"Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible."
"Sentinel is a Microsoft product, so they provide very robust use cases and analytic groups, which are very beneficial for the security team. I also like the ability to integrate data sources into the software for on-premise and cloud-based solutions."
"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 product can integrate with any device."
"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."
"Sentinel improved how we investigate incidents. We can create watchlists and update them to align with the latest threat intelligence. The information Microsoft provides enables us to understand thoroughly and improve as we go along. It allows us to provide monthly reports to our clients on their security posture."
"The best feature is that onboarding to the SIM solution is quite easy. If you are using cloud-based solutions, it's just a few clicks to migrate it."
"The AI and ML of Azure Sentinel are valuable. We can use machine learning models at the tenant level and within Office 365 and Microsoft stack. We don't need to depend upon any other connectors. It automatically provisions the native Microsoft products."
"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"I like LogRhythm's ease of use. The solution has improved compared to previous versions. It had many issues before, like integration, the console, creating reports, false positives, etc. The AI engine has made it stronger in the latest version."
"The most useful feature that I've found so far is the search function. I like all the different ways you're able to search through metadata and the different ways you're able to correlate or search through logs to find out what's going on."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is customizable, simple to manage, and there are many features. The solution does not require an expert to be able to use it, anyone can use it."
"Its ability to work with all different sorts of log sources has been extremely valuable."
"I find LogRhythm's log management capabilities to be beneficial."
"The feature that makes it usable is the web interface."
"Technical support is very helpful and responsive."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement."
"I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud."
"They should just add more and more out-of-the-box connectors. It is quite a new product, and it has a lot of connectors, and even more would be good."
"While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"Sentinel still has some anomalies. For example, sometimes when we write a query for log analysis with KQL, it doesn't give us the data in a proper way... Also, the fields or columns could be improved. Sometimes, it is not giving the desired results and there is a blank field."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"It should have some more message monitoring features. It can also have some free message monitoring tools."
"There are other security technologies outside of this SIEM that should be inside of this SIEM. I can see in their roadmap that they're trying to address a lot of these things, and have these technologies built into the solution, because there is no point in going to another vendor or opening up a second window to obtain the data that you need."
"When we originally got LogRhythm, their tech support was fantastic, and I loved them. Now, we don't quite get as quick of a response. I've been disappointed in the more recent tech support. When you call in, they'll say that they will get you somebody, and you'll finally get someone who will contact you back a day or so later. Whereas before, I would get help right away."
"I don't think the cloud model in LogRhythm is developed enough."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"I have probably submitted half a dozen log parser requests, and I keep finding more stuff that we need to keep an eye on that doesn't have a definition in LogRhythm."
"I would like to suggest that they should improve their usage of third party tools for making dashboards and reports. If they would create their own tools for dashboard and report, it would be much better in terms of security purposes."
"The web and on-premise console interface should be the same instead of having a separate engine for each."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
