There is no UK-based support, which leads to delays in waiting for US support.

If I raise a ticket, it initially goes to the L1 team, but the next level of escalation is really effective.

Room For Improvement

IC Sharepoint Administrator at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Microsoft should introduce an intermediate tier below E5 that covers all P1 licenses, as customers often need coverage across the entire M365 suite.
Director at Scybers
It could be improved in terms of producing reports to provide information to the C-suite or others.
Manager, Information Technology Security Compliance at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present.
Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
Senior SOC Developer at XVE Security

Featured Reviews

Director at Scybers
Have consistently built secure internal environments while implementing compliance tools for diverse customer needs
The customizable alerts system needs improvement. The detection rules are not extensive enough. There should be more possibilities for creating alerts based on additional criteria. While rules can be customized, the available criteria for creating detection rules should be expanded. Microsoft's pricing is very expensive. The Business Premium offering should be extended to enterprise customers, as it's currently limited to 300 users. There should be a tier below E5 that includes Microsoft Purview and other features. Currently, E5 licensing costs approximately 6,000 INR per user per month including taxes. Competitive solutions offer similar functionality at about 50% of Microsoft's cost. Email DLP is included in Business Premium or P1 licenses, while P2 licenses cover endpoint DLP and additional channels. Microsoft should introduce an intermediate tier below E5 that covers all P1 licenses, as customers often need coverage across the entire M365 suite.

Centralized environment supports big data while facing integration challenges
The customization in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more difficult compared to other solutions. At the operation level, we are not facing many challenges with automating things using Securonix Next-Gen SIEM, but at the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present. The primary technology challenge we have is not at the security tools level. For example, firewall Cisco and others are capable. However, specific to product, for SAP, we are using certain products, and developing custom connectors for each product, especially the internal applications, is difficult, and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is not up to the mark.
