We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence and Microsoft Purview Information Protection 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 tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"The user interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"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 UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is evolving and needs to fix and enhance numerous issues like stability and licensing. The continuous rebranding and licensing changes are confusing."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
"There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"The price could be improved."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
