Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender XDR
We use Microsoft Defender XDR across our entire organization as our unified threat protection platform. It plays a critical role in our security operations, allowing us to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across endpoints, email, identities, and cloud apps.
The main business problem it addresses is slow incident response. It pulls in telemetry from different sources and correlates them, giving us better context and prioritization.
