Reviewers indicate that Microsoft Defender for Cloud helps lower expenses by reducing the need for multiple security tools. Based on client feedback, one reviewer believes the product offers savings over third-party solutions, though they could not provide a specific monetary value.
“I can't really give it a good estimation for it, but I would say it definitely does help with the reduction of the amount of security tools because when you would do an inventory management of your tools, there are a lot of solutions people can have.”
“100%, yes. For the first part, from amount perspective, it'll be hard because obviously I don't know the pricing model for any third party because I only sell Microsoft, but 100% it reduces from what I've heard from the clients. I just don't have a dollar figure what that would be.”

Reviewers mention using Microsoft Defender for Cloud in environments that are cloud-agnostic and contain a mix of on-premises and cloud resources. The platform is noted for its utility in multi-cloud settings, including the use of Azure Arc for on-prem resources.
“So we do have a lot of on-prem related things and we are also cloud agnostic too, so any of them that will help us be authorized better on authorizations, we're going to be involved with it.”
“A mix between Azure ARC for on-prem resources, multi-cloud environments, the whole shebang.”
“Our environment has a mix of on-prem and cloud resources.”
