It's a plug-and-play solution, so you can start seeing benefits quickly using the out-of-the-box analytics rules and use cases
The SOAR playbooks are Sentinel's most valuable feature. It gives you a unified toolset for detecting, investigating, and responding to incidents. That's what clearly differentiates Sentinels from its competitors. It's cloud-native, offering end-to-end coverage with more than 120 connectors. All types of data logs can be poured into the system so analysis can happen. That end-to-end visibility gives it the advantage. Sentinel's AI and automation capabilities make our SOC team's job easy. When logs come into Sentinel, the AI engine analyzes, contextualizes, and correlates them. The AI is correlating the data from multiple log sources and giving us alerts. We depend on that. We also perform automated remediation based on our SOAR playbooks.

Great for reporting and ticketing for SOC MxDR client environments and has a great, supportive community
There are so many incredible features in the Chronicle SOAR platform that it's difficult to narrow down the list, however, if I had to choose, I would say that the most valuable features are the playbook builder and the integrations. The playbook builder allows us to establish workflows for the various case types that our analysts encounter within the SOC. These can be as granular or as high level as they need to be depending upon our business objectives and alert priorities. In turn, the tremendous number of integrations in the marketplace and the IDE (to custom-develop new integrations) are what make the playbooks as powerful as they are. Together, the integrations and playbooks make it simple to integrate powerful new capabilities and workflows.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Sentinel is that it's cloud-based."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents."
"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"We use the product for security."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Siemplify is the playbooks that can be created."
"Without hyperbole, I have never, in my entire career, encountered a vendor or a vendor community as awesome as Siemplify. Siemplify and the Siemplify Community quite literally made it possible for our SOC to increase almost five-fold in our number of clients and number of analysts and to go from a Monday to Friday 9-5 shop to a 24/7 shop all in the span of under a year and a half and all while continually adding capabilities and improving the services we offer to our clients."
"The playbooks feature in Siemplify is crucial for automation. We've utilized both standard and custom integrations with other security operation solutions, enhancing our flexibility. The user interface is generally straightforward, although recent changes may require some adjustment and Siemplify's integrations and capabilities offer potential support for various compliance requirements."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"Everyone has their favorites. There is always room for improvement, and everybody will say, "I wish you could do this for me or that for me." It is a personal thing based on how you use the tool. I do not necessarily have those thoughts, and they are probably not really valuable because they are unique to the context of the user, but broadly, where it can continue to improve is by adding more connectors to more systems."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"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."
"We have been working with multiple customers, and every time we onboard a customer, we are missing an essential feature that surprisingly doesn't exist in Sentinel. We searched the forums and knowledge bases but couldn't find a solution. When you onboard new customers, you need to enable the data connectors. That part is easy, but you must create rules from scratch for every associated connector. You click "next," "next," "next," and it requires five clicks for each analytical rule. Imagine we have a customer with 150 rules."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"We often encounter minor issues that could be improved, but we maintain communication with the developers and submit feature requests. Recently, I requested enhancements such as improved search functionality within playbooks and expanded options for exporting case data."
"Building the playbooks could be easier and the integration could improve. It is a difficult process, such as what API connections need to be made."
"I'm inclined to say that I'd love to see some Machine Learning capabilities integrated into the platform, however, I just attended a demo this morning where Siemplify gave a sneak peek into some Machine Learning capabilities that they are currently developing and have roadmapped for release soon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sentinel is a pay-as-you-go solution. To use it, you need a Log Analytics workspace. This is where the logs are stored and the cost of Log Analytics is based on gigabytes... On top of that, there is the cost of Sentinel, which is about €2 per gigabyte. If a customer has an M365 E5 license, the logs that come from Microsoft Defender are free."
"Microsoft Sentinel can be costly, particularly for data management."
"The are two native advantages for customers that use M365 Security and Sentinel. The first advantage is that the log or security-event ingestion into Sentinel is free. Cost-wise, they're saving a lot and that is a major advantage."
"It is priced fairly given the value that you get from the use of the product. The biggest mistake people make with Microsoft Sentinel is not understanding the pricing model and the amount of data that they are going to be running through the tool because you are paying based on the flow. You are paying based on the amount of data that is moving through the tool. People do not plan, and therefore, they get surprised by the cost associated with using the tool. They connect everything because they want to know everything, but connecting everything is very expensive."
"The current licensing is based on the logs that are being ingested on the platform. Most of the SIEM solutions utilize that pricing model, but Microsoft should give us a customization option for controlling the kind of logs that we feed into Microsoft Sentinel. That will be much better. Otherwise, the pricing is a bit higher."
"We are charged based on the amount of data used, which can become expensive."
"No license is required to make use of Sentinel, but you need to buy products to get the data. In general, the price of those products is comparable to similar products."
"Sentinel's pricing is on the higher side, but you can get a discount if you can predict your usage. You have to pay ingestion and storage fees. There are also fees for Logic Apps and particular features. It seems heavily focused on microtransactions, but they may be slightly optional. By contrast, Splunk requires no additional fee for their equivalent of Logic. You have a little more flexibility, but Sentinel's costs add up."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
