Well Suited : In my opinion, Microsoft 365 Defender is highly effective for organizations that want to boost their email security, which helps in identifying and blocking phishing attempts, malware, and other email-based threats, making it a valuable asset for email security. Also for the organizations heavily reliant on Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business. I think it is Less Appropriate for Organizations primarily using non-Microsoft productivity and collaboration tools.
