I would say if your environment has had changes or is about the change, with remote users and are introducing more IoT devices into the situation, I would say that it is time.
This is the best solution to detect other devices that are not an endpoint that you can install an EDR on, like IoT devices or items like some medical devices.
Also, I would keep in mind that there will be a training curve so make sure you do your homework and have a team ready that is trained on what to look for, or it could end up being a waste of time.
