Facilitates incident backtracking and identifying the cause of incidents but insufficient intelligence-driven analysis to suppress unnecessary alerts
There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk. Another area that needs improvement is the integration of various technologies. Currently, they don't cover most of the major technology domains, leaving out significant coverage. Moreover, there are many additional features I would like to see. One feature would be an automated workflow for report downloading and sending it to relevant individuals. Additionally, there should be event triggers to identify and handle duplicated events. It would be helpful to have AI-driven technology to differentiate between real and false alerts, as we receive numerous false positives. Not every event is critical, so an intelligent analysis, such as behavior-driven or logic-based, should be incorporated to suppress unnecessary alerts. So, I want to decrease false positive instances. I would like to see a significant decrease in false positives based on intelligent analysis. The analysis could be behavior-driven or based on any logical approach, but it should be incorporated into the system.

Native integrations are hassle free and transactional user data enhances security
Our company uses the solution's management stack which has good integration with Sentinel.  We have not necessarily realized the power of the solution but find integrations with other products to be valuable. We are able to understand how access management applications are being used for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
 

Cons

"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"The support needs improvement."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
"It is an ancient product."
"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."
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"The solution’s pricing is aligned with its competitors."
"Sentinel is a subscription-based solution."
