Teams choose DataSet to elastically scale to petabytes of data while delivering real-time performance at a fraction of the cost. ## DataSet (by SentinelOne) Reviews ### 1. Fast and not too expensive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2020 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** We use Scalyr for our logging and error alerting. It is very fast to ingest and query data, it's UI is easy enough to use and its cost is much better than most others. Integrating Scalyr with both the server and client was reasonably straightforward. Most competitors have delays in ingestion, slower queries and/or much higher prices. We are very happy with it so far. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Would love to have longer storage duration by default, but not complaining too much since compared to the competition it is really good. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Central location for logs and errors including search, alerting and dashboard, including metrics. Don't have to look in many different places, it's our one stop shop to get answers about our system. ### 2. Great log product, gives us insight quickly **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Levi S. | Software Engineer, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** When the search range is small (4 hours), Scalyr is pretty fast on any query I throw at it. It is also useful for 24 hour graphs that go on our dashboards. I often have my local environment go into Scalyr to observe (with finer logging granularity) what is going on during development. I can also easily compare with production's logs for example inputs and expected (but sometimes truncated) outputs. Most of our logs are discrete log events submitted through the scalyr API, not by parsing STDOUT. But we have STDOUT based logs from containerized projects and for AWS integrations. We use scalyr's lambda to import logs dumped into an S3 bucket from cloudfront for certain resources. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The dashboards could use some more attention for always on status-wall use. It would be nice if individual logs could be linked to by a unique "error ID" so to say, right now we have a search query link that has to search the whole 30 day range and sometimes times out. We've tried to do search-integrations for admin pages by using the scalyr's java API, but if any part of the query is bad, we get a useless "server returned 400" type of exception. Internally their web API is giving a useful response, but stepping into their library is not a good use of my time. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Good for making dashboards from nearly any sort of data scalyr ingests. Invest time into labeling on each message what environment (sandbox or production) and product each log pertains to. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can track down what happens on each request, investigate abusive behavior patterns from bot nets, and derive meaningful graphs to show what's happening to our business. We often perform ad hoc queries during escalations. Most of the time we can determine what happened within minutes of the escalation and take action. ### 3. Requires a little bit of technical expertise, but offers deep control of log integration **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Trevor R. | Senior DevOps Engineer, Consumer Goods, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Scalyr offers support for a variety of protocols and data sources to be aggregated together quite easily. The agent is quick and offers solid performance even under a lot of load. It also has a lot of plugins and can even accept custom-developed plugins. The UI allows for the flexibility of searching on whatever fields are being input, which is convenient for mixed streams. The service handles a large amount of data very well and is very configurable on parsing, with a syntax that makes sense and is easy to use. It even has a built-in parsing tester that is extremely convenient. Everything in the UI also feels very snappy and quick compared to other services, even when generating massive graphs. When there's issues with the service, they are well communicated and usually brief. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Scalyr definitely feels like a new product, with rough edges and some limitations that I hope are going to be worked around soon. Graph creation is difficult and a little limited, the syntax is strange. Alarms are similarly a little awkward to put together at first. I've had trouble with the Docker integration when used with Swarm. It doesn't seem to work unless I tie it together manually using Syslog. A few areas have a little bit of a confusing GUI flow, between JSON files and normal UI. The aggregation of fields and their "most common occurrences" can be sometimes frustrating when I want to search for entries that have occurred very few times, but this can usually be worked around. Support has sometimes been slow to respond or keep up on support requests. Graphs are sometimes "spiky", due to a mismatch between log pickup periods and log display periods. If you see this, set your graphs to a bar with a 5-minute period or more. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Make sure that whoever you have administrating Scalyr is familiar with system administration and is comfortable working with JSON config files and regular expressions. I recommend something like Terraform to manage the configurations for CloudFront, S3 buckets, and the ensuing SQS queues that Scalyr uses to pick up logs. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're pushing all of the logs for every load balancer, S3 bucket, and CloudFront in our whole AWS cloud into Scalyr, without having to configure any awkward Lambdas or ElasticSearch clusters. We also have pushed all of our application logs into it using the agent's Syslog protocol, which has made our error searching much easier. ### 4. Great Log Aggregator **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arshi S. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** I like that I can aggregate logs from multiple servers in one place. Setting up the Scalyr agent is really easy on your servers with minimal configurations. Scalyr is inexpensive compared to similar services on the market. I do like that the Scalyr team is continually striving to improve their product and have set up a few meetings with our engineers to investigate how we use Scalyr. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Not enough filtering options on log types from specific log servers. When we switch to "original log" view, the original query gets lost. The search queries aren't that intuitive and chaining queries is not an option. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Scalyr is definitely a great service that could help your business. During discovery, we evaluated multiple options like Logly, as well as AWS Cloudwatch, but ease of integration and cost were really important factors for our business group and Scalyr met most of our requirements. