The best thing that I like about Defender is it's integration with AI and giving better detections of the advanced threat. It wuill take automatic remmidiation actions to prevent attack executions. It is better than its market competitors fir tracking the actions, you can create complex queries and detections which will be customised if you know KQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I would want Microsoft Defender to improve is that we donot have visibility in the alert logic/query. We can find the description of the alert but cannot find the query for the default rules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the tool lacks granular control over data access. It takes an overly broad approach to restricting access to sensitive data and systems. The policies it implements are too coarse and can end up blocking access for legitimate users and use cases. It also does not provide an easy way to create exceptions and override the default rules. The reporting and auditing features are basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
