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 initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"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."
"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 benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"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."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"The price could be improved."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"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."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
