Centralized monitoring has improved threat response but cost control still needs refinement

Based on real operations used in our corporate IT environment, the key features include log correlation and incident view. Microsoft Sentinel's biggest strength is how it correlates multiple related alerts into a single incident. This significantly reduces alert noise and helps the SOC focus on real threats instead of isolated events. Another valuable feature is KQL-based threat hunting with Kusto Query Language. The flexibility of this language allows us to build custom hunting queries based on our environment's behavior. This is extremely useful for detecting low and slow threats or hidden threats that default rules may miss. Cloud-native scalability and stability is another important feature. Being cloud-native, Microsoft Sentinel scales well for medium to large corporate environments without infrastructure management. Stability has been solid in day-to-day production. SOAR automation using playbooks is a feature we highly recommend. Microsoft Sentinel's SOAR functionality helps automate repetitive SOC tasks like alert enrichment and notification. This saves analyst time and improves response consistency.

Offers remediation capabilities and provides a bird's-eye view of events happening in your environment, summarizing critical events that need attention

One drawback is that it becomes so easy to use that users may lose the habit of manual checks and balances. As a security person, you should always worry about potential threats. If you have a very useful and easy tool, you might lose the ability to think differently and critically. For example, in a group of ten people, if nine think the same way and one thinks differently, you should consider the tenth person's perspective because they might have valuable insights. Having a great product is not always beneficial because you may become too dependent on it, which can be problematic in the long term. If you lose your critical thinking skills, you might not recognize when something abnormal is happening. While the system will notice, systems can have their own challenges and issues. I'm not criticizing the product itself but emphasizing the importance of not being overly dependent on machines. Similar to what we see with Tesla cars, no matter how advanced, there is always a chance things may not work as expected. So, the users need to prepare for that eventuality. Seceon Open Threat Management Platform has some add-ons that they sell as part of the whole suite, but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially get more business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure Sentinel works perfectly in this case because we are using Microsoft resources."

"You can fine-tune the SOAR and you'll be charged only when your playbooks are triggered. That is the beauty of the solution because the SOAR is the costliest component in the market today... but with Sentinel it is upside-down: the SOAR is the lowest-hanging fruit. It's the least costly and it delivers more value to the customer."

"The scalability is great. You can put unlimited logs in, as long as you can pay for it. There are commitment tiers, up to six terabytes per day, which is nowhere close to what any one of our customers is running."

"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."

"The Log analytics are useful."

"Log aggregation and data connectors are the most valuable features."

"It's easy to use. It's a very good product. It can easily ingest data from anywhere. It has an easily understandable language to perform actions."

"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats; it covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."

More Microsoft Sentinel pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."

"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."

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

"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform provides a more straightforward implementation that is better than Splunk and offers an AI-based platform with machine learning and deep learning capabilities."

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

"The solution is stable."

"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."

Cons

"Sentinel provides decent visibility, but it's sometimes a little cumbersome to get to the information I want because there is so much information. I would also like to see more seamless integration between Sentinel and third-party security products."

"The learning curve could be improved. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it."

"They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome."

"There is room for improvement in terms of integrations."

"Sometimes you will find some network issue and network error with the Azure Sentinel portal. That's the biggest drawback I found with the Sentinel."

"We are not seeing cost savings right now, because using Azure Sentinel tools has increased our costs."

"The solution has not saved any money because it is still expensive."

"The learning curve could be improved. I am still learning it. We were able to implement the basic features to get them up and running, but there are still so many things that I don't know about all its features. They have a lot of features that we have not been able to use or apply. If they could work on reducing the solution's learning curve, that would be good. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it."

More Microsoft Sentinel cons

"The dashboard has always been an issue."

"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."

"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."

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

"The management console could use some enhancements."

"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"From a cost point of view, it is not a cheap product. It's, like, an enterprise-level application. So if you compare it with a low-level application, it's expensive, but if you compare it with the same-level application, it's pretty much cost-effective, I think."

"It is a consumption-based license model. bands at 100, 200, 400 GB per day etc. Azure Sentinel Pricing | Microsoft Azure"

"Sentinel is pretty competitive. The pricing is at the level of other SIEM solutions."

"I have worked with a lot of SIEMs. We are using Sentinel three to four times more than other SIEMs that we have used. Azure Sentinel's only limitation is its price point. Sentinel costs a lot if your ingestion goes up to a certain point."

"Cost-wise, Sentinel is based on the volume of information being ingested, so it can be quite pricey. The ability to use strategies to control what data is being ingested is important."

"Currently, given our use case, the cost of Sentinel is justified, but it is expensive."

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

More Microsoft Sentinel pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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