Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've been doing a lot of migration work over the last years, especially, but overall, as a company, migrating anything on our scale takes a long, long time. So I think some of. It's been beneficial in streamlining our visibility and also in effecting change at the user level, so essentially, the target would be to do so quickly. And that has been probably, from my very limited viewpoint, because as I said, just started using it, probably the best ROI or bank for our partner. I think just getting folks familiarized and trained quickly enough is an issue. That's something that we're trying to figure out how to scale out better within the org.

Pros and Cons

Pros

I think effecting change aligned with our leadership goals across a larger number of environments, more quickly than we could before, is probably the biggest pro I currently see. Although, as I said, I'm only one of many users.

Cons

I think getting folks adequately trained on it has been a bit more of a challenge than I originally expected. But again, my view of it is very narrow compared to others in the org.

Return on Investment

I think efficiency has been a big ROI point for us. So gaining efficiency and visibility is big because we have people across so many different countries and many different locations, and it's just a big thing for us.

Usability

My visibility is limited because I'm only doing very small pieces of what the overall org does. And also, we have limitations on what we're allowed to use. It's not like we get a new product as users or leadership level users, and everything is on, and we can just do whatever we want. We're very restricted in what we can use any tooling within the org because of the different levels of regulatory constraints we have, because of just the nature of who we are inherently. So that's why. I don't think it's necessarily the product. I think it's more or less of what we're able to do with the product.
