Blackpoint Cyber vs SentinelOne
Buyer brief
Updated 2026-04-09
Blackpoint sells exclusively through MSP partners to SMBs at $8-15/endpoint/month. SentinelOne sells direct to mid-market and enterprise, with the platform alone costing $180-230/endpoint/year before the MDR bolt-on. These target different markets entirely, but MSPs sometimes compare them when evaluating what to offer their clients.
Blackpoint's SOC acts without any approval option. Analysts isolate endpoints, kill processes, stop lateral movement and disable compromised identities on their own authority. SentinelOne lets you configure which actions require sign-off. Blackpoint includes full incident response and remediation in the base price. SentinelOne only includes IR in the Elite tier.
SentinelOne's MITRE credentials are stronger. It scored 100% detection in both platform and managed services evaluations with the best signal-to-noise ratio among 11 tested vendors. Blackpoint has not participated in MITRE evaluations, and its self-reported MTTR of 7-16 minutes is not independently validated. SentinelOne offers a $1M breach warranty and Windows Rollback for ransomware recovery. Blackpoint offers neither. Blackpoint has no Linux agent, which is a hard limitation for server-heavy environments. SentinelOne supports Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile. Blackpoint's SNAP-Defense platform uses a patented Live Network Map for lateral movement detection, a network-layer approach SentinelOne doesn't replicate.
