Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."I like the simplicity, the way it works out of the box. It's pretty easy to run and configure. The integration of the network devices with the ICAP server was easily done."
"The installation is straightforward."
"It's stable."
"The visibility into threats that the solution provides is pretty awesome... This is something that makes me think, "Wow, okay. If I had my own organization, I would probably get this too." It stops the threat before an employee gets phished or something gets downloaded to their computer."
"Defender is stable enough and is competitive with the other products in the market."
"It's one of the best antiviruses on the market."
"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."
"Its simplicity is the most valuable. It also has very good integration. We like it."
"The intelligence mechanisms are good."
"The documentation is not well written, and I often need to talk with support."
"It is using a large space in your memory all the time. While an antivirus will use some of your memory, if they could reduce the load of the antivirus to some extent that would be good."
"The interface could be improved."
"This solution needs to move beyond relying on virus definitions alone and protect the system using behavioral analysis of the processes that are running."
"I would like MDE to have the ability to isolate a certain amount of time on the timeline."
"It can be more secure."
"Reporting could be improved. I would like to see how many security incidents occurred in the last six months, how many devices were highly exposed to security risks, and how many devices were actually compromised."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by adding more security features."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should have more transparency. In the latest edition of Windows, Windows 11, it is a compulsory requirement to connect to a Microsoft account, which in turn has implications for Defender. This should be removed."
