Sentinel Scalability

Scalability is not an issue because it's on the cloud and connected to the workspace and the logs. The logs could be coming from ten servers at the moment, and if we wanted ten more servers to be added, we could do that. And Sentinel doesn't care how many computers it's receiving the logs from. It is scalable.

This solution is easy to scale up until about 24,000 events per second. After that, if you require more—which is an unbelievably large amount of events happening every second—you can change portions of the system to include things like Hadoop technology, and then it will scale to whatever. So it's pretty easy to scale, up until 24,000 events per second, and after that, installing Cloudera and Hadoop and all the other stuff is a bit challenging, but I've only seen one customer reach that amount of events per second. 

It's usually large companies that go for this solution. This technology is frequently used by credit card companies, school districts, and universities. This is because there is a special price—solutions like this are usually pretty expensive and can easily run into 200,000 euros a year, but school districts get it for something like four euros per employee, with the same functionality. For them, it's a very cheap way to get an enterprise-level solution, but apart from that special price, it's usually the large companies that invest in something like this. Small- to medium-sized companies sometimes have a requirement for this because of regulations concerning credit card transactions, so we offer to host that for them and they use our shared installation.

Sentinel is a very, very scalable solution. People are now migrating towards Sentinel. Around seven to eight of our customers are using Sentinel.

Since Sentinel is under Microsoft's management, they are responsible for scaling the solution. Sentinel is very scalable. It will automatically scale up, and it will automatically scale down when there is no requirement.

This product did not scale for us. I'm not saying that it was a problem with the product but we had trouble finding the skills and knowledge required for this tool. As our environment started growing, we had to buy new tools.

We have not had scalability issues. Storage retention policies and schema, online and offline, are very nice.
If Sentinel is integrated with Identity Manager and User Application Portal, the solution runs simply perfect!

It is not easy to scale the tool. In the live version, you have the usability tool that is the scaling version of Sentinel, but we do not use it. We have about one hundred people using this solution who feed events into Sentinel to look for anomalies in the database audits.
