    Scenarios most suited - 1) All the Cyber Security focused development environments 2) Definitely a must for Financial Clients since it deals with live money transactions - Hence it is imperative to keep the Network and tech asset environment secure, and compliant to standards 3) IAM is another area where it plays an IMP part - For eg one of our healthcare clients where they wanted to restrict access 4) Dashboards are also great, we can share the results to GISO/CISO level folks - Custom dashboard feature

    Microsoft Sentinel excels in centralized monitoring, AI-driven threat detection, and automation, but improvements in cost transparency, user experience, third-party integrations, and support for emerging technologies could make it even more effective. Addressing these areas would enhance its appeal for small-to-medium businesses, large enterprises, and organizations with complex or specialized IT environments.

    • 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.

    Cons
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • There is not a comprehensive amount of documentation on how to set up best practices.
    • Our initial set up assistance from Proofpoint approved vendor did not go smoothly.
    • The ability to add more customized widgets in the main overview screen would be helpful.

    • 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.

    The Microsoft Azure Sentinel solution is very good and even better if you use Azure. It's easy to implement and learn how to use the tool with an intuitive and simple interface. New updates are happening to always bring new news and improve the experience and usability. The solution brings reliability as it is from a very reliable manufacturer.

    First and foremost reason of our client selecting CheckPoint CloudGuard Posture Management / Dome9 was because they already had CheckPoint Firewalls which are in active use e.g. R75.40 and R82.x products. Customization Vs these other Vendors is another great asset Reporting is one more standout feature, + Multi-cloud capabilities Centralized dashboarding is smooth to navigate as compared to other Vendors Syslog handling is much better as compared to some other vendors , Memory and space issues if planned well are less

    We decided to go with Microsoft Sentinel because it works really well with Microsoft tools we are already using. Microsoft Sentinel's intelligent features detect and resolve problems more quickly than Sumo Logic. It also allows us to pay for what we use and grow as we need. While Sumo Logic is good at analyzing data, Microsoft Sentinel fits our needs.

    Return on Investment
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • For production environments it is worth the investment.
    • Getting to know how many assets you have helps with cost savings.

    • As any cybersecurity product, this has to be more with risk to avoid loss in case of a ransomware that more than relate to a productivity increase. Maybe the impact could be that instead of having people that are checking 24/7 the dashboard, you could implement Sentinel and have less people checking that or people with less expertise. So the saving will be a minor but will be a saving in the cost of your team.
