- MSPs seeking a purpose-built MDR platform with autonomous SOC response for their SMB clients
- SMBs (via MSP partners) wanting fast incident containment without managing security in-house
- Microsoft 365 environments needing endpoint, cloud and identity coverage through one provider
Choose SentinelOne if
- Organizations already running SentinelOne Singularity wanting platform-native MDR without adding another vendor
- Government and regulated industries needing FedRAMP Moderate and High certified MDR with $1M breach warranty
- Teams prioritizing AI-first detection with Purple AI Athena and unique Windows Rollback ransomware recovery
- You need Cloud and Identity coverage included in base pricing
- Breach warranty matters to you (SentinelOne offers one, Blackpoint Cyber does not)
What’s actually different
Buyer brief
Updated 2026-04-09
Fit. 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.
Response. 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.
Cost and scope. 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.
