It is well suited if your team is working with Microsoft tools and Azure services. but if you are using other cloud service providers and don't want to spend efforts in learning integration with third-party software then this is not a great fit for you. overall we are very satisfied with the product. If your corporation with Microsoft tools then I would recommend it.

Suitable scenario: The McAfee Cloud Workload Security console has helped me a lot in saving physical resources. We no longer have to have a server and spend resources to maintain the console, everything is in the cloud. Unsuitable scenario: After the change to the cloud the McAfee Cloud Workload Security reduced many things that were made very easy when it was on a physical server. Active directory server integration with the console is a bit tricky. That should be improved and be somewhat more friendly when connecting to be able to migrate user machines.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps was chosen primarily due to its ability to work perfectly within our mostly M365 environment. Given that this was an added feature of our E5 license, we chose to dive into it and use it due to it's good visibility into user actions and the ability to tie all M365 actions together into one place. We did not see similar visibility with other tools that we vetted

We use McAfee Endpoint Security on user PCs and I must say that it is an excellent antivirus. The alerts we have had have been resolved without any problem. I totally recommend it.
