"In Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, there is an option to enable files. Once you enable that, it will give you all the files in your organization and where they are located in the cloud... That feature is very useful for investigation purposes."
"The product’s most valuable feature is SQL database."
"All of the features are valuable because all of the features are related."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its policy implementation."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Currently, reporting is not very straightforward and it needs to be enhanced. Specific reports are not included and you need to run a query, drill down, and then export it and share it. I would love to have reports with more fine-tuning or granularity, and more predefined reports."
"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."
"Sometimes, we'll get false positive alarms. For example, when a SharePoint path has no file sharing, but there is an external user, it will trigger an alarm that the file has been shared with an external user... the alerting mechanism should be more precise when giving you an alert about what activity has been done with the file..."
"Generally, the pricing can always be improved along with the management system."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
