It is a great product that integrates nicely when running an Azure platform and even multi-cloud environment. Not looking for point-solutions but a suite that answers most requirements. It is very comfortable being able to use KQL, workbooks and automation that is native to the azure platform

It's very easy to use, also non-technical users can understand the information to use for search and results, initial configuration is less easy to configure but just a little.
