Choosing the Right SIEM for Real Security Outcomes

Securonix vs. Microsoft Sentinel

Microsoft Sentinel is tightly integrated with the Azure ecosystem. While this can benefit existing Microsoft customers, it also creates lock-in. More than a standalone SIEM, Sentinel often functions as a cloud upsell engine with complex pricing, limited flexibility, and mounting hidden costs. What seems cost-effective at first can quickly spiral into budget unpredictability.

Securonix takes a different approach. Our SIEM is purpose-built to strengthen your security posture—not inflate your cloud costs. With our open, cloud-agnostic architecture and Data Pipeline Manager (DPM) with Flex Consumption, we’re redefining SIEM economics by aligning cost to data value, not volume. You get advanced threat detection, UEBA, SOAR, and built-in content—all included—so your SOC gains the visibility, automation, and analyst-ready tools it needs without unpredictable data charges.

Where Microsoft Sentinel Falls Short

Not a standalone SIEM

tightly bound to Azure

Complex, multi-layered pricing

charges for ingestion, queries, storage, alerting, and more

Usage limits

alert rules, data ingestion, and threat intel are capped

“Free” isn’t free

E5 licenses only include 5MB/user/day for Microsoft logs

Steep learning curve

requires KQL and Azure expertise

Lacks true multi-cloud support

built for Defender-first environments

No native raw log retention

parsed events only; raw logs require separate export and

Fragmented UEBA

relies on Defender/Entra; lacks support for third-party identity tools

Lacks outcome-based economics

Ingestion incentives misalign with visibility and cost control
