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."It provides a single pane of glass within the 365 admin interface, streamlining our experience by consolidating information in one place and eliminating the need to navigate through multiple interfaces."
"The 'Incidents and Alerts' tab is a valuable feature where we can find triggered alerts."
"A crucial aspect for our team is the inclusion of identity and access management tools from the vendor."
"The most valuable aspect is undoubtedly the exploration capability"
"The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good."
"The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer."
"The visibility into threats is also very impressive because Microsoft helps you predict things and provides analytics to help you really improve your security. And all of this technology works across the domain, so it is pretty helpful in terms of threat analytics."
"I like that it's fully integrated with Windows, Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, and Outlook. It is better than other antivirus solutions because it's fully integrated with all Microsoft products. It's easy to integrate them and onboard all Windows devices from SCCM."
"I think eDiscovery Premium has made dealing with data from Teams much more accessible than any other platform."
"The machine learning wasn't half bad. I really like that part. I thought it was novel. It pretty much automated it, once you trained the model."
"The tool has been beneficial. Some of our previous users left the organization without sharing the information they had at a personal level. This information was related to the organization, and they didn't disclose it. Thanks to the product, it's easy for me to search and find out what communication a specific user has done, whether it's from SharePoint or any other platform. With Microsoft Purview eDiscovery, we can easily retrieve and restore this data."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The support could be more knowledgable to improve their offering."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"Support is hit or miss. Microsoft wants you to buy premium support contracts. Though they call themselves professional support, it's almost like throwing questions into a black hole. You get an answer, but it's never helpful."
"Because of the training model, Defender XDR's automatic response sometimes blocks legitimate users and activities. Also, the UI sometimes responds slowly."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"The management features could be improved, particularly in terms of better integration with Intune, Microsoft's cloud-based management solution."
"Microsoft Purview eDiscovery should be cheaper."
"Purview eDiscovery works, but it's not entirely perfect. There were times when search results would get hung up or error codes would be presented and we'd have to contact Microsoft to get that sorted out."
"I see two significant challenges with many of my clients. One is that there are some functionality gaps compared to specialized tools in the legal industry, like a legal hold tool or a document review tool. They have features that Purview eDiscovery lacks. Those gaps create a situation where I almost have to do things twice. I need to collect all my data in eDiscovery and ship it to another platform to complete the review."
