The best thing about Sentinel is its cloud service. The infrastructure overhead has vanished from IT operations.

Microsoft should work more deeply in the auto-remediation of selected alerts chosen by the Security person. Secondly, the user interface doesn't work properly if you are using a normal pixel's monitor. You have to get a big size monitor to see all details which is not an ideal case. Many times, I faced hung user interface issues too.
