We performed a comparison between Microsoft Sentinel and Trellix ESM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are some very powerful features to Sentinel, such as the integration of various connectors. We have a lot of departments that use both IaaS and SaaS services, including M365 as well as Azure services. The ability to leverage connectors into these environments allows for large-scale data injection."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"Microsoft Sentinel provides the capability to integrate different log sources. On top of having several data connectors in place, you can also do integration with a threat intelligence platform to enhance and enrich the data that's available. You can collect as many logs and build all the use cases."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"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."
"Sentinel has an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize the data properly. It gives me a solid overview of all the logs. We get a more detailed view that I can't get from the other SIEM tools. It has some IP and URL-specific allow listing"
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"It blocks the things which are not to be allowed. It has an adaptive mode where it learns for itself."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"Compared to other solutions, the user interface is good."
"It is easy to use."
"It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved."
"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."
"This solution integrates easily and very well with other technologies."
"If I see an alert and I want to drill down and get more details about the alert, it's not just one click. In other SIEM tools, you just have to click the IP address of the entity and they give you the complete picture. In Sentinel, you have to write queries or use saved queries to get details."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
"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."
"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."
"Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex."
"The AI capabilities must be improved."
"We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version."
"The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing."
"Product currently requires Flash."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved."
"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."
