    Suited in almost all situations as it has a server less option where if your end device cannot bear the load of an agent, it could be used to protect the network. The comprehensive dashboarding and its integration with Microsoft Defender 365 and Sentinel allows automated remediation and full incident investigation at a single pane. If you don't have a 24*7 SOC team this ca come handy as you can automate workbooks and scripts to run with custom triggers. I haven't faced any scenario where it is not a suitable choice.

    Great for our large global environment. Works well with our legacy and newer equipment. Ease of install was exciting compared to other products we POC'd. Less of a learning curve when training Teams on how to monitor and troubleshoot while in production. Service desk were able to capture the logs and load into our ticketing system with ease.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • Positive: With the influx of IoT device organisations in general, we have seen significant demand of the product and hence a good revenue
    • Negatively, sometimes, some preview features may significantly change or stop working, which causes client frustration
    • Overall, keeping the distrust in preview features aside, 99% of the times, defender hits the right spot!
