We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The UI of Sentinel is very good and easy to use, even for beginners.""I like the unified security console. You can close incidents using Sentinel in all other Microsoft Security portals, when it comes to incident response.""Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)""Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible.""Sentinel has features that have helped improve our security poster. It helped us in going ahead and identifying the gaps via analysis and focusing on the key elements.""The most valuable feature is the onboarding of the workloads. You can see all that has been onboarded in your account on the dashboards.""The main benefit is the ease of integration.""The automation feature is valuable."

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions.""The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good.""The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface.""The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features. The price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it.""It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology.""The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior.""Timeline based analysis; good platform support""I have customers that like the EUBA functionality of it. The solution has the ability to build a session, basically. It pulls a lot of information together, for example, everything a user does in a specific timeframe. It's quite helpful."

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Pros →

"The central management console is the solution's most valuable aspect.""McAfee is helping us to clean all of the viruses from the machines, protecting our desktops from the latest threats.""You have to have some experience, however, it's pretty simple to understand.""It is a scalable solution...I rate its scalability a nine out of ten.""What I like the most is the ability to manage centrally, to manage the various devices, the platform, and the endpoint, all from one console.""Application control and traffic encryption are the most valuable features.""I really like the auditing component because it really looks at exactly what has happened on the network.""The general endpoint protection is valuable, and it is easy to manage."

Cons
"Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise.""If you're looking to use canned queries, the interface could be a little more straightforward. It's not immediately intuitive regarding how you use it. You have to take a canned query and paste it into an operational box and then you hit a button... They could improve the ease of deploying these queries.""If I see an alert and I want to drill down and get more details about the alert, it's not just one click. In other SIEM tools, you just have to click the IP address of the entity and they give you the complete picture. In Sentinel, you have to write queries or use saved queries to get details.""If we want to use more features, we have to pay more. There are multiple solutions on the cloud itself, but the pricing model package isn't consistent, which is confusing to clients.""There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site.""The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development.""If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement.""There are certain delays. For example, if an alert has been rated on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, it might take up to an hour for that alert to reach Sentinel. This should ideally take no more than one or two seconds."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful.""We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment.""They need to focus on more of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and coverage. They claim they cover about 70 to 80%. I'm not sure if it's really quite that much, however.""The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive.""I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product.""The initial setup of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is complex because it needs to integrate with the SIEM solution, but after this is complete it is straightforward.""Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance.""They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Cons →

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator could improve by supporting container microservices, such as Docker and Kubernetes.""The issues with the integration capabilities of the product, specifically the ones that are deployed on an on-premises model, need to be improved.""While there are bugs and a few functionality issues, it is just a matter of raising them with the support team. However, support is part of the problem as well. You want everything to be seamless in a perfect world, but the support is spread across different countries. They have Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 is most likely in a developing country. They don't provide the best service.""McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator needs to upgrade the technology; it's like their area function is not quite as good as compared to other market vendors.""They have to do something to make the solution more resilient or recoverable from power failure events, which may include creating their own database.""McAfee should improve in terms of customer support and assigning a knowledgeable TAM to customers.""The Virtual Patching feature needs to be improved.""We need to consolidate multiple features into one console. It would be beneficial to have all the important features on a single platform."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It comes with a Microsoft subscription which the customer has, so they don't have to invest somewhere else."
  • "It is a consumption-based license model. bands at 100, 200, 400 GB per day etc. Azure Sentinel Pricing | Microsoft Azure"
  • "Good monthly operational cost model for the detection and response outcomes delivered, M365 logs don't count toward the limits which is a good benefit."
  • "I have had mixed feedback. At one point, I heard a client say that it sometimes seems more expensive. Most of the clients are on Office 365 or M365, and they are forced to take Azure SIEM because of the integration."
  • "It is kind of like a sliding scale. There are different tiers of pricing that go from $100 per day up to $3,500 per day. So, it just kind of depends on how much data is being stored. There can be additional costs to the standard license other than the additional data. It just kind of depends on what other services you're spinning up in Azure, or if you're using something like Azure log analytics."
  • "I am just paying for the log space with Azure Sentinel. It costs us about $2,000 a month. Most of the logs are free. We are only paying money for Azure Firewall logs because email logs or Azure AD logs are free to use for us."
  • "Sentinel is a bit expensive. If you can figure a way of configuring it to meet your needs, then you can find a way around the cost."
  • "Azure Sentinel is very costly, or at least it appears to be very costly. The costs vary based on your ingestion and your retention charges."
  • More Microsoft Sentinel Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
  • "There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
  • "Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Compared to other Antivirus products, the cost of this solution is a bit high."
  • "McAfee tries to package different things into different products, then sell them as different products with different licenses. They just split everything up into multiple things. That's just their sales pitch and how they do it."
  • "This solution is priced in the mid-range."
  • "For large enterprise companies, the price should be alright, but for small businesses, the uptake might be slow because, for these clients, the price doesn't look very attractive."
  • "It is attractively priced. It is a fraction of what we're going to pay for CrowdStrike or SentinelOne, but it only has a fraction of the capabilities as well."
  • "There is a license required to use this solution. If we use the additional components, such as DLP encryption, there is an additional cost. However, it is similar to a separate product altogether. If you want to use that or not, it is optional, but when you use it, it will cost you additional pricing."
  • "McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is not an expensive solution."
  • "$The price of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is expensive, it is approximately $6,000 to $9,000 per license annually."
