Pros
"The best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found.""In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store""The AI and ML of Azure Sentinel are valuable. We can use machine learning models at the tenant level and within Office 365 and Microsoft stack. We don't need to depend upon any other connectors. It automatically provisions the native Microsoft products.""The most valuable features are its threat handling and detection. It's a powerful tool because it's based on machine learning and on the behavior of malware.""The best feature is that onboarding to the SIM solution is quite easy. If you are using cloud-based solutions, it's just a few clicks to migrate it.""The Identity Behavior tab furnishes us with the entire history linked to each IP or domain that has either accessed or attempted to access our system.""I've worked on most of the top SIEM solutions, and Sentinel has an edge in most areas. For example, it has built-in SOAR capabilities, allowing you to run playbooks automatically. Other vendors typically offer SOAR as a separate licensed solution or module, but you get it free with Sentinel. In-depth incident integration is available out of the box.""The solution has features that helped improve the security posture of our clients. It provides the ability to correlate a large variety of log sources very cost-effectively, especially for Microsoft sources."

"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer.""We use the product for security.""It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult.""The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate.""The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response.""It has a quick detection and response time.""The reputation of the brand is very good."

"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process.""The ease of deployment is a valuable feature.""Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."

Cons
"Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools.""The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning.""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.""If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement.""Sentinel's reporting is complex and can be more user-friendly.""One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform.""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.""We do have in-built or out-of-the-box metrics that are shown on the dashboard, but it doesn't give the kind of metrics that we need from our environment whereby we need to check the meantime to detect and meantime to resolve an incident. I have to do it manually. I have to pull all the logs or all the alerts that are fed into Sentinel over a certain period. We do this on a monthly basis, so I go into Microsoft Sentinel and pull all the alerts or incidents we closed over a period of thirty days."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand.""Technical support could be improved.""The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate.""The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors.""I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it.""I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved.""Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases.""The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."

More Fortinet FortiSOAR Cons →

"Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting.""Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it.""The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."

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 →

  • "Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
  • "The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
  • "The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
  • "Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
  • "If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
  • "Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
  • "Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Another PeerSpot reviewer, a Vice President of Global Technology Infrastructure Automation at a financial services firm, notes of the product, “The most valuable feature is its centralization as you don't want to be going to different locations to correlate items or to piece anything together to derive meaningful insights.”

    Zaidoon A., sales product manager at Nourneti, writes, “I like that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer. The solution is scalable. The solution is stable.”

    SECDO enables security teams to identify and remediate incidents fast. Using thread-level endpoint monitoring and causality analytics, SECDO provides visibility into every endpoint along with the context necessary for understanding whether a suspicious activity is a genuine threat. Unique deception techniques force threats like ransomware out into the open early, and trigger automated containment and remediation.

    SECDO provides the most intuitive investigation experience available so you can quickly unravel complex incidents across the organization.  You can investigate incidents detected by SECDO as well as alerts from the SIEM. SECDO visualizes the attack chain so you immediately understand the “who, what, where, when and how” behind the incident. Then, based on an analysis of exactly how endpoints were compromised, SECDO surgically remediates the incident with minimum user impact.
