"The summarization of emails is a valuable feature."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"Microsoft Defender XDR provides strong identity protection with comprehensive insights into risky user behavior and potential indicators of compromise."

"You can advise the solution and protect your environment."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
