SentinelOne Singularity alternatives are sought by small and mid-sized IT teams who bought an autonomous EDR platform and then met its price ladder, and by buyers who want the endpoint agent from a vendor they already use for email, identity or cloud. Most move to another EDR platform of similar scope, a managed service run by someone else, or a lighter antivirus-plus-EDR product with published per-device prices.
Short answer: The first three alternatives to SentinelOne Singularity in our endpoint security ranking are CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Sophos Endpoint. Places 1 to 3 go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category, wherever the category has them; the established names follow from place 4 in their ranked order. Choose CrowdStrike Falcon if you want the other leading EDR platform and are happy to buy modules as you grow. All 12 alternatives below are ranked products from Best Antivirus and Endpoint Security in 2026, and each says where it differs from SentinelOne Singularity.

01
Why buyers look past SentinelOne Singularity
01
The price climbs a step for each capability you need
SentinelOne publishes Singularity Complete at $179.99 per endpoint per year and Singularity Commercial at $229.99, with Singularity Enterprise sold on request. The step matters because Complete keeps 14 days of data retention, while Commercial and Enterprise keep 90 days, and identity detection and response sits on Commercial and above. A team that picks Complete and later needs three months of history is looking at the next tier.
02
The listed price is a starting point, not the invoice
The pricing page states that the prices apply to 5 to 100 workstations, exclude taxes, and that purchases go through an authorised partner whose price controls where the two differ. Buyers who expected to order online therefore end up in a reseller conversation, and the number they compare against competitors with a cart is not yet the number they will pay.
03
A platform when you wanted an endpoint tool
Singularity is sold as one platform covering endpoint, identity, mobile, cloud workloads and a managed MDR service (Wayfinder). That breadth suits a team that will use it. An office that needs protection on a few dozen laptops can find that it is paying for a console designed for a security operations centre that it does not have, and starts comparing products built for small IT teams.

What each one does differently

CrowdStrike Falcon
United States · Per device per year, published for Go, Pro and Enterprise; Complete MDR quoted
The nearest like-for-like EDR platform. CrowdStrike lists Falcon Go, Pro and Enterprise at $7.99, $14.99 and $19.99 per device (shown billed monthly) on a public cart with a 15-day trial, and sells Falcon Complete as managed detection and response. Modules multiply under Falcon Flex, which makes the total harder to forecast.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you want the other leading EDR platform and are happy to buy modules as you grow.
United States · Per user per month, published; included in E5
Defender for Endpoint comes in Plan 1, Plan 2 and a Defender for Business edition, and Plan 2 is included in Microsoft 365 E5. It covers Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS and feeds the same Defender portal as Microsoft's identity and email products. It is strongest inside a Microsoft estate and has no autonomous rollback pitch of its own.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you already license Microsoft 365 E5 and would rather not pay for a second agent.
Sophos Endpoint pairs endpoint protection and EDR with Sophos MDR, a 24/7 managed service the vendor says serves more than 600,000 customers. Sophos is a UK company (Sophos Ltd.) and has been named a Gartner Leader for 17 consecutive reports. Pricing is quoted through partners, not published as a cart.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you want someone else to watch the console around the clock and prefer a UK vendor.
Japan · Quoted; credits allocated across modules and workload types
TrendAI Vision One is a broad enterprise platform spanning endpoint, email, cloud, data, network and identity security, and the vendor lists sovereign and private cloud deployment options. It is a larger proposition than a single agent and is licensed as a platform, so a team with only endpoints to cover will use a fraction of it.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you need one vendor across endpoint, email and cloud and have a sovereignty requirement.
Romania · Per endpoint per year, published for small business
GravityZone Business Security is bought online for 1 to 100 devices and includes ransomware mitigation that restores files from backup copies, network attack defence and a risk management module. Bitdefender is headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. Its small-business edition is a simpler console than SentinelOne's and does not claim autonomous response.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you run up to 100 devices and want a European vendor with a published purchase path.
ESET describes itself as European based and privately held, and sells ESET PROTECT in ready-made plans plus an ESET PRIVATE tier for large organisations. It adds 24/7 MDR from ESET experts and stresses a light footprint and few false positives. It is a prevention-first product, with less of SentinelOne's autonomous remediation story.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you want a long-established independent vendor and care about performance on older machines.
WithSecure was founded in Helsinki in 1988 and says it is privately held and independent. Elements is modular, with exposure management, extended detection and response and Co-Security services, where WithSecure staff work alongside your team. The vendor is Finnish and the product is pitched to organisations that want that arrangement, not a fully autonomous agent.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you want a Finnish, independent vendor and a services partner inside the product.
ThreatDown, the Malwarebytes business line, became an independent company in 2026 with Marcin Kleczynski still CEO of both. It publishes bundles from Core upward with ransomware rollback of up to 7 days, EDR, patch management and an optional MDR. It is built for small teams and has no cloud workload or mobile platform scope.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if a small IT team wants EDR, patching and rollback in one bundle at a published price.
United States · Quoted per organisation; enterprise agreements
Symantec Endpoint Security is the long-standing enterprise product now sold under Broadcom, aimed at large organisations buying through enterprise agreements, not at small teams comparing carts. It is a legacy-estate choice, and the vendor page we could fetch did not show pricing or feature detail, so we describe it only as a Broadcom enterprise product.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you already hold a Broadcom enterprise agreement and want the endpoint product inside it.
Kaspersky Next sells online in two tiers, EDR Foundations and EDR Optimum, with XDR and managed MXDR editions above them, and all business products go through partners. The company's history gives a Moscow headquarters and its European contact address is in Zurich. The origin raises procurement questions for some buyers that the others here do not.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if your procurement rules allow it and you want tiered EDR with a managed option.
Avast Business targets small businesses with endpoint protection and antivirus, and the site is copyright Gen Digital Inc. It is a conventional antivirus-first product with a recent Web Control addition, not an autonomous EDR platform, so it suits offices whose need is basic malware protection rather than threat hunting.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you only need straightforward antivirus for a small office and no EDR.
IObit Malware Fighter is a consumer anti-malware tool for Windows PCs, with a free edition and a Pro edition at 19.95 US dollars a year for one PC on promotion, which uses a Bitdefender engine. It has no central console, EDR or response features, so it replaces SentinelOne only for a handful of home-office machines.
Switch from SentinelOne Singularity if you protect a few Windows PCs and do not need a management console.
When SentinelOne Singularity is still the right choice
SentinelOne remains the right choice when a team wants autonomous detection and one-click rollback and will use the wider platform. Its identity, cloud and mobile modules and its Wayfinder MDR sit under one agent and one console, and it has been named a Gartner Leader in endpoint protection for six consecutive years. If you run mixed Windows, macOS and Linux estates, need 90 days of retention and have budgeted for the Commercial tier, the lighter products will feel like a step down.

