Microsoft Sentinel vs Securiti
Securiti
Cybersecurity
Data and AI security posture management with privacy operations on a single data catalogue
- From
- On request
- Rated
- -
The short version
- Only Microsoft Sentinel has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Microsoft Sentinel billing is driven by the volume of log data ingested per day, so cost scales with log noise rather than with users or protected assets; Securiti value depends entirely on connector coverage and completed scanning, so the first useful data map commonly takes months and stalls whenever a data owner will not grant access to a system.
- They diverge on capability: Microsoft Sentinel covers AI-powered analytics, Securiti covers Sensitive data discovery.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Microsoft Sentinel
- Cloud-based security information and event management (SIEM)not Securiti
- Extended detection and response (XDR) across enterprise infrastructurenot Securiti

Securiti

- A privacy team automating deletion requests across dozens of systems where the hard part is knowing where a person appears at allnot Microsoft Sentinel
- A security team that needs to find sensitive data sitting in over-permissive cloud buckets and warehouse tables before an auditor doesnot Microsoft Sentinel
- A company putting internal data into retrieval-augmented AI applications and needing to prove that regulated fields are not reaching the modelnot Microsoft Sentinel
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Microsoft Sentinel
- Billing is driven by the volume of log data ingested per day, so cost scales with log noise rather than with users or protected assets
- Commitment tier discounts require reserving daily ingestion capacity in advance, and a tier cannot be downgraded until 31 days have passed
- Commitment tiers start at 100 GB per day, above what smaller estates ingest
- Charges for Log Analytics, Logic Apps and Machine Learning are billed separately on top of Sentinel itself
- The free allowance is only up to 5 MB per user per day for selected Microsoft 365 security logs
- Promotional commitment pricing is time limited and locks in only until a stated end date
Securiti
- Value depends entirely on connector coverage and completed scanning, so the first useful data map commonly takes months and stalls whenever a data owner will not grant access to a system.
- Usage-based pricing tied to data volume means costs rise as the estate grows rather than as the security programme matures, and organisations with large but low-risk data lakes pay for scanning they do not need.
- The breadth across DSPM, privacy and AI governance means each individual module is competing with a specialist, and buyers who only need one of the three often find a focused tool does that job better for less.
- Classification accuracy on unstructured and free-text data requires tuning, and untuned deployments generate false positives that erode trust in the catalogue precisely when teams are being asked to act on it.
- Pricing is unpublished and modular, so scoping is difficult without a sales engagement and the eventual cost depends on module choices that are hard to evaluate before you have seen your own data map.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Microsoft Sentinel: How is Microsoft Sentinel pricing calculated?
Microsoft Sentinel uses a pay-as-you-go usage-based model where you pay only for data ingested, stored, and consumed. Flexible commitment tiers are available to reduce total cost of ownership, with specific rates not published on the public pricing page. Source: https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/siem-and-xdr/microsoft-sentinel/
SourceSecuriti: Is Securiti a DSPM tool or a privacy tool?
Both, deliberately. It runs data security posture management and privacy operations off one discovery catalogue, which is its main argument against buying two products.
Microsoft Sentinel: Does Microsoft Sentinel require an Azure subscription?
Yes, Microsoft Sentinel requires a Microsoft Azure subscription to operate. Pricing is handled through Azure and varies based on data consumption and the commitment tier you select. Source: https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/siem-and-xdr/microsoft-sentinel/
SourceSecuriti: What does it cost?
Not published. Pricing is modular and usage based, quoted by data volume and selected modules, and it is also available through the AWS marketplace.
Securiti: How long until it is useful?
Expect months, not weeks. The limiting factor is configuring connectors and getting access approvals to the systems you most want scanned.
Securiti: Does it govern AI use?
Yes, it includes controls over data flowing into models and retrieval pipelines, which is increasingly the reason enterprises shortlist it.
