Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The automation rules and playbooks are the most useful that I've seen. A number of other places segregate the automation and playbook as separate tools, whereas Microsoft is a SIEM and SOAR tool in one.""The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning.""I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products.""Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents.""The connectivity and analytics are great.""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.""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 data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult.""It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer.""We use the product for security.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate.""It has a quick detection and response time.""The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors.""The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."

More Fortinet FortiSOAR Pros →

"The solution is very easy to use.""It's really simple and has a flexible interface.""The product is very good at incident response.""IBM Resilient is scalable.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""What I like most about IBM Resilient is that it has a complete stack, which means you don't need to use different OEM products because you have all you need under the IBM Resilient umbrella. You don't need to worry much about integrations and components because you're working with tested and proven architecture.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable features of IBM Resilient are its flexibility and customization options for incident response."

More IBM Resilient Pros →

Cons
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs.""Sentinel's alerts and notifications are not fully optimized for mobile devices. The overall reporting and the analytics processes for the end user should also be improved. Also, the compatibility and availability of data sources and reports are not always perfect.""Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this.""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""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.""The reporting could be more structured.""If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement.""They can work on the EDR side of things... Every time we need to onboard these kinds of machines into the EDR, we need to do it with the help of Intune, to sync up the devices, and do the configuration. I'm looking for something on the EDR side that will reduce this kind of work."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate.""The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors.""The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced.""Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best.""I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved.""Technical support could be improved.""The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices.""Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."

More Fortinet FortiSOAR Cons →

"It is not very straightforward to set up custom integrations, especially with services like Azure. You need an additional server for integration.""The integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions.""The initial setup is complex.""The product must provide more integration with other tools.""The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts.""One thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading.""The product needs a bit more development.""Its price needs improvement."

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 →

  • "Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
  • "The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
  • "The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
  • "Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
  • "If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
  • "Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
  • "Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
  • More Fortinet FortiSOAR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very expensive."
  • "There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM Resilient is not too expensive, but it's not affordable, so it's moderately expensive. Regarding price, I'm rating the solution seven out of ten. The company pays for the license yearly, based on the number of users. Apart from the cost of the license you need to pay for each user, you also need to spend an initial investment for the base platform. You also have to pay for IBM Resilient support."
  • "We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
  • "I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."
  • "Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."
  • "The cost of the product is quite high."
  • "I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
