Microsoft Sentinel vs Exabeam

Exabeam and Microsoft Sentinel are both enterprise siem solutions. Exabeam behavioral analytics SIEM with automated investigation and response, while Microsoft Sentinel cloud-native Azure SIEM with AI-powered detection and automated response. The best choice depends on your organization's size, technical requirements, and budget.

Choose Exabeam if industry-leading behavioral analytics (UEBA) is your priority and security teams focused on insider threat detection and automated investigation with behavioral analytics. Choose Microsoft Sentinel if deep native integration with Microsoft ecosystem matters most and microsoft-centric organizations wanting a cloud-native SIEM with deep M365 and Azure integration.

Exabeam starts at Custom enterprise pricing (subscription-based) (per-user or per-gb subscription). Microsoft Sentinel starts at From $2.46/GB ingested (pay-as-you-go) / Commitment tiers available (per-gb ingested (with commitment tier discounts)). As always, the sticker price only tells part of the story. Factor in add-ons, implementation costs, and what's actually included at each tier.

It depends on how deeply Microsoft Sentinel is embedded in your stack. Most teams run both in parallel for a few weeks before cutting over. Check whether Exabeam supports importing your existing configs or policies. That's usually the biggest time sink.
