Anytime you have desktops/laptops or servers that need to be managed for patching this is awesome. Integrates with other products very well. I have yet to find a product that wasn't in their system but they still have a manual option to add 3rd party programs that they've missed.

The software also scales to give mid-sized and enterprise originations the in-depth information needed for compliance.

Microsoft Defender for Business is user friendly but requires some IT knowledge to adapt to its full potential. Microsoft 365 business will likely be more adaptable and have less of a learning curve than new users when configuring settings or security policies. Overall, I would say that strengths outweigh weaknesses and the unknowns can be learned

While they both have some of the same features, Microsoft Defender for Business has far less, and the more complex you want to get with your configurations, you may need to dip your toe into the InTune Admin Center to deploy certain policies.
