Microsoft Defender XDR

Formerly Microsoft 365 Defender

It was easy to implement in comparison to Palo Alto, and cost-saving can integrate well with Windows products.

It really was the first and most logical option since it is an integral part of the platform that we want to protect and so far the results have been optimal.

We used the MS XDR as this is a bundle that we bought when we subscribed to the M365 platform, so having it was a bonus as we stated earlier, but due to limitation on licenses in Sentinelone, having this is just a blessing for us, so we can reduce around 200 licenses and can utilize it for other users

The on-boarding and initial deployment is very much automated and has less technical overheads in comparison to the above products as per my experience. Apart from that, once organizations decide to move towards even one of the Microsoft security products, it will make more sense for them to employ Microsoft 365 Defender rather than any other XDR in the market.

The Microsoft 365 Defender is a product that has a lot of advantages over other similar products. This is because Microsoft 365 Defender integrates seamlessly with both Microsoft 365 services, is capable of detecting threats in real time, and has the capability of automating incident response. This cybersecurity solution has unique features and a user-friendly design that organizations prefer.

For the Identity Protection, Microsoft 365 Defender helps me to have fewer headaches from resetting passwords and securing the hacked account, it forces the security layers that help to achieve this solution.For the Endpoint, I have bought too many apps to secure endpoints but Microsoft 365 Defender for endpoint helps me to secure all endpoints while I'm sitting in my office with monitoring everything and fixing all issues with it.For the Data Loss Prevention, it helps me to achieve the best practices of securing confidential information and data and emails internal and external the enterprise For Cloud apps and Cloud Integration, I use it to secure all cloud app in Azure and AWS and Gcloud, it makes everything in one platform which make it easy for me to secure and investigete every issue.

We use sophos endpoint protection and xg firewalls in conjunction with microsoft 365 defender. We dont believe defender is robust enough to be our only security solution but it works well as another line of defense from threats to our organization especially our ever growing microsoft 365 enviroments list of applications.

beats cylance protect, crowstrike is solid but at a costly product
cannot use kapersky due to embargo
norton not good enough now

We have used and find great value with competitors to Microsoft 365 Defender. Many of these services were utilized before customers began the total cloud shift that has been seen with certain industries. It is difficult to compare these products apples to apples. What I will say is that Microsoft has a steeper learning curve, and suffers from frequent enough rebranding and renaming of services, but it is often included in licensing that many companies need or wind up purchasing. Third party competitors come at an additional cost, but can remediate the burden of learning as they are typically user friendly in comparison.

As already stated, the main advantage of Defender is being able to use a single console to manage it and all the other 365 applications. I can state that it provides a more effective protection than Bitdefender MDR and Trend Micro Apex One while I consider CrowdStrike on the same level.

The integration into our office suite and email system is really a breeze with the Microsoft 365 Defender

Trend Micro Vision One is much more expensive and there is so much more to configure. For our use case it was to big.

We use Microsoft products and have a large group of users. It works easily with our system. There is a great deal of knowledge base out there, often a little overwhelming. But we feel it's the best tool for our network to use parallel to the rest of our back-end.

Firstly Microsoft 365 Defender offers effortless integration with other Microsoft solutions over the products evaluated. Compared to Microsoft 365 Defender the evaluated products should improve the integration and its web interfaces.
Few challenges were encountered when contacting support during the evaluation and service or support is considered to be the most important factor for any product to be procured.
Pricings of Kaspersky and ESET XDR solutions were much more higher compared to Microsoft 365 Defender.
One point where Microsoft needs to be improved is to improve their system learning capabilities, interface and support documentation.

Microsoft is a known leader in the cyber security space and the trust microsoft has is greater than any other product. The pricing though bit on the higher side , but it ensures a proper support with using the product which makes it more preferred in our organisation.it is fairly having a better documentation

We selected the Microsoft 365 Defender as we using Microsoft environment and integration with Microsoft 365 Services. Also its provide single dashboard from where we can manage and monitor security across different services, Which streamlines our security operations and enhances visibility.

As compare to the FortiAuthenticator and FortiSIEM the Microsoft 365 Defender has been standout performer while handling, detecting the preventing the attacks. The Microsoft 365 Defender is very good in analyzing the critical event and detecting the attacks and it's scope before it happens. Also the remediation steps performed by the Microsoft 365 Defender is far more better than expected.

Microsoft 365 defender is less noticeable, easy to manage and maintain and has a uncomplicated installation process.

N/A

Microsoft 365 Defender integration is easy to implement and it provides an extra edge when used with Microsoft ecosystems.

First and foremost using a like for like product linked to its vendor is always going to be a smooth process i.e. Office 365 and Microsoft 365 Defender it will always work in tandem because of its integration, stacking up Mimecast Integrated Cloud Email Security with Microsoft 365 Defender is a tough one as both these tools are good in their own regard but I will always choose Microsoft 365 Defender because it really does provide an integrated system to Office 365.

Both of these tools fill up each other gaps, sometimes one catches what other does not (from EDR perspective).

365 Defender works with all 365 applications to protect the user while using them from any potential threats. This is one of the main reasons why Microsoft is a business standard. They provide everything a business needs in one place, one license.
We chose 365 Defender because our organisation uses all 365 applications, it made sense to use their security platform because it would work best with the applications they built.