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** In my industry, we see intermittent support issues on our application and Scalyr is the first point of discovery for issues. We only store data in Scalyr for 3 days, but for most of our scenarios, this is sufficient. However, when we do need logs prior to 3 days, we do have to manually log into our servers and investigate furthur. Prior to utilizing Scalyr, we would have to manually log into servers to debug any issues. We also used AppDynamics to investigate server health but we couldn't analyze the application logs themselves. This has solved this problem with Scalyr. ### 5. Great server-side logging solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ilya V. | Senior Software Engineer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2019 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** - Intuitive interface - Fast searching - Good filtering ability via queries **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** - No API for client-side logging (like JS logs) - Screen updates after applying filters don't work well in Safari **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have migrated to Scalyr from a home-grown solution, which used raw SQL queries and had bare-bones UI. Scalyr is very user-friendly, and has graphs, which led to a wide-spread adoption in the tech department. ### 6. Software Engineer **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Florian L. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Fastness of the UI and the filtering experience, easy to filter and visualize the results (logs) by host. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Tool outside of our organization that we can't (or won't for security purposes) plug to some of our internal services. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allowed us to see and filter on real time application logs. It helped understand bugs, ddos attacks, monitor our operations system and verify that the communication between our services is correct. We don't use it for complicated subjects, just to put all the logs in one place and easily cross check data across servers and it gets the job done very well. ### 7. Scalyr is a very powerful tool for production grade server integration **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** It aggregates all the logs from different server instances and provides a combined view for those logs. It provides a cloud solution for storage and simple but powerful query for investigating logs straightforward diagrams and world-class alert system. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Um... this is a hard one for me, so far I feel great for it. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** N/A **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before having scalyr onboard, when we investigate production server logs, we will need to download all logs file for a certain day range, it takes a lot local storage and processing time is slow. Scalyr increase the productivity for different situations. ### 8. Great Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elizabeth T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Simple set up allowed for quick evaluation and testing of the product. Implementation on production systems was just as quick and easy as the POC. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Nothing really to dislike, but more integrations would be nice. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** One business problem in particular we solved is allowing a 3rd party vendor to assist our team with tier 1 support, without needing access to log in to our production instances. One of our apps had AWS health checks (and other alerting), but the AWS checks alone could not provide the right details for the support team to determine what the real issue was. After adding the Scalyr agent and setting it up for NGINX logging, they can now see all relevant logs without access to the instances. Additionally, we are using Scalyr on our ephemeral hadoop, presto, and spark clusters. The scalyr agent is perfect for these clusters that are constantly spinning up and down and autoscaling up to 30+ nodes depending on their workload. We never know how many nodes might be up at one time. Apparently, other vendors charge for agents per instance, which would get really expensive for our use case. I believe this was one of the main reasons my team requested Scalyr. ### 9. Log management done right! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The web interface is the clear front-runner, you can easily select a period in time and view all logs (or only certain hosts) that fit that time period. The amount of customizability is amazing and you can even set complex alerts. We have an alert set to where if a certain error is logged x amount of times in 5 minutes, to send an email alert. The agent is easy to install and you can really put ANY log you want into Scalyr, the server monitoring is also useful, although not as nice as New Relic's infrastructure service, but hey it's basically free given that the log management is the real product. This product essentially fills the gap New Relic leaves, New Relic's APM is second to none, but you can't browse logs like you can with Scalyr. Until New Relic offers up a log management/searching feature you really can't beat Scalyr. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** It's a bit pricey, but understandably so given the niche market they have. For $105/month you get up to 3GB of logs everyday with 3 day retention. Longer retention jumps the price up, so this is really a solution for real-time or near present analyzing. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** If you can afford it, go for it! **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allowing our developers to view logs easily across multiple systems without having to have them login to the server directly. Not only that, but being able to search and filter with wildcards makes it a fantastic tool. ### 10. Extremely fast log management service **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Simon D. | Chief Technology Officer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Scalyr is a super-fast, affordable and easy to use log management system. The most critical thing for me is that it's really easy to send logs, categorise, label and filter them, and the resulting search is incredibly fast. You can define patterns that match your logs as they are ingested and Scalyr extracts fields form them and allows you a powerful search interface onto them, as well as providing graphing and analytics. It's really easy to answer questions such as "how many of our requests to the users controller hit the memory cache" just by writing a search that includes those fields and drawing a graph, and you get the results back instantly. The product is also very affordable compared to some other offerings. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The graphing tools can be a little bit clunky and they are occasionally a bit more rudimentary than I'd like. It's more suited to search and analysis rather than a live dashboard. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since scaling our product to multiple application servers and containers we've managed to use Scalyr as a central place to determine how well the stack is performing, as well as for getting usage analytics and drilling down into problem reports. Scalyr lets us perform all of these tasks quickly and with a minimum of fuss. ### 11. Monitoring without security compromise **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** I'm able to allow members of my team to monitor processes, pipelines, and workflows without giving them access to specific servers. Okta integration is great. