"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"The UI is very good."
"PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it's intuitive. It's very intuitive."
"Defender is a robust platform for dealing with many kinds of threats. We're protected from various threats, like viruses. Attacks can be easily minimized with this solution defending our infrastructure."
"The security alerts and correlated alerts are most valuable. It correlates the logs and gives us correlated alerts, which can be fed into any security information and event management (SIEM) tool. It is an analyzed correlation tool for monitoring security. It gives us alerts when there is any kind of unauthorized access, or when there is any malfunctioning in multifactor authentication (MFA). If our Azure is connected with Azure Security Center, we get to know what types of authentication are happening in our infra."
"The first valuable feature was the fact that it gave us a list of everything that users were surfing on the web. Having the list, we could make decisions about those sites."
"It takes very little effort to integrate it. It also gives very good visibility into what exactly is happening."
"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."
"Defender is user-friendly and provides decent visibility into threats."
"It has seamless integration with any of the services I mentioned, on Azure, such as IaaS platforms, virtual machines, applications, or databases, because it's an in-house product from Microsoft within the Azure ecosystem."
"It has the best EDR functionality for cloud and typical endpoints."
"The most valuable part of Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is its dashboard, as it's simple. It's easy to manage, and you can better control the solution."
"Detection response and cloud conformity are valuable features."
"I really like Trend Vision One - Cloud Security's dashboard."
"Trend Vision One - Cloud Security's best features are security analysis, remote access security, and driver security."
"The storage and computing features are valuable."
"The security is good."
"I like the conformity and workload security modules. Workload security is all about intrusion detection and prevention. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has behavioral rules that are auto-populated based on organizational structure. That's one aspect that we liked most."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"I would like additional integrations."
"Another thing is that Defender for Cloud uses more resources than CrowdStrike, which my current company uses. Defender for Cloud has two or three processes running simultaneously that consume memory and processor time. I had the chance to compare that with CrowdStrike a few days ago, which was significantly less. It would be nice if Defender were a little lighter. It's a relatively large installation that consumes more resources than competitors do."
"The documentation and implementation guides could be improved."
"Microsoft Defender could be more centralized. For example, I still need to go to another console to do policy management."
"The initial setup is not actually so complex but it feels complex because there are many add-ons. There are many options and my team needs to be aware of all of these changes happening on the backend which is a distraction."
"The solution's portal is very easy to use, but there's one key component that is missing when it comes to managing policies. For example, if I've onboarded my server and I need to specify antivirus policies, there's no option to do that on the portal. I will have to go to Intune to deploy them. That is one main aspect that is missing and it's worrisome."
"I felt that there was disconnection in terms of understanding the UI. The communication for moving from the old UI to the new UI could be improved. It was a bit awkward."
"One of the main challenges that we have been facing with Azure Security Center is the cost. The costs are really a complex calculation, e.g., to calculate the monthly costs. Azure is calculating on an hourly basis for use of the resource. Because of this, we found it really complex to promote what will be our costs for the next couple of months. I think if Azure could reduce the complex calculation and come up with straightforward cost mapping that would be very useful from a product point of view."
"Microsoft can improve the pricing by offering a plan that is more cost-effective for small and medium organizations."
"Trend Vision One - Cloud Security could improve connections with different types of authentication and user groups concerning cloud services."
"One area for improvement in Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is marketing; in particular, Trend Vision should update the marketing documentation. The information needs to be more comprehensive."
"The local agent should be able to show more logs. At present, the logs are only available from the web console and not from the local agent."
"The initial setup can be complex for the inexperienced."
"The pricing can get high."
"The firewall configuration should have been automated based on the understanding of the application, utilities, and protocols."
"Trend Vision One - Cloud Security should address threats automatically without having user input."
"The licensing model could be improved. To gain full coverage, you need to spend more to buy subscriptions for each kind of service they offer. It will start to be pricey if you want full coverage."
