It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

Advanced AI-driven monitoring has strengthened investigations and now prioritizes critical threats
I would not say there is anything that could be better in SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM; I think we have seen something unique in the product. This product has the potential to add more SOC functionality on top of its SIEM, which can automate a few more things because I have the information there. I need to do what I would call security agents or agentic AI to be built on top; it can take care of a lot more analysis and actions. Maybe licensing cost can also be looked at and reduced. We are still to see the automated feature work a little bit more; we are not really using it to the full extent.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"NetWitness Platform offers flexibility for deployment and robust integration capabilities."
"Packet Solution: Allows analyst proactive hunting and alerting on daily sophisticated APTs."
"Overall, it is easy to implement."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The detection of ransomware in the internal network has benefited my organization."
"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"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."
"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

"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"Advance monitoring and alerting feature is not stable (Event Stream Analysis)."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"It is overly complicated. It has taken years to implement and the return on investment just isn't there."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"We encountered stability issues in the earlier versions, and much fewer in the newer versions."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
"Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"The product is expensive."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"It is cheap."
