Kibana integrates seamlessly with Elastic Search which gives us access to parse and analyze data generated from our systems in order to make decisions. Also, Kibana helps us create insightful reports and dashboards that give us insights into the end-users usage on the system and helps us find the root cause of issues as well.

Azure Sentinel is an excellent option like SIEM. It has cool, smart features and functionality, and is quite powerful in terms of processing information in the cloud. I recommend it to colleagues because it is very easy to deploy and configure, and learn to use it on a daily basis. The panel is super intuitive and rich in details. When opening Sentinel, it is already possible to analyze the indices that happened and those that deserve further attention and treatment.

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.

We did not use the official Kibana support. Documentation was easy enough to follow.

Kibana has a better usability experience, the core features I was using existed in all of them. I liked more in Kibana how you can easily create dashboards, charts, and reports without the need to be a tech person.
