What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

The interface is reasonable for administration given what limited cability the product has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

There is a great deal to dislike. External Authentication Mechanisms doesn't support primary factors so MSFT forces me to try and go Passwordless "their way" -their implimentation of passkeys is not appropriate for enterprise use, it appears more consumer oriented. SAML integration is done through "federation" which is not granular the way Okta and every other SAML SSO is. In general the product is painful to set up, use and maintain. I haven't even started on the "hybrid" aspects with on Prem AD. It's like a sequel to a bad horror movie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you?

it satisfies our SSO requirements and allows us to integrate our cloud apps into SSO. It also serves as IAM although is a complete and utter mess to manage and maintain. Conditional Access is a recipie for spaghetti policy and job security for adminstrators who thrive off of uncessesarry complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

We use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on a very large deployment and most of the endpoints were previously running Cortex XDR. Defender provides high level of protections against cyber treats. Our GSOC team investigates incidents and deploys security policies via the Microsoft Defender portal. We were able to detect and stop cyber attacks in the very early stages and this helps us keep the environment clean. So far we haven't had any major incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

It takes a lot of training and constant learning, managing the security policies for all protection modules is a complex process. There is no Linux support at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Defender for Endpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us quickly and efficiently detect and stop cyber attacks. Integration through third party CTI platforms allows us to import EDL block lists and to assign risk scores to IOCs, which helps when investigating incidents in the Microsoft Defender portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Purview Information Protection?

The best part about using Microsoft Purview with Information Protection is how it strengthens organizational security while helping end users avoid accidental mistakes that could compromise valuable data. In our organization, it has become an essential safeguard. Plus, when integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite, it truly showcases the power of the Microsoft ecosystem, delivering seamless, end-to-end services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Purview Information Protection?

The challenging part of Microsoft Purview Information Protection is that while they offer baseline labeling, which we can set up to fit our organization's processes and workflows, auto-labeling and automated processes—like tagging documents with financial or critical data, or detecting credentials in email bodies—require additional licenses. Also, during the initial setup, we faced challenges understanding the internal process for naming labels, determining the impact of actions, and rolling out the solution to users. Without proper internal exercises and thorough discovery of requirements, it can be difficult to implement smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Purview Information Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Purview provides direct benefits by protecting our information systems and preventing organizational data misuse, such as accidental leaks or intentional sharing of sensitive business information. With real-time monitoring, we can immediately respond to incidents, trace the root cause, and identify responsible users. Additionally, it helps us learn from past cases and offer targeted awareness training to prevent future issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance?

Microsoft Purview has a host of tools that can be used to monitor and maintain information protection on a M365 Tenenat. It can be used to identify and manage highly sensitive data and encourage good informationn practises within the company. The use of labels to identify, educate and enforce company standards is particularly useful, as well as enforcing retention settings to ensure data is kept within a regional compliance law. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance?

It is a complicated tool and requires trained personnel to navigate the Purview portal. If it is accessed and managed by personnel not adequatly trainined in can have serious consequences with users prodictivity at risk. If I was to make one change it would be to ensure more safeguards around potential collaboration risks, with more warning about what the consequences of Actions that can be alligned with identified sensitive data. The other point I find with this is dealing with Microsoft Support can be painful, with the majority of the time the support person does not have the subject knowledge to effectively deal with complex issues that can arrise with this product. I have found Microsoft premium support to be better however that is not available to everyone who uses this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Purveiw is an Information Management tool which is used to identify and managed senitive data. The benefit is it can scan and automatically assess data on a particualr set of attributes set by the administrtator. There is a manusal apprach as well with the option to label commercially sensitive data that may not be as obvious due to its bespoke nature. The other benefit is the application of retention settings on data, ensuring not only that data is kept within ompliance guidelines, but it will also remove data no longer needed and maintaining cloud storage to keep only what is needed.
