Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is its ability to bring together all the data, providing more information than just antivirus hits.""Endpoint's most valuable feature is deep analysis.""The performance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has been a valuable feature.""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.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are the ease of use and it was available within the operating system.""One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it.""Defender is stable, I haven't had any problems with viruses when using it, and it's easy to update.""I like Defender's reporting and logging features. The email alerts are also helpful. It's hard sometimes to sift through the email, especially if you're an IT firm managing hundreds if not thousands of endpoints, but we find email reporting useful. For example, last Tuesday, we learned of new vulnerabilities that were discovered as a result of the previous patches. The endpoints without those patches triggered alerts in Defender."

Cons
"If you have multi-cloud like Google and AWS, the native solutions are better for those particular cases.""The product itself does not necessarily need improvement, but the support and implementation of the product are the disaster cases.""If they integrate with the EDR then it will benefit this solution.""Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should have more transparency. In the latest edition of Windows, Windows 11, it is a compulsory requirement to connect to a Microsoft account, which in turn has implications for Defender. This should be removed.""The onboarding and deployment could be more user-friendly, and there is room to grow in some of the reports. I don't want them to be oversimplified or overly complex, but there is room for improvement in the reporting it can do. It's relatively minor.""Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's licensing is confusing. It has conflicting information on the website. We also faced integration issues with other systems. It makes laptops slower than traditional antivirus systems.""Lowering the price would be an improvement.""I am not sure if I will be using this product in the future because of the price."
