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."Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The support team is responsive."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents."
"It has basic out-of-the-box integrations with multiple log sources."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"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 most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"I've worked on most of the top SIEM solutions, and Sentinel has an edge in most areas. For example, it has built-in SOAR capabilities, allowing you to run playbooks automatically. Other vendors typically offer SOAR as a separate licensed solution or module, but you get it free with Sentinel. In-depth incident integration is available out of the box."
"The standout feature of Sentinel is that, because it's cloud-based and because it's from Microsoft, it integrates really well with all the other Microsoft products. It's really simple to set up and get going."
"Log aggregation and data connectors are the most valuable features."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"Sentinel provides decent visibility, but it's sometimes a little cumbersome to get to the information I want because there is so much information. I would also like to see more seamless integration between Sentinel and third-party security products."
"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."
"I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."
"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."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"Microsoft Defender has a built-in threat expert option that enables you to contact an expert. That feature isn't available in Sentinel because it's a huge product that integrates all the technologies. I would like Microsoft to add the threat expert option so we can contact them. There are a few other features, like threat assessment that the PG team is working on. I expect them to release this feature in the next quarter."
"The reporting could be more structured."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
