"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."
"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."
"The part that was very unexpected was Sentinel's ability to integrate with Azure Lighthouse, which, as a managed services solution provider, gives us the ability to also manage our customers' Sentinel environments or Sentinel workspaces. It is a big plus for us. With its integration with Lighthouse, we get the ability to monitor multiple workspaces from one portal. A lot of the Microsoft Sentinel workbooks already integrate with that capability, and we save countless amounts of money by simply being able to almost immediately realize multitenant capabilities. That alone is a big plus for us."
"The solution has features that helped improve the security posture of our clients. It provides the ability to correlate a large variety of log sources very cost-effectively, especially for Microsoft sources."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"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."
"We’ve got process improvement that's happened across multiple different fronts within the organization, within our IT organization based on this tool being in place."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."

"If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"The dashboards can be improved. Creating dashboards is very easy, but the visualizations are not as good as Microsoft Power BI. People who are using Microsoft Power BI do not like Sentinel's dashboards."
"If you're looking to use canned queries, the interface could be a little more straightforward. It's not immediately intuitive regarding how you use it. You have to take a canned query and paste it into an operational box and then you hit a button... They could improve the ease of deploying these queries."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"We have been working with multiple customers, and every time we onboard a customer, we are missing an essential feature that surprisingly doesn't exist in Sentinel. We searched the forums and knowledge bases but couldn't find a solution. When you onboard new customers, you need to enable the data connectors. That part is easy, but you must create rules from scratch for every associated connector. You click "next," "next," "next," and it requires five clicks for each analytical rule. Imagine we have a customer with 150 rules."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
