Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."The malware feature is most valuable."
"The solution provides protections and reports about strange behavior and automatically blocks some of it. I love the way that statuses are represented."
"It is stable and easy to use. Everything is okay, and there are no performance issues."
"We had Norton Antivirus before, and with Norton, we didn't have a way to centrally manage a lot of features. Defender allowed us to deploy it from our Office 365 admin console. That is probably the biggest thing that made us go with Defender."
"Defender for Endpoint is a robust solution that works well out-of-the-box."
"One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it."
"There are a couple of features, such as isolating the devices or connecting the device and connecting live response."
"I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."
"It is already integrated with Windows 10, so you don't need to worry about that."
"The configuration needs improvement."
"Microsoft Defender in the basic form is not very useful for managing the security environment. The free version is not capable of covering the needs of centralized management, EDR, and behavioral analysis. If you don't have the commercial version, you can't have centralized management and set up the policies and other things. Each client is a standalone installation, which is not useful for security in an enterprise model."
"The file scanning has room for improvement. Many people use macros within their files, so there should be a mechanism that helps us to scan them for malicious payloads."
"It would be helpful if they included XDR features, on top of the EDR functionality."
"I'm not too sure of its current capabilities, but I'm pretty sure they are doing a good job on Windows and Mac. However, I'm not sure whether they covered Linux. If I remember correctly, Microsoft Defender didn't have anything proper on Linux back then, but if they have improved it from that aspect, it would already be ticking all the boxes."
"There could be an increase in security for the solution."
"I have accounts for administrators and corporate employees, but I also have accounts for students. I can't split these types of accounts. I need a separate configuration for both... I need to research how I can get alerts for only the administrative machines."
"It needs to improve the cybersecurity for lateral movements. For example, when a hacker tries to enter a machine, they try to get the password by doing a lateral movement."
"There's scanning going on that occasionally topples the memory, causing everything to freeze. This should be fixed."
