The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."

"The solution is very easy to use, especially the cloud version which is very, very simple. There are some good templates already built-in, so we can just select the template, and you will get all the necessary functionality. The only one thing you have to do is point all your traffic in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the URL relay protection because it protects users from phishing attacks."

"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"It needs to make sure that the application is up to date with new attacks. They should also send us the demo or introductions for their new incoming features."
"Email security checks contain a small number of false positives."
"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."
