Cyberse perspective

Summary by Cyberse

Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.


Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:

We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:

Cost considerations

Elastic SIEM starts at roughly $95 per month and includes most integrations. Because pricing scales with data ingest, organisations handling high log volumes will see costs climb quickly. Public information lacks independent ROI data, so long-term savings compared with peers remain unproven.

Functionality

Elastic SIEM supplies ready-made detection rules and embedded case management to cover common response tasks. More advanced automation requires connecting to third-party SOAR tools such as Tines, and there is no native drag-and-drop playbook designer, so functional depth trails leading automation suites

Compatibility

Elastic SIEM offers 300-plus maintained integrations and open REST APIs that connect natively to ServiceNow, Jira, Slack, Teams and other common systems. Mainstream SIEM, EDR and ticketing tools plug in through simple configuration rather than custom code. Some niche or legacy products still need light scripting, so compatibility falls just short of fully universal.

User experience

Kibana gives visual dashboards, yet industry comparisons say Elastic is less intuitive than rivals and needs extra setup time. Community feedback highlights a steep learning curve, with some users spending hundreds of hours tuning before feeling productive. Documentation helps, but the initial complexity means analysts typically need training before they work smoothly.

Customer support

Elastic offers 24 × 7 assistance with a one-hour first-response for critical issues on paid tiers and maintains extensive online guides and forums. These elements match the rubric’s “fast regional support” and “< 4-hour SLA” standards. Public information does not show sub-30-minute responses or proactive playbook checks, so the rating stops short of 5.
