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

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

Pros

"I would rate Microsoft Defender ATP as nine out of ten."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"The product provides efficient email security for sending links and file attachments."
"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 saves us over 80% of the time for each incident."
"We have not suffered from any attack for the past few months, which has relatively improved our network security."
"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."
 

Cons

"A stable licensing model is absent"
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"Non-Microsoft products may not integrate as smoothly."
"It takes time for the support team to understand the issue, and they then respond with a delay at times, which causes a lot of trouble."
"It would be great if ThreatBook could integrate with our ITSM system to streamline the tasks and incident management"
"We’ve seen strong ROI through reduced incident response times, increased threat visibility, and less time wasted on false positives."
"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's reasonably priced, though there's room for further improvement."
"Microsoft's pricing structure involves annual fees."
"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)."
"It is an expensive product."
"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."
"The product’s pricing is worth it."
"The product has multiple subscription models."
"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
