Clients find Sentinel service excellent overall, but some face delays and difficulties, especially with low-priority issues.
The technical support for Logpoint is very good, and I would rate it as nine out of ten.
Logpoint's customer support is not sufficient with only one engineer in the US.

It is web-based and accommodates the expansion of our organization.
Logpoint is scalable and capable of expanding.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score

Logpoint generally maintains stability but can face issues due to hardware dependency and resource allocation, improving with newer versions.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sentinel is generally stable, with some users noting Java-related issues and region-specific outages, but high ratings overall.
I have received reports indicating glitches and downtimes with Logpoint.
 

Room For Improvement

Logpoint requires better integration, usability, performance, documentation, installation processes, cloud capabilities, support, and threat management features.
Sentinel requires improved web integration, user interface, customization, documentation, and dashboard simplicity, while addressing regional outages and cost concerns.
Dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
Logpoint needs to be cloud-native, as currently, it is not.
Price is always a consideration, so the price would be nice if it were lower.
 

Setup Cost

Logpoint offers a cost-effective subscription model with fixed pricing, though advanced consulting fees could increase overall costs.
Sentinel is a subscription-based enterprise solution with competitive pricing, offering discounts and regular updates, requiring a support contract.
I rate the pricing at eight, suggesting it's relatively good or affordable.
They nearly always bill it in dollars, so if it can be billed in our currency, that would be helpful and fixed in our currency.
 

Valuable Features

Logpoint offers cost-effective log management with advanced analytics, seamless integrations, and user-friendly SIEM and SOAR features.
Sentinel excels with its scalable, user-friendly design, integrating advanced threat detection and automated incident response, enhancing security management.
The UEBA enables us to monitor at the device level, and SOAR provides playbooks and templates that we can modify and incorporate into the platform.
It effectively facilitates logging and log storage and assists in security event management by ingesting security events.
Sentinel's best features include that it's a very easy product to use.

Featured Reviews

Abdullah Secca - PeerSpot reviewer
Valuable monitoring and integration features boost compliance
They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined. They migrated operations from Boston to Denmark, and we cannot use a tool hosted outside the country. Additionally, dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
Simon Johnston - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple antivirus solution integrates well but could improve pricing and currency options
I don't really have experience working with these solutions. I promote them for our clients, but I don't work with them. I can't share my experience with these tools as I make assumptions about that. For both Adlumin and CrowdStrike, both confirm that they're scalable and enterprise-ready and all those kinds of things. We haven't had any specific problem with either of those. We just have a preference for which one we would prefer. If somebody says they want to use a different one from the one that we prefer, then we have to find reasons why they aren't. But scalability is not one of the reasons that one is better over the other. I don't really have advice for people that are looking into using Sentinel; just do your research across what is available. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Sentinel a seven.

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for NetIQ Sentinel?

What needs improvement with NetIQ Sentinel?
I'm not sure what the room for improvement is for Sentinel. It needs to stay current, and it does, so I suppose that's fine. I don't have a high demand for what it should do. Price is always a cons...
