Gives us one place to investigate and respond to threats, and automation eliminates manual work

They can work on the EDR side of things. It is already really superb, because of the kinds of features we get with the EDR solution. It's not a standard EDR and they have recently enhanced things. But the problem is with onboarding devices. I have different OS flavors, including a large number of Linux, Windows, macOS, and some on-prem machines as well. 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. They can eliminate having to do manual configuration for the machines, and check the different types of configurations for each OS. In some cases, it does not support some OSs. If they could reduce this type of work, that would be really amazing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."

"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."

"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."

"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products."

"The automation rules and playbooks are the most useful that I've seen. A number of other places segregate the automation and playbook as separate tools, whereas Microsoft is a SIEM and SOAR tool in one."

"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."

"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."

"The solution has features that helped improve the security posture of our clients. It provides the ability to correlate a large variety of log sources very cost-effectively, especially for Microsoft sources."

More Microsoft Sentinel pros

"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."

"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."

"The solution is stable."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."

"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."

"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."

"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."

"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."

Cons

"From a client perspective, they'd like to see more cost savings."

"The AI capabilities must be improved."

"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."

"The data connectors for third-party tools could be improved, as some aren't available in Sentinel. They need to be available in the data connector panel."

"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."

"Sentinel could improve its ticketing and management. A few customers I have worked with liked to take the data created in Sentinel. You can make some basic efforts around that, but the customers wanted to push it to a third-party system so they could set up a proper ticketing management system, like ServiceNow, Jira, etc."

"We'd like also a better ticketing system, which is older."

"I would like Microsoft Sentinel to enhance its SOAR capabilities."

More Microsoft Sentinel cons

"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."

"The product should improve the triggering rate."

"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."

"It would be better if they offered global coverage."

"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."

"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."

"It would be ideal with the processing was more manageable. Not many customers are willing to have a dedicated server with two CPUs and one TB of memory. The cost of this is huge for a smaller organization."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Sentinel is pretty expensive, and they recently announced that they will increase the price of all Microsoft services running in Azure by 11 percent. Luckily, I'm not responsible for the financial side. For one of my clients, the estimated cost is 880,000 euros for one year. There are additional costs for the service agreement."

"Pricing is pay-as-you-go with Sentinel, which is good because it all depends on the number of users and the number of devices to which you connect."

"It comes with a Microsoft subscription which the customer has, so they don't have to invest somewhere else."

"Microsoft Sentinel is expensive."

"Microsoft Sentinel can be costly, particularly for data management."

"The cost of Sentinel is high. It typically costs more than $100 for five to ten users of the licenses or subscriptions. It costs around $123 per day on the cloud. Small- to mid-sized organizations would need a dedicated budget to adopt this solution; however, the cost may not be an issue for large, enterprise-level organizations."

"In comparison to other security solutions, Microsoft Sentinel offers a reasonable price for the features included."

"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

"The price is quite reasonable."

"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."

"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."

"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."

"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."

"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
