"The product enables us to check the information that goes out of the company."
"It has an analytics service that does research for us."
"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers."
"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks."
"The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."
"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."
"The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system."
"Defender helps us control which applications are being used and gain more security insight into remote and hybrid users based on user identity and log in location. You can also integrate Defender for Cloud Apps with Defender for Endpoint to extend its capabilities."
"All of the features are valuable because all of the features are related."
"It does a great job of monitoring and maintaining a security baseline. For us, that is a key element. The notifications are pretty good."
"One of the most valuable features is auditing. Some of the other protection services have issues with auditing. Microsoft Defender for Cloud has an excellent auditing technique that helps us avoid the risk of filtering or information loss. You can use different tools to guarantee these things. It allows you to conduct an in-depth exploration of applications, users, and files that are harmful or suspicious. You can also enhance your security setup by creating personalized rules or policies that help you better control traffic in the cloud."
"If your business requirements are relatively simple, it can get the job done."
"The product’s most valuable feature is SQL database."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its monitoring."
"I like the web GUI/the management interface. I also like the security of Microsoft. As compared to other manufacturers, it's less complex and easy to understand and work with."
"The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point."
"There are opportunities for improvement that can be addressed through a roadmap."
"It should have some options to activate API calls to the platform in the cloud, another improvement would be that when the rules are colonized and they want to be published."
"The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there."
"I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps’s technical support services needs improvement."
"We would like to get more information from the endpoint. I don't get enough detailed information right now on why something failed. There is not enough visibility."
"In the future, I would like to see more plug-and-play capabilities that use AI to tell you what needs to be done. It would be helpful if it scanned our devices and made security suggestions, on a configuration basis."
"There could be more granular roles that are out of the box included in the product."
"Defender for Cloud Apps could come with more configured policies out of the box. Also, integration could be easier. Integration is moderately difficult because Microsoft hasn't developed a solution that unifies device onboarding and management. You have to use Intune to manage devices and Defender for Endpoint to enforce policies. They need to fix their integration, but I believe they will straighten it out by the end of the year."
"I would like to see them include more features in the older licenses. There are some features that are not available, such as preventing or analyzing cloud attacks."
"This service would be better if it had a separate license, only for this service, that could be used to track usage."
"It doesn't actually decrease the time to respond. This has been an issue with Microsoft recently. Sometimes, there is a delay when it comes to getting an alert policy email... Sometimes it takes two or three hours for that email to be sent."
