We performed a comparison between Google Chronicle Suite and Microsoft Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The support team is responsive."
"It's easy to use. It's a very good product. It can easily ingest data from anywhere. It has an easily understandable language to perform actions."
"The native integration of the Microsoft security solution has been essential because it helps reduce some false positives, especially with some of the impossible travel rules that may be configured in Microsoft 365. For some organizations, that might be benign because they're using VPNs, etc."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."
"If you know how to do KQL (kusto query language) queries, which are how you query the log data inside Sentinel, the information is pretty rich. You can get down to a good level of detail regarding event information or notifications."
"The connectivity and analytics are great."
"Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)"
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"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 product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"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."
"The KQL query does not function effectively with Windows 11 machines, and in the majority of machine-based investigations, KQL queries are essential for organizing the data during investigations."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."
"The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"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."
"It could have a better API to be able to automate many things more extensively and get more extensive data and more expensive deployment possibilities. It can gain some points on the automation part and the integration part. The API is very limited, and I would like to see it extended a bit more."
