Blocks incoming threats on the local PC or any cloud-based threats
We have an available agent running on our PCs that sends us notifications. We have a team that looks through the console, identifies the threats, and determines what needs to be done. The solution enables us to be on top of any upcoming threats. The solution also helps us to be proactive before threats impact several users. Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend the solution to other users. They should evaluate other products before choosing Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. The solution is good, but there are better products than Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. I rate the solution between seven and eight out of ten for its accuracy and the timeline of the threat intelligence data provided by the solution. The main benefit of using the solution is that it works well with a lot of other Microsoft products we are using. Overall, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"It is easy to implement and is very scalable. It also comes with very good documentation. Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"It helps to monitor by providing the best 24/7 monitoring integrated with Sentinel and IBM systems."
"They have a very transparent roadmap for the product."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"The solution is one suite covering everything from email protection to threat intelligence and vulnerability scanning."
"The most valuable aspects are its integration capabilities with other Microsoft products like Intune, Office 365, and Azure cloud applications."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The product provides efficient email security for sending links and file attachments."
 

Cons

"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."
"I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with."
"Support must be improved."
"Non-Microsoft products may not integrate as smoothly."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"I would like for there to be extra confirmation that there aren't viruses. Even if the virus detection software is always running there could be hidden applications that are using the computer."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"The software is expensive."
"A stable licensing model is absent"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"It's reasonably priced, though there's room for further improvement."
"The solution can be licensed, but most users would already have it in their Office 365 license."
"They offer two license plans: Microsoft Defender for endpoints and Microsoft Defender for businesses."
"Microsoft's pricing structure involves annual fees."
"It is an expensive product."
"The product’s pricing is worth it."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
