We performed a comparison between Cybersixgill and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Recorded Future, Check Point Software Technologies, Microsoft and others in Threat Intelligence Platforms."They also provide some of the greatest notification capabilities. I put in a customer's company name and domain names, or sometimes I put in their IP addresses as a keyword. Once Sixgill collects information that includes those keywords, they then provide us email notifications. That means we can catch information related to our customers as soon as possible."
"The solution’s approach of using limited open source intelligence and focusing, instead, on the Deep Web and Dark Web is what seals the deal. That is why I like them. I have other tools that I can aggregate all the open source intelligence from. I value Cybersixgill because it provides access to things that no one else does."
"The advanced analysis has made our security operations more efficient. It has also potentially given us quicker access to data that we might not have otherwise located."
"To be diligent for the customer, we usually go into Cybersixgill Investigative Portal to analyze and search things. The solution tells us the reputation of cyber threat actors. So, if someone has a reputation of one, it is a really bad idea to care about what that person is saying. However, if you find someone with a reputation of nine, then there is a high probability that we need to address the problem. You can get information about these type of actors in Cybersixgill Investigative Portal. They have a huge collection, which is like having the rules/goals of the dark web and deep web without having to go there. Our analysts avoid going dark web because they have Cybersixgill Investigative Portal and can get the news from their browser, searching wherever they want."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"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."
"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 anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"Regarding their scraping abilities, things could be solidified. There are definitely improvements that could be made on the specificity for setting certain queries."
"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps. More data would be my suggestion because the platform is good and I have no complaints about the system. I think it is just a case of always trying to get more data sources."
"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing. For example, if someone was posting something, then ten second later, it was on the platform. Sometimes, it takes a minute or hours right now, depending on the forum."
"Sixgill has strong capabilities based on search queries, but there is some difficulty in using Sixgill. Their querying is very powerful but it can be difficult. It's not hugely complex but you need some skill to use Sixgill querying."
"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."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
