Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Reviews

We use the product to capture the logs, collect data, and understand patterns.

The product provides smooth functioning for our service desk and the technical team. It helps in efficiently generating reports to update the management.

There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation.

We have been using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for more than a year.

The product has high stability.

The product has high scalability.

The technical support services are excellent.

The initial setup process is straightforward. It took us three months to deploy.

We implemented the product with the help of an integrator.

Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence generates a good return on investment.

The product’s pricing is worth it.

I recommend Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

We use the product for endpoint security of machines. It includes threat detection, defining compliance rules, and governance policies. It helps us with extracting reports as well.

The platform ensures that the environment is fully protected. Its operational excellence helps us reduce resource costs. We do not need a large team to manage security. The subscription models provide monthly and short-term -plans. We can the number of items scale according to the requirements, and dynamically adjust resources during lean periods. It doesn’t require us to purchase long-term licensing plans.

The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously. It doesn’t require additional power for processing similar to other products.

One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems.

We have been using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for five years.

We have 7000 Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence users. It scales automatically depending on the requirements. It is a highly available application.

The technical support team responds immediately to the queries.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. It has a good amount of documentation available to refer to the steps. It is a cloud-based application and thus, easy to implement compared to an out-of-the-box version. It can be deployed on endpoint devices as well.

The product has multiple subscription models. The pricing is expensive, but it is justifiable considering the amount of threat-related information it provides.

The platform is built for threat detection and protection. It saves the environment from zero-day attacks. It offers an intermittent mechanism for new operating system updates. It can be integrated with many enterprise-grade solutions. We can build APIs and explore the logs as well.

Microsoft Defender has played a crucial role in addressing security incidents related to auditing and compliance within our organization. During audits, a common requirement is to ensure that the environment is fully patched, updated, and compliant with all necessary security measures. With Defender in place, it allows auditors direct access to relevant reports, and verify them.

I advise others to use the product if they are planning to move to a cloud environment. It gives a sufficient amount of information or threat intelligence data.

I rate it a nine out of ten.

We use the software to scan malware for email attachments by identifying and blocking phishing emails.

The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes.

The software is expensive.

We have been using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for almost a year now.

The software is stable, similar to Office 365.

We have 400 Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence users. It is a scalable product. However, the cost increases as we increase the number of users.

We receive technical support services via the integrator as well as the vendor.

The software is deployed on the cloud. The setup requires technical knowledge or assistance from the integrators.

The product generates ROI for securing the company resources at minimum cost. We don't need to employ two to three analysts for this purpose.

It is an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license.

We evaluated a few products before.

I rate Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence a ten out of ten.

It can be used as an API solution to sign and send threat intelligence to a security operations center (SOC). This allows the SOC to detect and respond to threats more effectively.

Detection is good—also, analytics based on Gartner.  The solution is also well integrated with other Microsoft security products.

I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions. 

I have been providing this solution for one year. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. We do not have a large number of users using the solution because it is not the technician's preferred solution.

We have around ten end users using this solution. 

There is no problem with scalability. The solution has a capacity of up to 10,000. 

Customer service and support are very good.

The initial setup is very easy. It just takes a few days. 

The deployment process is simple. We used Microsoft Intune, Microsoft's software distribution tool, to deploy the solution to our endpoints.

We only needed one technician for the deployment. One to manage without interrupting and to manage this solution. All our technicians manage the platform for accounts.

The ROI is good because the solution provides good protection. The solution can help you to prevent data breaches, which can save you a lot of money.

Usually, the licensing cost is yearly. But we got the solution through a solution distributor's agreement which usually helps. There are no additional costs. 

I surely recommend using this solution. The strongest point is integration capability with other Microsoft products. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.  

We primarily use the solution not necessarily from a user point of view. Rather, we use it from an admin point of view. For example, the Log4j vulnerability. Last year, they released threat intelligence information on that vulnerability, put out the protections quickly, and updated their TVM module. It can easily identify what things are vulnerable and what assets you have that are vulnerable to attacks.

They seem to be pretty up to date with the latest threats in the world. That's a pretty good aspect.

The threat intelligence piece is pretty good.

The user interface is pretty user-friendly.

The integration integrates across the whole Defender suite, so that's pretty good.

It's very straightforward to set up.

The product scales well. 

I cannot recall any issues we've encountered or areas that need improvement.

Technical support could be a bit better. 

Clients might prefer a lowering of the price. 

I've used the solution for probably over four years. 

The stability has been pretty good. I'd rate it nine out of ten in terms of its reliability. The performance has been great. 

It's very easy to scale as needed. 

We're across the Defender Suite. In terms of analysts that use it, there are five of us.

Technical support is okay. It could be better. 

Neutral

We pretty much use all Microsoft, so not much else is used. We use 

Defender for everything, so Defender for the cloud app, Defender for Cloud, Defender for Android and Defender for IOS, Defender for Identity, and others. We also use Microsoft Sentinel. It's all Microsoft stuff.

The solution is very straightforward. It's easy to set up. 

It's bundled into an E5 license, so it comes with a bunch of other things as well. I'd say it's fairly well-priced.

