It’s a glorified alarm system that Microsoft charges you a fortune to ignore. They slap "EDR" on the box, but half the "responses" are just alerts dumped into a portal for your already-overworked team to triage.

In reality, it watches processes and network connections, then compares them to known-bad patterns. When it *does* flag something, good luck getting actionable intel without another subscription. For the price, you could run a proper open-source stack and actually own your telemetry. But hey, it integrates with Azure real nice 😉.
