Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Cloud App Security
Our organization started to expand further with more people joining and diverse types of devices being used, as the world shifted due to the pandemic, and with employees need to use their own personal devices for work, we relied heavily on Microsoft Cloud App Security (Now Called Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps), we were concerned with app security, what type of apps are people using? are these apps secure? are these apps compromising the device security? should this app be trusted? are there any invalid attempts by this app? all these questions were answered with Cloud App Security. Not only that, the visibility provided by the Cloud App Security connector for internal network authentications and activity were invaluable to our secure operations, the out of the box recommendations for our overall security posture helped us optimize/fine-tune the configuration of our network devices and domain controllers, the product works really well!

We had a past experience with Microsoft ATA, one of the engines that Cloud App Security now uses to provide insights on internal threats, Microsoft ATA was discontinued and all of its features became part of the Microsoft Defender suite, surely, Cloud App Security and the Microsoft Defender Suite provide way more features and capabilities. We didn't spend much time deciding [on] Cloud App Security, we already had Azure, Office 365, and Defender for Endpoint, Cloud App Security was the right decision with the blend of products we already have and its integration with the rest of Microsoft Security products makes it a valuable addition.
