"The most valuable features of Microsoft 365 Defender are the combination of all the capabilities and centralized management."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a good solution and easy to use."
"I like Defender XDR's automation capabilities. XDR isn't automated by default, but you can automate it to respond. If an attack is performed anywhere within the organization, you can isolate that instance from the network. This is what I can figure out for it. When integrated with Sentinel, you can set up playbooks to automate all the alerts gathered on Sentinel from different Microsoft solutions. Sentinel has a wider range of capabilities than XDR."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"The timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"Another noteworthy feature that I find appealing in Microsoft Defender is the credit-backed simulation. This feature enables organizations to train their users on effectively responding to phishing emails through a simulated training environment."
"Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"While the XDR platform offers valuable functionalities, it falls short of other solutions in its ability to deliver a cohesive identity experience."
"It would be beneficial to have a more seamless experience with everything consolidated in one place, particularly when dealing with aspects related to the Exchange console."
"In the future, it would be beneficial for Microsoft to consider making the product more user-friendly or simplified for those who are interested in using it. Currently, it requires a high level of technical expertise, making it challenging for beginners or less experienced individuals."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
"I would like more of the features in Defender for 365 to be included in the smaller licenses. Even if I buy a small license and don't need everything, security shouldn't be a question. Security is one of the main aspects of all projects from our side, so it would be nice to have more features in the smaller licenses."
"There is no common area where we can manage all the policies for the EDR, third-party solutions, devices, servers, Windows, Mac, etc., but it's on the road map, and we ware waiting for that feature."
"The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things."
"Microsoft frequently changes the names of its products, sometimes even renaming entire portals or features."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"The price is too high."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
