We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect lies in its automation capabilities, particularly within security automation.""The intelligence mechanisms are good.""One of the features which differentiates it from other EDR providers is the Automated Investigation and Response, which reduces the workload of SOC analysts or engineers. They don't have to manually investigate each and every alert on the endpoint, since it does so automatically. And you can automate the investigation part.""It's not really visible for the user - which is a benefit.""It's one of the best antiviruses on the market.""Easy to understand and easy to set up endpoint security solution. It's a multifeatured product with web content filtering and automated investigation features. It also has a fantastic vulnerability management dashboard.""The main features of this solution are that it handles everything by itself and is well integrated.""I like the real-time protection features. Windows Defender will detect if there's a threat like a Trojan or something like that but Kaspersky lets it run normally."

Cons
"Windows Firewall is integrated with Windows Defender. Over the last few days, I have had a problem with defining a wildcard on Windows Firewall. For example, I wanted to pull out the connection of my program and install a software package with a lot of executable files. I wanted to prevent it from accessing the internet. I could not select executables by using a wildcard. I had to select a single executable with its full name.""I would like to see the next generation of the tool improved to work with other operating systems, like Linux.""In India at least, it seems to be a bit more expensive than other options.""The time it takes to implement policies has room for improvement.""With the XDR dashboard, when you're doing an investigation and you're drilling down to obtain further details it tends to open many different tabs that take you away from your main tabs. You can end up having 10 tabs open for one investigation. This is another area for improvement because you can end up getting lost in the multiple tabs. Therefore, the central console can be improved so that it does not take you to several different pages for each investigation.""More integration with different platforms is an area for improvement for this product, and should be included in its next release.""There are alternative solutions that offer a greater range of dashboard insights when compared to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.""I would like MDE to have the ability to isolate a certain amount of time on the timeline."
