Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability is good."
"The playbook engine is flexible and allows for the graphical visualization of processes, enabling the implementation of dynamic playbooks for incident response or testing."
"It does good correlation for events. It does good general analysis, and it has good apps as well."
"The most valuable features are all the implementations, the plug-ins, and the User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"I have found its network traffic log, network bit log, and QBI most valuable."
"The most valuable features would have to be the products' ability to customize vulnerability management settings."
"I have used IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics in a Cloud Pak on Amazon, and there it runs on top of it and is easy to assess. Additionally, I have installed processes and characters."
"Flexible and valuable product that is modular, so you can easily set up a roadmap for your clients."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"The solution is highly used here in Pakistan and in many sectors, they could improve it by having more SIEM connectors."
"The architecture could be improved. I got stuck for a long time trying to understand the architecture, as it is quite challenging."
"I think that the search speed of this solution could be improved."
"The threat detection needs improvement, they have many false positives."
"The usability of interfaces could be improved."
"The technical support can be improved a little bit, and the price could be cheaper."
"Do your research before implementing it, because it is tough to implement."
"Needs better visualization options beyond the time series charts and a few other options that they have."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"It is an ancient product."
"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
