A solution that compliments the Microsoft stack!

365 Defender provides another level of insight to the organization, helping to gain a 360 understanding of what is happening at all levels. It can be very difficult to get this insight, often requiring a selection of packages to get close. However, a big proportion of areas are covered with 365 Defender. Being security conscious, while many will suggest only running a single XDR type solution, Defender has worked well for us coupled with another known endpoint product, so between the two, we're confident we have all areas covered across the organization scattered worldwide.

Every day is a challenge when considering security. As a team, we always want the best and to cover every single area, however we know it's not always possible but 365 Defender 'plugs a gap' and bridges what several solutions would be needed for. Having devices in many locations means cloud management is a must and the integration with the rest of the 365 offering takes this to another level.

We're not yet using this across the estate but are trialing it before full deployment. It seems very useful, and we've been impressed so far! I could see a lot of organizations getting great use from this. For any team, having a level of automation that can be relied on is key to helping save time, being faster at responding and more efficient.
