We are security system integrators. 

What is most valuable?

We have no complaints about the features or functionality.

What needs improvement?

Azure Sentinel, the Microsoft Azure product is, from what I understand, used for the Microsoft applications. I don't know if it works outside of the Microsoft Azure cloud.

I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud. That is one of the reasons one of the customers has multiple tools.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Azure Sentinel for approximately one year.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's free. It comes with a Microsoft subscription which the customer has, so they don't have to invest somewhere else. That'd be great if it was supporting other things.

What other advice do I have?

If it's a security integrator like us, quite often people push the client into buying different vendors' products and the client already has the tool in-house. Microsoft is one of those tools that most clients already have.

Many vendors, or integrators, that we know of, are not familiar with Microsoft Sentinel product classification security. So that's one thing I would encourage both potential customers, and users, to look into what suite of products do they have with existing Microsoft accounts that they have. 

Also, the integrators should be quite familiar with all the things that are available to their clients, so they don't have to invest tons of money in other tools.

Based on having no complaints, I would rate Azure Sentinel an eight out of ten.

Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
