In my understanding Satan isn’t omnipresent like God so there is that. He does have a lot of helpers in demons who are also not omnipresent though.

OF COURSE. Satan was "Lucifer," the light bearer and one of God's angelic creations. Since angels also have free will we were taught that Lucifer defied God and thus was thrown out of heaven. I learned that Satan meant "adversary." Since he is merely a creation he isn't omnipotent; can't read minds; and will, in due course, meet his end living in hell for eternity.

Google:
Satan (Hebrew: שָּׂטָן‎‎ satan, meaning "enemy" or "adversary"; Arabic: شيطان‎‎ shaitan, meaning; "astray", "distant", or sometimes "devil") is a figure appearing in the texts of the Abrahamic religions who brings evil and temptation, and is known as the deceiver who leads humanity astray.
Some religious groups teach that he originated as an angel, or something of the like, who used to possess great piety and beauty, but fell because of hubris, seducing humanity into the ways of falsehood and sin, and has power in the fallen world.
In the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Satan is primarily an accuser and adversary, a decidedly malevolent entity, also called the devil, who possesses abhorrent qualities.
