Cons
"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension.""I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with.""Support must be improved."

"The product's dashboard and incident reports functionality needs enhancement.""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.""I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions.""It takes time for the support team to understand the issue, and they then respond with a delay at times, which causes a lot of trouble.""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.""The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."

It correlates the results with hundreds of millions of other analyzed malware artifacts to provide a global view of malware attacks, campaigns, and their distribution. Security teams can quickly correlate a single samples of observed activity and characteristics against millions of other samples to fully understand its behaviors in a historical and global context. This ability helps analysts effectively defend against both targeted attacks and the broader threats from advanced malware. Threat Grid’s detailed reports, including the identification of important behavioral indicators and the assignment of threat scores, let you quickly prioritize and recover from advanced attacks.
