DNIF HYPERCLOUD vs Sentinel comparison

"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."

"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."

"The response time on queries is super-fast."

"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."

"Has a great search capability."

"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."

"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."

"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's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."

"We can do advanced hunting queries and modify SQL queries to get desired results based on the rules triggering over the console."

"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."

"The tool is simple to use."

"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 vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."

"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."

"The EBA could be improved."

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."

"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"

"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."

"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."

"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."

"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."

"There are still a few vendor-specific devices for which Sentinel needs to work on integration, such as Netskope devices."

"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."

"It is an ancient product."

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"We receive a pricing discount because of our ongoing partnership with Micro Focus."

"Sentinel is moderately priced."

"The solution’s pricing is aligned with its competitors."

"Sentinel's slightly on the expensive side."

"Sentinel is a subscription-based solution."

"We inquired about getting support from the vendor, Micro Focus, but the cost was very high."
