Pros
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat.""It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. 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.""The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""The initial setup was easy.""It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have.""The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies.""The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."

Cons
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers.""They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are.""We noticed that from time to time, Microsoft's stability does have problems. Sometimes the service goes up and down. Sometimes they change without prior notice.""Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once.""The custom alerts have to improve a lot.""We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend.""The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent.""The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
