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

Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed
I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.
