We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance.""I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat.""The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender.""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.""Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected.""The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."

"For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment."

"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon.""We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems.""Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats.""I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution.""Scalability hasn't been an issue for us.""This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one.""The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products.""It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."

Cons
"The product must provide better malware detection.""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.""In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement.""This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products.""The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement.""Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab.""We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend.""The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"If they continue improving and enhancing this solution, it could be even faster and more accurate."

More Cofense Intelligence ThreatHQ Cons →

"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler.""The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive.""We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike.""The price is too high.""I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better.""We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved.""I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there.""The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."

  • "From the pricing point of view, like any other product in the market, there is scope for negotiation."
  • "Defender is a little bit more expensive as compared to others. We are in the manufacturing environment. So, we don't have a high budget for all of our endpoint devices. Its cost is a major concern for us."
  • "For licensing, it's usually a yearly package for customers who are subscribed to Office 365, but they can also pay on a monthly basis."
  • "Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is an add-on to the Office license. Many customers are purchasing this solution."

  • "The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
  • "I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."

  • "I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
  • "The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
