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 connectivity and analytics are great."
"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 log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"We’ve got process improvement that's happened across multiple different fronts within the organization, within our IT organization based on this tool being in place."
"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"
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"We use the product for security."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the support."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this."
"Documentation is the main thing that could be improved. In terms of product usage, the documentation is pretty good, but I'd like a lot more documentation on Kusto Query Language."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"In terms of features I would like to see in future releases, I'm interested in a few more use cases around automation. I do believe a lot of automation is available, and more is in progress, but that would be my area of interest."
"If you're looking to use canned queries, the interface could be a little more straightforward. It's not immediately intuitive regarding how you use it. You have to take a canned query and paste it into an operational box and then you hit a button... They could improve the ease of deploying these queries."
"They're giving us the queries so we can plug them right into Sentinel. They need to have a streamlined process for updating them in the tool and knowing when things are updated and knowing when there are new detections available from Microsoft."
"The built-in SOAR is not really good out-of-the-box. The SOAR relies on logic apps and you almost need to have some kind of developer background to be able to make these logic apps. Most security people cannot develop anything..."
"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 technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."
"The initial setup and deployment are complex."
