    Microsoft
    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.

    ThreatConnect
    If ThreatConnect is going to be used to create playbooks the required technical knowledge and try and error that is required may not be for everyone. The application provides an app builder capability that is really useful but in order to be used the user needs to have intermediate to advanced programing abilities.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    • One of the most beneficial features of the ThreatConnect is its ability to automatically enrich IOCs from multiple sources such as VT WHOis and assign a dynamic threat score.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    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.

    As ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Operations Platform has a ready HTTP Client App, we can virtually integrate it with any system that supports REST APIs. This gives great room for integration and automation that is not found on other systems.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • 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.
