    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.

    Robust protection with a small footprint. Catches all malware and viruses, while respecting the exclusions put in place by our organization. Pricing was very aggressive compared to other products. Great management application, where you can manage the installations and even update third-party apps on those machines from that portal. Great product for a great price.

    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.

    • Vipre Antivirus constantly scans your computer in the background without a need for user intervention.
    • In one program Vipre can successfully protect all your computing devices from both malicious virus attacks as where vicious spyware intrusions.
    • You won't feel any slowness or sluggishness with Vipre installed & running in the background while you continue to use your computing devices.

    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.

    • When using older versions of Outlook I have seen the plugin cause sluggish behavior and hangs, in 2007 and 2010 versions specifically.
    • For some business applications, there are .dll's and libraries and application .exe's that can be misidentified as virus or trojans. While it is fairly easy to whitelist these once discovered, new implementors should be aware that they will need to carefully look through their initial virus scan reports to find and whitelist these items.

    VIPRE is very easy to use and administer. You have a lot of functionality from the server on what you can do with the clients. It has proved useful when I can't access a client any other way. I can reboot the computer from the server and then usually get back into that machine.

    Microsoft support is one of the highest rated on the market. It has global and multilingual support. Calls can be made over the phone and the solution is virtually instantaneous with the help of Microsoft engineers. It's great!

    VIPRE support is usually pretty quick. Sometimes you have to get a lot of information to send back so they can see the issue. This has not been too bad and I understand why it's needed. VIPRE also has a free rescue tool that is very useful and easy to use. There have been others but VIPRE seems to keep theirs updated. It's my go-to even outside of work.

    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.

    We got a chance to buy AVG Business edition and we tried to install that throughout our organization and most specifically to our important systems but it was not compatible with a majority of them and we found AVG as high-demand software with a mediocre speed of action and more pricing. So in comparison to AVG, VIPRE is good in all aspects.

    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.

    • The VIPRE MSP program cost effectively lets me integrate protection into every endpoint I protect.
    • Integration with ConnectWise for deployment and billing has increased our revenue.
    • Integration with ConnectWise for management means we keep endpoint protection coverage consistently above 99% to secure our clients.
