Room For Improvement

Devo requires improvements in stability, integration, documentation, customization, data handling, and user interface to enhance user experience.
Sentinel's unclear security, complex interfaces, and integration issues hinder user experience and compliance, demanding improved customization and dashboards.
UI improvements, a simplified dashboard, or an easier reporting workflow could further improve analyst productivity.

Integrations with other sandboxes could be improved to better interpret data using AI and machine learning models.

Price is always a consideration, so the price would be nice if it were lower.
Manager, Customer Success at Coltek Business Soltuions
 

Setup Cost

Devo's attractive pricing offers transparency, extended capabilities, and bundled features, but metadata charges may impact overall savings.
Sentinel offers flexible subscription pricing with discounts, yet costs align with competitors, suitable for enterprises but pricey for small businesses.
They nearly always bill it in dollars, so if it can be billed in our currency, that would be helpful and fixed in our currency.
Manager, Customer Success at Coltek Business Soltuions
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that while it is a little on the higher side, since it is part of a package for all Microsoft products, I feel it is a better choice comparatively than other SIEMs in the market.

Valuable Features

Devo offers powerful data visualization, real-time analytics, advanced querying, and ease of integration, enhancing security efficiency across industries.
Sentinel provides comprehensive threat detection and analysis with seamless Microsoft integration, offering real-time insights and scalable security solutions.
When they see a spike in a line chart for a failed login, which could be a true or false attempt, they can click that spike, and a table widget on the same active board instantly populates with raw logs of data for those specific failed logins.
Strategic Account Executive at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
When the analyst uses queries to search, it pulls the data quickly, in a second, which aids us greatly with the investigation.
Cyber Security Engineer II (Vulnerability & Threat Management) at FICO
Sentinel's best features include that it's a very easy product to use.
Manager, Customer Success at Coltek Business Soltuions
In terms of metrics showing how Sentinel has helped, as part of log filtering, we have reduced around thirty to thirty-five percent of false-positive incident creation.

Has improved investigative workflows with interactive dashboards and simplified data correlation
The data analytics cloud component focuses on real-time analytics, which is very impressive. The SIEM collects and correlates logs data from different sources and can integrate with ServiceNow, hardware asset management, and software asset management. The security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) is another valuable feature. The security data platform serves as the foundation of Devo. Regarding advanced query capabilities, Devo offers several models including query logs, visual query builder, language integrated query, and SQL, with SQL being the most frequently used querying data capability. The single pane of glass that Devo offers is the SOC. The tools in Devo's active ports are for investigating, not just viewing data. They are more interactive than other market solutions. The drill-down reports capabilities allow analysts to click on any element in a widget. When they see a spike in a line chart for a failed login, which could be a true or false attempt, they can click that spike, and a table widget on the same active board instantly populates with raw logs of data for those specific failed logins. This is particularly important for enterprise companies with numerous endpoints and users. The dynamic filtering of inputs significantly reduces the time cybersecurity analysts spend trying to figure out failed logins and identifying false positives.

Simple antivirus solution integrates well but could improve pricing and currency options
I don't really have experience working with these solutions. I promote them for our clients, but I don't work with them. I can't share my experience with these tools as I make assumptions about that. For both Adlumin and CrowdStrike, both confirm that they're scalable and enterprise-ready and all those kinds of things. We haven't had any specific problem with either of those. We just have a preference for which one we would prefer. If somebody says they want to use a different one from the one that we prefer, then we have to find reasons why they aren't. But scalability is not one of the reasons that one is better over the other. I don't really have advice for people that are looking into using Sentinel; just do your research across what is available. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Sentinel a seven.
