"It's quite a good product. It helps to understand the infections and issues you are facing."
"Threat protection is comprehensive and simple."
"It isn't a highly complex solution. It's something that a lot of analysts can use. Defender gives you a broad overview of what's happening in your environment, and it's a great solution if you're a Microsoft shop."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the remote workforce capabilities and the general experience of the remote workforce."
"We saw improvement from a regulatory compliance perspective due to having a single dashboard."
"Multifactor authentication is valuable."
"Pricing could be improved. There are limited options based on pricing for the government."
"They could always work to make the pricing a bit lower."
"The solution could improve by being more intuitive and easier to use requiring less technical knowledge."
"No possibility to write or edit any capability."
"It needs to be simplified and made more user-friendly for a non-technical person."
"Sometimes it's very difficult to determine when I need Microsoft Defender for Cloud for a special resource group or a special kind of product."
"Agent features need to be improved. They support agents through Azure Arc or Workbench. Sometimes, we are not able to get correct signals from the machines on which we have installed these agents. We are not able to see how many are currently reporting to Azure Security Center, and how many are currently not reporting. For example, we have 1,000 machines, and we have enrolled 1,000 OMS agents on these machines to collect the log. When I look at the status, even though at some places, it shows that it is connected, but when I actually go and check, I'm not getting any alerts from those. There are some discrepancies on the agent, and the agent features are not up to the mark."
"Customizing some of the compliance requirements based on individual needs seems like the biggest area of improvement. There should be an option to turn specific controls on and off based on how your solution is configured."
"We use a third-party API called Nebula API to integrate the account for authorization. The time-bound access area in Entra can be a problem. It can be improved in terms of the granularity of the permissions."
