Has good integration with firewalls but has limited file extensions
The feedback I get from customers is that it's limited with the extension of files. It doesn't check every extension. Also, customers have some confusion about accessing the systems because sometimes it requires a different portal to access. It's good to have a different portal but sometimes they don't have access to this portal. So if you get the devices, get a subscription, you will need to deal with another portal instead of the traditional Cisco portal. 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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to implement and is very scalable. It also comes with very good documentation. Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"They have a very transparent roadmap for the product."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
 

Cons

"Support must be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's dashboard and incident reports functionality needs enhancement."
"A stable licensing model is absent"
"While the current setup meets our needs, Microsoft can constantly improve customization and adaptability to rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"Having up-to-date documentation and real-time reflections in all portals would be beneficial to keep users informed about any changes. Additionally, the frequent changes in Microsoft's UI and the movement of features between different products in the set pose difficulties."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
"It's reasonably priced, though there's room for further improvement."
"The product is a part of my Microsoft 365 subscription, so there is no additional cost. It is cost-effective."
"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
"Microsoft's pricing structure involves annual fees."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
