What do you like best about Microsoft Sentinel?

All option and log analytics are handy in single view! Well microsoft is really working on UI specially incident dashboard, new incident view section is better we can see alerts, incident timeline and previous related incident in single window which is good.

There are too much data connector in content hub which is amazing and makes our life easy to integrate new log source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Sentinel?

Bug fixes and funtionality issue.

Recently the data connector were not visible in data connector page and we faced lot of problem in health checks.

Microsoft should build an alternate workbook to monitor all data connectors manually.

Speed issue: data query speed is low microsoft should work on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Sentinel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft sentinel is providing saas bases SIEM platform with tons of log integration option which solves the gap between onprem and cloud infra log centralization issue. So that we can not miss any security incident

We can easily setup whole SOC service within few clicks and all thanks to content hub with lots of data connector options which comes with analytic rules & workbooks.

It helps us to onboard new client fast in our mssp environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of integration with any 3rd party software solution and native support for all microsoft suite products is what makes it a SIEM leader in Gartner Magic quadrant. The one click deployment of MMA agents to your azure hosted VMs and on-prem workloads (using azure arc) makes it really scalable and easy to manage. The out of the box integration with almost all type of applications are an added advantage. The extensive library of detection/automation rules prepared by Microsoft security research team and community supported content makes it a very rich SIEM product in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
