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

"The features of Microsoft Sentinel that I appreciate the most include the app integration."

"We have no complaints about the features or functionality."

"Sentinel provides a single pane of glass for reviewing logs from disparate sources, making it quicker to get to the critical items and resolve any problem."

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

"While Microsoft Sentinel provides a log of security events, its true power lies in its integration with Microsoft Defender."

"For us, at least, the price point is justified, and we have not had any issues."

"Microsoft Sentinel has helped by streamlining our security. We have a nine-member network team, with three members managing security for the city, and Sentinel allows us to operate an unofficial SOC."

"Being able to dictate and train efficiently and in a streamlined way is probably the most value proposition we have for something in this category."

More Microsoft Sentinel pros

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

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

"If we compare the solution with other SIEM solutions that are also turning to artificial intelligence, this will be the number one choice."

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

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

"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 pricing of Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is very reasonable."

"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."

Cons

"Microsoft Sentinel's ability to correlate data from multiple sources does not enhance our threat detection capabilities beyond what a simple data lake solution could offer, as we are a developer, so it is not necessarily applicable."

"Everyone has their favorites. There is always room for improvement, and everybody will say, "I wish you could do this for me or that for me." It is a personal thing based on how you use the tool. I do not necessarily have those thoughts, and they are probably not really valuable because they are unique to the context of the user, but broadly, where it can continue to improve is by adding more connectors to more systems."

"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."

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

"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."

"I think the number one area of improvement for Sentinel would be the cost."

"The reporting could be more structured."

"There is room for improvement in terms of integrations. We have some tools, such as our off-site Meraki firewalls, that have not fully integrated with Sentinel. We lack integration for Syslogs into Sentinel."

More Microsoft Sentinel cons

"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."

"The product should improve the triggering rate."

"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 small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."

"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."

"It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions."

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

"The management console could use some enhancements."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sentinel is fairly priced and pretty cost-effective."

"Microsoft is costlier. Some organizations may not be able to afford the cost of Sentinel orchestration and the Log Analytics workspace. The transaction hosting cost is also a little bit on the high side, compared to AWS and GCP."

"Pricing for Microsoft Sentinel could always be lower, but it's workable. The ingestion costs for the data analytics is usually the highest cost, but the licensing per Microsoft Sentinel is fairly straightforward and transparent."

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

"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."

"The pricing isn't very high. It depends on the number of logs you have. If you're expecting to ingest 50 to 60G in a day, but you're only ingesting 20 to 25G per day at first and you have a good team to analyze the logs, then you can segregate the ingestion at under 15G."

"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."

"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."

More Microsoft Sentinel pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The price is quite reasonable."

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