Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products.""The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources.""Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises.""It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks.""It has basic out-of-the-box integrations with multiple log sources.""Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself.""Sentinel has an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize the data properly. It gives me a solid overview of all the logs. We get a more detailed view that I can't get from the other SIEM tools. It has some IP and URL-specific allow listing""The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"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.""The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface.""It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology.""Timeline based analysis; good platform support""The setup is not difficult. It was easy.""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 advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Pros →

"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency.""Snare has good agents, especially for Windows.""The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have security value."

More Snare Pros →

Cons
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft.""Its documentation is not so simple. It is easy for somebody who is Microsoft certified or more closely attached to Microsoft solutions. It is not easy for those who are working on open-source platforms. There isn't a central point where everything is documented, and there is no specific training or certification.""The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure.""Sentinel's alerts and notifications are not fully optimized for mobile devices. The overall reporting and the analytics processes for the end user should also be improved. Also, the compatibility and availability of data sources and reports are not always perfect.""Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes.""The learning curve could be improved. I am still learning it. We were able to implement the basic features to get them up and running, but there are still so many things that I don't know about all its features. They have a lot of features that we have not been able to use or apply. If they could work on reducing the solution's learning curve, that would be good. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it.""When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel""I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate""We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment.""Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful.""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.""I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product.""They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails.""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.""We had a large volume right from the beginning and they weren't quite prepared for that. That's something that they should think about when it comes to customers that have a large volume to start off with."

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Cons →

"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit.""The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet.""Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."

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 →

  • "Snare has reasonable pricing."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Snare's pricing a four out of ten."
  • "Snare is a cheap solution because a lot of customers are using it."
