We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"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."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is evolving and needs to fix and enhance numerous issues like stability and licensing. The continuous rebranding and licensing changes are confusing."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
