Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."
"The tool's support is good."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"It just runs in the background. I don't have to worry about, making sure it's Intelligence. So, you know, this kind of makes it very easy, have to worry about installing. It is easy to use."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"The user interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera."
"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working."
"Having up-to-date documentation and real-time reflections in all portals would be beneficial to keep users informed about any changes. Additionally, the frequent changes in Microsoft's UI and the movement of features between different products in the set pose difficulties."
"One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems."
"The price could be improved."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"It takes time for the support team to understand the issue, and they then respond with a delay at times, which causes a lot of trouble."
