The Problem

The consumption billing black hole

The consumption billing black hole

Microsoft Sentinel charges by volume. High-volume sources like Windows Event Logs and network telemetry quickly consume commitment tiers. You are often forced to filter blindly or accept spiraling costs. Optimize your data flows to focus your budget on high-value security signal at any scale.

Optimize Sentinel with intelligent routing

Tenzir filters, aggregates, and normalizes data before Log Analytics ingest. Route high-value events to Sentinel, archive bulk data to Azure Blob, and maintain full visibility at a fraction of the cost.
Pre-ingest optimization

Refine your telemetry by filtering Windows noise and aggregating events at the source. Slash billable ingest by 65% while focusing Sentinel resources on high-fidelity alerts.

Why Tenzir optimizes Microsoft security

Direct ingestion (Microsoft data connectors)

Most SIEMs have limited validation. Bad data gets indexed, consuming license and corrupting analytics. You find out during an investigation, when a rule should have fired but didn't.

Full volume hits Log Analytics
Commitment tiers hard to predict
Expensive long-term retention

Tenzir intercepts data before Log Analytics, letting you optimize costs while keeping security-critical events in Sentinel for real-time detection. Your commitment tier becomes predictable.

Reduce billable ingest by up to 65%
Predictable Sentinel costs
Affordable long-term archives in Azure Blob
