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 log folder is fairly simple."
"The support team is responsive."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"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 onboarding of the workloads. You can see all that has been onboarded in your account on the dashboards."
"Its inbuilt Kusto Query Language is a valuable feature. It provides the flexibility needed to leverage advanced data analytics rules and policies and enables us to easily navigate all our security events in a single view. It helps any user easily understand the data or any security lags in their data and applications."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"Sentinel enables us to ingest data from our entire ecosystem. In addition to integrating our Cisco ASA Firewall logs, we get our Palo Alto proxy logs and some on-premises data coming from our hardware devices... That is very important and is one way Sentinel is playing a wider role in our environment."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"The in-built SOAR of Sentinel is valuable. Kusto Query Language is also valuable for the ease of writing queries and ease of getting insights from the logs. Schedule-based queries within Sentinel are also valuable. I found these three features most useful for my projects."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"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 product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"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."
"They should just add more and more out-of-the-box connectors. It is quite a new product, and it has a lot of connectors, and even more would be good."
"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."
"It would be good to have some connectors for third-party SIEM solutions. Many customers are struggling with the integration of Azure Sentinel with their on-premise SIEM. Microsoft is changing the log structure many times a year, which can corrupt a custom integration. It would be good to have some connectors developed by Microsoft or supply vendors, but they are not providing such functionality or tools."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
