Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product can integrate with any device.""Sentinel improved how we investigate incidents. We can create watchlists and update them to align with the latest threat intelligence. The information Microsoft provides enables us to understand thoroughly and improve as we go along. It allows us to provide monthly reports to our clients on their security posture.""I like the ability to run custom KQL queries. I don't know if that feature is specific to Sentinel. As far as I know, they are using technology built into Azure's Log Analytics app. Sentinel integrates with that, and we use this functionality heavily.""The best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found.""There are some very powerful features to Sentinel, such as the integration of various connectors. We have a lot of departments that use both IaaS and SaaS services, including M365 as well as Azure services. The ability to leverage connectors into these environments allows for large-scale data injection.""The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP.""Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly.""Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7.""We find the solution to be stable.""The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance.""The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor.""FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication.""Technical support is helpful.""We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times.""Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pros →

"The solution is stable.""The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team.""You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers.""The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features.""Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs.""We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic.""The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence.""The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."

Cons
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed.""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.""Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved.""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.""Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel.""When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear.""If Azure Sentinel had the ability to ingest Azure services from different tenants into another tenant that was hosting Azure Sentinel, and not lose any metadata, that would be a huge benefit to a lot of companies.""The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites.""We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction.""We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files.""FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors.""The log collection and configuration management are not great.""There is no proper guide for integration or configuration.""Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time.""The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there.""It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft.""The dashboard has always been an issue.""For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial.""The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release.""The management console could use some enhancements.""The product should improve the triggering rate.""It would be ideal with the processing was more manageable. Not many customers are willing to have a dedicated server with two CPUs and one TB of memory. The cost of this is huge for a smaller organization."

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 →

  • "Please be cheaper and more simplified."
  • "We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
  • "Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
  • "Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
  • "The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
  • "They have a yearly subscription."
  • "The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
  • "Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
  • More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
  • "Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
  • "The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
  • "The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
  • "We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
  • "The price is quite reasonable."
  • "I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
