We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the unified security console. You can close incidents using Sentinel in all other Microsoft Security portals, when it comes to incident response.""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.""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.""One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service.""Sentinel enables us to ingest data from our entire ecosystem. In addition to integrating our Cisco ASA Firewall logs, we get our Palo Alto proxy logs and some on-premises data coming from our hardware devices... That is very important and is one way Sentinel is playing a wider role in our environment.""I like the KQL query. It simplifies getting data from the table and seeing the logs. All you need to know are the table names. It's quite easy to build use cases by using KQL.""The SOAR playbooks are Sentinel's most valuable feature. It gives you a unified toolset for detecting, investigating, and responding to incidents. That's what clearly differentiates Sentinels from its competitors. It's cloud-native, offering end-to-end coverage with more than 120 connectors. All types of data logs can be poured into the system so analysis can happen. That end-to-end visibility gives it the advantage.""You can fine-tune the SOAR and you'll be charged only when your playbooks are triggered. That is the beauty of the solution because the SOAR is the costliest component in the market today... but with Sentinel it is upside-down: the SOAR is the lowest-hanging fruit. It's the least costly and it delivers more value to the customer."

"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time.""The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable.""The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance.""File integrity monitoring is a very important function."

More NNT Log Tracker Enterprise Pros →

"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status.""We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions.""The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation.""UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature.""The indexing and data collection are valuable.""The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable.""Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI.""The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."

Cons
"Sentinel should be improved with more connectors. At the moment, it only covers a few vendors. If I remember correctly, only 100 products are supported natively in Sentinel, although you can connect them with syslog. But Microsoft should increase the number of native connectors to get logs into Sentinel.""If we want to use more features, we have to pay more. There are multiple solutions on the cloud itself, but the pricing model package isn't consistent, which is confusing to clients.""We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed.""They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome.""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.""Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs.""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.""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 →

"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet.""The correlation suite needs to be improved.""It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate.""I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."

More NNT Log Tracker Enterprise Cons →

"The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated.""I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions.""The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files.""The configuration had a bit of a learning curve.""Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it.""The product was difficult to back up the first time.""More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it.""Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."

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 →

  • "Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
  • "We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
  • "NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
  • More NNT Log Tracker Enterprise Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing and licensing is quite expensive. But for the value the product provides, it seems at par in the market."
  • "Although Splunk is an expensive product, it is designed to be utilized across your organization in order to maximize your ROI and lower your TCO."
  • "It is not cheap."
  • "Splunk Enterprise becomes extremely expensive after the 20GB/month license."
  • "You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
  • "Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
  • "Pricing is pretty fair."
  • "While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
