Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents.""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.""Azure Application Gateway makes things a lot easier. You can create dashboards, alert rules, hunting and custom queries, and functions with it.""Sentinel is a Microsoft product, so they provide very robust use cases and analytic groups, which are very beneficial for the security team. I also like the ability to integrate data sources into the software for on-premise and cloud-based solutions.""I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products.""The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents 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.""Sentinel pricing is good"

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor.""The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the user and entity behave as analytics(UEBA). This feature mixes your data and provides useful information based on the behavior of the targeted.""I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports.""Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features.""Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections.""Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat""The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pros →

"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click.""The setup is simple.""It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues.""The solution has great workflow and server modules.""It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."

More Pulseway Pros →

Cons
"We'd like also a better ticketing system, which is older.""We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log.""I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them.""The solution could improve the playbooks.""If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable.""We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers.""There is some relatively advanced knowledge that you have to have to properly leverage Sentinel's full capabilities. I'm thinking about things like the creation of workbooks, how you do threat-hunting, and the kinds of notifications you're getting... It takes time for people to ramp up on that and develop a familiarity or expertise with it.""We'd like to see more connectors."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update.""The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial.""Customer support service could be better.""I would like to see more integration with other platforms.""We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction.""FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space.""The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"There are some bugs or glitches.""They have good technical support but it's not excellent.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls.""The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."

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 →

  • "Please be cheaper and more simplified."
  • "We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
  • "Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
  • "Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
  • "The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
  • "They have a yearly subscription."
  • "The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
  • "Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
