Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Cloud App Security

Provides visibility into the access of apps and data.
Monitors users’ activities.
Classifies and protects sensitive information.
Ensures compliance.
  • Detect threats based on user activity logs.
  • Set manual and automatic alert remediation.
  • Implement activity policies.
  • Detect threats based on user activity logs.
  • It takes some time to scan and apply the policies when there is some sensitive information.
  • After it applies the policies, it works, but there is a delay.
  • It doesn't provide any way to scan Microsoft Teams when an external exchange of images is happening. You can always do the filtering on the documents during the chat, but if there is an image, then some kind of OCR capability is required to detect it. At present, there is no way [Microsoft Cloud App Security] can go and detect those kinds of images and alert us
  • There are certain regulatory requirements in our bank for personal data and confidential information that need to be monitored from a security standpoint. It is a regulatory and standard requirement to have such a solution in place.
  • From a security monitoring perspective, there is a productivity improvement and fewer human errors.
  • In terms of user experience, if users mistakenly put PI information or some kind of data, it can detect and alert them. From that aspect, it is doing the job, but we are using it from a security standpoint. I'm more from a regulatory environment, and there are security requirements that are enforced by regulators
  • It has good features which helps our organization to quickly fix challenges.
  • It depends on the requirements. Certain requirements are really complex.
  • The deployment itself is quite fast because [Microsoft Cloud App Security] is on the cloud, but there are a lot of requirements from the regulations and the bank's standards perspective.
pricing and flexibility and implementation is quite easy compared to other products.

Did Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps again?

Yes

The feature that helps us in detecting the sensitive information being shared has been very useful. In addition, the feature that allows [Microsoft Cloud App Security] to apply policies with SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive is being used predominantly. It is a kind of unified solution. As compared to other solutions such as Netskope, Symantec, or McAfee, it provides a more unified reporting structure. It also integrates with other technologies. We have Azure Information Protection, and it goes well with the solutions that we are already using.
