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."We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"The UI-based analytics are excellent."
"The pricing of the product is excellent."
"Microsoft Sentinel enables you to ingest data from the entire ecosystem and that connection of data helps you to monitor critical resources and to know what's happening in the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It is used as an alerting platform."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The user interface is very good."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"We'd like also a better ticketing system, which is older."
"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."
"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."
"Azure Sentinel will be directly competing with tools such as Splunk or Qradar. These are very established kinds of a product that have been around for the last seven, eight years or more."
"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."
"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."
"It has been a challenge with Azure Sentinel to onboard the Syslog server from FortiGate. Azure Sentinel can work better on that shift between the Syslog server and a firewall."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The scalability is limited."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
