"The Awesome Dashboard and Real-time Monitoring"
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?

Microsoft Defender for Cloud has become my go-to buddy for keeping my cloud secure. It links up smoothly with Azure, giving me the scoop on security across my mixed setup. Dealing with threats is like having a digital superhero – quick and ready to handle any issues. The real-time monitoring feels like having a watchful friend, keeping me in the loop and helping me sort out problems before they get out of hand.

What I really appreciate is the compliance dashboard – it's like having a personal assistant making sure my setup follows the rules, especially with the data protection and industry standards. And the user interface? It's like a friendly guide, making me feel like I've got this security thing under control.

It's not just tech talk; it's the peace of mind I need for my cloud world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?

The user interface, my friendly guide, can be a bit too chatty, overwhelming me with information that I don't always need. Sometimes feels like it's playing catch-up in the ever-evolving landscape of threats. Its approach is straightforward, but there are moments when I wish for a bit more finesse in handling the challenges we face. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
