We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are ransomware protection and access controls. The solution has helped us secure some folders on our systems from unauthorized modifications."
"DSPM is the most valuable feature."
"It's got a lot of great features."
"It's quite a good product. It helps to understand the infections and issues you are facing."
"It works seamlessly on the Azure platform because it's a Microsoft app. Its setup is similar, so if you already have a Microsoft account, it just flows into it."
"Defender for Cloud is a plug-and-play solution that provides continuous posture management once enabled."
"With respect to improving our security posture, it helps us to understand where we are in terms of compliance. We can easily know when we are below the standard because of the scores it calculates."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the insights, meaning the remediation suggestions, as well as the incident alerts."
"I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"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."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"The solution could extend its capabilities to other cloud providers. Right now, if you want to monitor a virtual machine on another cloud, you can do that. However, this cannot be done with other cloud platform services. I hope once that is available then Defender for Cloud will be a unified solution for all cloud platform services."
"No possibility to write or edit any capability."
"I would suggest building a single product that addresses endpoint server protection, attack surface, and everything else in one solution. That is the main disadvantage with the product. If we are incorporating some features, we end up in a situation where this solution is for the server, and that one is for the client, or this is for identity, and that is for our application. They're not bundling it. Commercially, we can charge for different licenses, but on the implementation side, it's tough to help our end-customer understand which product they're getting."
"I would like to see better automation when it comes to pushing out security features to the recommendations, and better documentation on the step-by-step procedures for enabling certain features."
"They could always work to make the pricing a bit lower."
"It needs to be simplified and made more user-friendly for a non-technical person."
"When you work with it, the only problem that we're struggling with is that we have 21 different subscriptions we're trying to apply security to. It's impossible to keep everything organized."
"I felt that there was disconnection in terms of understanding the UI. The communication for moving from the old UI to the new UI could be improved. It was a bit awkward."
"I would like for there to be extra confirmation that there aren't viruses. Even if the virus detection software is always running there could be hidden applications that are using the computer."
"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"The price could be improved."
