Knowledgeable support, reliable, and useful compliance policies
IBM Watson for Cyber Security can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud and it is used as a SIEM solution 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…

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.

Pros

"IBM Watson for Cyber Security is very stable."
"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."
"From what I have seen so far, this is an excellent product."
"The customer support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this product is innovation, where the research and upgrading of technology never ends."
"When they face attacks such as ransomware and are dissatisfied with their existing solutions, they switch to SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, which is quite good in detecting unknown threats, cleaning the system, and handling ransomware."
"I assess the overall security posture of our organization after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly improved."
"With the help of this tool, the response time to sophisticated threats has improved significantly, and it recently cuts the MTTR time using Purple AI by 40%."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has impacted my organization positively because I am observing some improvement, including real-time monitoring and real-time threat detection that help secure both our and the client's organization from anything suspicious or any malicious types of alerts."
"I will strongly recommend this, because after SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM we have reduced our engineering time to a certain degree as it has helped us to do investigations fast, we get actual alerts that matter and can prioritize them properly, and the monitoring capability is now completely in one single platform so we do not have to go here and there, which has given us good ROI in total."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has positively impacted my organization by improving visibility, reducing investigation time, and helping the security team respond to incidents faster."
"The best features of SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM include its user-friendly interface, ease of deployment, and ease of use, and it is also easy to control the devices, as we block USB on all machines, export the configuration of machines, and have very good visibility of the instance with excellent reports."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM's AI-powered analytics does affect our SOC's ability to reduce false positives; that is one of the biggest advantages because the manpower that I have is limited."
 

Cons

"This is an expensive product, so making it more cost-effective would be an improvement."
"They need to continue to build the AI capabilities."
"In the future, I would like to see threat intelligence included."
"The dashboard could improve in IBM Watson for Cyber Security."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
"Unfortunately, I was not happy with SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM because it is not mature yet."
"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."
"In AI SIEM, the areas that have room for improvement are the parsers for third-party integrated data or for third-party data sources that are not native integrations, which could be made a bit easier."
"What I dislike is that the dashboard is very old, so they do not have much capability to be honest."
"The AI-generated investigations can occasionally require manual validation for complex incidents."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM can improve in the area of XDR, especially in the integration between SentinelOne and other solutions and components in the network, as it was not working well with the Fortinet firewall."
"At the moment, I feel the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but the tool is positioned in a place where risk is very high, and we do not want to take chances, so we are prepared to pay the premium."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM Watson for Cyber Security is very simple to license and is priced well."
"The price of this solution should be lower, although I understand why IBM charges a premium price."
