A cost-effective solution for monitoring and security but lacks supports for non-Microsoft products
There are weaknesses, and Microsoft is working on addressing them. Over the past three to four years, the ATP and other components have improved significantly, and the integration has also advanced. We are using third-party services. While we have Microsoft Threat Intelligence, which leverages Microsoft's facilities, we also utilize additional third-party threat intelligence. As of today, we don't completely rely on Microsoft for certain regions. This is an area where Microsoft needs to improve. Consequently, we use Anomali, a third-party threat intelligence provider. We integrate our product's intelligence with Anomali, from which we obtain threat insights. Microsoft products offer significant advantages, especially in the realm of threat intelligence. It works very well with Microsoft products. However, you might need additional services if you have non-Microsoft products in your environment. For instance, if you use Apple or Linux, Microsoft's solutions alone might not be sufficient. If they can work more effectively, especially with zero-day attack speed and other sophisticated threats, it will help us provide our customers with timely newsletters about new attacks.

Enhancement in incident response through reduced false positives and contextual intelligence
ThreatBook has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to detect all alerts and threats effectively. In the past, we needed to search logs from various sources, including terminals, DI servers, and firewalls, collecting a lot of logs and searching the internet for contextual information about threat actors. After using ThreatBook TDP, all alerts and contexts are easily displayed on the dashboard, making it very helpful for us. During the incident response scenario, ThreatBook saves us over 80% of the time for each incident. We usually took about one day or two days for attribution and understanding how the attacker attacked us, but after using ThreatBook TDP, we usually take around one or two hours to finish all these tasks. Additionally, their AI techniques save a lot of time, allowing me to ask in natural language for explanations about the meaning and target of the attacker.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"Microsoft's integration into the security stack works quite well."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"It helps to monitor by providing the best 24/7 monitoring integrated with Sentinel and IBM systems."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the insight it provides."
"ThreatBook saves us over 80% of the time for each incident."
"ThreatBook saves us over 80% of time for each incident, reducing the usual time taken from one or two days for attribution to just one or two hours, thanks to their AI techniques."
"ThreatBook Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted our organization by helping us generate the strategic threat focus reports and aiding us in decision-making, leading to improved cybersecurity operation efficiency."
"We have not suffered from any attack for the past few months, which has relatively improved our network security."
 

Cons

"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"Non-Microsoft products may not integrate as smoothly."
"The price could be improved."
"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."
"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."
"Some of the customization features could be improved by providing a portion of it as open source."
"I would like to see more frequent updates, which is always better for security because of daily threats."
"We’ve seen strong ROI through reduced incident response times, increased threat visibility, and less time wasted on false positives."
"It would be great if ThreatBook could integrate with our ITSM system to streamline the tasks and incident management"
"ThreatBook Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by providing more integrations to support additional platforms."
"I hope that ThreatBook can integrate a feature where if I detect any internal compromised hosts, I can block or isolate those compromised hosts within my internal network; that would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
"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."
"The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
"It's reasonably priced, though there's room for further improvement."
"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
"Considering Microsoft is constantly changing licensing, I would give it a seven out of ten. It can be difficult to get your head around it, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)."
