"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."

"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."

"This solution has advanced a lot over the last few years."

But also the investigative parts, the historical logging of events over the network are extremely interesting because it gives an in-depth insight into the history of account activity that is really easy to read, easy to follow, and easy to export."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats.

"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster."

"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"I would like to be able to do remediation from the platform because it is just a scanner right now. If you onboard a device, it shows you what is happening, but you can't use it to fix things. You need to go into the system to fix it instead."
"The impact of the sensors on the domain controllers can be quite high depending on your loads. I don't know if there's any room for improvement there, but that's one of the things that might be improved."
"When the data leaves the cloud, there are security issues."
"The solution could be better at using group-managed access and they could replace it with broad-based access controls."
