Is there a minimum cost for Sentinel?

Copper Contributor

Hello, I'd like to use Sentinel in a SMB environment.

 

We should process about 5-10 GB of data every month: using the pay-as-you-go tier, the cost should be very low, assuming a 5$ per GB. 

 

I was wondering if Sentinel has a minimum price to pay, when the logs volume is very low.

 

Thanks in advance.

PAYG is based on the GB consumed (actually its calculated in bytes), so you pay for what you use. However if you extend the data retention beyond 3 months, or enable UEBA or use a Playbooks/Logic App or use Notebooks - then there are other costs (I may not have listed them all!).

@Clive_Watson Thanks for your answer!

A 90 days retention period will be enough and I don't think we are going to use UEBA, at least for now.

 

You can go to the Microsoft Sentinel pricing page (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/microsoft-sentinel/?OCID=AID2200277_SEM_2298c68f60...) to see the pricing. Note that there are also some free data sources
How come you don't want to use UEBA? it provides some nice enhancements
