Pick based on which identity stack you already run and whether you have anyone to actually tune detections. ([why identity/SaaS logs dominate here](https://jumpcloud.com/it-index/common-log-sources-for-siem))\n\n## What I'd actually recommend, in order\n\n**1. Microsoft Sentinel** - if you're a Microsoft 365 / Entra ID shop, this is the default and it's not close. M365, Entra, and Defender logs ingest free, which kills the single biggest cost driver for a remote org (your highest-volume sources are exactly those). Built-in SOAR playbooks via Logic Apps mean you can auto-disable a compromised account without a human awake. Downside: Azure-flavored complexity, and non-Microsoft sources cost real money per GB (~$2.46-$5.20/GB ingested).
