Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Whenever we are taking a look at cloud solutions that end up touching against our Microsoft side infrastructure, I don't know if they use it for all of it, but at very least for our Microsoft side infrastructure that interacts with other cloud solutions, we'll use it as sort of our defense endpoint between those aspects of the cloud and our internal infrastructure.
  • I'd say the logging of events is quite well done and it feeds into Splunk really well. I think that's about the most experience that I've had with that or more recent experience that I've had with.
  • I don't know if it's necessarily related, but I know that when we're spinning up new resources that we're going to be testing, especially when they're cloud related, we've had issues configuring to the defender for cloud to work the way that we would like, but that might just be a lack of knowledge on our side on how to set it up correctly. So it takes a bit of trial and error to get everything working.
  • The logging is great, which allows us to keep track of the provenance and pedigree of events and how everything has happened. Again, from a development standpoint, it's just a little rough, but that might be more, again, because the solution's tailored to a more stable environment rather than one that we're just kind of thrown together to see what sticks.

Do you think Microsoft Defender for Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Microsoft Defender for Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Defender for Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft Defender for Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Defender for Cloud again?

Yes

Kind of parroting what I said before for the logging, it's really great and it's great when we want to observe what kind of communication is hitting that cloud endpoint. Again, from a configuration standpoint, it's just a bit of a pain still to get it set up to work with all of the resources that we're trying to interact with, but that might just be needing to practice more.