We did compare Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence with ESET and Kaspersky, among others. Defender is not necessarily better. However, it just suits our security strategy and risk appetite.

We have a partnership with Microsoft.

I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We employ this solution within our Office 365 environment, focusing primarily on email security through features like application guard, safe attachments, and safe URLs. This setup significantly aids our cybersecurity operations, helping us mitigate various threats. The team is designing a couple of policies and will revise the usage depending on the threat.

The solution has notably improved our IT operations by facilitating seamless integration with other Microsoft tools like Intune and Azure. This integration simplifies our IT management process and enhances our overall cybersecurity framework.

The most valuable aspects are its integration capabilities with other Microsoft products like Intune, Office 365, and Azure cloud applications. The intuitive user interface and reporting are also positive features of the solution. These features provide a unified experience, making it easier for our IT team to manage and navigate between screens efficiently.

While the current setup meets our needs, Microsoft can constantly improve customization and adaptability to rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats. 

The stability of the solution also requires some improvement. 

Future releases could benefit from enhanced predictive analytics tools and deeper AI integration to better predict and mitigate potential threats.

I have been using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for six months. My company has a partnership with Microsoft, giving us access to their latest security enhancements.

The solution is stable, scoring an eight out of ten, indicating a reliable performance with room for minor improvements.

Due to limited endpoints, scalability is not our primary concern currently. But as of now, the endpoints and the infrastructure we have are covered with the tools we already have. The existing setup adequately supports our needs without requiring significant scaling. Regularly, two hundred and fifty users use the solution.

We already have competent engineers on our team. While we rarely need external support or have raised a ticket, our interactions with Microsoft's customer service have generally been satisfactory, fulfilling most of our technical needs, if not all and the answers that we were seeking.

Positive

The setup was straightforward, aligning with our move towards cloud-based operations and authentication of our users and policies, thus simplifying the overall deployment process.

The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost.

Currently, we are only using Office 365 and Defender for Endpoint 32-bit. Previously, one from our management was a part of the trial, but not anymore. As we have layers of policies placed, they cover everything. 

Microsoft is very dynamic, and when it comes to their products, sometimes they change the licensing cost or the features. So, I think the product should have a license model. Since we read about Micorosft daily as users, we should be aware of the changes they bring. 

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

At our company, we use Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for vulnerability management. The solution's infrastructure and overall software are improving. 

A new valuable feature from the solution allows an user to close all tickets from a single console. At our company, we are also working on the CM side to analyze the solution's behavior and we have noticed that our customers prefer to use a single console. 

A stable licensing model is absent with Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. Implementation of the product can be difficult if the team on the customer's end is not willing to work on pilots. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

I am satisfied with the technical support provided for the solution. I would rate technical support an eight out of ten. 

Positive

I find the Sentinel solution, its Hunting feature, automation rules, and customization rules valuable. Our company sometimes recommends Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, and Fidelis instead of Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence because there have been fewer security incidents. 

The product can be easily implemented for customers who are already using Microsoft Cloud. For hybrid or on-prem customers of our organization, deployment is difficult. 

With Microsoft, at our company, we have one or three-year TCO, and we have to renew the license for this solution two times per year. I am looking to integrate a CRM product from Microsoft with the solution so that the pricing is more reasonable and transparent.

At our company, we are willing to integrate multiple Microsoft solutions: EDR for infrastructure and server end, another for vulnerability, and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for endpoint security, and we offer the same to our customers.

The implementation cost versus the license cost needs to be analyzed for Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. When some of our company's customers are not comfortable with Microsoft products, we provide them with a different option. 

Real-time threat detection usage of the solution depends upon the varying strategies and maturity of our organization's customers. At our company, we are implementing the mesh as well as cybersecurity laws. Our company is focusing on implementing observations instead of threat hunting with Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence.  

At our company, we are offering Sentinel solutions to Tier-1 customers. The integration capabilities of the solution have improved the security posture of our customers but it also depends upon the maturity. Few of the customers of our company are using an in-house solution so they are aware of the posture and the rating. Our organization offers solutions to the customers, but often, they develop their own road map for expansion. 

The actionable insights of the solution have aided in incident response by mitigating major attacks. Our company rarely utilizes customization options for the solution, as customers can start using the product comfortably in the default configuration. For vulnerability management with Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, our company needs to adapt and apply the processes followed by the customer's organization; there are limited opportunities for customization.

I would recommend the product to others. But as part of our company offerings, a pilot can also be provided to the customers for comparison on the KPIs. I am satisfied with the product as it meets all the expectations on the infrastructure and security aspects. A user should choose between Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence and other competitive products after verifying the feature expectations. 

I would overall rate the product an eight out of ten. The product can be effortlessly integrated with the existing system of cloud based customers. 

We use Defender Threat Intelligence for threat detection. 

The most valuable aspect is that it just runs in the background. I don't have to worry about its intelligence. It is easy to use. 

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. 

I have been using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence for three years. 

It is a stable solution. I rate the stability nine out of ten. 

The technical support is good. They are good at fixing any issues we have.

The initial setup is easy. 

The pricing of the solution is good. 

Overall I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
