How to choose the right EDR? The checklist of questions to ask:
HarfangLab vs. SentinelOne
HarfangLab offers a lightweight security solution designed to facilitate cybersecurity experts’ work. It delivers all the information needed about detection rules and alert origin, as well as the visibility of information system protection. The whitelist system provides numerous options for effectively reducing alert fatigue, and the On-Prem version meets the constraints of Air-gapped environments.
SentinelOne is very resource-intensive on the server side, and requires a reboot when endpoints are uninstalled. In the event of total uninstallation of the solution, the entire IT fleet must be rebooted.
HarfangLab consumes very few resources thanks to its lightweight agent, and guarantees fully flexible and frictionless installation, updates, and uninstallation.
Visibility into the information system protection and the alerts’ origin is insufficient with SentinelOne. In addition, AI-generated blocking can appear random, with limited information on origin and context. The granularity of whitelists is low (3 levels), and the number of false positives is high.
HarfangLab is a transparent, open solution that provides access to detection rules and information on the origin of alerts to understand the context and investigate effectively. The whitelist system offers high granularity by combining different detection engines and processes so false positives can be optimized with greater efficiency.
SentinelOne gives access to 14 days of data by default. An extension to 90 days is possible, but only for the highest-tier packages.
HarfangLab provides 30 days of data by default, and the 90-day extension is available for all packages.
SentinelOne provides little information to contextualize security events, which can slow down investigations. The solution enables rollbacks of up to 3 hours, but does not guarantee upstream blocking of ransomware.
HarfangLab gives full access to data to contextualize security events. The Ransomguard engine blocks ransomware attacks upstream, and the solution recovers complete telemetry to enable effective investigations.
SentinelOne updates must be deployed manually in batches of 1500 endpoints. Servers need to be restarted.
HarfangLab ensures regular, automated updates for the entire information system, on the fly and without endpoint restarts.
SentinelOne’s hybrid operation is not suitable for Air-gapped environments.
HarfangLab On-Premises operates autonomously, without calling on Cloud services to meet the requirements of Air-gapped environments.
