Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself.""Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)""It has a lot of great features.""Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents.""Sentinel has features that have helped improve our security poster. It helped us in going ahead and identifying the gaps via analysis and focusing on the key elements.""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 most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP.""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."

"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them.""ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs.""The tool's reports show activities.""It is stable.""The log management has helped to improve my organization.""The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration.""The initial setup is straightforward""It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."

"The solution is quite stable.""It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.""Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support.""Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos.""Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues.""The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded.""We are able to diagnose problems before our customers.""We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."

Cons
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook.""The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to.""The AI capabilities must be improved.""Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs.""We'd like to see more connectors.""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 reporting could be more structured.""The data connectors for third-party tools could be improved, as some aren't available in Sentinel. They need to be available in the data connector panel."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk.""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.""The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier.""The scalability is limited.""Support could improve to make the solution better.""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.""I would like to see more detailed reports."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Cons →

"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc.""Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless.""It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap.""The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems.""There are some API gaps that are missing.""Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved.""In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently.""The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."

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 →

  • "There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
  • "There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
  • "ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
  • "Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
  • "We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
  • More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
  • "Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
  • "We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
  • "The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
  • "The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
  • "The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
  • "Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
  • "If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
