Microsoft Sentinel estate: ranking
A detection team already running Microsoft Sentinel that writes KQL analytics rules and wants a repository workflow, tests and proof that rules run.
How this ranking is weighted
Only products whose pages name Sentinel or KQL as a target are kept: Sentinel itself, Anvilogic (deploys to Azure Sentinel, vendor claim), Detecteam (lists Microsoft Sentinel as a target, vendor claim) and Sigma and pySigma (a Kusto backend with status Stable). Weights favour git and CI (22), rule health (20) and testing (18), because the buyer already has a SIEM and wants it run like code. On those weights the result is Microsoft Sentinel 7.90, Anvilogic 5.46, Detecteam 5.30, Sigma and pySigma 5.21. Sentinel leads by construction and by 2.4 points. Anvilogic, Detecteam and Sigma sit within 0.25 of each other, so they are a band and the order inside it is not a ranking. Treat the three as add-ons to test, not replacements for Sentinel's own repository connection. The scores are the same eight criterion scores as the main rubric; only the weights change.
