What differentiates Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps from other similar products?

The company lacked a product that met all the requirements we needed to fix all the existing security issues, so they recommended Microsoft Cloud App Security and it really helped us a lot.

At the moment we are free of threats and we have everything more controlled, so all of us who are working feel satisfied and we obtain more production in our day to day, there are no complaints about this product.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Everything we have obtained from this product has been profit, our company managed to stay free of threats in a short time, due to all the ability it has to analyze the data very deeply, avoiding any violation that is intended to be done in the company.
