What differentiates Microsoft Sentinel from other similar products?
Microsoft Azure, being one of the leading providers of cloud computing and services, it is essential to conduct thorough security assessments to ensure the utmost protection and compliance for Azure deployments. To address this need, Microsoft Sentinel emerges as a seamless integration tool for organizations leveraging Azure cloud services. Microsoft Sentinel offers a comprehensive and unified approach to security monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. By utilizing this tool, businesses can benefit from enhanced visibility into their Azure environment, proactive threat detection, and efficient incident response capabilities.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Sentinel is the central eye to monitor the whole enterprise. Security professionals can watch the environment from a single console. Other SIEM tools are not so much emerged as compared to Sentinel. The best thing about Sentinel is its cloud service. The infrastructure overhead has vanished from IT operations. We can configure N number of alerts of different types such as hunters/Incidents/Threat Intelligence. The incident number generated by Sentinel helps us to track the alert effectively. Also, we can span this to our traditional data center. We are using pre-built connectors to link other providers as well.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Microsoft should work more deeply in the auto-remediation of selected alerts chosen by the Security person. Secondly, the user interface doesn't work properly if you are using a normal pixel's monitor. You have to get a big size monitor to see all details which is not an ideal case. Many times, I faced hung user interface issues too.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The product is good enough to monitor the security incidents & creating custom hunter rules. If organization is not financially ready to purchase 3rd party security management product, Azure Sentinel is very good choice. The incident number generated by Sentinel helps us to track the alert effectively. Also, we can span this to our traditional data center. We are using pre-built connectors to link other providers as well.

Microsoft Sentinel helped my organisation comply with industry and regulatory standards, such as GDPR and PCI DSS
What do you dislike most about this product?
One thing i disliked about microsoft sentinel is that the organizations that are heavily based on microsoft infrastructure are benefitted from using Sentinel, and for those organizations that use other cloud platforms or on-premises systems may find it less useful in a long run.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Oh, Microsoft Sentinel was a beast when it came to security! It had all the bells and whistles we needed for threat detection and response. We could monitor everything from the cloud to on-premises systems, and it even played nice with third-party solutions. The real-time data correlation and cool visualizations gave us a clear picture of what was happening. Plus, it integrated smoothly with other Microsoft security tools, making our life easier. Trust me, if you want to level up your security game, Sentinel is the way to go.
