I appreciate the recommendations that Microsoft Security Copilot provides, as the feature is most beneficial during the cold start when I need to begin analyzing something, since it gives me the first few steps, which is helpful and saves time.

I appreciate the ability to interact with the security data. Microsoft Security Copilot's ability to process security data is very good. It has helped us investigate some specific use case scenarios. Once you get the gist of it, it's great.

My thoughts on the integration of generative AI in it for incident response are that it saves us time and money; before it would take an hour to triage an incident to fix it, now it takes maybe ten to fifteen minutes.

Governance is an area where Microsoft Security Copilot can be improved, and it should be included as an additional feature in the next release.

Regarding pricing, it is a bit high, as each time it is discussed with customers, pricing becomes a challenging topic.

For many customers, it's too expensive. It comes at a price. What we end up doing is activating it for the purpose of extracting an action plan, then we turn it off.

One of the pain areas I have with Microsoft is that most of the security gets checked in only with E5. There is a very limited set of things one could do with E3.

I think it can be improved by having more users feeding it information because the more things it pulls from, the more we teach it and it builds on it.
