Sentiment score
6.0
Purple AI is a scalable option with unique Flexi-license, though its full autonomous capabilities are still developing.
We don't have any concerns whatsoever with scalability.
CEO / CISO at adaQuest Inc
Scalability is the name of the game, involving understanding exactly where focus and money need to be placed and ensuring that where focus and money are placed can scale with the size, speed, and capabilities of organizations as they adopt AI in the workplace.

I think Microsoft Security Copilot scales well with the growing needs of our organization.
Associate Director, Strategy & Operations at Evalueserve
If we scale and add any two to three pieces within our existing plan, based on the endpoint, it gives the next term and when we pay the money, it adds that amount in the billing and it's quite easy.
Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Purple AI has very high chances of scalability.
Soc Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Purple AI works well for all types of alerts across various data sources and environments; hence, I find it good for scalability.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Microsoft Security Copilot is reliable with no major issues, but concerns exist about its hosting and response variability.
Sentiment score
7.3
Purple AI is stable and reliable but may require precise prompts and relies on SentinelOne's performance, causing occasional delays.
When talking about confidentiality, integrity, and availability, availability is the critical concern.
Manager, Practice Microsoft Security at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
There are circumstances where we expected certain things to surface through our prompting with Microsoft Security Copilot, but they did not come up.
CEO / CISO at adaQuest Inc
They have not had any incidents so far despite having everything on Microsoft Security Copilot.
Associate Director, Strategy & Operations at Evalueserve
The only concern is the prompting requirement, as we have to provide prompts in a proper manner, otherwise it will not work correctly.
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
I have not faced any challenges when implementing Purple AI.
IT Security Consultant at Systemhaus for you GmbH
Sometimes it lacks performance and may take a while to load, or it may not show alerts at all, requiring us to log out and log back in.
IT Security Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Security Copilot needs better cross-system functionality, pricing clarity, UI design, customization, and improved integration with non-Microsoft tools.
Purple AI should improve threat analysis, UI, and customization to enhance threat detection and match CrowdStrike's capabilities.
Microsoft needs to give at least some kind of à la carte option between E3 and E5, maybe an E4, to cherry-pick from E5.
Director, Information Technology Security at Tyson Foods
If a way could be found to make it more cost-effective and streamline the licensing mechanism, they have the technology to succeed in the marketplace.
CEO / CISO at adaQuest Inc
Even though Microsoft is a major technology company with insurance coverage, customers worry about potential data leaks, especially in sensitive industries such as banking and semiconductor manufacturing.
Technical Services Manager at ATS
AI combined with automation is a very powerful tool, and combining these could reduce both time and work because automation saves time for everyone.
Soc Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
As an improvement, if SentinelOne could focus on IOA similar to what CrowdStrike is giving, that would be a good point.
Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited
The only concern related to pricing is the ingestion-based pricing model, which is higher at scale.
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Security Copilot is competitively priced and integrates well for existing Microsoft users, with potential concerns about additional costs.
Most of my customers are already within Microsoft stack, and the pricing is mostly well accepted.
Senior Technical Director at Globant
We wanted something under one umbrella, which is something Microsoft is able to give.
Owner & CPO at Sensfrx
Its pricing scares our customers the most.
CEO / CISO at adaQuest Inc
Providing SentinelOne solution for small scale enterprise, if they could offer better prices, it would be more useful.
Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
I would say the solution is a little expensive.
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Security Copilot boosts efficiency with AI-driven incident handling, integrating tools for quick responses and enhanced SOC operations.
Purple AI enhances threat detection and response with accurate predictions, deep visibility, and multi-language support for efficient analysis.
The integration of Microsoft Security Copilot with other Microsoft solutions has had a positive impact on my company's security posture because it's integrated into the operating system.
Security engineer at a university with 10,001+ employees
One of the major use cases that we have seen is the reduced time spent on integrating and understanding Purview's output versus Sentinel's output, because the two speak to each other through Microsoft Security Copilot.
Associate Director, Strategy & Operations at Evalueserve
Microsoft Security Copilot has helped us and our clients reduce the mean time to resolution significantly.
Solutions Principal at Aboutxtreme!
In today's world, the time to respond to an attack is key.
Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited

RajatSharma1 - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Director, Strategy & Operations at Evalueserve
Brings security operations under one umbrella and reduces investigation time across teams
One thing that we heard not from our engineers but from our procurement team was that they are not very clear on the licensing and pricing for Microsoft Security Copilot. We have been trying it out for the last two months as we are a Microsoft shop and have been given early access to it. However, there has not been a lot of clarity for our procurement team on what will happen once this trial period or this early access is over. If there could have been a bit more clarity on whether this is based on a per seat per month basis, or if it is based on APIs, or on the basis of how many calls to action you are taking, that would help. When they have tried to reach out to the sales team, the response they have gotten is that they should try it out first and pricing will be discussed later. Just a bit more clarity on pricing would be nice to have.
GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer

Automated threat hunting has reduced investigation time and now improves incident visibility
We have not tested in that manner because when comparing with the competition product CrowdStrike, Purple AI and CrowdStrike are pretty good and more or less equal in the way of responding to a query. On the technical side, I can compare Purple AI with CrowdStrike's threat intelligence. CrowdStrike was initially a breach investigation company and was in the Indian market well before SentinelOne, acquiring more significant ground. We have used Charlotte AI, which is provided by CrowdStrike, the direct competitor of SentinelOne. These two have key differences. Charlotte AI focuses more on IOAs and IOCs, whereas Purple AI helps us query the logs and hunt threats. As an improvement, if SentinelOne could focus on IOA similar to what CrowdStrike is giving, that would be a good point. They could feed information on IOA, such as based on attackers, what different attack groups are performing the attacks, and provide those insights. Compared to its competition, for doing DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response), not only IOCs are needed but also IOAs. Information about the indication of the attacker, who is attacking, and the attacker group history would be better if Purple AI could incorporate that. We can build some queries and automated responses for any suspicious or malicious conditions. It would be better if there were workflows in place for giving alerts. The way alerts are handled could be improved because when compared to other competing products, I am able to handle the technique of the threat and categorize it based on severity. If it has a major impact on the environment, I can contain the system. I have numerous options to create various kinds of alerts.
