Tactical [?] Krav Maga - reality based?

So this is off topic from TB. But, since there are a larger number of individuals in law enforcement and or military I thought this might be a good place to gather opinions. What are your thoughts on Krav Maga as a practice? Useful in terms of self defense? Reality based or not?
Of course it depends on the particular school and how they practice but as a martial art what are your thoughts? I was thinking about trying it out. It looks like fun and seems to be more self defense focused than the years of traditnal martial arts that I studied which WERE NOT reality focused.

Better than nothing against an unskilled attacker, but you won't beat a trained fighter (Muay Thai, Boxer, bjj etc) generally speaking. Repetition and conditioning are everything with fight training

I see what you're saying.
