The major thing that I have experienced while using it is that although Sentinel is feature-rich software and filled with advanced tools, sentinel is capable of maintaining the balance between advancement and simplicity, thus making it usable for both the professional security team and those new in this field. Its dashboard is highly customizable, enabling our security team to concentrate on alerts and matrices.

Anyone considering this platform, should analyze their needs and then check out how it will integrate with your device to fulfill your requirements. Also, train your team to get the best user experience and to facilitate maximum from it. By adopting this software and by considering all these recommendations, we can make the best instant decision for future strategies.
