Hiram Machado - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO / CISO at adaQuest Inc
Processes security data very well, but its cost is the main challenge
For many customers, it's too expensive. It comes at a price. What we end up doing is activating it for the purpose of extracting an action plan, then we turn it off. So, unfortunately, for most customers, we're not using it constantly. We're using it sporadically or while investigating a particular incident. We are turning it on and off because of price constraints. More transparency is needed. The pricing model should also be different. To improve Microsoft Security Copilot and make it the best solution in the market, the main hurdle today is cost. 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. It's potentially better than what's out there.
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.

"Microsoft Copilot for Security helps us understand security warnings. It allows me to understand global user and device activity, and this feature keeps all critical information in one place."

"Purple AI provides availability and ensures that all threat detection and response are available in a single platform."
"In terms of visibility, Purple AI gives great performance; since it provides much deeper visibility, we are able to respond to an attack in reduced time."
"The barrier to entry is lowered significantly, and also the speed is improved."
 

Cons

"One of the pain areas I have with Microsoft is that most of the security gets checked in only with E5. There is a very limited set of things one could do with E3."
"Governance is an area where Microsoft Security Copilot can be improved, and it should be included as an additional feature in the next release."
"I think it can be improved by having more users feeding it information because the more things it pulls from, the more we teach it and it builds on it."
"The issue with all AIs, not just Microsoft Security Copilot, is that when I do something and feel it's wrong, I need a tech lead to verify."
"Customers are seeking alternative solutions because they are not utilizing all features of Microsoft Security Copilot due to expensive licensing."
"I believe Microsoft Security Copilot could be improved in terms of the UI and the process. The UI needs improvement because it can be distracting with some windows on your right and left sides."
"The UI needs improvement because it can be distracting with some windows on your right and left sides."
"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."
"For SMBs, it is quite expensive."
"There are potentially areas that have room for improvement to make Purple AI better, such as comprehension of the questions."
"The only concern related to pricing is the ingestion-based pricing model, which is higher at scale."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is decent if you compare it with the market. We were previously using a different service, but we wanted something under one umbrella, which is something Microsoft is able to give."
"Its pricing scares our customers the most. They didn't understand that it would generate such a cost. Once they understood, they became defensive about wanting to commit because it's not clear to them what the costs would be."
