    Most organization with medium & maturity SOC struggle with alert fatigue & false positives with addressing alert volume is result in increasing risk of critical alerts being masked by trivial one , in this situation FortiSOAR help in case management : rapidly response in case of crises also. FortiSOAR is designed very well where Fortinet have other stack of security component also like Fortinet NGFW & Forti SIEM etc.. Fortinet NGFW can and generate the FortiSOAR instance through FortiCloud for Customer . However In absence of FortiFabric it require lot of connectors to work well the solution.

    What has really impressed me is how Microsoft Sentinel delivers centralised security monitoring across multiple data sources in our enterprise. It has reduced cost of handling large security logs by collecting and analyzing data without friction of managing traditional SIEM infrastructure. It is easy to work to integrate with Azure logs for quick data analysis.

    • The visual presentation of data is terrific, so including what we had prior to Microsoft Sentinel, it presents data in a much more usable way, so that's been quite refreshing. It's not quite as complex to understand what you're looking at.

    Cons
    Fortinet
    • Training Services- Fortinet offers courses geared towards administration and designed and development of FortiSOAR , Which required multiples access , we need all training services with self pace basis , I think here Fortinet need to improve.
    • Licensing Model- Being as a new technology Licensing model should be crystal & Clear, be it Concurrent Users or The number of FortiSOAR nodes there should be no ambiguity .

    • One feature that I would like to see improved is probably the log parsing. I think one of the big things that Splunk does better than Microsoft Sentinel is that it makes it easy to bring in new log streams of arbitrary formats and parse them out into columns and tables. Microsoft Sentinel is a lot more involved, though. It takes a lot more manual work to bring in different log sources and parse them out.

    Done prove of concept (POC) thoroughly , where we judged the solution on every aspect & We came to know FortiSOAR will work well in our environment as it is blended with features like Case managements , Product Flexibility * Scalable Architecture . These features were much required to optimum use of our SOC solution. Since we have all the Fortinet security stack in our environment it helped us a lot in selection (POC) and also commercially.

    Compared to platforms such as Splunk, LogRhythm, and Devo, Microsoft Sentinel’s cloud‑native, consumption‑based pricing model and reduced infrastructure overhead tend to offer better overall cost efficiency. This is especially true for organizations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, where Sentinel can deliver strong capabilities with a lower total cost of ownership.

    • It's probably neutral. We see value, but it's, again, tick that kind of expense stuff. We're getting more insight and value into what is going on in that cloud workspace, but just noting the cost. So it's probably neutral. I'm not directly responsible, so the full kind of return on investment kind of cycle, that's someone else's problem. I'm like the end user. It's my team that will look at the data and look at the output of Microsoft Sentinel. So the ROI, someone else can worry about that.
