Microsoft Sentinel has given us great visibility into our cloud workloads and cloud environment as a whole. It is a cloud-based solution, so there are backend cloud computing costs, but they are negligible." Overall, a standalone on-prem solution would require some high-end servers, and there's a different cost. "The price is reasonable because Sentinel includes features like user behavior analytics and SOAR that are typically sold separately.The transaction hosting cost is also a little bit on the high side, compared to AWS and GCP." Some organizations may not be able to afford the cost of Sentinel orchestration and the Log Analytics workspace.

Cost-wise, they're saving a lot and that is a major advantage." The first advantage is that the log or security-event ingestion into Sentinel is free.

"From a cost perspective, Microsoft Sentinel is quite costly.".Microsoft Sentinel was previously known as Azure Sentinel. To learn more about our solution, ask questions, and share feedback, join our Microsoft Security, Compliance and Identity Community.
