Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Really do a lot of push for security. Posture management really feel like that's a strong, strong sort. We also use it for ingestion of signals as well, but a lot of security posture management push right now.
Pros
- I really think me, myself, and I really think security posture management is something it does really well. I also think the maturity has been going in the right direction, certainly connecting to some of those other resources outside of Microsoft Cloud and that's really what been liking to see. It's doing a much better job of unseating other solutions that complicate workflow and ingestion of data, so really happy with that.
Cons
- There's some resources in AWS that aren't quite in there. I certainly get feedback on things that people would like to see, but I generally feel like that's just mixing solutions where there's other parts of the Microsoft stack that do a better job. So I think maybe there's a way for it to be presented better in terms of what it competes against and where it sits.
- 100% positive. Lots of opportunity for cost savings from a workflow and just from a best product perspective is always the goal.
A mix between Azure ARC for on-prem resources, multi-cloud environments, the whole shebang. I mean certainly strongly arc. I think that's an awesome solution. Bringing those signals in and really helps streamline some of that security management as well. That's fallen apart a lot of organizations with the GPO side
My recent implementations have been about increasing visibility, so I wouldn't say it necessarily reduces the amount of alerts kind of strictly, at least in my recent experience.
Yep. The amount of tools eliminated, or, I mean the cost savings depending on who I've worked with has been between 20 and 50,000 a year.
Evaluated between cost. I just think it integrates better with the Microsoft stack and I mean, I think just cost from just that perspective and being the one pane of glass, I think that's enough.
