Azure Sentinel soars above other SIEMs!!!

What differentiates Microsoft Sentinel from other similar products?

Unlike similar products, Azure Sentinel essentially is a central place to analyze your security data, across all parts of your environment. With Sentinel you can consume security related data from almost any source – not just sources inside your Microsoft tenant. Some of its most advanced features include: Ingesting security data from multi-cloud and on-premise environments Analyzing large data volumes Alert triage Log management and storage Threat hunting

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Azure Sentinel integrates with many other Azure services providing enhanced capabilities for Security Information and Event Management and Security Orchestration and Automation and Response. Also once Azure Sentinel is enabled on your Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace, every GB of data ingested into the workspace can be retained at no charge for the first 90 days.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Currently there is no trigger in the Azure Sentinel connector when a new Azure Sentinel incident is created. It would be good to have it. This way we could integrate and automate with the other Microsoft security products (MCAS, WDATP, Azure ATP, etc.) and also with an ITSM tool like Service Now. The idea is to have a playbook run automatically whenever a new incident is created in Sentinel to: - create an incident in Service Now - send an email notification

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you think about trying this product, it is very simple to unable it on your environment. All you need is the following: An active Azure subscription. A Log Analytics workspace. Contributor or reader permission turned on in the resource group that the workspace belongs to. Once you have that, you can browse to Sentinel within the Azure portal to deploy – then you are ready to begin adding your data connectors.
