We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have no complaints about the features or functionality.""Microsoft Sentinel enables you to ingest data from the entire ecosystem and that connection of data helps you to monitor critical resources and to know what's happening in the environment.""The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native.""The standout feature of Sentinel is that, because it's cloud-based and because it's from Microsoft, it integrates really well with all the other Microsoft products. It's really simple to set up and get going.""Sentinel's most important feature is the ability to centralize all the logs in one place. There's no need to search multiple systems for information.""The SOAR playbooks are Sentinel's most valuable feature. It gives you a unified toolset for detecting, investigating, and responding to incidents. That's what clearly differentiates Sentinels from its competitors. It's cloud-native, offering end-to-end coverage with more than 120 connectors. All types of data logs can be poured into the system so analysis can happen. That end-to-end visibility gives it the advantage.""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 dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."

"The reputation of the brand is very good.""The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate.""We use the product for security.""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.""Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution.""It has a quick detection and response time.""It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."

More Fortinet FortiSOAR Pros →

"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos.""The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs.""For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly.""Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support.""Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues.""We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product.""It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily.""We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."

Cons
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved.""When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear.""The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive.""Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved.""The AI capabilities must be improved.""While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate.""The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook.""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."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved.""Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best.""The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices.""The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors.""The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand.""Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."

More Fortinet FortiSOAR Cons →

"There are some API gaps that are missing.""I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial.""The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it.""If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see.""The integration with multiple sources could be better.""We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels.""The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems.""The solution should improve its UI."

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."
  • "Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
  • More Fortinet FortiSOAR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
  • "Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
  • "We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
  • "The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
  • "The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
  • "The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
  • "Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
  • "If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