What moving off SentinelOne Singularity involves
01
Plan for a period with two agents
Endpoint agents conflict if both run in full protection mode. Run the new product in audit or monitor mode on a pilot group first, and remove SentinelOne from each machine only after the replacement is confirmed healthy there. Agent removal on SentinelOne is controlled through its own management console, so keep the tenant until the last device has moved.
02
Retention, exclusions and policies do not carry over
Detection history stays in the SentinelOne console and ends when the licence ends. If you may need 90 days of investigation data, export what you require before cancelling. Exclusions, device-control rules and policies are written in SentinelOne's own model and must be rebuilt in the new tool, so list them before you start.
03
Check who is now responsible for response
If you used SentinelOne's autonomous remediation, decide whether the new product acts automatically or alerts a person. Products that rely on a managed service move that duty to the vendor's analysts. Settle the escalation contacts and the hours of coverage in writing before cutover.

Questions about replacing SentinelOne Singularity
6 answers
How much does SentinelOne Singularity cost?
SentinelOne publishes Singularity Complete at $179.99 per endpoint per year and Singularity Commercial at $229.99. Singularity Enterprise is sold through sales with no published price. The prices apply to 5 to 100 workstations, exclude taxes, and purchases go through authorised partners whose pricing controls.
What is the best alternative to SentinelOne?
The closest in scope is CrowdStrike Falcon, which also sells an EDR platform with a managed service. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the practical choice inside a Microsoft 365 E5 estate. For smaller teams, Sophos, Bitdefender and ThreatDown are built for small IT departments.
Is there a SentinelOne alternative from a European vendor?
Yes. Bitdefender is headquartered in Bucharest, WithSecure was founded in Helsinki and says it is privately held, and ESET describes itself as European based. Sophos is a UK company. All sell endpoint protection with an EDR option.
Which alternatives publish their prices?
CrowdStrike lists Falcon Go, Pro and Enterprise per device on its site, ThreatDown publishes bundles, and Bitdefender sells GravityZone Business Security online for 1 to 100 devices. Sophos, Trend and Symantec are quoted through partners or sales.
Can we switch without leaving machines unprotected?
Yes, if you stage it. Install the new agent in monitor mode on a pilot group, confirm it reports, then remove SentinelOne from those devices before enabling full protection.
Running two full-protection agents at once can cause conflicts, so avoid doing it fleet-wide in one go.
Do any alternatives offer a managed service?
Yes. CrowdStrike sells Falcon Complete, Sophos sells 24/7 MDR, ESET offers MDR from its own experts, ThreatDown has MDR and Kaspersky has a managed XDR edition. SentinelOne also sells Wayfinder MDR, so compare the response times in the contract, not the product page.
