MDCA helps to detect atypical and undesired activities occurring in cloud apps within the Azure AD / Microsoft 365 ecosystem. For example, malware uploaded into SharePoint / Teams / OneDrive, or bulk deletion activities.

No real time scan / auto scan option. The API limitations of the Azure API make this tool too slow to be usable. Hopefully MS is working to correct this.

Rely on a specific provider's infrastructure and services. This dependency may make it more challenging to switch to a different provider or migrate to a self-hosted solution in the future.
