Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender XDR

All in one solution for security in an enterprise. Solves multiple security problems for Endpoint, Identity, O365, Cloud and etc.

Pros

  • Easy to use UI
  • Great documentation
  • Constantly improving experience
  • Great detection rules

Cons

  • Better playbooks
  • Better detection rules
  • Easier tuning options
  • Detections that were missed by other EDR tools
  • Filled missing loopholes in security infrastructure
Staying up to date with intelligence, alerts, and detections. Defender does most of this for you.
You don't need that many different tools for various security objectives. Defender is a one to go tool for most of the investigations.
Yes, in general it's pretty good. Takes some work off SOC employees. I still don't trust it enough so we manually review automated response tickets, but so far only good experience.
We use Splunk it had Defender app. Easy to use and set up.
Both of these tools fill up each other gaps, sometimes one catches what other does not (from EDR perspective).
