Customization was not available before, but now there are many options. You can customize various features. However, there is still a long way to go regarding setting and seasons. Currently, the advanced features are perfect for Microsoft code. Defender and Second Agent Services are about integrating your team and security systems. You need to identify threats, zero-day attacks, and other issues before they occur. Your feeds and other tools can actively prevent security incidents. We have integration with Anomali and IBM. We use Microsoft, but on top of it, we have some additional pay. We use Microsoft 365 and cloud apps, and they are very strong. Overall, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

Since the solution is more linked with Microsoft products, it gives you notifications of vulnerabilities, threats, or attacks happening currently. It flags them, and you can break them down to learn which asset or process started it. You can configure the product to report the same situation or similar alerts as false positives and not flag them. They are part of the business application You can apply these rules to all the machines in the network because you would have similar users on other machines doing the same thing. If you see a threat or suspicious action, you can configure the tool to block the whole thing and apply the same rule on all the machines. Microsoft is the market leader, and it's already innovating, adding more features, and integrating everything with its other products. The solution provides value for money. Microsoft had a different version for small licenses and introduced a new licensing structure so that small companies could have additional features at less cost. Otherwise, they would have to buy a really expensive license for big organizations. Microsoft brought additional features into a small license for small and medium businesses. Microsoft keeps adding value to its products. With Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, you have one product and one console to see everything. You don't have to buy multiple products to look at different security aspects. Microsoft keeps adding features to the product that are more than enough to monitor your entire suite. Users have to learn the product and get free training and certification. It's always better to have training provided by the vendor. Very few market leaders invest in providing training. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Unless you have very complex requirements, if you are already paying for a Microsoft subscription, you should take advantage of Microsoft Defender. I rate it a nine out of ten.
The role of analytics in aiding the incident response process is good. It works completely fine, and our company gets help for it from Microsoft. Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is a good tool others can go ahead with if they want to use it, but they should not expect too much from it in terms of automation, especially when it comes to the patching part. The insights and details are provided in a good manner by the product. The integration capabilities of the product are good. In terms of the value derived from the use of the product in my company, I can say that it helps secure the perimeter and other elements of the cybersecurity portion, especially the development areas. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
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.

I contact Microsoft when we have to do negotiations or technical improvements. People considering buying security tools must take their time and not rush. They must consider their business requirements and what they want to achieve. They must ensure that they have considered everything that impacts the user experience. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
Three or four people are required for the solution’s maintenance. I recommend this solution. Since Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence provides a high volume of recommendations, there must be a methodology for prioritizing high-risk assets and sessions. Focusing on remediating these high-risk sessions is crucial. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
I rate Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence a ten out of ten. People planning to implement this solution can confidently choose it. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to renew my license because it's very cost-effective and rich in functionalities. It has more features than other vendors' applications.

The overall product is very good. I've worked with multiple operations using Microsoft's security suite, including Defender. Threat Intelligence is nice. It's flagged numerous security vulnerabilities, even some zero-days. Comparing it to other solutions, it often outperforms. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
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.
I wouldn't always advise my clients to exclusively rely on Microsoft products. However, they should derive maximum benefits from the licensing they pay for. For example, you can't simply purchase Defender on its own because it's bundled with the operating system. So, that question loses some relevance since you already have it regardless of choice. So, the value of Defender is already included with the operating system, and users don't have the option to choose whether to have it or not. However, you can explore other solutions to enhance the security of Windows 11 or Windows 10, such as cloud-based options. But I would suggest making the most out of Defender. If you encounter any limitations, then you can consider other technologies to fill those gaps. So, it's about maximizing the potential of Defender and, if necessary, supplementing it with additional technologies. You have the option to bolster the security of your Windows system with other solutions if needed, but Defender should be your primary focus. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten because it is bundled with Windows OS. However, it doesn't cover all threats, and it remains a target for threat actors. So, depending on your business needs and the specific areas where Defender falls short in delivering effective security, you may need to supplement it with other technologies to strengthen your overall security position.
