Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender XDR

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For us, we just had to install it on all of our systems. Currently, we don't have the right to do anything with it, so it's just a kind of a pain because it's reported everything, but we can't fix anything.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Couldn't tell you because it's just there right now for us.

Cons

Based on the trainings that I've had so far on it, it would be a great product if the Navy would just let us use it the way it's intended. So I don't have any because we can't do anything with it.

Return on Investment

Negative: it's not an XDR issue, but again it's just our management.

Challenges Being Addressed

We were pretty good with, because we were using Splunk and everything else for our Samsung.

Automated Response

SIEM Connection/Configuration

We're using Sentinel for our cloud solution and we are using Splunk for our on-prem solution.

Probably yes.

Key Insights

Do you think Microsoft Defender XDR delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft Defender XDR's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Defender XDR live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Defender XDR go as expected?

Would you buy Microsoft Defender XDR again?

Yes

Likelihood to Recommend

For us, it's inappropriate just because you are trying to essentially manage something that is so wide and you don't want to give up too much of the control, but at the same time, it's hindering some of our projects.
