Cons
"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension.""Support must be improved.""I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors.

"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers.""The price could be improved.""The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved.""Having up-to-date documentation and real-time reflections in all portals would be beneficial to keep users informed about any changes. Additionally, the frequent changes in Microsoft's UI and the movement of features between different products in the set pose difficulties.""Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel.""Technical support could be a bit better.""One area that can be improved is reducing false positives.""Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is evolving and needs to fix and enhance numerous issues like stability and licensing.
