Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises.""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 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.""We have no complaints about the features or functionality.""The UI of Sentinel is very good and easy to use, even for beginners.""The solution has features that helped improve the security posture of our clients. It provides the ability to correlate a large variety of log sources very cost-effectively, especially for Microsoft sources.""The best feature is that onboarding to the SIM solution is quite easy. If you are using cloud-based solutions, it's just a few clicks to migrate it.""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."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"AWS Security Hub provides comprehensive alerts about potential compliance issues with CIS standards. The integration with third-party tools is another excellent feature. All our workloads are on AWS.""Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature.""Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution.""The solution shows us our compliance score.""The platform has valuable features for security.""Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup.""The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."

More AWS Security Hub Pros →

"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience.""What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool.""Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities.""The support team is responsive.""The log folder is fairly simple.""The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation.""The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well.""Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."

More Google Chronicle Suite Pros →

Cons
"We'd like to see more connectors.""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 interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to.""I would like to see more AI used in processes.""The data connectors for third-party tools could be improved, as some aren't available in Sentinel. They need to be available in the data connector panel.""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.""While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate.""I can't think of anything other than just getting the name out there. I think a lot of customers don't fully understand the full capabilities of Azure Sentinel yet. It is kind of like when they're first starting to use Azure, it might not be something they first think about. So, they should just kind of get to the point where it is more widely used."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"The support must be quicker.""AWS Security Hub should improve the time it takes to update. It takes a long period of time when updating. It can take 24 hours sometimes to update. Additionally, when integrating this solution with more security tools, takes time.""Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time.""Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub.""Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement.""From an improvement perspective, there is a need to add more compliance since, right now, AWS Security Hub only provides four to five compliances to control the tool.""We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub.""AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."

More AWS Security Hub Cons →

"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product.""The configuration is not optimal.""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 solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly.""The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel.""In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners.""The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs.""The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."

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."
