Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution blocks incoming threats on the local PC or any cloud-based threats."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"The user interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The product provides efficient email security for sending links and file attachments."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions."
"The primary and most valuable aspect of Azure AD identity is its ability to function seamlessly on both on-premise and cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive updates. However, this dual solution can pose vulnerabilities that require substantial support and security measures in the on-premise environment. Despite the challenges, it is currently not feasible to completely abandon AD, especially for companies in the sales and energy sectors. The integration with Microsoft Defender is crucial for enhancing security, making identity and security the primary focus and purpose of Azure AD."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"The price could be improved."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."
"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"Having up-to-date documentation and real-time reflections in all portals would be beneficial to keep users informed about any changes. Additionally, the frequent changes in Microsoft's UI and the movement of features between different products in the set pose difficulties."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
"Identity labeling and sensitivity needs improvement."
"The solution's sync should be faster since it can take about 30 minutes to two hours to complete a simple sync. The tool needs to sync instantly. It also needs to improve scalability, support, and stability."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
