Pros
"We use the solution to collect logs.""The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."

More Graylog Security Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high.""Log aggregation and data connectors are the most valuable features.""The in-built SOAR of Sentinel is valuable. Kusto Query Language is also valuable for the ease of writing queries and ease of getting insights from the logs. Schedule-based queries within Sentinel are also valuable. I found these three features most useful for my projects.""It has a lot of great features.""The analytic rule is the most valuable feature.""The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources.""The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent.""The most valuable features are its threat handling and detection. It's a powerful tool because it's based on machine learning and on the behavior of malware."

Cons
"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."

More Graylog Security Cons →

"We'd like to see more connectors.""Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools.""I think the number one area of improvement for Sentinel would be the cost.""Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex.""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.""Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider.""In terms of features I would like to see in future releases, I'm interested in a few more use cases around automation. I do believe a lot of automation is available, and more is in progress, but that would be my area of interest."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
  • More Graylog Security 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."
