In our hybrid enterprise environment, which consists of on-prem AD and cloud AD, Azure AD, I use Microsoft Defender for Business since we've got the Business Basic License. Some of the use cases with Microsoft Defender for Business involve monitoring the machines, updating the machines, and troubleshooting threats and things of that nature.
I use Microsoft Defender for Business to protect our company assets. Regarding use cases, there are not so many I have, but two months ago, I had one case where Microsoft Defender for Business detected a cyber attack from the log file. Each Linux system keeps track of logging failed activity on their server, and Microsoft Defender for Business detected that cyber attack and stopped that activity, which is a very good thing.
I use Microsoft Defender for Business ( /products/microsoft-defender-for-business-reviews ) primarily for endpoint security for the devices. I also use it for the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB ( /products/casb-reviews )) to get information and recommendations on applications used by employees and for Defender for email, particularly in Outlook.
I use Defender as an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and as enrichment for investigations. It mainly serves as the EDR and the source of information for Microsoft Sentinel.
As a reseller of Microsoft solutions, I use Microsoft Defender for Business primarily for endpoint protection across both laptops and desktops. Additionally, the solution is implemented for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and Windows 365 services. I use the solution extensively for enterprise-level protection.

I use the solution in my company to protect computers with Windows 10 and Windows 11 Professional in Active Directory. I don't really like the tool, but our head of service has chosen it in our company.
We predominantly use it to protect our desktops and laptops. It is used across our endpoint ecosystem. We use it for every device. We have more than 20,000 devices, and we deployed Defender about two years ago. It essentially protects all our endpoints.
