SentinelOne reported total a total revenue increase of 28% for its fiscal Q3 2024 year over year and an annualized recurring revenue increase of 29% year over year. The company reported break even earnings on an adjusted basis. SentinelOne raised its fiscal 2025 forecast to $818 million.

The provider of EDR, MDR, XDR and identity detection and response told analysts and investors during its earnings call this week that it has been working to continue its MSP ecosystem expansion with continued investment in enablement, particularly in CNAP, its Purple AI solution, and data lake technologies for MSPs.

While it has achieved greater penetration in the enterprise market, executives said that it is maintaining momentum in SMB and mid-market segments, supported by its MSP partners.

Ric Smith, SentinelOne president of product, technology and operations, recently told MSSP Alert that the company has created integrations in the MSP ecosystem through partnerships with major players such as Pax8 and ConnectWise.
