SentinelOne vs Cybereason

SentinelOne and Cybereason Endpoint Protection Platforms perform many similar EDR tasks. Both businesses have offices in Boston and Israel and independent comparison sites such as PeerSpot (formerly IT Central Station) regularly pitch them against each other. Particularly because both of their platforms are renowned for streamlining threat hunting amongst their customer base.

Whilst SentinelOne is a Leader on Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection, Cybereason is a Visionary. SentinelOne also performed far better than Cybereason in the MITRE ATT&CK APT29 2020 testing.

But perhaps the biggest difference between SentinelOne and Cybereason is price, with Cybereason starting at $50 per endpoint (according to our research) compared with $4.16 per endpoint for SentinelOne.

If you're looking for a next generation endpoint protection solution and these two are on your list, here's a direct comparison page to help.

Endpoint Protection: Key considerations

• Is it easy to deploy and manage?
• Is it dependent on cloud command and control for detection and response?
• How effective has it been against zero-day attacks?
• Do you have feature parity across Windows, Mac and Linux?
• How does it perform in real world test scenarios?
• What do other customers say about it?
