Microsoft Sentinel—AI-Ready Platform | Microsoft Security
October 8, 2025 - Discover Microsoft Sentinel, an AI-ready cloud SIEM platform that unifies data, automates threat response, and gives insights with a cost-effective data lake.
Enterprise SIEM or SOAR Solution integrated with Microsoft Defender
Consider Microsoft Sentinel's pricing model - you pay for data ingestion, not endpoints. For small orgs, look into 'Microsoft Sentinel Essentials' or explore third-party SIEMs like Splunk Cloud, Elastic Cloud, or LogRhythm, which offer flexible pricing. Also, check out Cortex XSIAM or CrowdStrike Falcon, integrating XDR capabilities More on reddit.com
Microsoft Sentinel cost estimate?
Talk with sales and see if they can get you a trial period so you can measure your ingest. There is a pay as you go option and it’s best if you are under like 70gb iirc. More on reddit.com
Anyone else feel like Microsoft doesn’t want you to use Sentinel?
Yes, that is the experience with using Microsoft Sentinel. Their licensing and pricing models relative to other plans available makes it nearly impossible to do any kind of reasonable forecasting or planning. "Confusing as hell" is feedback we gave directly to our MS account rep. More on reddit.com
Company SIEM vs 3rd party SOC (Second Part)
Wazuh can serve as a good free baseline, but it can be a bit hard to implement more advanced logic rules such as Sigma. If you do go with Wazuh, definitely install Sysmon on the Microsoft endpoints and use the built in Microsoft Integration in Wazuh. The other drawback of using Wazuh is that it is lacking SOAR and Case Management. They did release a great article on implementing said features using DFIR-IRIS. i believe Security Onion has all of these features built in, but I have not used it myself. More on reddit.com
