Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Score 8.8 out of 10
N/A
Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) for Azure, on-premises, and multicloud (Amazon AWS and Google GCP) resources.
ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus is highly effective for organizations prioritizing ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and a single pane of glass for both vulnerability detection and patching. It is well-suited for organizations needing to manage a diverse, yet traditional, on-premise IT infrastructure (servers, workstations, laptops). It is good at securing remote endpoints by using an agent to scan, detect and patch workstations. It is good for both scanning and remediating vulnerabilities through the built-in patching tools. It is ideal for a smaller to mid sized environment using Active Directory.
So, for companies that are strictly Microsoft-based for PCs, it's a good thing for them to have. Some that are more Mac-based or Linux-based have some gaps, and I think there are some gaps in the availability of vulnerability scanning for third-party software that gets loaded onto those machines. Microsoft does a really good job of scanning the products that are good for Windows devices, but they struggle a bit on the Linux side and a little bit on the Mac side. So I'd like to see them try to improve.
It's really well laid out, with an easy-to-use, accessible UI.
With Microsoft Defender for Cloud, it has everything you need with the Safelink attachment, the Safelink emails for URL, the way it scans those URLs and attachments within the product, and you're seeing the results. And that adds an extra layer of security for the user, so you feel comfortable knowing the product monitors those. That's something I really like about that product.
I think Microsoft Defender for Cloud could do a better job of making some of the security alerts easier to understand and easier to resolve.
Since there are some popular ITSM tools that a lot of companies use, I think Microsoft should make it a lot easier for Microsoft Defender for Cloud to integrate with the popular ITSM tools.
The should be a way for users to trigger their own scans for data security related events.
It is a great product that integrates nicely when running an Azure platform and even multi-cloud environment. Not looking for point-solutions but a suite that answers most requirements. It is very comfortable being able to use KQL, workbooks and automation that is native to the azure platform
My visibility is limited because I'm only doing very small pieces of what the overall org does. And also, we have limitations on what we're allowed to use. It's not like we get a new product as users or leadership level users, and everything is on, and we can just do whatever we want. We're very restricted in what we can use any tooling within the org because of the different levels of regulatory constraints we have, because of just the nature of who we are inherently. So that's why. I don't think it's necessarily the product. I think it's more or less of what we're able to do with the product.
I chose Vulnerability because it is very easy to use and analyzes threats effectively. I previously used Microsoft System Center; however, due to its complexity and lack of transparency, we decided to remove it from our company and keep only Vulnerability.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud is definitely the choice with the latest market trend and attacks that are currently happening. Microsoft has been able to safe guard a lot after the recent serious attacks happening globally in the digital world. There is a trust in this software and with the latest updates and machine learning capabilities, Microsoft Defender for Cloud should be the choice.
By automating the scanning, assessment, and patch management process, VMP has helped reduce the time to patch for us by 40%.
It has provided continuous visibility into device health and overall patch state. This has helped reduce the amount of time manually checking and updating.
By prioritizing the list of vulnerabilities the tool has helped our staff stay focused on the high-impact risks and ensure that critical assets are patched first.
