Log analysis has become faster and more accurate, enabling precise threat detection
Regarding areas for improvement in Singularity Platform, I would say the data security posture and control over sensitive information could be enhanced. If the control were more robust, then it would be better. For instance, when I analyze a log using Singularity Platform, the logs I see are clear, but if they were more descriptive, it would be much better. For example, when I find a log suspicious, if it automatically points out that a particular point in the log at a specific timing or frame is looking malicious, it would be easier for me. I would not have to go through many logs to find this information.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"During the time of attacks, if there is any data loss, we were able to easily roll back those attacks and retrieve that data for the client with a single click."
"The best features I and my clients like the most about Singularity Platform are that, first of all, it's easy to handle, it doesn't take a lot of time to get into, there's no real obscurity, it takes a load of work from the team, and in most cases, you can literally just configure it once and leave it running until something comes up, and it will just work."
"I have tried some paid tools, but I have found that Singularity Platform is far better than others, and as a log analyst and SOC analyst, I find it better than others."
"Singularity Platform's best features are its scheduled reports and its automated end-of-day business capabilities, which allow any activities that occur projected or expected to come in overnight without manual intervention."
"Singularity Platform allows us to have one single view of potential threats and the health of our environment, helping us optimize operational efficiency."
"Singularity Platform's functionality for ransomware rollback is quite useful because if you have a ransomware attack, most EDR solutions do not have the feature to do a rollback and bring the system to its earlier state, but that is one of the unique features that Singularity Platform has which can be a game changer for customers."
"Singularity Platform's real-time personalization feature has helped our customer experience strategies by allowing us to have different workspaces where we have custom views, and depending on the use case because we have many products that use Singularity Platform, they interact with the UI in different ways, producing different elements and giving us tailored views for different products."
"I believe Singularity Platform is perfectly fine overall."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"The risk-based alerting is excellent."
"Its search is very flexible, allowing you to search anything by typing a sentence."
"Splunk has significantly reduced the time in performing the task of aggregating logs, reviewing as well as time spent during investigations."
"We have created a few custom use cases for Splunk that have helped us detect threats faster. For example, we set up endpoint-related data models and specialized setups for various scenarios. It's more efficient than some other products I've used."
"Search language is easy to understand and teach to new users."
"The best feature I've seen is the ability to easily change the query based on the dashboard or based on the chart we have to create, allowing any value or metric we want to add to that particular chart while keeping the rest of the dashboard settings intact."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
 

Cons

"Technical support from SentinelOne is somewhat dependent on the engineer you are assigned. Some TAC cases are solved in a good time, but some cases faced challenges because the engineer was not competent or was not able to understand the issue or take it to its logical conclusion."
"From an operational perspective, the customizable dashboards are easy to use, but I face concerns with the alerts from the email ticketing system."
"The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors."
"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."
"Regarding areas for improvement in Singularity Platform, I would say the data security posture and control over sensitive information could be enhanced."
"In my opinion, the real-time monitoring capabilities in Singularity Platform sometimes work and sometimes they don't, because there are a lot of false positives and people use unsigned applications which get deleted or quarantined by the product."
"I believe that CAM and Clearwater are superior to Singularity Platform."
"Sometimes, these customized solutions our developers develop also get flagged in real time, and the processes get stopped and are blocked, and we have to whitelist the processes."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"Regarding customer service and technical support, their support is the worst I have ever run into in any industry."
"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues."
"The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."
"The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not exactly user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."
"The subscription is monthly."
"The solution is costly."
"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."
