Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very easy to scale because it comes built-in with Windows 10, and you just need to enable it. This can be done on scale using group policies or through Endpoint Manager on cloud or Intune."
"The stability keeps getting better and better."
"The investigation aspect is the most useful. It's user friendly and has a good user interface."
"We are able to productively integrate with existing on-prem, hybrid, or cloud applications."
"The performance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has been a valuable feature."
"The protection that it provides is quite good."
"The most valuable aspect is information, specifically the automatic investigation of packages."
"We have just started to implement it. It is useful for protection from malware and ransomware."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"The analysis part is good."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"Phishing and Malware detection could be better."
"Defender is free for one year. Once that year is over, we will switch to Kaspersky."
"The deployment of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Windows 10 is not quite so straightforward. This could be made easier."
"The central management console should be improved because it provides limited options to configure Windows Defender."
"The anti-ransomware features need to be improved upon."
"A concern is ransomware, whether people can penetrate and encrypt my data or steal my credit card/banking information."
"It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions."
"It should support non-Windows products better. Microsoft is now one of the leading vendors in the security area. So, they should be product-independent."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
