## Reviews

### "Above average cloud security tool from Microsoft" — 5.0/5

> **Chanaka** | *17 August 2021* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that Windows is equipped with a cloud based security tool which works well with windows unlike third party applications with compatibility issues. And constant debugging with constant updates gives higher security for users. And can monitor users, activities and behavior easily. Also with the latest updates security have been enhanced by identifying for suspicious user activity and advanced attacks.
> 
> **Cons**: Although microsoft defender for identity works great as a cloud based security tool, there are some complication when working with data outside the cloud.
> 
> Working on cloud databases, enhanced security is a must for me, and Microsoft defender was fast and efficient to use as the main security tool. And with less compatibility issues with Windows operating systems, I think this was the better application for me.

### "Cost effective adaptable security solution" — 5.0/5

> **Alexis** | *25 August 2021* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The free trial then low priced plans definitely are plus as well as the ever evolving "learning" software that can monitor, infer, and alert of any potential threats to a website allowing the end user to block IP addresses, adjust firewall settings, and protect all sensitive information.
> 
> **Cons**: As with anything "cloud based" there's always a threat of shutdown when software is not "in house". There are also a few proxy authentication issues, however Microsoft has done an excellent job of breaking these down and suggesting solutions on the Microsoft website.
