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."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."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency."
"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."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"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 tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"They have a very transparent roadmap for the product."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"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."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"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."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
