Cloud SIEM: Microsoft Sentinel vs Splunk

· Blog

SIEM is the central component of a mature security system. It collects events from all sources and correlates them to detect threats. Two leaders: Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk Cloud.

Microsoft Sentinel

Cloud-native SIEM on Azure Log Analytics. Free M365 and Azure log ingestion, 200+ connectors, AI analytics, Defender XDR integration. Priced per GB ingested.

Splunk Cloud

20+ years of development. Powerful SPL query language, vast Splunkbase ecosystem, vendor-agnostic. Priced per GB or workload-based.

How SL Global Service solves this

SGS deploys Sentinel for Microsoft environments, Splunk for multi-vendor. Also managed SOC: analysts monitor alerts 24/7 and respond to incidents.

“A SIEM without a qualified analyst team is just an expensive log collector. Invest in people as much as in technology.”

Anton Marrero, member of the Supervisory Board, Intecracy Group

SIEM choice is for years. Start with a 30-day trial of both platforms.
