From an enterprise perspective, it meets most of the interoperability requirements. So, scalability is there. I don't see an issue from the scalability perspective. Only features are missing here and there.

Currently, it is almost serving the entire bank. In terms of the SaaS products that MCAS is monitoring and the number of users it is serving, we have onboarded around 40,000 users for Office 365 and other SaaS products. Eventually, it will be serving the entire bank, but at this point in time, it is only serving all Office 365 and SaaS product users. 

It is more of a cybersecurity solution for the bank to comply with all the security requirements and meet the security quotient. The end users don't see MCAS as a direct solution, but MCAS is providing security services for the bank behind all the services.

I would rate the scalability of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps a nine out of ten.

Defender for Cloud Apps is highly scalable. I rate it 10 out of 10 for scalability.

I've never faced any limits on scalability. 

It's scalable. You need to purchase more licenses if you want to deploy more.

You don't have to worry about the scalability because it's a SaaS application. As you add logs and data sources, it builds up. But you don't have to worry about the scalability because it's in the backend.

We have approximately 1000 Microsoft Entra ID users in our organization. The product has great scalability. That's why we moved to the cloud. We need more roles. It will help us a lot as it grows. Microsoft is already adding more roles within the PIM environment, but the more they add, the more users will go to the cloud.

Defender is scalable.

It's definitely scalable. My current client has 2,000 users.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is scalable. We are not limited by Microsoft in terms of the number of users or devices.

It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.

It is deployed across multiple locations and teams.

We haven't had any problems with scalability. We moved all devices from Windows 10 to 11 and it was very easy. We didn't need to test the machines. It worked very well.

We have 50 users of the solution.

It's scalable. Once you have acquired the license, you can easily deploy it and add more users to the policies you have configured.

We run a hybrid environment. We have four sites on the domain controller. It is deployed both for users on the cloud and on-premises in different locations. We have some located in the US and some in Europe. So we have the product across multiple locations.

Some of the policies we have configured cover 500 users and one of them covers over 500 users.

I've seen an improvement, over time, in the comprehensiveness of the protection our Microsoft products provide. They are improving on the products year over year. I remember quite well when Defender for Cloud Apps started, there were limited third-party applications that you could integrate with it. But now, there are multiple options for third-party applications that you can integrate with. There are also features that have been added to it. Microsoft is working to improve on it.

Defender for Cloud Apps is scalable. 

It is completely scalable out-of-the-box. It is completely in interaction with Office 365 services. It can go up to as many users as you have. So, if you have 100,000 users, it is capable of supporting them. I have some 50,000 users, and I'm happy that it is capable of doing that. We have implemented it 100%, and we are happy with what we have got.

It is good for an enterprise company. It is not for a small-scale business. 

The product has good scalability.

It is scalable. We have 100 licenses for one company, and we probably have 1,000 licenses for another company.

I haven't tested the scalability. I don't have any opinion on the scalability. It seems to me that it fits the customer's needs from a scalability perspective.

An average organization would almost utilize 100 to over 150 applications. They wouldn't really have an understanding of what activities are happening across those corporate applications. You can integrate N number of applications. There are approximately 16,000 plus applications that you can monitor and integrate with Cloud App Security. Then, based on those applications, you can understand the users' behavior.

The benefit you get is that you are able to monitor all your applications and control the data that goes out of those applications. You can also control any sort of activity, which you feel should not be happening on that application. The user can be prevented from doing certain activities. Cloud App Security helps you do that across as many apps as you want.

In terms of users. the default Cloud App Security is just a license-based solution. As long as you have users in your organization, you just buy licenses from Microsoft and assign those licenses to your user accounts. It's very scalable. 

There are a few parts to it. For example, shadow IT discovery, which is an added feature that allows you to be able to implement additional users in your organization. The Cloud App Security will also require additional infrastructure. Let's say if the data set that Cloud App Security is absorbing at a particular time span, if it increases, then you probably have to implement additional on-prem resources or cloud resources for it to be able to track all of the network data.

Depending on the data set that you're ingesting in Cloud App Security, you might have to increase your workload on-prem. Other than that, Cloud App Security itself is a very scalable solution.

When it comes to the size of organizations I've worked with, I should note I am personally a Microsoft consultant only. I work on Microsoft projects and with Microsoft's clients only. I've worked with organizations with 15,000 users and an organization that has approximately 6,000 users. I've worked with organizations that have 500 users. The size of the company varies.

The solution is extremely scalable. 

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is scalable.

This solution is scalable. You simply buy licenses and access the platform.

Currently, we have five people in the company who are using it. With new clients using our service and other clients moving to the cloud, I want to have a security broker in place so I expect to increase our usage.

At this point, we have not had the need to scale up or scale down. We have approximately 250 devices that we are protecting.

It's a SaaS solution so the scalability depends purely on the organization: How many applications do they want to integrate with it and do they have the corporate licenses? MCAS itself is scalable. You don't need to deal with servers, or RAM, or finding a new data center. Scaling it is purely up to you and depends on how much data you want to feed it and on the use cases you want to use it for.

We have had no problem with scalability.

The scalability is really good. It has improved while I have been using it. It definitely appears to be able to scale easily and well. 

We have plans to increase our usage.

We have 1000 students at the moment, but not all of them are using this solution right now. In total, we have between 300 and 500 users.

It is very easy to expand it and it is also very easy to manage because it has a centralized dashboard. You can see all of our teams and activate the software. Any person can export a report. It's very easy to access for me.

Our clients are enterprise-size. 

The scalability of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is good.

We plan to increase the usage of the solution.
