Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well."
"I like the user interface, documentation, and support. Azure DDoS Protection is one of the most valuable solutions for any endpoint that is publicly reachable through the internet. It will automatically secure all your endpoints from third-party attacks, cyber attacks, or phishing attacks."
"Azure DDoS Protection offers superior protection against denial-of-service attacks."
"DDoS Protection is simple to deploy and integrates seamlessly with the Azure environment. Ease of deployment is a crucial feature for us."
"This solution is the best option for us because we use a lot of Microsoft products. So, it is easy for us to deploy or integrate any features or products."
"The most important feature is that the solution continuously monitors traffic by inbuilt rules to identify preconfigured attacks."
"What I like most is the protection against phishing emails and anti-spam."
"It is stable and easy to use. Everything is okay, and there are no performance issues."
"The investigation aspect is the most useful. It's user friendly and has a good user interface."
"The intelligence mechanisms are good."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is free and part of the licensing stack of other Microsoft products."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is different from other security tools because we can configure it to use multiple types of scanning or archiving."
"I like the simplicity of the portal and the integration with Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to use and implement."
"The solution integrates very well with Windows applications and Microsoft endpoint products."
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."
"Sometimes, it is hard for our staff to keep track of changes (in the GUI) between different projects, because there are constant changes. As a result, it is hard to manage, recall, and see all the features because they have been moved from one place to another."
"The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption."
"The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place."
"The reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement."
"The UI needs to be improved."
"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."
"Its price could be better."
"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 should include better automation that will make it faster to detect the latest threats happening across the world."
"Additional security would be beneficial."
"It is inexpensive but could be cheaper like anything else."
"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."
"This solution is not secure, which is why I have moved to Linux."
