Concentric AI vs Sentra

Check differences in scope, deployment and cost. Use the evaluation questions to resolve what the sources leave open.

Read each action with its limits. General capability and environment marks do not establish a specific workflow. Unconfirmed means support was not established in our research.

Capabilities, coverage, deployment, pricing and evaluation questions for Concentric AI and Sentra
CompareConcentric AIUpdated SentraUpdated
ApproachConcentric AI uses content context to classify data and identify excessive access. Its Microsoft 365 workflow connects discovery with permission and sharing remediation. [2]Sentra classifies cloud data, analyzes sharing permissions and alerts on suspicious data activity. Its scanning architecture allows both customer-owned and Sentra-owned scanner accounts. [1] [2]

Microsoft 365● Full

SharePoint and OneDrive discovery, access analysis and sharing-risk remediation are documented. [2]

? Unconfirmed
AWS● Full

The data-source catalog lists S3, RDS, Aurora, Redshift and FSx. Verify scan and remediation depth per connector. [1]

◐ Partial

S3, DynamoDB and Bedrock data are named. Validate the complete AWS service list and each scan mode. [1]

Google Cloud◐ Partial

BigQuery, Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage connectors are listed. [1]

? Unconfirmed
Snowflake / Databricks● Full

Snowflake and Databricks appear in the data-source catalog. [1]

? Unconfirmed
On-prem shares◐ Partial

Windows file systems, NetApp and Dell EMC are listed. Confirm share protocols and collection requirements. [1]

◐ Partial

File shares are included in the AWS product description. Protocol and appliance support require confirmation. [1]

SaaS apps◐ Partial

The catalog lists Box, Dropbox, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack and Confluence. [1]

◐ Partial

Deployment and data handlingNot established in the reviewed sources.

Sentra documents cloud-native API connections and scanners typically placed in the customer cloud with read-only permissions. [2]

Account ownership
Both Sentra-owned and customer-owned scanner accounts are supported.
Data location
The trust page states analysis stays in the region where data was discovered. Confirm the selected deployment.
Pricing

Pricing was not established in the reviewed sources.

Test in the evaluation
  1. Use your own business documents to test classification without preassigned labels.
  2. Show an access-remediation workflow and its approval and rollback controls.
  3. Separate native actions from enforcement through Microsoft Purview or another product.
  1. Specify which account owns every scanner and where extracted samples and metadata are retained.
  2. Compare full and sampled scans on the same store and disclose skipped data.
  3. Demonstrate an exfiltration alert and the action an operator can take from it.

Full refers to the documented scope above. It does not establish every control in every store. How coverage is assessed. Turn a coverage claim into an evaluation test.
