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."Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"The user interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the insight it provides."
"It just runs in the background. I don't have to worry about, making sure it's Intelligence. So, you know, this kind of makes it very easy, have to worry about installing. It is easy to use."
"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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."
"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 could be improved."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
