We performed a comparison between zure Active Directory Identity Protection and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM has a feature called Spotter that reduces false positives and a UEBA feature that creates a user baseline. It also has a reporting capacity that provides valuable data insights. Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, on the other hand, offers strong information security with sensitive labeling and impressive compliance and authentication capabilities. It also has a reverse proxy feature that sets it apart. Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs to enhance its graphical reports, administrative options, parsing, and training. On the other hand, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection needs to work on identity labeling, password management, auditor tool, Mac device compatibility, stability, and scalability.
Service and Support: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM and Azure Active Directory Identity Protection's customer service received ratings of 8-9 out of 10 and 8 out of 10. There were mixed reviews for Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's customer service, with some positive experiences and some delays in response. However, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection's technical support was considered very good.
Ease of Deployment: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's initial setup was dependent on the reviewer's involvement, whereas Azure Active Directory Identity Protection had a straightforward but preparation-requiring process. Onboarding data sources was time-consuming for Securonix, while Azure received a high rating of eight out of ten.
Pricing: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more affordable than IBM and Splunk, but may become more intricate with extra features. Azure Active Directory Identity Protection is rated as competitive with a cost of $5-$6 per user.
ROI: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM focuses on saving time and manpower through infrastructure management and contextual information, while Azure Active Directory Identity Protection prioritizes reducing identity-based attack risk and improving security posture. Both solutions have their own unique advantages.
Comparison Results: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is the preferred choice compared to Azure Active Directory Identity Protection. It has a user-friendly interface and offers a more comprehensive set of features, including analytics-driven approach, UEBA, and powerful threat detection tools. While Azure Active Directory Identity Protection offers strong information security, it has some limitations in identity labeling, password management, and device compatibility.
"The primary and most valuable aspect of Azure AD identity is its ability to function seamlessly on both on-premise and cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive updates. However, this dual solution can pose vulnerabilities that require substantial support and security measures in the on-premise environment. Despite the challenges, it is currently not feasible to completely abandon AD, especially for companies in the sales and energy sectors. The integration with Microsoft Defender is crucial for enhancing security, making identity and security the primary focus and purpose of Azure AD."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."
"[The solution has] incident-management or case-management functionality. If someone were to download a high number and we decided we needed to investigate it, I could open a case right in the tool. It would be able to directly reference the data that they downloaded and we could open and shut the case directly in the tool, as well as report from it."
"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."
"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."
"The two major features of this product we extensively use are the UEBA capability and the multi-tenant approach with the centralized data logs system. Customers are very happy with these features."
"Identity labeling and sensitivity needs improvement."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
"The solution's sync should be faster since it can take about 30 minutes to two hours to complete a simple sync. The tool needs to sync instantly. It also needs to improve scalability, support, and stability."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."
"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."
"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."
