Allows for easy reporting of problems, valuable anti-phishing, and anti-malware support
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 lacks proactivity in assisting us with preparing for potential threats before they occur. While they employ a substantial amount of threat intelligence to preemptively prevent incidents, their effectiveness diminishes when it comes to delivering proactive threat intelligence alerts from Microsoft. Their focus primarily revolves around managing the internal environment. On the other hand, my other vendor, Check Point, along with my membership in MS-ISAC, supplements me with this type of information. The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement. It is adequate, but it doesn't match the quality of Proofpoint or Mimecast. However, it comes close in effectiveness. Plus, if we're obtaining it for free, investing in the other products seems impractical.

Helps detect and control data in the cloud
After integrating the Gatelet with a live environment, users experienced connectivity issues because they were not imported into the Symantec CloudSOC CASB. Currently, user import into the solution can only be done via CSV, which lacks good connectivity with Azure AD. Additionally, the cost is high, as you pay separately for each application and the number of users. While there are ongoing improvements, the functionality must catch up with other leading CASBs, such as Netskope, recognized as a top leader.
