Customization limitations: While offering some configuration options, advanced users might desire more in-depth customization capabilities. Reporting complexity: Some users report challenges in generating detailed and customized reports. Vendor lock-in: Switching from Microsoft Defender to a different solution might be challenging due to its integration with other Microsoft 365 tools.
