Sentinel Room for Improvement

I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard. It would be nice if Microsoft improved the workbook structure and the analytics. I had to import the Power BI and would be happy to use their transcripts.

While it is great with Microsoft, there is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms. Also, it would be helpful if we could easily switch between on-site and cloud hosting, as some customers require the platform to be physically located in their country due to regulations. Right now, this can be a bit challenging because we primarily develop in the cloud. Having more options for a mix of on-premise and cloud configurations would be a big improvement, ensuring we meet regulatory needs and customer demands more effectively.

It is an ancient product. It is not new. It is not aligned with the times. It has to be renewed. The solution is not usable. We have to do too many tasks to create a user-friendly and simple user interface to find information faster in a complex environment. We have a complex environment.

Log source integration with Sentinel needs to be improved. Sentinel should improve on covering new threats, adding use cases, and simplicity. Sentinel should come up with their own log source and work on storage issues on the log source.

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. 

As for additional features, even when I compare it to other systems, like Splunk, I think we've covered most things.

Documentation for security aspects could be improved. It is difficult to find clear information about encryption or risks that are addressed. 

The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations which is frustrating for enterprises because users need to be created manually. 

User interfaces should be aggregated to include the control center rather than it being a separate Java app.

Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar.

Frankly speaking, we did not find this product to be valuable, at all.

You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced.

When we integrated with other log management solutions, the password was not there. We also found it very difficult to create a custom password and in the end, we didn't succeed.

Trying to do something new, outside of use cases like server monitoring, was difficult and we could not do much.

The dashboard and customer view should be improved

In the next release, I would like for there to be monitoring inside the sentinel.

The Java desktop tool and the WMI integration (WECS server architecture).

The integration UI and modules deployment can improve.
In my opinion, the web interface can manage all the functionalities and configurations; no Java desktop app is necessary.

The Java app functions can be migrated to the web interface.
On the other hand, WMI integration, can be improved by removing the WECS collector. Sentinel Node can include all the functions. If an escenary needs more power, just deploy another Sentinel node (all in one) that can help in multiples use cases, not just WECS.

RAM consumition... some JRE problems.. but nothing that cannot be fixed by IT (for example file descriptor limits for Java).

I would prefer to extend dashboards part and their functions in Web GUI version, so the charts could be for configurable.

The web interface needs to be improved, as it has a java-based way to call its controls.

There is no integration in the web-side of the tool.

It is an important requirement to be able to develop collectors because the tool does not provide a portfolio of collectors for systems or devices.

Take a look at other vendors like LogRhythm. They are light years ahead of where this product is.
