Product Information on Microsoft Sentinel

Updated 14th October 2025

What is Microsoft Sentinel?

Microsoft Sentinel is a security information and event management software designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to potential threats across their digital environments. The software aggregates and analyzes data from various sources such as users, applications, servers, and devices, both on-premises and in the cloud. It utilizes artificial intelligence to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate security risks. Microsoft Sentinel provides capabilities for automated incident response, threat intelligence enrichment, and customizable dashboards for monitoring and reporting. The software aims to streamline security operations, reduce the time to investigate incidents, and support compliance with various regulatory requirements by offering integrated management and analytics tools for safeguarding enterprise assets.

Microsoft Sentinel Pricing

Microsoft Sentinel is a software that follows a usage-based pricing model, where charges are determined by the volume of data ingested for analysis and log retention, with additional costs for automation and incident response features. The software provides options for flexible data retention periods and allows organizations to select and pay for capabilities according to their intake and operational requirements.

Microsoft Sentinel Likes & Dislikes

KQL is awesome to work with, and easy to pick up and start working with. There are always other things you can really dive into to improve your skills, like functions or setting up ASIM tables to format your data. The transformations on a data collection rule make it very easy to bring in just the data that you need, even if you do pay a bit for some transformation if you are dropping a lot of data.

Dislike

What I dont like at all is the thir-party integration, the associated costs when integrating new sources, and keeping in mind that every GB used must be included in the budget. On the other hand, theres the issue of queries, for which you must have knowledge of KQL

    Automation With Logic Apps Shines, But GUI Features Remain Limited In Sentinel

    Nov 28, 2025
    Sentinel is by far my favorite SIEM. We migrated away from another vendor and have been all in on Sentinel for about 2 years now. Being able to use Logic apps for automation is great and I just find KQL to be far more intuitive than dealing with SPL, which is likely because the same skills can be used on other various logs in Azure for Diagnostics.
