Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.

Thorough incident analysis and seamless integration enhance security efforts despite some room for improvement
We tried the proactive threat hunting feature, but it was not a good experience with Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting. It created more trouble than expected with false positives and non-expected answers. We opened a support case with Microsoft and had an engineer work with our customer. They fixed it, but it was definitely not a good experience for the customer. The integration capabilities of Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting with existing security tools are quite easy because it's by design. It's only a button that, if you pay for the feature, you will have the ability. The value of detailed incident reports varies depending on the customers. Some say it helps in investigating, while others find it very interesting for proactive remediation. Potential users should try Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting to form their own view and improve their security posture. It can help address the lack of internal personnel if needed. Overall rating: 8/10
