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."The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things."
"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."
"Sentinel pricing is good"
"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 dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)"
"It is able to connect to an ever-growing number of platforms and systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 or Office 365, as well as to external services and systems that can be brought in and managed. We can manage on-premises infrastructure. We can manage not just the things that are running in Azure in the public cloud, but through Azure Arc and the hybrid capabilities, we can monitor on-premises servers and endpoints. We can monitor VMware infrastructure, for instance, running as part of a hybrid environment."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."

"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."

"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."

"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"The solution could be more user-friendly; some query languages are required to operate it."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"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 dashboard needs to improve."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."

"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
