Cons
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features.""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 product must provide better malware detection.""The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect.""You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers.""The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year.""We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
