    It's easy to integrate with other tools because it's a native Microsoft solution for generating OAuth tokens and handling other integrations. But as far as querying for data, using the LLM to analyze it and find that needle in the haystack, whatever, I feel it's terrible. In my experience, it just takes so much manipulation to get it to actually do what you want it to do.

    If you need a network security forensic tool, this is a great fit. Scrutinizer collects everything you have configured as a target without losing data. If you need an in-depth analysis of your network flows, as in who is doing what with what this is a good fit. Scrutinizer translates a massive about of data into readable tables and reports.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Sometimes people don't know how to do a certain feature, especially in Excel, for example. It's a little bit more complex and a community for certain people. And with just a couple of questions about using Microsoft Security Copilot, they can get their answers ready, not having to get support from IT, right? So it eliminates multiple tickets and support from personnel on our team, and they can get the response themselves via this assistant.

    • Once configured, Scrutinizer gives an accurate overview of network activity.
    • Scrutinizer is able to collect flows from a variety of devices, you are not limited to Cisco.
    • DSCP based reporting, which is helpful when attempting to determine how good your wireless network is from a QoS perspective.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • I don't have that as of yet. I do like the product for now. I'm sure that as I use it more, I will find things that can be improved. Just understanding how it integrates with the Microsoft ecosystem, it works just fine for what I use it for.

    • The free version has some limitations that make an accurate evaluation difficult, every day at midnight the data is flushed and you start over.
    • If you are purchasing the appliance, you won't have admin access to it.
    • Reporting could use some polished graphics and advance filtering features.

    We are not going to stop using M365 and our environment is large enough that there is not enough in-house expertise to handle all aspects of security, even with the help of a MSSP. Security Copilot helps us shore up the knowledge gap and keep our organization's security posture tight.

    Anyone can use it. Easy to prompt, also capabilities to become advance with custom agents. It can become custom to your workflow. Many people will have their unique experiences to share and results are generally positive. This is a growth in the product from the effect of community and adoption/usage.

    Support is support, they are either there or they are not. Scrutinizer support has been there every time I've needed them. They rely a bit too much on email correspondence, sometimes I want a voice to tell me what to do, and fast

    My usage of other products is based on SIEM tools. So far, Microsoft Security Copilot is the only product I've seen that works across multiple technologies/products to provide full visibility into security tooling using AI. I know other vendors are working towards this, but Microsoft has definitely taken a lead.

    Scrutinizer is a faster and simpler deployment while still delivering the tools and reports needed to gain accurate view traffic and network usage. Its cheaper than most alternatives and daily use is focused on understanding data, not making config changes so you can understand data. Risk reduction and elimination is the primary focus, Scrutinizer helps you do that.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • I'd say it was initially negative because it took us time to learn it and understand how to build the workflow around it. But since then, we've been able to speed up and adjust and adapt and move a lot faster. So it's overall.
    • It is definitely in the positive area now.
