"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the insight it provides."
"I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"It takes time for the support team to understand the issue, and they then respond with a delay at times, which causes a lot of trouble."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"I would like for there to be extra confirmation that there aren't viruses. Even if the virus detection software is always running there could be hidden applications that are using the computer."
