We performed a comparison between 360 Safeguard and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"The most valuable aspect is information, specifically the automatic investigation of packages."
"This is not an inventory solution, but it helps you take count of how many workstations you have, as well as what software is installed on each of them."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"The biggest benefit to Windows Defender is that it is built-in to the operating system by Microsoft."
"The attack surface reduction rules are the most valuable. We're able to have unattended remediation actions when the solution works side by side with a local antivirus like Microsoft Defender or Kaspersky. The attack surface reduction rules help us to proactively block and stop threats."
"Its threat intelligence feature is beneficial. This solution smoothly integrates with SIEM."
"I find the vulnerability management section of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to be very useful for organizations."
"The solution provides protections and reports about strange behavior and automatically blocks some of it. I love the way that statuses are represented."
"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"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 should support non-Windows products better. Microsoft is now one of the leading vendors in the security area. So, they should be product-independent."
"If the solution could be integrated more with Defender for Cloud, to be more unified, that would help. It is good now, but even more integration could be done with Defender for Cloud. We see two different portals. If Defender for Endpoint could be ported to the CSPM, Defender for Cloud, that would make things even easier for us."
"They can improve it on the online protection front since people nowadays are moving online and working from home."
"The scanning is slow when it is working with incoming emails."
"From an audit point of view, our auditors would like to have more reports on how things are used, if things go wrong, and how they went wrong. For example, if something got a warning, "Why?" So, we would like more versatility for tracing and reporting. That would improve the product, as long as the user interface doesn't get bogged down."
"There's scanning going on that occasionally topples the memory, causing everything to freeze. This should be fixed."
"In active mode, it's great that it gives you so much information, but it does record every keystroke so you have a lot of logs... that amount of data logging started to add up in the cost."
"Something that is unique to Microsoft is its licensing model. When you go out and you buy McAfee or Symantec, you know what you're getting out of the box, but with Microsoft, often, when you're looking to achieve a certain set of capabilities, those capabilities are spread across different products. You might try to do something you could do with CrowdStrike, but then find out that you also need to purchase Microsoft Defender for Identity or Microsoft Defender for Azure. You realize that when they talk about what they can offer within the Microsoft platform, it's really the suite of investments. So, sometimes, you may find yourself buying Defender for Endpoint thinking that it matches CrowdStrike, but then you find that Microsoft really needs to sell you something else. One plus one will equal three, but when you have a very concise platform, such as CrowdStrike, you know what you're going to get."
