Featured Reviews

Charles Mokoena - PeerSpot reviewer
Mobility & IT Project Manager at Voicevine Pty Ltd
Has strengthened our ability to detect threats in real time and improved internal security decision-making
The features that I find most valuable in Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence include the Sentinel part of it. There are several features we've looked at, including Sentinel as well as extended Defender, which is XDR. I've used those two, and that's what I've found quite useful for us, especially in the hardening and analysis part of the whole threat analysis. We use the real-time threat detection features in Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. If it wasn't for that real-time threat detection on the vulnerability, I think we would not have survived the attack. The integration capabilities of Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence with other Microsoft security tools have benefited our organization's threat management process by initially being quite a challenge, especially coming from other security tools such as Fortinet and Check Point. However, once you've gotten used to it, it's quite easy and user-friendly. The dashboard, especially the threat analysis dashboard, is quite detailed in terms of providing a view of which areas in our environment need attention, making it quite useful.
Jaya Shanker - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Security Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans
We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Defender exceeds expectations, especially for someone who's flipping from CrowdStrike or Falcon XR; this is night and day."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence helps to make sure that our systems are intact and not vulnerable."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"They seem to be pretty up to date with the latest threats in the world."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"The product is stable."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"Tenable EP is a great overall product for our customers; it's great at helping customers to identify current risks, it helps customers manage their risk, users can effectively analyze risk and can assign team members to take a look at items as well, the solution is very easy to set up, technical support is very helpful and responsive, and the pricing is pretty good."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"There could be a better notification system."
"Non-Microsoft products may not integrate as smoothly."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"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 product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."
"The license needs to be reviewed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is good."
"The solution can be licensed, but most users would already have it in their Office 365 license."
"The product is a part of my Microsoft 365 subscription, so there is no additional cost. It is cost-effective."
"The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not very expensive."
"They offer two license plans: Microsoft Defender for endpoints and Microsoft Defender for businesses."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
"The pricing is fair."
