Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's easy to use. It's a very good product. It can easily ingest data from anywhere. It has an easily understandable language to perform actions.""The analytic rule is the most valuable feature.""One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service.""We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable.""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.""Azure Application Gateway makes things a lot easier. You can create dashboards, alert rules, hunting and custom queries, and functions with it.""It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks.""The most valuable features are its threat handling and detection. It's a powerful tool because it's based on machine learning and on the behavior of malware."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting.""The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises.""The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."

More RSA enVision Pros →

"The tool is simple to use.""The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources.""The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure.""It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs.""The most valuable feature of Sentinel is the dashboard.""The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this.""Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."

More Sentinel Pros →

Cons
"They can work on the EDR side of things... Every time we need to onboard these kinds of machines into the EDR, we need to do it with the help of Intune, to sync up the devices, and do the configuration. I'm looking for something on the EDR side that will reduce this kind of work.""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.""I would like to see more AI used in processes.""When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel""The dashboards can be improved. Creating dashboards is very easy, but the visualizations are not as good as Microsoft Power BI. People who are using Microsoft Power BI do not like Sentinel's dashboards.""The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook.""There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site.""The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly.""The integration could be easier, it should support more products.""RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."

More RSA enVision Cons →

"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms.""The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations.""I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability.""You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced.""The dashboard and customer view should be improved""I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard.""There is no integration in the web-side of the tool.""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 →

  • "We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
  • More RSA enVision 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."
