"Comprehensive Security with Minor false Positives"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?

I use Microsoft Defender for Cloud for endpoint protection, and I really appreciate that it gives a holistic view of attacker paths. It's great at protecting endpoints and helps us identify vulnerabilities in our environment. The initial setup is easy, which is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?

I'm not thrilled with the false-positive vulnerabilities. It's like some applications weren't in the endpoint, but Defender still identified vulnerabilities on those apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong Cloud Security Visibility with Useful Recommendations"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?

Honestly, the best thing about it is the Secure Score. It’s basically like a "health bar" for your entire cloud setup. Instead of digging through endless logs to figure out what's wrong, it gives you a clear percentage and a prioritized "to-do list" of how to fix things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Defender for Cloud is that the pricing and licensing can get confusing pretty quickly, especially when multiple plans and workloads are involved. It’s powerful, but sometimes it feels like you need extra time just to understand what features are included and what will generate additional costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
