Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, Microsoft and others in Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP)."The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"The ease of use of the platform is very nice."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"Defender is user-friendly and provides decent visibility into threats."
"We saw improvement from a regulatory compliance perspective due to having a single dashboard."
"It takes very little effort to integrate it. It also gives very good visibility into what exactly is happening."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The vulnerability reporting is helpful. When we initially deployed Defender, it reported many more threats than we currently see. It gave us insight into areas we had not previously considered, so we knew where we needed to act."
"It works seamlessly on the Azure platform because it's a Microsoft app. Its setup is similar, so if you already have a Microsoft account, it just flows into it."
"Most importantly, it's an integrated solution. We not only have Defender for Cloud, but we also have Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, and Defender for Identity. It's an integrated, holistic solution."
"It has seamless integration with any of the services I mentioned, on Azure, such as IaaS platforms, virtual machines, applications, or databases, because it's an in-house product from Microsoft within the Azure ecosystem."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved."
"We had a glitch in PingSafe where it fed us false positives in the past."
"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."
"PingSafe's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."
"One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"The documentation and implementation guides could be improved."
"Another thing is that Defender for Cloud uses more resources than CrowdStrike, which my current company uses. Defender for Cloud has two or three processes running simultaneously that consume memory and processor time. I had the chance to compare that with CrowdStrike a few days ago, which was significantly less. It would be nice if Defender were a little lighter. It's a relatively large installation that consumes more resources than competitors do."
"The product was a bit complex to set up earlier, however, it is a bit streamlined now."
"The solution could extend its capabilities to other cloud providers. Right now, if you want to monitor a virtual machine on another cloud, you can do that. However, this cannot be done with other cloud platform services. I hope once that is available then Defender for Cloud will be a unified solution for all cloud platform services."
"Sometimes, it's very difficult to determine when I need Microsoft Defender for Cloud for a special resource group or certain kinds of products. That's not an issue directly with the product, though."
"It needs to be simplified and made more user-friendly for a non-technical person."
"When you work with it, the only problem that we're struggling with is that we have 21 different subscriptions we're trying to apply security to. It's impossible to keep everything organized."
"Another thing that could be improved was that they could recommend processes on how to react to alerts, or recommend best practices based on how other organizations do things if they receive an alert about XYZ."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
