We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"The product's scalability is good."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"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 rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten."
"They have a very transparent roadmap for the product."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"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."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
