Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""This product is flexible, and it is very easy to get updates from the Microsoft website.""I like the process visibility. This ability to visualize how something was executed is valuable, and the fact that Defender ATP is also linked to the threat intelligence that they have is also valuable. So, even if you have something that doesn't have a conventional signature, the fact that you get this strange execution means that you can detect things that are normally not visible.""This software is easy to use.""It's not really visible for the user - which is a benefit.""We are able to productively integrate with existing on-prem, hybrid, or cloud applications.""It's an enterprise solution that provides a centralized console and it supports all the platforms that we use, including Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, and Android.""It's stable."

Cons
"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 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."

More 360 Safeguard Cons →

"With increase of cyber threats and cybersecurity issues, I would recommend that the product be developed like an AI product with more features which can counter any threat in the coming eras.""Features like device inventory continue to lack essential workstation drill-downs showing the entire device information with the least effort.""There is no behavior analytics for devices and endpoints. There is no behavior-based protection.""There's scanning going on that occasionally topples the memory, causing everything to freeze. This should be fixed.""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.""There's a lot of manual effort involved to configure what we need.""Our team's knowledge of the solution needs to be improved, and Microsoft could do a better job conveying the necessary information to users. We could proactively use the tool more and explore capabilities we are not yet utilizing.""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."
