Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a product that I still work with today, and I work with Microsoft products in general. There are multiple features in the product. For example, if we take alerting and real-time alerting, it does help to improve threat response absolutely. However, if I am not responsible for reviewing them and they are just delivered to my mailbox, that does not matter if I do nothing. Microsoft Purview Audit Log Search standard is enough for basic customers' needs. It is enough and basically does what it is supposed to do. The main Microsoft feature is that it offers common integration of services, of data, of identity, meaning user accounts, user access, and privileged access. All the services are naturally integrated, and that is the most biggest plus. My deployment model is different, and I have everything on cloud or I have hybrid or on-premises. I rate this review as a nine out of ten.
Regarding licensing, I'm not currently informed about the specifics, though it might be included in E5. Microsoft Purview Audit was previously called Compliance Center. The functionalities have become richer since the rebranding. The assessments that could be generated from Compliance Center have been refined. The overall user experience with Microsoft Purview Audit is of higher quality than when it was branded as Compliance Center. Microsoft consistently updates and evolves functionalities and the overall experience. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Purview Audit an 8 out of 10.

I'm a Microsoft customer. We do not use the vendor's premier support option. I'd advise others to first understand how to use a secure authentication system and why you need it. You need to understand what applications may be required and what kinds of access you'll need to give to each user. I like that I can have a centralized solution for active management. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
The unified auditing functionality in Microsoft 365 provides organizations with visibility into many types of audited activities across many different services in Microsoft 365. Advanced Audit helps organizations to conduct forensic and compliance investigations by increasing audit log retention required to conduct an investigation, providing access to crucial events that help determine scope of compromise, and faster access to Office 365 Management Activity API.
