Find out in this report how the two Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises."
"Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly."
"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 machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"Sentinel has an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize the data properly. It gives me a solid overview of all the logs. We get a more detailed view that I can't get from the other SIEM tools. It has some IP and URL-specific allow listing"
"Having your logs put all in one place with machine learning working on those logs is a good feature. I don't need to start thinking, "Where are my logs?" My logs are in a centralized repository, like Log Analytics, which is why you can't use Sentinel without Log Analytics. Having all those logs in one place is an advantage."
"The automation feature is valuable."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"We use the product for security."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"I really like the auditing component because it really looks at exactly what has happened on the network."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator's performance is good."
"If you set it up right, it can really manage a very complex environment which require fine tuning where there are a lot of exceptions. That's what it caters to. It can just do those specifics in those exceptional situations, which is good."
"The most valuable feature of the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is agent communication."
"The best part is management in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its general purpose of protecting our endpoints from infections, malicious files, and all those kinds of things. The fact that there are organized policies and policy inheritance. The general management."
"Their support is really good. I would rate it a nine out of ten. I have never any issues with their support. They always reply and follow our queries on time."
"The central management console is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Sentinel's alerts and notifications are not fully optimized for mobile devices. The overall reporting and the analytics processes for the end user should also be improved. Also, the compatibility and availability of data sources and reports are not always perfect."
"Currently, the watchlist feature is being utilized, and although there have been improvements, it is still not fully optimized."
"Sentinel still has some anomalies. For example, sometimes when we write a query for log analysis with KQL, it doesn't give us the data in a proper way... Also, the fields or columns could be improved. Sometimes, it is not giving the desired results and there is a blank field."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development."
"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."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"There needs to be support for Mac computers. Currently, McAfee does not work on iOS."
"The solution sometimes has some false positives on IP addresses, from the web control aspect of the product. This needs to be improved."
"There is a problem when it comes to agent communication and duplicate records, where the rebooting of a machine leads to the installation of a new agent and you get a lot of duplicate records that ultimately affect your compliance monitoring."
"The installation process is quite difficult and requires technical support."
"Features such as full drive encryption are lacking in the cloud version."
"There should be more insights and completeness into the cyber kill chain, similar to CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. It just seems a little outdated in being 100% signature-based without all of the insights and protections that come with CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. Overall, they've got some catching up to do if they plan to compete in the comprehensive EDR space."
"The areas of concern where improvements are needed are related to the product's assignment policy and tag assignment, where users can assign the policies with the help of tags and sort out the systems."
"Lacks a single plug-in for multiple uses."
