I think it's good for cloud-native companies. A company that, from day zero, they're like, "We're going cloud, and this is how we're going to do it." They get it. It works well for them. Smaller organizations that are under X amount of resources- I don't know what that X might mean- but I feel like it plays well in smaller, more nimble organizations. If you're an older organization or if you're extremely large, it starts becoming a little difficult to manage at scale. And you have to sometimes throw bodies at the problem. Maybe not the most eloquent way of saying it, but that's what it feels like.

Pros
Microsoft
  • 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.

Morphisec
  • Stops ransomware attacks in a unique fashion before they can infect and spread in an environment.
  • Works flawlessly so far with our additional security tools and platforms.
  • Has a very small footprint as an application so does not interfere with day to day operations on our endpoints.

Cons
Microsoft
  • Integrations with on-premise workloads can sometimes be challenging. Needs improvement and well standardised integration points
  • Vulnerability categories can be difficult to understand. It should allow teams to focus on critical findings and help them keep aside low-severity or suppressed vulnerabilities
  • Pricing can be improved as it can be over-priced for smaller businesses and would potentially affect their ROI due to the small scale

  • I would like to see the program run a bit faster, there are times when it takes a few minutes to detect and issue my current state.
  • We have co-workers who want to admire and try the program before taking the initiative to pay for its service, it is unfortunate that this program does not have a free version or a preview to each of its functions.

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

I would give a rating of nine for the following reasons: - easy to use dashboard with a clear view of our entire security posture -security, recommendations are easy and practical to follow -helps prioritise high risk issues instead of treating all alerts equally

I believe Microsoft Defender for Cloud stacks up well against the other tools we looked at. It is native to the Azure platform and provides the same insights as the other tools. We selected Microsoft Defender for Cloud because it integrates well with the Azure resources and gives the needed insight, security alerts and recommendations.

Morphisec won out in our search for strong protection against ransomware and zero-day attacks by offering a unique approach to preventing them, to begin with. There were some additional offerings that did some things very well themselves, but in the end, it came down to a few things Morphisec seemed to be the best in our research at least. Those things included how it specifically protected against ransomware and zero-day attacks, the small footprint it needs to run, and it's ability to just slot into our environment and allow us the flexibility to continue using our current XDR and NextGenAV platforms as well.
