SentinelOne MDR 2026: Features, Pricing, Strengths

If you're evaluating the cybersecurity company SentinelOne on its MDR service in 2026, here's the short version: SentinelOne pairs AI-driven endpoint detection and response (EDR) with an optional 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR) tier called Vigilance Respond. The underlying Singularity platform is strong, with automated Ransomware Rollback® and independently tested detection, but pricing is quote-based, MDR is billed as a separate layer on top of the EDR license, and the platform carries more depth than many accounting, healthcare, or small business offices need.

This guide covers what's actually included, how SentinelOne prices it, and where it fits, and doesn't fit, for a practice your size.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is software that watches laptops, servers, and other devices for suspicious activity and can automatically contain or roll back an attack. SentinelOne sells this through its Singularity platform: a single lightweight agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux that uses AI models to spot malicious behavior instead of relying only on known malware signatures.

Managed detection and response (MDR) is a service where analysts outside your organization watch security alerts around the clock, investigate them, and either respond directly or tell you what to do. SentinelOne's MDR service is Vigilance Respond, and a more hands-on tier, Vigilance Respond Pro, adds deeper analyst engagement. Neither tier replaces the Singularity EDR/XDR license; MDR is layered on top of it, not sold standalone.

This distinction matters because many buyers shopping for "MDR" assume they're buying one product. With SentinelOne, you're generally evaluating two purchases at once: the EDR/XDR platform and the MDR monitoring service that watches it. If you're still deciding whether you need MDR at all versus a self-managed EDR tool, our guide to endpoint detection and response for small business covers that tradeoff.

SentinelOne doesn't publish per-endpoint pricing. Like most enterprise-grade EDR/XDR vendors, it sells an annual, per-endpoint subscription rather than a flat monthly seat price, and you'll need to request a quote directly from SentinelOne or through an authorized reseller or managed security services provider (MSSP).

Because none of this is published, the only reliable way to know what SentinelOne will cost your practice is to request an itemized quote that separates the EDR platform cost from the MDR cost, then compare that all-in annual number against alternatives. For more on how these contracts are typically structured, see our look at EDR and identity protection pricing bundles.

If a predictable flat monthly bill matters more to your practice than platform depth, it's also worth reviewing how CrowdStrike Falcon Go prices its small business tier before you commit to a quote-based enterprise vendor.

SentinelOne describes its MDR service in two tiers layered on top of the base Singularity platform. The comparison below reflects the company's public service descriptions as of 2026; confirm current tier details with your sales rep, since vendor packaging changes over time.

SentinelOne's MDR tiers tend to work best for organizations running roughly 25 to a few hundred endpoints that already have some internal IT support and want automated containment plus 24/7 monitoring rather than building an in-house security operations center. Accounting and tax practices subject to the FTC Safeguards Rule or healthcare offices subject to the HIPAA Security Rule often gravitate toward this kind of platform because automated response and documented monitoring can support the risk-assessment and incident-response elements those rules expect. Whether a specific product satisfies a specific regulatory requirement is a question for your counsel or compliance advisor, not a vendor's marketing page.

It's a weaker fit for solo practitioners or micro offices with a handful of endpoints and no IT staff to interpret console output or field vendor calls. In that situation, the two-part EDR-plus-MDR purchase can add complexity without proportional benefit. Our risk assessment guidance can help you gauge whether your practice's size and exposure call for platform depth like SentinelOne's or a simpler bundled service.

SentinelOne participates in the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, an independent testing program that measures how EDR products detect and report simulated adversary techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Reviewing a vendor's results in that program, rather than relying only on marketing claims, gives you a third-party reference point for how a product performs against known attack techniques before you sign a contract.

According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), an annual analysis of confirmed data breaches compiled from contributing organizations worldwide, ransomware or extortion was involved in roughly one-third of the breaches analyzed in its 2024 edition. That statistic is why automated containment features like rollback appeal to buyers. Even so, no product, including SentinelOne's rollback feature, can guarantee ransomware will never succeed on your network; it reduces impact and recovery time, not risk to zero.
