Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The pricing of the product is excellent.""The product can integrate with any device.""It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things.""If you know how to do KQL (kusto query language) queries, which are how you query the log data inside Sentinel, the information is pretty rich. You can get down to a good level of detail regarding event information or notifications.""The best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found.""It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us.""Its inbuilt Kusto Query Language is a valuable feature. It provides the flexibility needed to leverage advanced data analytics rules and policies and enables us to easily navigate all our security events in a single view. It helps any user easily understand the data or any security lags in their data and applications.""The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."

More Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service Pros →

"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring.""The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature.""It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market.""The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results.""Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs.""We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company.""The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."

More Splunk Enterprise Security Pros →

Cons
"We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log.""We do have in-built or out-of-the-box metrics that are shown on the dashboard, but it doesn't give the kind of metrics that we need from our environment whereby we need to check the meantime to detect and meantime to resolve an incident. I have to do it manually. I have to pull all the logs or all the alerts that are fed into Sentinel over a certain period. We do this on a monthly basis, so I go into Microsoft Sentinel and pull all the alerts or incidents we closed over a period of thirty days.""Currently, the watchlist feature is being utilized, and although there have been improvements, it is still not fully optimized.""Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs.""If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable.""Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks.""They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook.""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."

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 →

"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems.""The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code.""DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down.""The security can be improved.""They should make data onboarding easier.""The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country.""Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution.""The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."

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 →

  • "Pricing and licensing is quite expensive. But for the value the product provides, it seems at par in the market."
  • "Although Splunk is an expensive product, it is designed to be utilized across your organization in order to maximize your ROI and lower your TCO."
  • "It is not cheap."
  • "Splunk Enterprise becomes extremely expensive after the 20GB/month license."
  • "You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
  • "Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
  • "Pricing is pretty fair."
  • "While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
