Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."The malware feature is most valuable."
"The detection features are valuable, as is the fact that it is easier to port these logs into Sentinel. That is also useful for us. It is more comprehensive."
"The solution has good performance, I have not seen a problem."
"We can react to threats faster and stop them from spreading from one machine to another. It protects from suspicious email attachment downloads. It will lock down the SOC and the workstations."
"Defender is stable, I haven't had any problems with viruses when using it, and it's easy to update."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are the ease of use and it was available within the operating system."
"We like that it has a free version available."
"Microsoft's technical support is fantastic."
"It's stable."
"The configuration needs improvement."
"The profiling method currently in use is not very user-friendly and has ample scope for improvement."
"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 is secure but when it comes to security all solutions could improve security."
"Microsoft Windows Defender doesn't have a game mode."
"The anti-ransomware features need to be improved upon."
"The GUI is very complex and could be more user friendly."
"It is not very scalable from the eyes of an MSP because there is no dashboard that you can use to see all of your devices that have Windows Defender unless you have your own dashboard or an RMM tool to actually look at it. So, you might not get to know that a particular computer of a client is doing something, and it might have got a virus. That person might know that, but unless you set it up to actually send you the information, you won't get to know that. That's one of the things that is hard with Microsoft Defender. It is not made for the MSP world where you have one pane of glass to see all of your clients with Microsoft Defender on it unless your RMM tool already has that built-in and it can see the telemetry from Microsoft Defender."
"The interface isn't necessarily intuitive to a nontechnical person. You can get stuck in the little endpoint security portal. Sometimes, if you uninstall a competitive product, the end user doesn't always know if it's running or if they're protected even though it's silently running. There could be a notification, widget, or something that's resident on the screen for at least a bit, especially if you're doing remote support. You want to talk them through it, but sometimes, we're not allowed to look at the PCs we support."
