We performed a comparison between Google Chronicle Suite and Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."
"Sentinel enables us to ingest data from our entire ecosystem. In addition to integrating our Cisco ASA Firewall logs, we get our Palo Alto proxy logs and some on-premises data coming from our hardware devices... That is very important and is one way Sentinel is playing a wider role in our environment."
"The native integration of the Microsoft security solution has been essential because it helps reduce some false positives, especially with some of the impossible travel rules that may be configured in Microsoft 365. For some organizations, that might be benign because they're using VPNs, etc."
"Sentinel is a SIEM and SOAR tool, so its automation is the best feature; we can reduce human interaction, freeing up our human resources."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The support team is responsive."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The most valuable feature of Sentinel is the dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"The tool is simple to use."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
"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."
"We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log."
"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."
"We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"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."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"It is an ancient product."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
