Your real telemetry is identity (Okta/Entra/Google Workspace), endpoints (laptops on home Wi-Fi), and SaaS/cloud audit logs. So the ranking below favors tools that ingest those cleanly and don't assume on-prem network taps.\n\n**1. Microsoft Sentinel** - my default recommendation if you're on Microsoft 365/Entra. M365 and Defender logs ingest free, which for a remote team is exactly the data you care about, and it's the cheapest path to covering sign-ins, conditional access failures, and endpoint alerts. Roughly $2.46-$5.20/GB ingested plus Azure storage/query costs. Currently rated the top SIEM overall in 2026 roundups.

Blumira** - the pick if you have no dedicated security staff, which describes most remote-first companies under ~200 people. Deploys in hours, ships with managed detection rules and real humans on support, and came in at under half the cost of Arctic Wolf in a head-to-head a buyer publis", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
