I think that the pro is well suited for a complex environment for a big organization that has people that has a mid-size cybersecurity team in place. And it's less appropriate if you are a not so big company because the budget could be important. Barrier to adopt it right on the right way

Pros
Microsoft
  • I appreciate that it keeps the data within our, what we call our, authorization boundary. The fact that the data remains within Microsoft's, I guess, walled garden if you will, is very helpful for certain compliance needs in particular.
  • The large library of ingestion: ability to ingest is basically as easy as I can basically get it to be most of the time. There's occasionally some vendors that it's a little bit more challenging for, but given the ease of integration for a lot of things, basically it's become one of my requirements when I am looking at other tools is how easily do they integrate with Sentinel.

  • Flexibility in data recording, from the app, as well as in handling them. Allowing you to view reports quickly and effectively.
  • Easy to generate dynamic graphics according to our needs.
  • It is very easy to use, intuitive, so it does not generate costs in the learning process compared to the tool with collaborators

Cons
Microsoft
  • I think it should include more third party integration with non microsoft products as well as with other cloud providers. These integrations should be native.
  • It should improve ML and AI capabilities.
  • I find its documentation a little bit difficult to understand at the start. So the words should be simple.

  • Scalability is RAM limited, all data is associative and in-memory so server's RAM is directly proportional to performance
  • Limitation on advanced analytics capabilities in the form of R integration to perform complex statistical and analytical calculations
  • Can have more intuitive interface

Well before there was Microsoft Sentinel, you had other competing products like ArcSight or Splunk, et cetera. I think they have their own qualities, but the Microsoft integration story is really why we're using it.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • Log Management is a little difficult in-house as everything is situated on the cloud.
  • Paying according to the throughput of the data can be costlier for some organizations.
  • Excellent integration and log parsing for Microsoft products save many man-hours for the SIEM admin to focus on other things.