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Grouping redundant or repetitive tasks would be helpful when utilizing the search feature. It can be difficult to sift through thousands of messages that don't contain new information. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows teams to monitor job progress/bugs so they have a first place to look when data isn't available. ### 12. Fast, easy, awesome! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan D. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Scalyr agent is pretty feature-rich, performs well, and is open source. Also, really enjoy the log4j/logback appenders to facilitate getting logs to Scalyr. I also like the parsing functionality. Can do some really robust things. Oh, the support from Scalyr and openness to listen to suggestions is unmatched by any other service we tried. Also, the alerts are vert interesting. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Metrics are lacking compared to other solutions. UI isn't the best and could use some love. Alerts, especially to Slack, are complicated to create. Long lines of text(json) which is eventually parsed into a query to Slack is challenging in the current UI. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Definitely try it out. Easy to get started sending logs from lots of sources! **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Solving log aggregation to allow better troubleshooting when a problem occurs and, because of the alerts, be able to prevent problems. ### 13. It just works! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Being able to get feedback from Scalyr's support team in a fast manner was very helpful. I also like the UI for visualizing how many log events that we get. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The way that alerts are managed (a gigantic JSON file) rather than a more intuitive UI is problematic. This design needs to be more thought out for the future - once a team has many alerts it starts to get out of hand. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking down errors to their root causes in a timely manner without having to SSH into the instances themselves is a lifesaver. ### 14. Best of what I've used. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** From a deployment perspective, it seems to play nice with sane practices (it listens to STDOUT, parses parameters, and surfaces the logs somewhere you can find them). Being able to configure which fields it shows, filtering on those fields, and easily scrolling through different time windows. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The query language is somewhat opaque, and the UI could make it easier to build up valid searches. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Emit your logs in JSON! **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Monitoring data processing pipelines to troubleshoot warnings and failures. Just in general, it's valuable to have all of our logs in one place. ### 15. Fast and highly flexible log management & monitoring **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elena T. | Backend Engineering Manager, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Graphs and alerting. Graphs let us quickly see if our infrastructure is behaving normally and we've set up a lot of alerting to have peace of mind that our system if functioning fine. Having used Splunk before, I like Scalyr infinitely better. I can ask Scalyr to graph $queryTime>X and it will do so in a second; Splunk would tell me to wait 30 minute, time out, and output nothing. Scalyr lets you slice and dice you logs to answer the exactly question you want. It's insane they allow regular expressions and using regular expressions doesn't negatively impact performance! **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Understandably in order to graph large amounts of data, Scalyr relies on sampling. For the most part this isn't a problem, but there are times the sampling can hide the spikes you were looking for. I often find myself zooming in to portions of the graph to validate the zoomed out numbers. Alerting is powerful and does what we want, but it is on the user to keep it organized. The way you modify alerts is via json so it takes some diligence on behalf of the user to keep it clean. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Monitoring and debugging. Scalyr alerts us on 90% of our site issues and helps us debug 99% of issues. The flexibility of the platform lets us push in all sorts of logs in one place which means it's the one place you need to look to get to the bottom of an issue. ### 16. Essential tool, highly recommend **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** We use Scalyr to power almost all of our analysis, monitoring, and forensics in engineering. The only three tools my team absolutely cannot live without are AWS, Slack and Scalyr. At this point I think a centralized log management tool is an absolute must-have for running in the cloud, and Scalyr is a great solution because it is inexpensive, easy to set up and low-maintenance compared to Kibana or open-source tools. Deploying the agents to our servers was simple and I particularly like that that Scalyr also tracks system data (CPU, Memory, etc.) and statsd information so we don't need a second tool like m/monit or DataDog. It has been easy to get all of the engineers to adopt Scalyr and build dashboards and alerts for Slack and PagerDuty. It's been absolutely reliable in the last 3 years and it costs a fraction of what Splunk or SumoLogic charge. Support has always been immediate and helpful in the cases where we hit a bug. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** By comparison to Splunk, it has less ability to perform complex graphical analysis and chained queries. This has not been a big issue for us, but there are times it would be nice to do deeper facet-analysis to get the right answers. The UI is also less intuitive than Splunk, though it has improved greatly in the last 1.5 years and is pretty solid now. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1) Centralized log management (e.g. trace problems across a dynamic set of servers in AWS) 2) Centralized alerting, based off CPU, security logs, application logs, and third-party tools (e.g. host-based intrusion detection and anti-virus) 3) Timeseries dashboards for key metrics like system load, queue size 4) Forensic analysis either to triage an incident or for post-incident analysis ### 17. Scalyr makes you a log ninja **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aaron D. | Chief Data Scientist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Scalyr takes manual grepping and retrieving of logs from something you dread to something you look forward to because you can now find and eliminate issues slowing down your new feature development. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Scalyr doesn't use the most efficient methods to transmit logs across the wire (binary wire protocols such as protobuffs for example). This would dramatically reduce the bandwith necessary to upload to Scalyr and therefore I could increase the amount of logging. