Watch out No residency control — assess against your regulatory position first
Microsoft Sentinel
- +No infrastructure to size, patch or scale — fully managed by Microsoft
- +Excellent native coverage of Entra ID, Microsoft 365 and Azure workloads
- +Large library of prebuilt analytics rules and workbooks
- −Azure only — data residency is limited to available Azure regions

Best for Azure-committed organisations without residency constraints
Watch out Per-GB cost at scale surprises most teams; run a realistic volume forecast first
