Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

We use it to make sure that our Azure environments are safe and that no one's starting up VMs or doing anything in our Azure environment.

Pros

  • Like the dashboard a lot.

Cons

  • Maybe if it could be access using the CLI at CLI.
  • We don't know how many potential breaches it may have stopped, so potentially pretty massive.
Azure is now our main cloud, so we got startup credits, and so we are able to switch over and we're basically using it for free. Right now we do have AWS, we were previously really relying on it, but now we're mainly using Azure.
I actually don't know. I don't review the threat alerts, but I'm sure that it's better to have the alerts than the deep breach.
I think that we'd have to, we probably would've had to get a Wiz license or something if it weren't for Microsoft Defender. It's specific to just Azure, but I think that it works and it's saving us cost because some of the third party tools are really expensive. I don't know how much waste cost, but it's definitely makes a few thousand a month.
I was trained on AWS originally, but I'm starting to Azure more and more in Microsoft.
