A time-saving and easy-to-integrate product that needs to offer a control center to users
As a part of Microsoft's attempt to reduce costs, there has been a direct cut down of the local technical support team. Sometimes, you have to use the technical support offered by Microsoft from other countries, but at times, we speak different languages, just like how people speak in Chinese or Mandarin, but there are still some differences between them. The front-line support from Microsoft has only limited technical abilities or access to their internal system. Sometimes, my company cannot even escalate an issue to Microsoft's senior team members. The support team of Microsoft is nice as they attempt to solve the problems together with you, but I believe that due to some cost-related issues, they don't have enough permissions. Sometimes, users might feel blocked when trying to connect with the support team. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Provides great visibility, saves us time, and integrates well
The dashboard provides great visibility into our risk profile. We receive a daily email report that outlines our risk score and identifies the machines with the highest risk. This information is based on usage patterns, vulnerabilities, and non-compliance issues. This helps us prioritize which machines require patching or further investigation. Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit. While we don't track specific website URLs, we can categorize website types and identify any potentially risky or inappropriate usage patterns. This allows us to proactively address any potential security concerns. For instance, we identified a user who was using ChatGPT for work-related tasks. This flagged our system, and we were able to discuss the user's usage of ChatGPT to gain a better understanding of how our users are working and identify any areas that require additional attention.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"The timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"We also use Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, Defender for Identity, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. They are all integrated and it was very easy to integrate them. In my experience with the integrations, it was just a click of a button and things were integrated. It's just a button."
"The best feature is probably the alert generation. When I do a security reset, the other session triggers instantly from the Defender console, and I can work on it. The policies are three times, but they are also ready to install it."
"Microsoft Defender's most critical component is its CASB solution. It has many built-in policies that can improve your organization's cloud security posture. It's effective regardless of where your users are, which is critical because most users are working from home. It's cloud-based, so nothing is on-premise."
"In our company,we have faced multiple attacks over the last few months, but none of them have been successful, and I think Microsoft Defender XDR has played a major role in it."
"The 'Incidents and Alerts' tab is a valuable feature where we can find triggered alerts."
"A crucial aspect for our team is the inclusion of identity and access management tools from the vendor."
"The user interface is very good."
"I appreciate the value of real-time activity monitoring."
"I'm satisfied with the level of coverage. The policies have been very useful and detailed."
"The workbench alerts provide valuable insights into attack chains and relevant information, while Observer techniques give a comprehensive overview of ongoing activities."
"XDR provided a much more deep view into what is actually happening."
"Its detection rate is valuable. It is really an easy product to install and manage. It is quite effective at what it does, and if needed, it can also be co-managed, which means 24 hours and seven days a week monitoring through a SOC."
"It is a stable product. It works very well."
"Trend Vision One offers centralized visibility and management across all protection layers, providing a holistic view of our environment and enhancing visibility across the entire infrastructure."
 

Cons

"When discussing the secure score, which includes overviews and recommended actions, some of these recommended actions are not applicable to us, particularly those related to Microsoft Internet Explorer, which we do not use in any of our environments."
"The interface could be improved. For example, if you want to do a phishing simulation for your employees, it can take a while to figure out what to do. The interface is a bit messy and could be updated. It isn't too bad, but doing some things can be a long process."
"Correctly updated records are the most significant area for improvement. There have been times when we were notified of a required fix; we would carry out the fix and confirm it but still get the same notification a week later. This seems to be a delay in records being updated and leads to false reporting, which is something that needs to be fixed."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is not a full-fledged EDR or XDR."
"The only issue I've had is, when it comes to deployment, the steps I must take around policy setup. That is challenging."
"The documentation on their website is somewhat outdated and doesn't show properly. I wanted to try a query in Microsoft Defender 365. When I opened the related documentation from the security blog on the Microsoft website, the figures were not showing. It was difficult to understand the article without having the figures. The figures were there in the article, but they were not getting loaded, which made the article obsolete."
"The price should be adjustable by region."
"Microsoft Defender is slow to adapt to evolving threats."
"The SOAR features (Security Playbooks) are quite limited."
"Vision One generates numerous false positives, forcing unnecessary investigations and highlighting a need for improved filtering options."
"We do use the automation capability a little. However, we noticed some limitations, especially on the playbook side."
"The product needs to have a lot more maturity, and they need to improve the overall technical support framework for getting the value out of XDR."
"The solution lacks compatibility with other products. It needs to integrate better with other surrounding solutions."
"The integration with third-party tools and with on-premises Active Directory needs improvement."
"The solution could always be made to be more secure."
"The agent system is very slow, it needs to improve its performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Purchasing Microsoft Defender XDR as part of a Microsoft 365 bundle can be cost-effective, but acquiring it as a standalone product may be more expensive."
"The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
"It is 15 dollars per server per month. It is worth it, but it can be costly. It depends on the company's size."
"I believe the pricing is fair and acceptable. I consider it to be reasonable and satisfactory."
"Defender plan 1 is tenant-wise, and Defender plan 2 is per-user, which makes it more expensive. To have certain features, you would need to purchase the E5 license. For all of the capabilities that the tool provides, the price, though it can be high, is fair."
"The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
"They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."
"Understanding the subscription model has been a bit challenging, as every feature or requirement comes with an additional cost."
"The pricing is competitive, and the cost aligns with the features we receive."
"It's relatively well-priced."
"Trend Micro XDR has a good price, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of price."
"It would be nice if it was a little bit cheaper, but I think it has a fair price. It is comparable to others in the market."
"We have an annual subscription and I believe there is no option for monthly billing at the moment."
"From a pricing standpoint, they're a really good negotiator and they'll work with you."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"Trend Micro XDR is reasonably priced for its value, comparable to other products like VMware Carbon Black."
