"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks.

"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products.

"The product's scalability is good."

"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."

"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"The adware module could be improved."

"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"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."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"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 Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
