We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN.""The product's initial setup was very straightforward.""I like that it's stable and easy to access."

"Endpoint's most valuable feature is deep analysis.""The solution has good performance, I have not seen a problem.""We found that because the endpoint devices are based on Microsoft Windows devices and Windows Defender is integrated with the foundation and the core layer, it makes it more integrated and more agile in terms of responding to any security threats or changes or development""This software is easy to use.""Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization.""Microsoft Defender is always running. It is doing its job, so it is fine. I don't have any issues with the way it was implemented or how we are running it. We have been upgrading IT throughout the years, but there have been no issues.""One of the valuable features of the solution is the small updates that keep my machine relatively clean from any infections.""The best thing I like about it is its interaction with the other Defender products. It provides the ability to push telemetry up. It gives me endpoint visibility and allows me to take automated actions."

Cons
"The web center in 360 Safeguard could be better, so this is its area for improvement. 360 Safeguard could be more scalable, especially for big businesses.""In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward.""It could be more secure and compatible with other software."

More 360 Safeguard Cons →

"There are alternative solutions that offer a greater range of dashboard insights when compared to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.""It's not easy to create special allowances for certain groups of users. It can be a little heavy-handed in some areas where Microsoft has decided to lock a feature out, meaning they make it hard to make an exception... One company we work with needed to use about 20 different thumb drives for about 20 users. To make that exception for them was very difficult. In fact, you can't really make an exception. But what you can do is allow them to use it and, while it will still alert, you can actually suppress those alerts.""They should come up with pre-built inner workflows.""Right now, the solution provides some recommendations on the dashboard but we don't have any priorities. It's a mix of all the vulnerabilities and all the security recommendations. I would like to see some priority or categorization of high, medium, and low so that we can fix the high ones first.""It needs to improve the cybersecurity for lateral movements. For example, when a hacker tries to enter a machine, they try to get the password by doing a lateral movement.""One thing that was lacking in Defender was web filtering. Its web filtering wasn't as comprehensive. Sophos was a little bit better than Defender for blocking URLs or installing programs.""Lowering the price would be an improvement.""The product should reduce updates since it is hard to keep up."
