediation and rollback feature instantly reverses malicious changes, drastically outperforming manual remediation processes.

Trellix

Limited Remediation Options

Trellix does not offer automated rollback on the endpoint agent. Slow, manual response actions lead to business disruption and time away from other priorities.
