Microsoft Defender is a classy product from Microsoft and with the feature of Cloud, the Defender can do a lot for your infrastructure from On-Perm to Hybrid and Cloud. It has a wide dashboard from where you can see the all issues in your infra. You can see the risky users in real-time in your environment, you can see your risk score known as the secure score. You can monitor your user device risk and security recommendations from Microsoft itself. You can plan your patching according to the risk you are seeing on the dashboard.
It's implementation is very easy with your Microsoft existing environment. You will find a very quick customer support from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Features are good but a few times they failed to detect the hidden pattern of Malware, zero day attack is also not recognized by them most time. Their attack analysis did not give you more details a lot of time. So, you cannot relay 100% on this tool for security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Defender is actually a very good product; it was created by Microsoft, is free, and comes with in Windows. I like it better than antivirus. When I use antivirus, sometimes viruses still come. But since I activated Windows Defender, it works better, and my laptop performance has improved.Even I recommend to my friends that they should use Microsoft Defender for Windows because it is good.

What I dislike about Microsoft Defender is that many times it takes a lot of time to remove the trojans and viruses that come into the laptop. Keeps running in the background for a long time. I feel that Microsoft should improve what it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. As it is an integrated solution with Windows, you do not need any third-party add-ons.
2. The Defender goes through frequent updates, which ensure that it can detect all the recent threats.
3. Since it comes with Windows, Defender in itself is free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. It sometimes can be resource-intensive (RAM and CPU consumption).

So far there is nothing to dislike instead of the integration challenges with third party tool which are non-Microsoft tools. But it can be doable with guides or plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All option and log analytics are handy in single view! Well microsoft is really working on UI specially incident dashboard, new incident view section is better we can see alerts, incident timeline and previous related incident in single window which is good.
There are too much data connector in content hub which is amazing and makes our life easy to integrate new log source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Bug fixes and funtionality issue.
Recently the data connector were not visible in data connector page and we faced lot of problem in health checks.
Microsoft should build an alternate workbook to monitor all data connectors manually.
Speed issue: data query speed is low microsoft should work on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The better side of defender for cloud was that it does it works perfectly fine, it was easy to integrate with my multivendor ecommerce website & application. We implemented defender cloud within couple of days. Even the customer support helped us with complete integration. We used it for couple of months and it prevented alot of spam and attacks. In short all the resources I was utilising on my profile were inside a safe security vault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only drawback of this service I found was the costing of this service. I found it a bit on the expensive side and hence we had to drop it somehow due to budget constrain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
