  • With a breadth of features present to facilitate faster triage and response, many of our clients were able to reduce the incidents by 35% over 6-7 months of usage.
  • With the provision of manipulating data in depth, many organizations have been able to get thought provoking misconfiguration in the cloud resources and rectified them in time.
  • With such a high number of OOTB playbook templated, many of the clients have been able reduce their MTTR (Mean Time To Respond) by a staggering 65% over the usage of 7-9 months.

  • 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.

  • We enhanced the depiction of threats, agreements, and solutions as well as the automation against security indices.
  • This solution, which is excellent for confirming breach attempts, replaced expensive hardware that had expensive maintenance contracts and did not give thorough information.

  • Microsoft Sentinel is a good investment, especially when sided with other solutions such as Microsoft 365 Defender, as it provides 360° protection on every level of the infrastructure.
  • When deployed on infrastructures that have never had an SIEM, Microsoft Sentinel helps to assess vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
  • As with any other SIEM, Microsoft Sentinel basically eliminates the need to put effort into every single platform (like EDR, NDR, XDR) and converge that effort on a single product that correlates and orchestrates the rest.

  • I think it had a positive impact because as we said before, it is very quick at seeing threat vectors coming in. It definitely helps with people that are sitting there watching to be able to quickly see that we got a notification or something's going on and they're able to act upon it, do the investigation fairly quickly.
  • The only negative thing about it is the fact that sometimes you have to pay for some additional training from Microsoft because there are some little small intricacies that you might not figure out and might not be able to find on a YouTube or Google rule that only a Microsoft person who was working with the tool and got trained by Microsoft was able to tell you about to make your job a little bit easier.

  • I can say it's one of the leading SaaS where the time to implementation is very fast. Within a few days I did start seeing the return on investment. So that's the one good thing I see about the Sentinel.

  • Positive is we have a lot of insights or Microsoft 365 in general, like the admin center, defender, compliance, everything gets fed to Sentinel, so it's awesome. That's a very positive thing.

  • I'd say that Sentinel gives us a lot more vision about our stuff. For the business impact, it's really hard to tell because we're an entertainment shop. In fact, it costs us money to get it to run, but it gave us a pre-value. But yeah, it's hard to correlate it with the business impact.
