Pros	No answers on this topic	Automation is crucial to managing sprawl and the additional complexity that comes with it. SOC management workbooks and process automation give significant flexibility. The Security posture score and Security Alerts are neatly centralized and offer me crucial information quickly. Defender for Cloud avoids the common compromise of simplicity for completeness (former Azure Security Center). The security warnings and advice go into great detail while remaining current and useful. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	UI/UX. It can get a little messy when navigating around with all the flyouts in the Azure portal which can be frustrating, particularly when under time pressure. The query languages for the queries and workbooks are another language that needs to be learned - it would be nice to have kept it closer to T-SQL or something like that to minimize the need to learn new syntax. Adding cost estimations to the security recommendations would really improve the experience. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
