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

"The protection that it provides is quite good.""Defender should be fine for home use. It has all the basic functionality you need. I can't speak to how well it works as an enterprise solution because I'm not in the space.""It has Kusto Query Language (KQL), so we can use our own queries to find anything.""It's pretty easy to scale.""I've started to test it from the security point of view. There are plenty of features that are interesting, but at this time, the XDR functionality is most valuable. It is endpoint security on steroids.""I am using it for very simple purposes. It is perfect and quite effective. I have been using it for a while, and I have never had any virus infection, data leak, or other security breaches. It works fine for standalone purposes. If you log on to OneDrive, it has ransomware protection.""We have very good visibility on our endpoints. The level of information it throws back is helpful.""The ransomware and malware protection is the most valuable feature."

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.""It could be more secure and compatible with other software.""In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."

More 360 Safeguard Cons →

"Monitoring can always be better, onboarding can be a little bit faster, log collection could be easier, they could streamline the dashboard. They could maybe split it up into different workspaces and have the ability to segment groups a little bit more.""There are alternative solutions that offer a greater range of dashboard insights when compared to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.""Microsoft Windows Defender doesn't have a game mode.""The solution could use improvement on the interface.""It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions.""It can be more secure.""The solution can be more user-friendly.""We encountered some misbehavior between Microsoft Office Suite and Defender. We had issues of old macros being blocked and some stuff going around the usage of Win32 APIs. There is some improvement between the Office products and Defender, and there is a bunch of stuff that you can configure in your antivirus solutions, but you have several baselines, such as security baselines for Edge, security baselines for Defender, and security baselines for MDM. You have configuration profiles as well. So, there a lot of parts where we can configure our antivirus solution, and we're getting conflicting configurations. This is the major part with which we're struggling in this solution. We are having calls and calls with Microsoft for getting rid of all configuration conflicts that we have. That's really the part that needs to be improved."
