Truly incredible research. I found this article to be the pinnacle of excellence. You are very right on some of your key points; you outlined the history to a tee, you provided analytics to draw correlations, and you foreshadowed the future based off of where we have gone. well done.

Missing Microsoft Defender for Cloud. A multi-cloud CNAPP leader in every report.

Thanks for the insightful article, its thoroughly researched and very well detailed. However i am confused why we introduced a new category with the label ADR, ADR is just WAF for applications in the cloud or did i get this wrong?

Is CDR another label for XDR where CDR vendors scans for logs across the cloud or multiple clouds and hybrid environments? What meaningful and actionable insights can consumers get from combining logs together?

Mentioning every player on the market besides Microsoft Defender for Cloud,

Can only tell that you're biased.

We didn't put any of the cloud providers offerings anywhere except Microsoft defender under endpoint, so we must be biased towards Microsoft.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud is owned by Microsoft, a cloud provider, but is not tied to a specific provider and supports AWS, GCP and Azure. AWS or Google don't have a similar multi-cloud offering so there is indeed a bias. Microsoft Defender for Cloud is comparable to any leader by every criteria (including revenue) so failing to mentioning it is suspicious.
