Hiram Machado - PeerSpot reviewer

Processes security data very well, but its cost is the main challenge
For many customers, it's too expensive. It comes at a price. What we end up doing is activating it for the purpose of extracting an action plan, then we turn it off. So, unfortunately, for most customers, we're not using it constantly. We're using it sporadically or while investigating a particular incident. We are turning it on and off because of price constraints. More transparency is needed. The pricing model should also be different. To improve Microsoft Security Copilot and make it the best solution in the market, the main hurdle today is cost. If a way could be found to make it more cost-effective and streamline the licensing mechanism, they have the technology to succeed in the marketplace. It's potentially better than what's out there.

Automated threat hunting has reduced investigation time and now improves incident visibility
We have not tested in that manner because when comparing with the competition product CrowdStrike, Purple AI and CrowdStrike are pretty good and more or less equal in the way of responding to a query. On the technical side, I can compare Purple AI with CrowdStrike's threat intelligence. CrowdStrike was initially a breach investigation company and was in the Indian market well before SentinelOne, acquiring more significant ground. We have used Charlotte AI, which is provided by CrowdStrike, the direct competitor of SentinelOne. These two have key differences. Charlotte AI focuses more on IOAs and IOCs, whereas Purple AI helps us query the logs and hunt threats. As an improvement, if SentinelOne could focus on IOA similar to what CrowdStrike is giving, that would be a good point. They could feed information on IOA, such as based on attackers, what different attack groups are performing the attacks, and provide those insights. Compared to its competition, for doing DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response), not only IOCs are needed but also IOAs. Information about the indication of the attacker, who is attacking, and the attacker group history would be better if Purple AI could incorporate that. We can build some queries and automated responses for any suspicious or malicious conditions. It would be better if there were workflows in place for giving alerts. The way alerts are handled could be improved because when compared to other competing products, I am able to handle the technique of the threat and categorize it based on severity. If it has a major impact on the environment, I can contain the system. I have numerous options to create various kinds of alerts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find it secure. The security guardrails that have been set for it to explore and get the required information are working flawlessly."
"The features of Microsoft Security Copilot that I appreciate the most include the ease of the prompts that I give, which generate easy answers for me. It also automatically gives me options to apply, which is very helpful."
"Now that the cost has matched the value, AI in Microsoft security cannot be avoided anymore."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Copilot for Security is its auditing capabilities, which allow us to monitor and easily recognize unauthorized data access attempts."
"Microsoft Copilot for Security helps us understand security warnings. It allows me to understand global user and device activity, and this feature keeps all critical information in one place."
"The features of Microsoft Security Copilot have benefited our organization by bringing in a lot of efficiencies between teams."
"It has definitely impacted my operations in a good way because it saves a lot of time."
"Microsoft Security Copilot has helped with easing that pressure because everything is under a single umbrella, and they are able to devote their time towards the right set of activities."
"In terms of visibility, Purple AI gives great performance; since it provides much deeper visibility, we are able to respond to an attack in reduced time."
 

Cons

"One of the pain areas I have with Microsoft is that most of the security gets checked in only with E5. There is a very limited set of things one could do with E3."
"Governance is an area where Microsoft Security Copilot can be improved, and it should be included as an additional feature in the next release."
"To improve Microsoft Security Copilot and make it the best solution in the market, the main hurdle today is cost."
"Customers are seeking alternative solutions because they are not utilizing all features of Microsoft Security Copilot due to expensive licensing."
"Regarding pricing, it is a bit high, as each time it is discussed with customers, pricing becomes a challenging topic."
"There has not been enough stability and reliability demonstrated yet."
"The solution does exactly what I need, but sometimes the prompts required to get the needed information need to be rephrased several times. This might improve as I become more accustomed to using the system."
"It would be beneficial if Microsoft Security Copilot could work across multiple systems."
"For SMBs, it is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is decent if you compare it with the market. We were previously using a different service, but we wanted something under one umbrella, which is something Microsoft is able to give."
"Its pricing scares our customers the most. They didn't understand that it would generate such a cost. Once they understood, they became defensive about wanting to commit because it's not clear to them what the costs would be."
