"The solution has good performance, I have not seen a problem."
"Defender's analytics are much better than CrowdStrike's."
"This software is easy to use."
"The folders and files protection are its most valuable features. These have been valuable because of the increase in ransomware attacks. With these two features, I can ensure that no changes have been made to our system or endpoint folders and files without the user being aware."
"It's stable."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspects are the reporting analytics and integration with Sentinel. Defender does an excellent job of correlating the different entities that comprise threat analysis, analytics data, and log analytics. It helps to piece together investigations into any exploit or malicious activity within a specific tenant. AI and analytics tools are probably the most valuable components."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"We have more visibility of data and how it is being shared."
"Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."
"We move data between clouds and also from on-premises to the cloud. There is no other mechanism to check if this data is moving according to industry standards for such things as security, bandwidth, and SSL encryption mechanism. We would not be able to see these metrics without Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager."
"They should come up with pre-built inner workflows."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"There are likely some technical improvements or features that could be added, however, I cannot say, off the top of my head, what they would be."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint does not provide much flexibility in terms of threats."
"With regards to the interface, a challenge I found was that there was not enough documentation on how to tune it. I had to read multiple sources on the internet to learn how to configure the tool appropriately."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"There's scanning going on that occasionally topples the memory, causing everything to freeze. This should be fixed."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not as robust, and you cannot customize it much, so that's a challenge."
"One area for improvement is the technical support for Purview. With all the other solutions from Microsoft we get really good technical support, but with Purview we had a compliance error and we couldn't find the solution. Purview would not point us to the correct solution, it just indicated the error. We had to troubleshoot it and find out what led to this error. We contacted technical support but it took them one week to identify the root cause of the error."
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams."
"We'd like to see the solution expanded to include firewalls and endpoints."
