We performed a comparison between IBM Watson for Cyber Security and Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Splunk, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM).
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly."
"The most valuable features are its threat handling and detection. It's a powerful tool because it's based on machine learning and on the behavior of malware."
"The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"Log aggregation and data connectors are the most valuable features."
"We have no complaints about the features or functionality."
"One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service."
"The most valuable features of IBM Watson for Cyber Security are ease of use and out-of-the-box reports and compliance policies. Additionally, if there are aspects that are missing IBM add them in the next release."
"The customer support is very good."
"IBM Watson for Cyber Security is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this product is innovation, where the research and upgrading of technology never ends."
"The most valuable feature of Sentinel is the dashboard."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"They're giving us the queries so we can plug them right into Sentinel. They need to have a streamlined process for updating them in the tool and knowing when things are updated and knowing when there are new detections available from Microsoft."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"They need to continue to build the AI capabilities."
"In the future, I would like to see threat intelligence included."
"This is an expensive product, so making it more cost-effective would be an improvement."
"The dashboard could improve in IBM Watson for Cyber Security."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
