User Testimonials
	Microsoft Defender for Identity	Netwrix Threat Prevention
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Microsoft Defender for Identity is a great solution for each company that has an Active Directory. It fills in the blanks for Identity related incidents that are being missed in the XDR platform. To get a full view on identity risks it is an essential component 🛡 Arjan Stijntjes Security Consultant Read full review	Netwrix If you have an environment where there is heavy changes being made to your AD, then this is a great tool to have. Now, if your environment is being managed by one person and has very little change activity, then I would stick with searching the windows log files.

Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Netwrix They are very knowledgeable and willing to assist with any issue that may occur.

Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Microsoft Defender for Identity is more specialized on the Identity platform, it is a single solution compared to a multi-solution. The integration is better when using the XDR suite in combination with Sentinel. Microsoft Defender for Identity gives a better overview of the security posture 🛡 Arjan Stijntjes Security Consultant Read full review	Netwrix Varonis did a good job compared to the same things that StealthIntercept does. When it comes to configuring the reports within StealthIntercept, the configuration portion is easier. However, the web console in Varonis looked better and is a bit easier to navigate.

Return on Investment	Microsoft Cost impact was pretty high Learning curve, needed time (money) for training Greatly improved detections and gives more insights 🛡 Arjan Stijntjes Security Consultant Read full review	Netwrix This tool has helped to identify user mistakes. This tool has been helpful with identifying systems brute force attaching. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
