What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Identity?

I find Microsoft Defender for Identity very easy to use. I really like its seamless integration with Defender for Endpoint and other solutions like Defender for 365 or Defender XDR, allowing for flawless default integration. This makes it straightforward to see all the loggings and alerts in a single portal, which is great for better threat hunting and detection monitoring. The ease of initial setup and integration with our SIEM solution also stands out to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
