The content is good. Sometimes the pacing of the demonstrations and speech patterns of the presenter makes it difficult to follow along

Excelente curso para iniciarse en Microsoft Sentinel, las demos son muy sencillas y la información muy clara. Excelente curso.
By Juan Rivera on 8/2/2024
The audio fluctuates a lot. The material was good and the chatgpt portion alone was worth the price, however, there is no actual setup in this course. You still have to figure out how it all works and in what type of scenario. I do like that there are other courses available, but the title is a little misleading. This should be labeled as part of a larger series as part 1 in my opinion.

It is great course for beginners. Pavel has covered all the topics comprehensively. This course will give you a complete overview of the Microsoft Sentinel and its capabilities. KQL is briefly covered, I feel it should be covered more. Other then that everything fine.

Lab activities and playbooks need to be updated. Few items got changed by Microsoft and those changes need to be reflected. its mentioned in one of my questions for Item 62: Demo Lab playbook designer where Microsoft changed Alert automation classic to create an alert rule
