Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Office 365 for all our sharing needs. We have SharePoint, we have various other apps like all the Office 365 apps and that's managed through our centralized CNR team and it also has Defender to protect all the employees accessing all the documents together.
Pros
- It has been seamlessly working for us. We have not faced any issue as an end user. I've not faced many issues around accessing my apps, securely accessing and I've also seen certain links being blocked if I do not have correct access based on the security level that is defined for each user.
Cons
- I would believe sometimes the links can be shared outside of the organization. I think that can be improved in the product. You can better manage how you share documents and you can better manage that centrally through the endpoints here.
Likelihood to Recommend
For an organization like us, it's a big organization, roughly around 7,000 to 8,000 employees, and we have people working from anywhere in the world. We are a remote-first company, so everyone's accessing from their home environments of Office 365. Securely managing so many users and giving them a seamless experience is what I've seen this product is doing well. Area for improvement: sometimes setting off the links can be a pain, it can block certain links. When users do have access, it can cause some issues there.
