Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Identity Behavior tab furnishes us with the entire history linked to each IP or domain that has either accessed or attempted to access our system.""The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies.""The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high.""Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible.""The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources.""The analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature.""Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises.""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 security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."

More Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service Pros →

"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs.""The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure.""The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources.""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.""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.""The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."

More Sentinel Pros →

Cons
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook.""Azure Sentinel will be directly competing with tools such as Splunk or Qradar. These are very established kinds of a product that have been around for the last seven, eight years or more.""We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log.""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.""They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook.""There is some relatively advanced knowledge that you have to have to properly leverage Sentinel's full capabilities. I'm thinking about things like the creation of workbooks, how you do threat-hunting, and the kinds of notifications you're getting... It takes time for people to ramp up on that and develop a familiarity or expertise with it.""Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider.""Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."

More Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service Cons →

"Log source integration with Sentinel needs to be improved.""There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms.""The dashboard and customer view should be improved""The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations.""I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability.""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.""It is an ancient product."

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 →

  • "The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
  • More Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We inquired about getting support from the vendor, Micro Focus, but the cost was very high."
  • "We receive a pricing discount because of our ongoing partnership with Micro Focus."
  • "Sentinel's slightly on the expensive side."
  • "The solution’s pricing is aligned with its competitors."
  • "Sentinel is a subscription-based solution."
  • "Sentinel is an expensive solution."
  • "Sentinel is moderately priced."
