## Reviews

### "Microsoft Sentinel is the SIEM you are looking for" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *31 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Threat management and incident response is very great, like UEBA integrates with the alert and provides in-depth knowledge on the incident.
> 
> **Cons**: The log ingestion from onprem, where the org itself have some different setup and it has to be updated or changed because of logs ingestion to sentinel
> 
> I have been working on sentinel for more than 2 years now, and i can say that sentinel is a top nocth siem tool and its features make it best. It integrates wioth defender xdr and provides enhanced threat visibility and vulnerability management.

### "Great cloud based SIEM Product" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 May 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really liked how we can create the different use cases on the Azure Sentinel and based on the use cases we can take further actions to prevent the threats. I really liked how Azure Sentinel can interact with different products such as Endpoint Product (MS Defender), Carbon Black, Firewalls, all these logs can be kept and gathered at one place in Azure Sentinel, where we can apply different use cases to take further actions.
> 
> **Cons**: Cost might be a factor; however, it secures overall environment, which makes that factor go away. And we can live easy and secure life.
> 
> Overall, Azure Sentinel is a great product, it really made the sense of keeping the security logs.

### "Security Monitoring well done by Microsoft" — 5.0/5

> **Leonardo** | *15 May 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Third-Party Integrations, Pre-configured Analytic Rules, Behavioral Analysis, Threat Hunting Rules, Workbooks (Visualization of Data),
> 
> **Cons**: Not easy to use out of the box, does need a little bit of practice and training to get some knowledge about Microsoft Sentinel, sometimes laggy and takes a bit of time loading log's results
> 
> I think Microsoft at least tries to make the user experience beginner friendly. Although they have to do some more work in order to make an end-user understand things. Some things within the portal as just not for beginners. I do recommend following Microsoft's SC-200 training or the Microsoft Sentinel Ninja crash course if you want to learn more about Sentinel. All-in-all, Microsoft Sentinel is a good addition to have with you are looking for a security operations center which interconnects with multiple solutions to gather logs from multiple solutions to one solution and make them easy to view.

> 
> **Cons**: sebbene siano presenti template con le regole in base ai connettori che si vanno a configurare, in prima battuta può risultare complesso creare query con il linguaggo kql
