User Testimonials
	Cybereason Defense Platform	Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management
Likelihood to Recommend	LevelBlue I'd recommend Cybereason due to it's efficacy, low TCO, low false/positive rate. The product was easy to implement and maintain. One of the major advantages of using Cybereason is that it requires minimal training for level 1 users to use the tool. Incentivized Keith Barros Senior Director, Information Security Read full review	Microsoft Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management is particularly well-suited for discovering, inventorying, and continuously monitoring the external attack surface, especially in environments with heavy Microsoft adoption. It is less suitable as a standalone solution for internal scanning, real-time attack detection, automated remediation, or advanced application testing. Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management es especialmente adecuado para descubrir, inventariar y monitorear continuamente la superficie de ataque externa, sobre todo en entornos con fuerte adopción de Microsoft. Es menos adecuado como solución única para escaneo interno, detección de ataques en tiempo real, remediación automática o pruebas avanzadas de aplicaciones.

Usability	LevelBlue No answers on this topic	Microsoft We rate Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management’s overall usability as 10 out of 10 because it delivers a strong balance between depth of capability and ease of use, particularly within organizations already operating in the Microsoft security ecosystem. Incentivized SZ SARAI ZAMBRANO MORENO Process Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	LevelBlue Cybereason provides superior protection than either Microsoft or CrowdStrike and a better TCO. We receive less false positives than with Microsoft Defender and Cybereason is easier for level 1 users to use. Incentivized Keith Barros Senior Director, Information Security Read full review	Microsoft Because Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management is part of the broader Microsoft Defender family (including Defender XDR, Entra ID, Azure Security, Sentinel, etc.), it: Shares identity, endpoint, and threat context across tools Reduces the need for custom integrations or connectors Works in a “single pane of glass” experience for SOC analysts Why it matters: Organizations already invested in Microsoft security tools gain greater contextual insight and lower operational overhead.

Return on Investment	LevelBlue Helps on threat hunting MalOps is very good When we face a bug, it takes too much time for them to respond Incentivized Jarcy de Azevedo Junior Cyber Security Tech Lead Read full review	Microsoft Reduced Business Risk from Unknown External Assets Operational Efficiency and Cost Avoidance Faster Risk Identification During Change Events Incentivized SZ SARAI ZAMBRANO MORENO Process Engineer Read full review
