Thorough incident analysis and seamless integration enhance security efforts despite some room for improvement
We tried the proactive threat hunting feature, but it was not a good experience with Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting. It created more trouble than expected with false positives and non-expected answers. We opened a support case with Microsoft and had an engineer work with our customer. They fixed it, but it was definitely not a good experience for the customer. The integration capabilities of Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting with existing security tools are quite easy because it's by design. It's only a button that, if you pay for the feature, you will have the ability. The value of detailed incident reports varies depending on the customers. Some say it helps in investigating, while others find it very interesting for proactive remediation. Potential users should try Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting to form their own view and improve their security posture. It can help address the lack of internal personnel if needed. Overall rating: 8/10

Users appreciate comprehensive threat management features and find management console straightforward
Regarding machine learning-based threat protection in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites, customers are not using that, so I am not taking any responses from the customers. If you want, you can drop me a mail, and then I will collect the information from my customers. I don't know about it, actually. I am a salesperson, not technical. Other than pricing, the areas of Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites that I would like to see improved or enhanced depend on cases. For approximately 1300 to 1200, it varies by case. When it involves 500 customers or 200 customers, it could go up to 900 and 1000 rupees. We win cases often.
