Deployment is very easy and the configuration is excellent and the Apigee Sense is ready to go. The platform has an effective centralized Cloud monitoring capabilities and the data visual analytics that are generated are useful to the business production. Excellent portals and the features are easy to custom when starting with the platform and the project documentation tools are reliable.

So, for companies that are strictly Microsoft-based for PCs, it's a good thing for them to have. Some that are more Mac-based or Linux-based have some gaps, and I think there are some gaps in the availability of vulnerability scanning for third-party software that gets loaded onto those machines. Microsoft does a really good job of scanning the products that are good for Windows devices, but they struggle a bit on the Linux side and a little bit on the Mac side. So I'd like to see them try to improve.

  • It's really well laid out, with an easy-to-use, accessible UI.
  • With Microsoft Defender for Cloud, it has everything you need with the Safelink attachment, the Safelink emails for URL, the way it scans those URLs and attachments within the product, and you're seeing the results. And that adds an extra layer of security for the user, so you feel comfortable knowing the product monitors those. That's something I really like about that product.

  • I think Microsoft Defender for Cloud could do a better job of making some of the security alerts easier to understand and easier to resolve.
  • Since there are some popular ITSM tools that a lot of companies use, I think Microsoft should make it a lot easier for Microsoft Defender for Cloud to integrate with the popular ITSM tools.
  • The should be a way for users to trigger their own scans for data security related events.

It is a great product that integrates nicely when running an Azure platform and even multi-cloud environment. Not looking for point-solutions but a suite that answers most requirements. It is very comfortable being able to use KQL, workbooks and automation that is native to the azure platform

My visibility is limited because I'm only doing very small pieces of what the overall org does. And also, we have limitations on what we're allowed to use. It's not like we get a new product as users or leadership level users, and everything is on, and we can just do whatever we want. We're very restricted in what we can use any tooling within the org because of the different levels of regulatory constraints we have, because of just the nature of who we are inherently. So that's why. I don't think it's necessarily the product. I think it's more or less of what we're able to do with the product.
