They assist with advanced issues, such as hardware or other problems, that are not part of standard operations.
Network and Security Architect at Deutsche Telekom
Support needs to understand the issue first, then escalate it to the engineering team.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
The support is really good; for instance, if a critical ticket is submitted, you will get paged right away as it gets logged, and their analyst will look into it, letting you know as soon as possible so you can work on it.
Cyber Security Intern at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has AI-based technical support available.
IT Security Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Based on my experience with the technical support of SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, I would rate them a ten.
Vice President Cyber Security Practice Head at orbit techsol w pvt.ltd
In rating the technical support for SentinelOne, it depends on whether we are discussing EDR or SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM.
Managing Director at iMark Consult
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
IBM Security QRadar is praised for scalability, though challenges in larger setups and specific hardware requirements are noted.
Sentiment score
5.2
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM scales efficiently with proper configuration and management, though implementation can be challenging.
For EPS license, if you increase or exceed the EPS license, you cannot receive events.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
With any AI adoption, the end goal should be more governance and data security and safety.
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
The performance depends on the configuration.
IT Security Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

7.5
IBM Security QRadar offers robust stability and reliability, though some users report issues with patches and high-demand scenarios.
Sentiment score
7.7
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is generally praised for stability and fast log searches, though some report past issues.
On cloud, you don't see any disconnections or instability.
SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
I think QRadar is stable and currently satisfies my needs.
Architect of Cybersecurity at ASSIST - Software Services
The product has been stable so far.
Information Security Analyst at Banglalink
When it comes to stability, I would give SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM a nine.
IT Security Consultant at Systemhaus for you GmbH
In terms of performance stability, I have never had any crashes, downtimes, or performance issues.
Cyber Security Engineer at a retailer with 201-500 employees
Even the data lake feature they have, in terms of keeping all the logs intact, those log searches are extremely fast on SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, even though the data is very high.
Technical Lead at CloudBolt Software
 

Room For Improvement

IBM Security QRadar users seek improved upgrades, integrations, user interface, cost efficiency, AI features, and better threat detection.
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM struggles with stability, integrations, UI issues, high pricing, and requires improved support and automation.
We receive logs from different types of devices and need a way to correlate them effectively.
Network and Security Architect at Deutsche Telekom
If AI-related support can suggest rules and integrate with existing security devices like MD, IPS, this SIM can create more relevant rules.
Information Security Analyst at Banglalink
IBM Security QRadar does not support Canvas, so we had to create custom scripts and workarounds to pull logs from Canvas.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
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

IBM Security QRadar is costly but valuable, priced per EPS/FPS, and cheaper than Splunk yet pricier than other SIEMs.
Splunk is more expensive than IBM Security QRadar.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
It was costly mainly because of the value you can get right now compared to other solutions.
CTO at Sabyk
It depends on how much you want to spend.
Strategic Account Executive at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
I find SentinelOne's pricing to be reasonable and competitive.
Information Security Principal at a venture capital & private equity firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

IBM Security QRadar is valued for real-time alerts, scalability, integration, AI features, user-friendly interface, and threat detection.
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM enhances threat detection and response efficiency with AI-driven insights and flexible integrations.
Recently, I faced an incident, a cyber incident, and it was detected in real time.
Information Security Analyst at Banglalink
IBM Security QRadar gives the opportunity to improve the time to market of the releases with a great evaluation of cybersecurity breaches.
Strategic Account Executive at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Compared to ArcSight, Splunk, or any other SIEM tools where you need their processing language such as structured query language, SPL, and in Sentinel there is KQL query languages, IBM Security QRadar doesn't require reliance on query languages.
SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
We finally have visibility into things that were never visible before.
IT Security Consultant at Systemhaus for you GmbH
It employs a combination of AI and ML to check for viruses or any other malicious processes, including fileless attacks.
Cyber Security Engineer at a retailer with 201-500 employees
The AI-driven threat detection capabilities improve our overall security posture.

Featured Reviews

HarshBhardiya - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Have managed daily asset and alert monitoring effectively but have encountered limitations with manual processes and interface usability
It's still very manual and doesn't work on its own. It's still in an early stage and not on par where we can consider it a really successful detection system. The accuracy is not there. The UI could be better when compared to Sentinels where we can use flags and tagging. It could be much more user-friendly. IBM Security QRadar has all features and is fully competitive with other SIEM tools, but when it comes to user-friendliness, a new user takes time to get used to it. More intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and more helpful documentation would be beneficial. The query searching and data fetching could be faster. In large to very large organizations with around 5,000 or 6,000 assets or beyond, even with proper configurations and RAM and hardware backing up, the query is fairly slow.
MM
Information Security Principal at a venture capital & private equity firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Consolidated security operations have improved detection speed and reduced SOC costs
There is room for improvement when it comes to the technical support quality and expertise of SentinelOne. Sometimes, the technical support team does not know how to resolve certain issues and takes time to respond, often requiring follow-up interactions within 24 hours. SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM can be improved in terms of support capabilities. Some logs from the server side need to be ingested. Secureworks was integrating with domain controllers and other systems, but SentinelOne still has some gaps. Some vendors cannot be integrated directly. For example, we are using Cisco Umbrella for DNS security, and we have to integrate it through an Amazon S3 bucket where we dump the logs and SentinelOne reads them from that location. For some Microsoft integrations, we must enable certain storage components and pay Microsoft directly to retrieve logs. There is no direct integration, so we must access the logs through that workaround. Previously with Secureworks, we had direct integration with Microsoft. Direct integration with Microsoft is not available now. SentinelOne needs to work on many product integrations to enable direct connectivity.
