Compared to platforms such as Splunk, LogRhythm, and Devo, Microsoft Sentinel’s cloud‑native, consumption‑based pricing model and reduced infrastructure overhead tend to offer better overall cost efficiency. This is especially true for organizations already invested in the …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
These are all the Microsoft products. We have used Splunk. And again, I would say Microsoft Sentinel stacks up because it's a native tool that is more like an ecosystem. It's not a standalone tool. It's like if you're in the Microsoft stack, Microsoft Sentinel will stack up …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel gave us the opportunity to move to pay as you go model. This allows us to determine the value of a log source rather than paying a flat rate for data ingested or hosting a server ourself.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Most of our landscape, both on prem and cloude, is based in Microsoft technologies, while the unification of tools implies some risk, decreasing the vendor levels simplify integrations, and by scale, help us to reduce costs too. Yes, the tool itself is a good contender, but the …

They are for different use cases, field effect helps us monitor network traffic and decide what to do with it while Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence allows more robust monitoring and control over 365 variables such as emails that come in and out and Entra ID information.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel feels on another different level from these solutions , all in the cloud . No need for troubleshooting , deployment or upgrades. Constant updates from the vendor and good support
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel excels in cloud-native scalability, Microsoft ecosystem integration, and AI-driven threat detection with UEBA and Fusion rules, offering faster deployment and lower costs (48% cheaper per Forrester) than Splunk, QRadar, Exabeam, SentinelOne, Securonix, and …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
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. …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Well, primarily we use different stuff like CrowdStrike. We use different sign-on features. We primarily use those different products because we support a wider ecosystem.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Splunk, Google, SecOps. I look at how it stacks up based on the fact that it's the primary solution that we sell. So I think it stacks up really well. Why do we select it? Well, we selected it primarily because we're a very large Microsoft partner. The technology is very good …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Well before there was Microsoft Sentinel, you had other competing products like ArcSight or Splunk, et cetera. I think they have their own qualities, but the Microsoft integration story is really why we're using it.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
In my opinion, Microsoft Sentinel is much more reliable and Trustworthy. They are a bigger name with bigger scope of use.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We use intune to protect endpoints and we pull logs from all the endpoints through the intune connector into the Microsoft Sentinel SIEM and that way we can run rules on those logs to find anomalies.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
it is easy to use Microsoft Sentinel and has faster deployment and advanced artificial intelligence than splunk
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.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Elastic is some carbon for various use cases. So because Elastic is a very, very wrong history in the market. So Sentinel is very recent for products from my understanding.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Well, we didn't select, we selected Sentinel for our Azure stuff, our Microsoft stuff, but we do use a different SIEM for the other stuff still.
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 …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We've used Splunk before, but it really is just pick your poison. They're all very similar.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Based on the overall infrastructure configuration that we have and also after analysing various solutions provided by Microsoft Sentinel, we came to a conclusion that the Microsoft Sentinel is the best option for us to help us in overall threat detection on our custom servers, …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Sentinel AI makes it a better choice. Also, its flexibility and customization make it a bit more costly than other competitors.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
I use most of the Sims that are out there, but RSAs, old Sim Log, logic, elastic, a lot of them. Sumo, we checked out Sumo too. We're a Microsoft shop and live almost entirely on top of a Microsoft ecosystem. We are considering other Microsoft security products to integrate …

The SecureWorks product is a more mature product. We prefer the SecureWorks product over Microsoft Sentinel at this point.

Likelihood to Recommend
It's certainly well-suited in environments that rely heavily on Microsoft products, and it's well-suited for environments where you have other business drivers to go to the E5 license. If I were to say where I would not and why, I only gave it a seven on the recommendation, that answer would probably vary if you already owned E5 or not. It's extremely expensive. And if there are other alternatives, if you don't have any other driving reason to go to E5, I would coach you not to go to Microsoft Sentinel. But if you're there, it's a fantastic property. It's certainly part of the cost argument for moving to E5, but it's only a part. It can't by itself justify the move to E5.

Managing incident response - it does exactly what it is supposed to do!

Pros
  • It's mainly the data correlation. For example, in the Microsoft ecosystem, Microsoft Entra ID is a primary component of the authentication and authorization mechanism. So whenever you're using tools like Microsoft Intune, Defender for Endpoint, Entra ID is the key signal, right? So Microsoft Sentinel correlates the logs from all these devices and services very well, so I can see a very detailed attack shape to figure out what's going on.

Cons
  • 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.

Return on Investment
  • It's probably neutral. We see value, but it's, again, tick that kind of expense stuff. We're getting more insight and value into what is going on in that cloud workspace, but just noting the cost. So it's probably neutral. I'm not directly responsible, so the full kind of return on investment kind of cycle, that's someone else's problem. I'm like the end user. It's my team that will look at the data and look at the output of Microsoft Sentinel. So the ROI, someone else can worry about that.
