It is beneficial in the GRC model.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

More Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Pros →

"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider.""Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature.""Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable.""If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access.""It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions.""It is a very helpful solution.""It works pretty well for us.""Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."

Cons
"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.""The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5.""The price could be improved.""The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced.""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.""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.""There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation.""Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."

More Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Cons →

"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS.""It's only good for a Microsoft environment.""Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area.""From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward.""They need to integrate more with security options.""I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam.""It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license.""There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."

  • "The product’s pricing is worth it."
  • "The solution can be licensed, but most users would already have it in their Office 365 license."

  • "The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
  • "I rate the product's price a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."

  • More Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Pricing and Cost Advice →

    Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is a comprehensive security solution that provides organizations with real-time insights into the latest cyber threats. Leveraging advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities, it offers proactive threat detection and response, enabling businesses to stay one step ahead of attackers.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
