What’s actually different
Buyer brief
Updated 2026-04-09
Fit. eSentire puts a contractual 15-minute mean time to contain in the agreement. SentinelOne has a 60-minute response SLA with a vendor-claimed 18-minute average MTTR. If binding response time commitments matter to your risk team, eSentire's is three times tighter on paper.
Response. eSentire is technology-agnostic. Its Atlas XDR platform supports 300+ integrations including SentinelOne itself, so you keep whatever EDR you already own. SentinelOne's Wayfinder MDR requires the Singularity platform. Both cover endpoint, cloud, SaaS and identity. eSentire adds network as included. SentinelOne offers network as optional and neither covers OT/ICS.
Cost and scope. Both take direct response actions. eSentire's SOC handles all six (endpoint isolation, process kill, network containment, account disable, file quarantine and custom playbooks). SentinelOne covers five, without account disable through the MDR service. eSentire's approval model is configurable. SentinelOne's is also configurable. eSentire's pricing runs $10-25/endpoint/month across three tiers and includes unlimited IR (buyers should confirm scope). SentinelOne's platform costs $180-230/endpoint/year before an unpublished MDR bolt-on, with IR only in the Elite tier. SentinelOne offers a $1M breach warranty and Windows Rollback for ransomware recovery, two features eSentire lacks. eSentire serves 2,000+ customers and holds a Forrester Wave Leader position for Europe (Q3 2025).
