Microsoft Defender for Endpoint vs. Terranova Security Awareness Platform

Usually we had lots two platforms tasked with scanning exposures, anti-malware and provision for information and threat management. But with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint we have an all inclusive platform that even integrate with other Microsoft security apps such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud for enhanced threat insights and visibility.

Terranova Security Awareness Platform may be a good start for companies that want to onboard employees in Security Awareness programs. Integration is well done and full support is accorded. Managed services are really good for what you buy. Reporting is really lacking and you cannot except more than what the platform has. No exact roadmap is presented and nor real ETA for what to expect in the future.

Terranova Security Awareness Platform, compared to other products from the same line does very well in: 1. Managing services compared to: - KnowBE4 where managed services are very expensive and self configuring, managing is really painful - Microsoft Security, where those services are not provided but are simple to manage 2. Animated interactive modules. This option is not provided across other providers
