A tool that offers endpoint protection with low maintenance costs
Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is used by a lot of companies to cover areas like endpoint protection, cloud workloads, and Microsoft Office 365, making it a full-blown product The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool offers not just one but all of its features or tools…

User friendly with good documentation but needs to cover more non-Microsoft use cases
Non-Microsoft use cases are not very high. It's limited for now. They are continuously trying to evolve and trying to provide the latest right now. It is mature only on the more popular open source kind of applications or source tools. That is a limitation that it brings in. That said, if you already have a complete Microsoft stack then it will work really well. They still need more coverage on Microsoft Dynamics 365. It's an area they are still working on. The lineage data capabilities could be improved. They need data quality as a solution. They need to have that as part of their suite. If I want to drive governance and adoption, when it comes to dashboarding and understanding maturity, it still needs work. There are other better, more competitive tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"It gives you the opportunity to know your data and apply policies around it. If those policies are flouted, you can always track what's happening. You have options such as alerting the person who is committing that action, or you can take automatic action by blocking, for example, an email that is been sent externally. It's very useful."
"The best part is that I can create classifications per my requirements. I use it to classify multiple platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure, and different file sharing systems."
"Has a good interface and is reasonably priced."
"It's certainly easy to work with all Microsoft data sources like SQL Server, Synapse, and data lakes, but it also has great functionality working with Oracle. And of particular interest to us is the ability to pull data from Excel, CVS files, and other types of flat files."
"The ability to classify data quickly and effortlessly is arguably Microsoft Purview's most valuable feature."
"The data classification part of the solution is excellent, especially as it gives us an insight into our sensitive data within Microsoft 365."
"Microsoft Purview stands out for its automatic data recovery system, which prioritizes critical data for the fastest restoration."
"The data lineage feature stands out. It tracks where the data comes from and any changes made."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more frequent updates, which is always better for security because of daily threats."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is evolving and needs to fix and enhance numerous issues like stability and licensing. The continuous rebranding and licensing changes are confusing."
"The product's dashboard and incident reports functionality needs enhancement."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"Although you can explore the data, that creates a great interest in data lineage or the data flow. How does it go from a source to a platform to a Power BI report, for example? It is possible, to some extent, to see that with Purview, but the lineage feature requires some manual work on the development side or more work from Microsoft to improve on it."
"Privacy features should be integrated into the core product rather than offered as optional add-ons, as privacy is not a luxury but a fundamental requirement."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to Purview's data connector platform in supporting ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources."
"One area for improvement is the detection of data types. This is really important. It has some of that functionality, but I consider it very limited. Maybe they can add some custom programming or machine learning could be particularly useful for the detection of the nature of the data."
"he one thing it doesn't do is data quality."
"The Microsoft Purview data connector platform, which supports ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources, can be somewhat complex."
"The overall cost of deploying this solution could be better. It seems that middle and small-sized organizations are not completely happy with deploying this solution in terms of the cost. It would be good if they concentrate on the cost part."
"In terms of the competence of the tools with the Microsoft ecosystem, the product can do better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has multiple subscription models."
"The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
"Considering Microsoft is constantly changing licensing, I would give it a seven out of ten. It can be difficult to get your head around it, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product."
"They offer two license plans: Microsoft Defender for endpoints and Microsoft Defender for businesses."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not very expensive."
"The product’s pricing is worth it."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
"People often and unjustly say that Microsoft product pricing is not in the scope of reality, that it's just too expensive at times. I do not feel that is the case at all... If I'm able to let go of 30 to 70 percent of my IT administration staff, that makes up for a lot of money."
"The price is a little bit high, but it's worth the money because it has a lot of features."
"Microsoft Purview is a subscription-based service, so we need either an E3 or E5 license to use it."
"Aside from the complexity of the pricing model, the price itself is realistic. Features like AI components and automatic classification require additional licenses. Still, anyone can start using Purview with a basic E3 license if they're using Microsoft 365 and grow with additional licenses as needed. Overall, we're satisfied with the price."
"Purview is included in our Microsoft E5 licensing."
"Microsoft Purview requires a Microsoft 365 license and is included with an E5 license."
"Some people find the tier licensing system complicated, but it offers a lot of value for money if we use the features."
"Microsoft Purview is priced in the middle. It isn't the cheapest, but it isn't the most expensive. It's affordable compared to other public cloud services."
