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.

By Karthikeyan Devikumar on 1/21/2024

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.

By Anonymized User on 1/3/2024

This course I completed was incredibly comprehensive and engaging. The instructor's expertise and clear teaching style made complex concepts easy to grasp. The course structure and practical exercises Specifically the ChatGPT portion of it provides valuable real-world insights. Overall, it equipped me with practical skills and knowledge.

By Farrukh Zaheer on 1/1/2024

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
