Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Integrated with Azure AD & MS O365 makes it easy to use and manage security. Reliable product which protects us from malware & ransomware.
  • Integrates with Azure AD & M365 very nicely.
  • Protects from malware & ransomware.
  • Very good dashboard providing good picture of any threats.
  • License model is a bit confusing based on options.
  • Menu options being moved around making them hard to find.
  • Longer ramp up time for new users of the product.
  • MDCA provides excellent security for M365 apps like teams & SharePoint.
  • Great support on the product.
  • Provides a clear view of your Cloud environment.
  • Could be better when integrating with 3 party products.
We use it today in Azure and are considering use in AWS as well.
I would say this has cut down the number of threat alerts initially by 20% plus and also contributing to this is the scan feature so you can catch configuration errors before they become an issue.
Yes because this product can be used on premise and in all the main hyperscalers which allows us to standardize on a single product and not have to maintain to multiple skillsets or products.
