"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself.

"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
