We use several Microsoft tools, which are the majority of the features in the company, that is already a point in favor because we trust it, but the problem we had was that there is protection in the cloud, but we decided to be a little more extreme with the access of the workers to avoid any type of loss or problems with the information, for that reason we added this additional Feature to the company to offer greater security, managing to keep our information safe since it is important to mention that the information of Our Company is extremely risky, because we handle sensitive user data, such as payment tokens.
Pros
Easy Integration
Alert Efficients
Cons
Complex Configuration and UI Overload
Alert Fatigue and Prioritization Challenges

For me, the perfect fit is the use of other Microsoft features like Azure, where integration is obviously needed.<div>

From the outset, we already had certain conventional Microsoft services, so choosing to migrate or expand to the Microsoft Cloud proved to be a safe choice. The experience has been very rewarding. Microsoft Cloud has proven to be a solid, reliable platform with an ecosystem of integrated services that are ideally suited to the demands of a contemporary company.One of the biggest advantages has been the safeguarding of our data. Our entire system is in the cloud, meeting rigorous security and compliance standards, which provides us with great comfort. So far, we have had no incidents of data loss, availability errors, or security breaches.
Pros
Security
It's a weight off our shoulders by not having to maintain customer data
The cloud is easier to organize
Storage improvements
Cons
Well, one feature that can be tricky is data integration or migration.

This is definitely good to use throughout the company because it keeps the company's files and services secure, regardless of the area because it is very useful even if it is to save securely like a OneDrive.
Basically it provides the extra protection on all the cloud platforms like azure, google and AWS. It reduce the risk and makes infrastructure more efficient and robust. It combines CSPM & CWPP to detect and responds on the threats or malware quickly. It has DevSecOps Integration that makes the pipelines, servers, container more secure by scanning the infrastructure.
Pros
Cost efficient solution for cloud.
Protects from threats.
DevSecOps Integration and follow all standard security compliance.
Cons
Initial setup is difficult for new user.
Limited cross platform consistency specially for linux servers.
Likelihood to Recommend
Single dashboard has all the information. It automatically fix mis configurations. It saves the cost as well as money. AI Block threat quickly and it follows all PCI-DSS rules.
We're predominantly using it for the banking customers to identify any other vulnerabilities in their infrastructure. We used to scan and they'll see any other gaps in their workloads based on that. It also give you the remediation, how this can be fixed. That's where you're using it.
Pros
See this defender predominantly used in our workloads, especially on the banking sector, they used to scan the environment and provide the reports to the audit team to make sure that their workloads are virus free or error free.
Cons
One thing we wanted to understand in the compliance perspective, especially this product as a globally compliant, but however, there are some region specific like Middle East, they want to comply with their own compliance perspective, so probably those models can be incorporated, be useful.
Likelihood to Recommend
We used to do the scanning for on a basis. Sometimes we need to run it based on the scenario or the requirement from the global audit team. Based on that it'll be quickly, you can tweak it or customize it and then get the report as well. So the reports are really good based on your customization, the time interval, how you want it to see.
A lot of times you would think that for having the vendor, a lot of times what happens is that they come in for the premise of like, we have all these potential problems. So a lot of what happens is it becomes more of a proactive need, not so much of a reactive problem. What ends up happening is that a lot of them, they kind of just want to hit checkmark, like "Do we have defender?" A lot of times they just, once it's set up, they just never ask about it until an audit comes in. They have to make sure things happen. A lot of times it's really just making sure it's set up so that way they don't fail. Especially for government, as long as they don't fail a checklist, that's what happens.
Pros
In terms of what it does very well is that if you are really involved with using Azure, it is a really good setup tool because one thing that I've noticed with a lot of partners in general is that you're going to end up having a company comes up to you and they're going to offer, you have someone to integrate them, but if you know how to really configure and utilize the vendor, in my opinion it's not as crazy expensive. You might think it is, but it does because of how well it does everything, the big thing.
Cons
I know right now the big push is on things for copilot. Copilot is one of the big pushes in general right now. From what a lot of people have been mentioning to us, they have the ability to utilize things if they pay for copilot, but the problem is they still prefer to go to consultant to help them really set things up. In general, I think consultants suck, right? And because they suck, it would be nice to have a tool that really gets rid of that need. For that it's much more useful for them right now, at least I think somewhere around two, three years ago when they were really pushing copilot on the introduction, people were very excited about it, but right now there's still a lot of hesitation really using it, at least from what I've seen, at least on government relationships. If you're like a school district for example, there's a big common

So where it is really helpful is if you are doing things inhouse. So if you are working on things and you're building it for your internal processes in general, it's very good if you are going to be dealing with end users, specifically with end users that are outside of and by end user, I don't necessarily mean you're a software engineer that works for you or something like that. What I mean is if you are a company that is ours in particular, if you have a company like ours, we have a manufacturing site as a client. If you're on the OT side of things, I wouldn't say it's really as effective for the OT side.
The more important feature is I can pull or create policies for all the cloud endpoints we have at the moment. It's like an active directory back in the cloud.
Pros
It's easy to integrate because it's Microsoft technology and they have the same button to implement.
Cons
We need to be more specific because sometimes we miss some endpoints because the product not scanning all the endpoints in the factory. And I think that is something need to improve.

When you're using Azure Cloud, you are using another cloud provider
For secure our data and file from the outside thread and malware it is very important tool because it easily identify the actual app threads and virues and protect our application easily also we are able to view overall activities on their dashboard easily without facing any issue it overall saves time and effort to determine the cause of threads.
Pros
Easy to implement
Provide immediate alerts to the threads
Saves manual time to detect the cause of error
Cons
It saves our lot of time and effort
Providing a good dashboard
Nothing negative with using this
Likelihood to Recommend
Without using this platform it is very difficult to find the actual cause of error and takes longer time to analyse the issue but using this software it provides immediate response or alerts within less time that increase our work efficiency and saves lot of time and securing our application
We are a reseller, so we sell this product for our clients to be able to protect them from their security aspects. Most of it is basically to protect their identity on their servers, since we are a reseller for the service as well, it is a requirement for us to provide that as services.
Pros
Well, it catches the bad actors that we want them to and it allows us as an MSP to be able to action and respond to the threats. So that's what the clients take our service for.
Cons
I think a lot of it's around educational. If there is some architectural or product enhancements that Microsoft or the developers can reach out to the partners that would help. Right now we find out once we are playing around with it, that there are some of the enhancements that have come in, so that would be really good and will help as a reseller that we can then communicate to our partners as well.
Likelihood to Recommend
This is more suited for companies who really care about security out on the Microsoft journey and want to make sure that nothing is missed. For the companies that are not really interested in security and looking for a checkbox, obviously this product is not for them because it's more pricey and it does things that they're not looking for. A company that is very, very focused on security and specifically leveraging Microsoft, that's where it's best suited for
We use it to make sure that our Azure environments are safe and that no one's starting up VMs or doing anything in our Azure environment.
Pros
Like the dashboard a lot.
Cons
Maybe if it could be access using the CLI at CLI.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think that anyone who's using Azure would be helped by this product. Just maybe harder for people, not at the enterprise level to get licenses for it.
