We’ve been steadily building strong momentum with Microsoft over the past year, and the latest step forward is a significant one: Cribl solutions are now available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. But why this focus on Microsoft Azure? The answer lies in what customers are prioritizing and discussing with us. Azure’s popularity has surged in recent years, driven by the changing needs of organizations that seek scalable, reliable, and seamless telemetry data management and security operations solutions. Cribl’s products align with these priorities, ensuring that customers gain enhanced flexibility and control over their telemetry data and can optimize their data management strategy.

The SIEM Market Looking Ahead to 2025

The SIEM landscape is undergoing a significant evolution. For the first time in two decades, customers have the freedom to choose where their security data goes in the cloud. This shift is driven by the relentless growth of data volumes, compelling organizations to rethink their security infrastructure and overall data management strategy. As a result, many are opting for new solutions that help manage and extract value from their data more effectively. Microsoft Sentinel has emerged as a popular choice, offering robust capabilities that align with customers’ goals of streamlining data operations, enhancing their security posture, and optimizing SIEM migration efforts.

Why Organizations are Choosing Microsoft Sentinel

Organizations have shared with us, anecdotally, that their move to Microsoft Azure—and specifically Microsoft Sentinel—is driven by its reputation as a robust SIEM solution with an established track record, credibility, and reliable query language. For instance, during our webinar with Rolls-Royce, their team emphasized that when evaluating SIEM options, reliability and ease of use were top priorities, and Sentinel met these needs by being a solution that “just worked.”

This anecdotal evidence aligns with the findings from our Navigating the Data Current research report, which highlights Microsoft Sentinel’s growing maturity and increasing market share within the SIEM space (2000% year-over-year growth in Cribl.Cloud!). We believe that security practitioners are particularly drawn to solutions that offer both stability and flexibility. Sentinel’s ability to integrate with various endpoint agents and third-party tools means organizations can consolidate their disparate systems and achieve comprehensive visibility across their entire environment.

Think of Microsoft Sentinel as the top-tier Quarterback you’d draft in the first round of your fantasy football league. It is that reliable, top-tier player you choose to anchor your team around. But, with the flexibility of the Azure Marketplace, you can still pick up rising stars to round out your (integrations) off the waiver wire to enhance your lineup. This combination of reliability and adaptability is exactly what modern security teams are looking for to stay ahead in an ever-changing landscape.

The Path Forward

The industry is experiencing a clear shift. Customers are recognizing that their current approaches to data management and security operations are no longer sustainable. With rapidly expanding data volumes, tight budgets, and increasingly complex security needs, the demand for modern, scalable data management solutions is greater than ever. Organizations are seeking ways to streamline their SIEM migration processes and enhance their security posture to keep pace with evolving challenges.
