Our infrastructure is 80% windows and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the best EDR in the market. Microsoft's detection Engineering team is on top of things and their customer support reviews were good. Many security verticals would be able to use this tool for improving their security strategy. Easier to scale and to integrate with windows heavy infrastructure.
We are using threat hunting, vulnerability management, intrusion and malware detection and automating security incidents.
6k+ endpoints. Out of the 6k, 80% endpoints are windows which are secured by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and the rest linux machines are also secured by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is more advantageous in our windows heavy infrastructure and it was unparalled in the ease of integration with windows endpoints. Security breaches, system crashes and outages with other competitors like Crowdstrike made it easier for us to go with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

Its helping us in detecting threats in our environment. It also helps us to understand the risk from any exploited vulnerabilities by showing us the exposed assets and their criticality. However it requires SCCM or Intune for deploying which can be a blocker. If you're using the rest of the Microsoft infrastructure for e-mail, identity, etc then Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the best option. the largest problem I have with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is it is very hard for me to find out WHY it alerted on something.
