"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The main benefit is the ease of integration."
"While Microsoft Sentinel provides a log of security events, its true power lies in its integration with Microsoft Defender."
"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It has basic out-of-the-box integrations with multiple log sources."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"Microsoft Sentinel provides the capability to integrate different log sources. On top of having several data connectors in place, you can also do integration with a threat intelligence platform to enhance and enrich the data that's available. You can collect as many logs and build all the use cases."
"The most valuable feature is the UEBA. It's very easy for a security operations analyst. It has a one-touch analysis where you can search for a particular entity, and you can get a complete overview of that entity or user."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."

"Technical support could be improved."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools."
"They should integrate it with many other software-as-a-service providers and make connectors available so that you don't have to do any sort of log normalization."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"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."
"There is a wider thing called Jupyter Notebooks, which is around the automation side of things. It would be good if there are playbooks that you can utilize without having to have the developer experience to do it in-house. Microsoft could provide more playbooks or more Jupyter Notebooks around MITRE ATT&CK Framework."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
