"The solution is up-to-date and helps prevent zero-day attacks."
"One valuable feature is the Microsoft Security Scorecard."
"The solution helps identify threats and vulnerabilities."
"The ability to isolate and address viruses is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender XDR."
"I like how Microsoft XDR and the other Microsoft products are integrated into a single unified security stack covering identity access management, endpoint protection, email, cloud applications, etc."
"My clients like Defender's file integrity monitoring. They're monitoring Windows and Linux system files."
"It gives a lot of flexibility in terms of configuration and customization as per the business requirements."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"I have found the ability to delete unwanted threats beneficial."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft 365 Defender are the combination of all the capabilities and centralized management."
"Integration can be improved."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"The general support could be improved."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
"My client would like the solution to be more customizable without using code. You can only build on the default console, but we're not allowed to change it."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."
"The capability to not only thwart attacks but also to adapt to evolving threats is crucial."
"It would be beneficial to have a more seamless experience with everything consolidated in one place, particularly when dealing with aspects related to the Exchange console."
"365 Defender has multiple subsets, including Defender for Cloud Apps. When integrating Defender for Cloud Apps with apps on third-party cloud platforms like AWS or GCP, there are limitations on our ability to control user activities. If Microsoft added more control over third-party products, that would be a game-changer and help us quite a lot."
"The management and automation of the cloud apps have room for improvement."
"There are still some components, such as vulnerability management within the vendor product, where improved integration would be beneficial."
