Additionally, Trend offers public tools for decrypting certain ransomware strains.

3 top reasons why Trend outpaces SentinelOne

Unified, simplified operations


SentinelOne’s deployment can require extensive tuning and can involve significant training due to multiple interfaces and configurations. Trend Vision One consolidates visibility, detection, and response capabilities into a unified, intuitive platform, powered by decades of advanced threat intelligence and automation, making robust security accessible for all users without added complexity.

AI-powered proactive protection


While SentinelOne relies heavily on embedded AI for endpoint-focused security, Trend Vision One leverages the power of Trend Cybertron, an industry-leading proactive AI ecosystem. Built upon 35 years of threat expertise, Trend’s AI-driven approach identifies vulnerabilities and predicts threats across endpoints, cloud workloads, email, and networks before they become security incidents to deliver comprehensive protection. 

Comprehensive response


SentinelOne’s ransomware recovery methods depend on third-party technologies, which can introduce reliability issues and performance challenges. Trend Vision One offers robust, native ransomware protection and recovery, automated remediation, and comprehensive response actions spanning endpoints, email, networks, cloud, and identity environments for dependable and effective incident response.
