Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning.""The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies.""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.""One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Sentinel is that it's cloud-based.""Microsoft Sentinel enables you to ingest data from the entire ecosystem and that connection of data helps you to monitor critical resources and to know what's happening in the environment.""I like the unified security console. You can close incidents using Sentinel in all other Microsoft Security portals, when it comes to incident response.""The best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found.""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."

More Microsoft Sentinel Pros →

"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer.""NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect.""The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics.""Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network""The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping.""NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response.""The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that.""It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."

More NetWitness Platform Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting.""The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.""The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."

Cons
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks.""Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise.""The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to.""When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel""I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud.""Documentation is the main thing that could be improved. In terms of product usage, the documentation is pretty good, but I'd like a lot more documentation on Kusto Query Language.""The AI capabilities must be improved.""I can't think of anything other than just getting the name out there. I think a lot of customers don't fully understand the full capabilities of Azure Sentinel yet. It is kind of like when they're first starting to use Azure, it might not be something they first think about. So, they should just kind of get to the point where it is more widely used."

More Microsoft Sentinel Cons →

"It is not so easy to customize this product.""The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement.""Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance.""The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement.""There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams.""The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved.""The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too.""The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore.""The integration could be easier, it should support more products.""In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."

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 →

  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
  • "Our license is for one year."
  • More NetWitness Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
