Cons

"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."
"The price could be improved."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is evolving and needs to fix and enhance numerous issues like stability and licensing. The continuous rebranding and licensing changes are confusing."
"I would like to see more frequent updates, which is always better for security because of daily threats."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"While the current setup meets our needs, Microsoft can constantly improve customization and adaptability to rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
