Senior Security Engineer at a university with 10,001+ employees
The second thing is that data aggregation, sampling, and reduction that we're able to do of the data, lowering our overall data volume, both traversing the network as well as what's being stored inside of our final solutions.
Director, Performance Engineering at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
In terms of reduction, we were able to save almost ~40% of our total cost.

6.1
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is scalable and effective for complex, hybrid environments, requiring skilled implementation and detailed planning.
The infrastructure behind Cribl Search is also scalable as it uses a CPU and just spawns horizontally more instances as it demands and requires.
Engineering Fellow at Pegasystems
Compared to other SIEM tools I use, any slight change on the operating system end impacts a lot on our SIEM tools and other things, but Cribl performs well in that regard.
Senior Software Engineer at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
Cribl performs effectively across both market segments.
Principal at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
It is designed to handle growing log volumes and supports environments that include on-premises infrastructure, cloud services, endpoints, identity platforms, and network devices.
Desktop Support Engineer at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
With any AI adoption, the end goal should be more governance and data security and safety.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Cribl is praised for reliability and scalability, though some users face occasional performance issues and downtimes.
Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is praised for stability and AI, but some find it inefficient and less user-friendly.
Migrating from those SC4S servers to Cribl worker nodes has truly been a game-changer.
Sr. Lead Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Regarding scalability, we started with zero servers and have around 285 servers now.
Senior Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cribl is designed to deal with certain kinds of loads and is not designed to handle any scenario in the market.
Security Delivery Senior Analyst at Accenture
I have worked with it, and it is very handy, easy to manage, and excellent with its AI-driven capabilities.

Room For Improvement

Cribl needs improved performance, better Git integration, and enhanced usability to address user experience and scalability concerns.
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM requires improvements in performance, customization, integrations, automation, pricing, and clearer AI insights.
A more stringent role-based access control feature would enhance security and allow granular control over what users can see and access.
Manager for Monitoring and Logging at Velera
When passing query logs or DNS logs, if certain malicious query patterns need to be identified or if fast-flux attacks are happening, Cribl can report that and those would definitely be a plus for them.
Product Manager at UnDisclosed
I would advise others looking to implement Cribl that if they are evolving Cribl Search, it would be very interesting to see more capability, more flexibility, and more ways to share the data similar to Splunk.
Senior Manager at Deloitte
The adoption rate will be less compared to other products, as this can be a time-taken process because all my data needs to be offloaded and the system needs to understand my existing alerts, logs, and other things.
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
The interface flickers frequently, and sometimes it does not load properly.
IT Security Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Whenever OT security comes into the picture, the customers do not allow us to integrate their OT devices on a cloud. It should be available on-premises because the OT SIEM market, in the India market for instance, is something around a four to eight billion dollar market.
Vice President Cyber Security Practice Head at orbit techsol w pvt.ltd
 

Setup Cost

Cribl offers cost-effective pricing and efficient large data handling, attracting enterprises despite slightly higher costs than competitors.

Valuable Features

Cribl offers intuitive UI, real-time data transformation, seamless integration, cost savings, flexible processing, and versatile deployment for efficient data management.
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM enhances security with automation, AI analytics, third-party integration, and improved SOC efficiency.
The data reduction and preprocessing capabilities make Cribl really unique.
Security Consultant at Integrity360
Cribl has a feature called JSON Unroll or Unroll function that allows you to differentiate the events; each event will come ingested as a single log instead of piling it up with multiple events.
Security Engineer at Tecplix
The Cribl UI is very simple and easy to use, particularly when working with data from various sources; it makes it very easy to create pipelines, add complex logic to those pipelines, and then gives you a preview of what your data looks like before applying that pipeline and what you get after.
Senior Security Engineer at a university with 10,001+ employees
We finally have visibility into things that were never visible before.

Featured Reviews

JigarHirani - PeerSpot reviewer
Splunk Engineer at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees
Log pipelines have reduced daily data volume and now simplify traffic analysis
Overall, the pipelines and all the features are good with Cribl. The UI is good. Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes. The pipeline is structured in a certain way, then the data will be routed to there, and something of that nature. I was very much confused about their whole products, such as Data Lake and pipelines. It's possible that at that time I didn't take any university courses, which is why I did not know much. But if they can give an intro on how we can connect nodes, or they can provide simple use cases showing what you can do with Cribl, it would help. If you just need to add the source and the destination and pre-build some proper workflow, then it will be easy for new customers to navigate through Cribl.
Dev Reshwal - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Support Executive at Softcell Technologies Limited
Automation has reduced workload and real-time monitoring provides faster incident response
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is the best, but sometimes the dashboards are a little simple compared to other tools. The custom dashboard is not available in their features. Therefore, I would suggest adding the custom dashboard for any of our requirements. The AI-driven analytics from SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has not affected our ability to reduce false positives. SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has affected my SOC's efficiency in investigating alerts and responding to incidents. If we receive any alerts, we can observe what activity is being done. We can see if it is malicious or something suspicious, or a true positive. We can analyze the path, the hash, and whether the signature is verified or not. We can see if it is an alert triggered by any engine. We can see the source of this. We will do that type of analysis and raise it to the client side. Also, if I identify anything suspicious or malicious in the alert, I will forcefully kill and quarantine it immediately.