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Scalyr to reduce the time it takes to debug issues in our deployed services. We've seen a huge drop in the amount of time where some logs weren't even retrievable and now it's easy just to push to Scalyr. ### 18. Blazing fast log searching **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** It's really, really fast. I can search millions of entries over multiple days in a matter of seconds. The configuration system is very flexible and we can push notifications of events to other services really easily. Being able to use a command line tool to dump out the log values is also really useful. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The configuration it's as straight forward as other systems I've used. Learning their configuration syntax is a bit complicated, and setting up almost everything requires custom scripts to be written. It could be a lot more simple. Also, pushing information into Slack doesn't give you very much detail, so you have to follow the link to see what triggered the alert. **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Try it out. Push as much data as you can into the system so that you get a chance to really explore it and enjoy the speed. Take the time to learn the custom configuration syntax and don't hesitate to reach out to support if you need help; they are responsive. Use some of the sample configurations to get started. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can diagnose a customer issue or investigate data usage very quickly. We are also alerted about behaviors in a slack channel automatically. The aggregate graphs are very helpful. ### 19. thoughts on scalyr! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** great filtering options / tagging - really easy to find what i need without a complex custom query. i like it more than sumologic which wasn't as good here **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** with aggregate views of queries, its very hard / impossible to click in and find the actual source errors! **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** finding sources of errors ### 20. We are able to see the log very clear, for most of our distributed network **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin C. | Engineering Manager, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** I like Scalyr because it provides the visibility of our logs in all of our services, and we're able to check the logs we needed based on the available filter. And also, we are able to create alert threshold whenever we needed for our SRE team. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Probably we can have a sub-member for our Primary account, with own permission for sub-level entry subscription (lower subscription method). **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** I recommend Scalyr for every other Product/Services that use medium/big distributed systems so they able to prove their service reliability more efficiently using Scalyr **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** - We are able to know the issues faster than before. - Able to minimize our downtime period. - Able to mitigate and resolve issue within acceptable timeframe. ### 21. Great product for troubleshooting pain points of apps **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** I really like the way you can search for such specific parameters within scalyr! **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** I don't like how there's no easy navigation back to the original search if looking for a thread. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are finding the source of some bugs by using Scalyr! ### 22. Solid and lightning-fast centralised log management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Very fast, clean search interface. Powerful derivation of fields from incoming log messages. Compatible with almost any log format. Flexible and powerful alerting functionality. Our whole team can log in and set up their own alerts. Trivial to identify activity around a specific problem by "zooming in" on the timeline. Can easily see messages across multiple logs for the same host, or for the same log across multiple hosts. Invaluable when reviewing aggregated logs for auto-scaling environments where multiple hosts may spin up/down at any time. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Some features such as HipChat integration could be easier to set up. More granular roles/permissions might be nice (e.g. allow a user to create and manage their own alerts only). **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Try it, you might like it! **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Centralising logs across all sites we host in one place allows us to look for problem patterns across our entire platform, not just individual sites. Alerting is invaluable and the fact the whole team can log in with their own accounts and set up alerts specific to the project they're working with is fantastic. The excellent documentation and solid Linux agent made it very easy to roll out via Puppet. ### 23. Log aggregation centralized and simple **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joshua G. | Director of DevOps, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Once installed, I barely have to think about it **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** There’s not much to dislike. I could see some ways to simplify and improve the documentation **Recommendations to others considering DataSet (by SentinelOne):** Start small, use it, figure out how it works, and then expand **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Centralizing logging from AWS servers. When machines enter a death loop in their auto scaling group, it’s very useful to capture the logs. Seeing events across all machines instead of going through the logs one at a tile is useful ### 24. Great logs monitor **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** The best part is when my team can easily look at the problem on time and right to the root cause **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** sometimes the logs look delayed but not that bad **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** tons of logs can be classified and easy to read ### 25. Easy logging with Scalyr **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Keyword search is easy. Viewing and resolve alerts also easy to use. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Setting up alerts is not easy. Very easy to setup a fairly simply alert. But making any more change involves editing a org wide json file. **What problems is DataSet (by SentinelOne) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Centralized logging. ### 26. It's been a great and easy experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher M. | Senior Engineering Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2018 **What do you like best about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Easy setup, nice ui, easy alerts. The customer service is great and it integrates very easily with our autoscaling setup. **What do you dislike about DataSet (by SentinelOne)?** Not much so far!
