Companies that are not using Azure cloud exhaustively will struggle with maximizing the potential of Microsoft defender as multiple important features require the use of IoT Hub etc The product definitely shines though, when integrated with it's friends, i.e when used collectively within microsoft ecosystem. Paired with Intune and IoT Hub, it does a phenomenal job at providing global protection including automated threat protection and cross domain network security features
