Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The main benefit is the ease of integration.""It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things.""The automation rules and playbooks are the most useful that I've seen. A number of other places segregate the automation and playbook as separate tools, whereas Microsoft is a SIEM and SOAR tool in one.""The connectivity and analytics are great.""Sentinel has features that have helped improve our security poster. It helped us in going ahead and identifying the gaps via analysis and focusing on the key elements.""The analytic rule is the most valuable feature.""The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities.""The Identity Behavior tab furnishes us with the entire history linked to each IP or domain that has either accessed or attempted to access our system."

"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The reputation of the brand is very good.""The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors.""Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution.""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."

"The ease of deployment is a valuable feature.""Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive.""It basically automates the entire alert investigation process."

More SECDO Platform Pros →

Cons
"Sentinel's alerts and notifications are not fully optimized for mobile devices. The overall reporting and the analytics processes for the end user should also be improved. Also, the compatibility and availability of data sources and reports are not always perfect.""Sentinel still has some anomalies. For example, sometimes when we write a query for log analysis with KQL, it doesn't give us the data in a proper way... Also, the fields or columns could be improved. Sometimes, it is not giving the desired results and there is a blank field.""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...""They need to work with other security vendors. For example, we replaced our email gateway with Symantec, but we couldn't collect these logs with Azure Sentinel. Instead of collecting these logs with Azure Sentinel, we are collecting them on Qradar. We couldn't do it with Sentinel, which is a problem for us.""The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook.""The learning curve could be improved. I am still learning it. We were able to implement the basic features to get them up and running, but there are still so many things that I don't know about all its features. They have a lot of features that we have not been able to use or apply. If they could work on reducing the solution's learning curve, that would be good. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it.""The reporting could be more structured.""I think the number one area of improvement for Sentinel would be the cost."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand.""The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate.""Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis.""Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best.""Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases.""The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors.""The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices.""The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."

More Fortinet FortiSOAR Cons →

"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it.""Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting.""The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."

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 →

  • "Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
  • "The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
  • "The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
  • "Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
  • "If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
  • "Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
  • "Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
  • "Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."

  • "Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
  • "The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Another PeerSpot reviewer, a Vice President of Global Technology Infrastructure Automation at a financial services firm, notes of the product, “The most valuable feature is its centralization as you don't want to be going to different locations to correlate items or to piece anything together to derive meaningful insights.”

    Zaidoon A., sales product manager at Nourneti, writes, “I like that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer. The solution is scalable. The solution is stable.”

    SECDO enables security teams to identify and remediate incidents fast. Using thread-level endpoint monitoring and causality analytics, SECDO provides visibility into every endpoint along with the context necessary for understanding whether a suspicious activity is a genuine threat. Unique deception techniques force threats like ransomware out into the open early, and trigger automated containment and remediation.

    SECDO provides the most intuitive investigation experience available so you can quickly unravel complex incidents across the organization.  You can investigate incidents detected by SECDO as well as alerts from the SIEM. SECDO visualizes the attack chain so you immediately understand the “who, what, where, when and how” behind the incident. Then, based on an analysis of exactly how endpoints were compromised, SECDO surgically remediates the incident with minimum user impact.
