"The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions."
"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"The CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool has several significant features that provide security to our company."
"The solution is scalable."
"The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."

"The most valuable feature is the alerting system."
"The most valuable feature is its policy implementation."
"The general usability of the solution is very straightforward."
"We have become more aware of what services our users are using, how often they are using them, and what data is being sent out of the organization and to which services. So, it is really a lot about visibility and helping us make decisions based on that. It drives some of our policy decisions for adding extra security controls."
"On-demand scanning is the most valuable feature. In addition, it's a fairly fluid product. It syncs back to the cloud and provides metrics. It's pretty intelligent."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is to stop shadow IT."
"It does a great job of monitoring and maintaining a security baseline. For us, that is a key element. The notifications are pretty good."
"I like the web GUI/the management interface. I also like the security of Microsoft. As compared to other manufacturers, it's less complex and easy to understand and work with."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"The costs are high."
"In Dome9, there should be a policy validation option where we can validate the policy before we push it into production."
"Currently, this solution is somewhat expensive."
"It should have some options to activate API calls to the platform in the cloud, another improvement would be that when the rules are colonized and they want to be published."
"CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards."
"The integration with macOS operating systems needs to be better."
"There could be more granular roles that are out of the box included in the product."
"I would like more customization of notifications. Currently, you either get everything or you get limited information. I would like to have something in between where we can customize the data that is included in notifications."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"Defender for Cloud Apps could come with more configured policies out of the box. Also, integration could be easier. Integration is moderately difficult because Microsoft hasn't developed a solution that unifies device onboarding and management. You have to use Intune to manage devices and Defender for Endpoint to enforce policies. They need to fix their integration, but I believe they will straighten it out by the end of the year."
"I would like to see them include more features in the older licenses. There are some features that are not available, such as preventing or analyzing cloud attacks."
"Defender for Cloud apps is primarily useful for Azure apps. It has limited capabilities for applications based on other cloud platforms."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
