Nim Nadarajah - PeerSpot reviewer
A native Microsoft solution the provides great ROI and continuously improves its offering
We have Microsoft bias. We generally don't have any significant negative feedback or improvement points around Defender, EDR and CMDR platforms. It does a good job across the board. The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5. I believe it's a $2.80 cents add-on. In Canadian, that's expensive. If they can drop it to a dollar, for those who don't have M 365 E5, they're going to open up market share and increase affordability for an entire market segment in the medium business category. Other than that, we have no major negative feedback.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the insight it provides."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes."
"I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product is stable."
"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."
"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."
"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."
"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."
"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."
 

Cons

"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"A stable licensing model is absent"
"Some of the customization features could be improved by providing a portion of it as open source."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."
"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."
"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."
"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."
"The solution needs to improve integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"I rate the product's price a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"It is an expensive product."
"The product is a part of my Microsoft 365 subscription, so there is no additional cost. It is cost-effective."
"The solution can be licensed, but most users would already have it in their Office 365 license."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
"Currently, the license number of lookups that we purchased has not been reached yet, because the integration has only recently been completed. However, our usage is expected and planned to increase over the next couple of months."
"We have a yearly contract based on the number of queries and malicious programs which can be processed."
