We performed a comparison between Cyera and Microsoft Defender for Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like how they model the data. They find data in different places that we didn't know, and they can give us a good idea if it's sensitive or not. They understand whether or not something is in the right region because, with the cloud posture management tool, we could see certain things in the infrastructure, but the way they dig into the data is what we like."
"The data discovery, data classification, and CSPM features are most valuable."
"Defender is a robust platform for dealing with many kinds of threats. We're protected from various threats, like viruses. Attacks can be easily minimized with this solution defending our infrastructure."
"It takes very little effort to integrate it. It also gives very good visibility into what exactly is happening."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"The technical support is very good."
"Using Security Center, you have a full view, at any given time, of what's deployed, and that is something that is very useful."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the remote workforce capabilities and the general experience of the remote workforce."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It's got a lot of great features."
"They need to add a few things in the UI from an enterprise perspective. It's more along the lines of being able to self-service, have integrations, build alerts, and things like that. Outside of that, they work with us on the API and getting alerts into our SIEM and things like that. There's always a way to do something, and they're always available, which is nice."
"As a startup company, there is a long way for them to go in terms of scalability."
"Microsoft Defender could be more centralized. For example, I still need to go to another console to do policy management."
"The solution could improve by being more intuitive and easier to use requiring less technical knowledge."
"They could always work to make the pricing a bit lower."
"After getting a recommendation, it takes time for the solution to refresh properly to show that the problem has been eliminated."
"I would suggest building a single product that addresses endpoint server protection, attack surface, and everything else in one solution. That is the main disadvantage with the product. If we are incorporating some features, we end up in a situation where this solution is for the server, and that one is for the client, or this is for identity, and that is for our application. They're not bundling it. Commercially, we can charge for different licenses, but on the implementation side, it's tough to help our end-customer understand which product they're getting."
"The solution could extend its capabilities to other cloud providers. Right now, if you want to monitor a virtual machine on another cloud, you can do that. However, this cannot be done with other cloud platform services. I hope once that is available then Defender for Cloud will be a unified solution for all cloud platform services."
"It needs to be simplified and made more user-friendly for a non-technical person."
"We would like to have better transparency as to how the security score is calculated because as it is now, it is difficult to understand."
