Azure Security Center Reviews

It really is a powerful piece of kit. Every security item you really need for your Azure deployment is at your fingertips and, if you're a novice, you can set what you need and the rest should take care if itself, and if you're an advanced user, you can fine tune almost anything required.

As is fairly common for MSFT cloud portals, the menu structure can be a bit labyrinthine and confusing until you get used to where things are. Performance isn't the best - it tends to be somewhat unresponsive but zippy once things load - but it gets better with each iteration. It finally doesn't feel like a beta release for public consumption. I would like to see more functionality with GPO and a way to manage devices more like an on-prem solution.

Do your homework and learn the well-documented ins and outs. Anything Azure doesn't follow the same logic and workflow as on-prem solutions, so admins new to Azure can easily get lost.

Doing support for a CSP, I find myself in Security Center often to help clients troubleshoot issues such as errors to their security policies that may have been fine when implemented but didn't scale very well as their consumption increased.

The dashboard itself, even the "basic" (or free) one you get out of the box gives you enough visibility and recommendations to start with. For example, enabling auditing on SQL databases (if you have any) or making sure your storage has is healthy and has encryption enabled.

The free tier, for Azure resources only, gives you:

* Security assessment

* Security recommendations

* Basic security policy

* Connected partner solutions

Moving to the standard or advanced tier gives you even MORE functionality such as:

* Just in time VM Access (a must if you use VM's but careful with pricing)

* Adaptive application controls

* Network threat detection

Not that I actually dislike it, but it is something that affects all cloud-based technologies or dashboards: you cannot get used to something as soon enough new features will be rolled out and the layout will change.

With more and more features being rolled out into GA this will be your daily battle with the portal, learning what's new.

Spend some time first with a trial subscription to get the hang of it, deploy some vm's get familiar with policies, and enabling features such as auditing and threat detection, then dive into your full subscription.

It lowers the TCO dramatically when implementing security solutions such as SIEM or FIM (this one is in preview as I write this)

I like the simple layout and easy usability of the software. It comes in two versions one is a free and other one is a advanced one. In free versions you get numerous advantages as security evaluation and endorsements which is pretty cool for a newbie and amazing security policies. Though I haven't used the advance version but definitely gonna purchase it sooner or later as it an amazing application for data security.

New features comes and goes just like the wind and at times its gets tricky to get back on the track!!

Providing extra security to the data and files. Also at times use it for deployment as it provides an amazing security!

There offers review of constant safety what it allows to see if the system is vulnerable and allows to correct them in time, in addition I can prioritize my alerts.

The version of test does not have all the functions and you have to buy the license to check if there works quite what offers..

It is of easy application and allows yourself to form it according to your needs, you prop if you are employed at the same cloud with several users podras identifies this who loading a virus.

Since several we have access to load information on the cloud there allowed me to protect and to detect the one who the person in charge of the virus.

Microsoft has the perfect combination of functionality and looks, and azure security center is no exception. It is the tool of all tools for network admins.

Some features are difficult to access due to the simplicity of the UI, and a customization option for your dashboard would be nice.

We are managing all of our azure instances and the problems they may have through ASC, and the benefits are myriad. Easier workflows, quicker response times, and notifications that tell you what's going wrong right as it happens.

Create security rules easily to safeguard your firewall. Also provides cloud security to keep all your important files and documents safe and secure.

User interface is not so intuitive for beginners. Free version offers very limited features which makes user buy the full version.

For me the ease of use, cloud security and features makes it a distinguished product.

The ease of use analytics and peace of mind not having to worry about viruses on Microsoft Subsystems, commerce and able to help efficency as to which attempts are thwarted as a bonus Microsoft offers free trials to those who are unsure. Totally recommend!

There's' not much to dislike about the solutions it's a rather solid system that runs in the background

Please give Microsoft Azure security Center a chance it offers ease of use and cutting edge industry grade security features firewall protection and customizability for wevery individual business

Ease of use

Efficiency

Cloud Security

The product has an immense capability of dealing with dynamic data centers which is very commendable

The navigation is a slight problem for me as a user. I feel they can work on the look and feel of the software along with better navigation keys which would be great for user interface

With the previous security tools, the security was limited to speed and accessibility

This has been taken care by this tool

For security, everything you need for Azure deployment is available. If you are a new user, there’s an automatic option. Or if you are an advanced user, you can manually choose almost everything required.

The test version has limited option of functions, and you have to buy license to check everything.

Use it for deployment. It benefits because of the simplicity, and how all things fit together in windows

Decent cloud security to keep sensitive files and documents safe. Provides extra protection and does its job to help manage multiple solutions all in one app

Seems a little messy on the design of the user interface. Not enough customizability and unique features to keep everything in check

Try to practice safe habits but this is a good backup

Just providing extra security for files

We use Azure to authenticate our active directory with Smartsheet and it works great

I do not have any issues with Azure and do not dislike anything about it

We needed a secure way to authenticate our active directory and this product did just that

Constant Safety which allows the software to catch malicious activity.

There is nothing to dislike about this software.

I would definitely recommend this product!

The simplicity, ease of use.

Has the option to create security rules for firewall

They can provide more in-depth security for all the services running within a instance or app
