We performed a comparison between Google Chronicle Suite and Microsoft Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The support team is responsive."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"What is most useful, is that it has a good connection to the Microsoft ecosystem, and I think that's the key part."
"Sentinel improved how we investigate incidents. We can create watchlists and update them to align with the latest threat intelligence. The information Microsoft provides enables us to understand thoroughly and improve as we go along. It allows us to provide monthly reports to our clients on their security posture."
"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."
"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."
"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 part that was very unexpected was Sentinel's ability to integrate with Azure Lighthouse, which, as a managed services solution provider, gives us the ability to also manage our customers' Sentinel environments or Sentinel workspaces. It is a big plus for us. With its integration with Lighthouse, we get the ability to monitor multiple workspaces from one portal. A lot of the Microsoft Sentinel workbooks already integrate with that capability, and we save countless amounts of money by simply being able to almost immediately realize multitenant capabilities. That alone is a big plus for us."
"Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"If I see an alert and I want to drill down and get more details about the alert, it's not just one click. In other SIEM tools, you just have to click the IP address of the entity and they give you the complete picture. In Sentinel, you have to write queries or use saved queries to get details."
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook."
"I can't think of anything other than just getting the name out there. I think a lot of customers don't fully understand the full capabilities of Azure Sentinel yet. It is kind of like when they're first starting to use Azure, it might not be something they first think about. So, they should just kind of get to the point where it is more widely used."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
