Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Wazuh and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR)."The EDR features are valuable. By getting the EDR features, we have more control over the device. We have information about events in real-time and more protection against zero-day threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. We can monitor every event or action that a device is going through. We can get an idea if it is something malicious or if we have to take any actions."
"The timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"We are able to consolidate licences and make use of many Microsoft products using this solution. If we have any Microsoft customers, we encourage them to use this solution for enterprise defence."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is scalable."
"The most valuable features are spam filtering, attachment filtering, and antivirus protection."
"The visibility into threats is also very impressive because Microsoft helps you predict things and provides analytics to help you really improve your security. And all of this technology works across the domain, so it is pretty helpful in terms of threat analytics."
"You can advise the solution and protect your environment."
"The price should be adjustable by region."
"The logs could be better."
"The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."
"At times, when we have an incident email and we click on the link for that incident, it opens a pop-up, but there is nothing. It has happened a couple of times."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"This solution could be improved if it included features such as those offered by Malwarebytes."
"Sometimes, configurations take much longer than expected."
"The solution should have better reporting."
