Verified User Director Chose Microsoft Sentinel Well before there was Microsoft Sentinel, you had other competing products like ArcSight or Splunk, et cetera.

Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Microsoft Sentinel Elastic seems to have a much better interface for log search and is able to filter out noise. Microsoft Sentinel also appears to generate a lot of false positives. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Microsoft Sentinel Prior to using Sentinel, we were using Splunk specifically Splunk Enterprise Security and Splunk Cloud, so their on-prem and their cloud-based products. We switched originally for cost reasons, specifically cost control, but I have found that the ability to create reports, the … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Microsoft Sentinel
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft 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.

Pros	Microsoft 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft 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.

Usability	Microsoft 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.

Support Rating	Microsoft Azure Sentinel is very easy to use and configure. If you are stuck somewhere, Microsoft support is excellent in assisting and solving your issue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft 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. IS Ian Stuebe Project Manager Read full review
Professional Services	Microsoft Did not use professional services Incentivized MB Michael Bobo IT Director Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
