What differentiates Microsoft Sentinel from other similar products?

Its the next generation of cloud-native SIEM that is highly scalable and protects you from a wide range of threats on a near real-time basis resulting in fewer security breaches. Detailed analysis reports post-threat identification further safeguards you from avoiding similar security threats

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Microsoft Azure Sentinel offers the best enterprise-level security information event management tool compared to legacy SIEM providers as it analyses and prevents threats in near real-time. It is easy to scale it to a larger workforce with minimal security infrastructure setup and maintenance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Apart from being a bit costly, I would like to see improved and easy integration with third-party solutions. Network detection and response (NDR) is currently far behind compared to some of the leading SIEM providers

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The product is full of features as a security information event management tool and has one of the best efficiencies in threats mitigation, but pricing can be a barrier. If cost is not an option, go for it.
