Director, Infrastructure & Security at Dreamscape Companies
If I engage five engineers for this project and implement SentinelOne, then only one resource is needed to manage the dashboard and criticality alerts.
Business Head at Ivalue Infosolution
Since then, I have not faced any intrusions, which is one reason I chose SentinelOne over ESET.
Computer Technician at VILLE DE POINTE-CLAIRE
The documentation for Splunk Enterprise Security is outstanding. It is well-organized and easy to access.

We couldn't calculate what would have been the cost if they had actually gotten compromised; however, they were in the process, so every investment was returned immediately.

7.3

Sentiment score
6.2

If we get stuck at midnight, any other TAC team will be in GMT or Europe or America, and they will assign our support engineer and suddenly schedule a call for us and resolve the issue.
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.
Computer Technician at VILLE DE POINTE-CLAIRE
A chat service would be beneficial.
Information Security Principal at a venture capital & private equity firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
We have paid for Splunk support, and we’re not on the free tier hoping for assistance; we are a significant customer and invest a lot in this service.

Network Security Engineer at Arrow PC Network Pvt Ltd
It's all auto-scale and auto-categorized, configuring automatically.
AGM IT Security at Page Industries Ltd
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very scalable.
DGM. Technical Security at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
We currently rely on disaster recovery and backup recovery, which takes time to recover, during which you're basically blind, so I'm pushing my leadership team to switch over to a clustering environment for constant availability.
IT Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
It is one of the things that separates it from other tooling, and if not, it is the most scalable solution out there.
Systems Development Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
They struggle a bit with pure virtual environments, but in terms of how much they can handle, it is pretty good.
CTO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

If I have to rate the stability level of Singularity Platform from one to ten, I would say it would be a strong nine.
Information Security Officer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
The automation helps a lot, and once implemented, we face no further issues regarding stability or scalability; everything works absolutely fine.
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
Even if the agent disconnects from our console, it will still protect the desktop or laptop.
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
They test it very thoroughly before release, and our customers have Splunk running for months without issues.

Splunk has been very reliable and very consistent.
Principal Engineer at Aviatrix
We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues.

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs UI and reporting improvements, better integrations, Linux support, and enhanced customer support.
Splunk Enterprise Security requires enhancements in visualizations, ease of use, AI integration, and improved documentation and training.
The only thing that prevented the attack from succeeding was a free version of Malwarebytes.
Director, Information Technology at Premier Realty Group
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.
Cyber Security Mentor and trainee at DataSpace Academy
SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution.
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
Improving the infrastructure behind Splunk Enterprise Security is vital—enhanced cores, CPUs, and memory should be prioritized to support better processing power.
Resident Consultant (Security Analyst) at helpag
Splunk Enterprise Security is not something that automatically picks things; you have to set up use cases, update data models, and link the right use cases to the right data models for those detections to happen.
Security & Risk Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
For any future enhancements or features, such as MLTK and SOAR platform integration, we need more visibility, training, and certification for the skilled professionals who are working.
Security Consultant at Matiq
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne offers competitive pricing, typically 12% cheaper than CrowdStrike, but can be costly for SMBs despite its robust features.
Splunk Enterprise Security is costly but valued for its extensive functionality, appealing mainly to larger enterprises with flexible licensing.
If you want protection, you have to pay the price.
Information Security Principal at a venture capital & private equity firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution.
President at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Reputation and quality are important, but especially in today’s economy, price is a significant factor.
Security and Compliance at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I saw clients spend two million dollars a year just feeding data into the Splunk solution.
CTO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The platform requires significant financial investment and resources, making it expensive despite its comprehensive features.
System Engineer - Security Presales at Raya Integration
I find it to be affordable, which is why every industry uses it.
Vice President Research And Development at OSINT Ambition

Featured Reviews

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response
Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.
Sathis-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Bank of America
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.
