The short version

  • Each has a real cost: SentinelOne Singularity deployment and configuration requires professional services ($5,000 to $25,000); Fortinet FortiGate security services are sold as separate FortiGuard subscription bundles, so ATP, UTP and ENT determine which protections are actually active
  • They diverge on capability: SentinelOne Singularity covers Behavioral AI, Fortinet FortiGate covers Next-generation firewall.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

SentinelOne Singularity

  • Deployment and configuration requires professional services ($5,000 to $25,000)
  • Optional modules like Ranger and Vigilance add to total cost of ownership
  • Complex pricing tiers make budgeting difficult for large deployments

Fortinet FortiGate

  • Security services are sold as separate FortiGuard subscription bundles, so ATP, UTP and ENT determine which protections are actually active
  • Throughput is tied to the appliance model, from 500 Mbps on the FortiGate 30G to 520 Gbps on the 7121F, so capacity planning is a hardware purchase
  • Pricing is not published and goes through partners
