We performed a comparison between 360 Safeguard and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is the small updates that keep my machine relatively clean from any infections."
"We have just started to implement it. It is useful for protection from malware and ransomware."
"Defender is stable. The performance is good."
"It's one of the best antiviruses on the market."
"The most valuable features are that it is flexible, and it is integrated with Microsoft products."
"It's stable."
"It is easy to install and use requiring little maintenance but applying updates."
"The integration with all variations of Microsoft Defender, for Endpoint, 365, and Cloud is valuable."
"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."
"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"Something that is unique to Microsoft is its licensing model. When you go out and you buy McAfee or Symantec, you know what you're getting out of the box, but with Microsoft, often, when you're looking to achieve a certain set of capabilities, those capabilities are spread across different products. You might try to do something you could do with CrowdStrike, but then find out that you also need to purchase Microsoft Defender for Identity or Microsoft Defender for Azure. You realize that when they talk about what they can offer within the Microsoft platform, it's really the suite of investments. So, sometimes, you may find yourself buying Defender for Endpoint thinking that it matches CrowdStrike, but then you find that Microsoft really needs to sell you something else. One plus one will equal three, but when you have a very concise platform, such as CrowdStrike, you know what you're going to get."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by making the reporting better."
"Microsoft Defender could be improved with features more like the McAfee ePO. It would be better if I had a console to get all the information for my endpoints. Maybe this is too much for it, but it would be better if it could handle those non-signature-based malicious codes or viruses."
"The dashboard customization could be improved."
"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."
"I would like Microsoft to have some kind of direct integration for USB controls. They have GPO and other controls to control the access of the USB drives on devices, but if there is something that can be directly implemented into the portal, it would be good. There should be a way to control via a cloud portal or something like that in a dynamic way. USB control for data exfiltration would be a good feature to implement. Currently, there are ways to do it, but it involves too many different things. You have to implement it via GPOs and other stuff, and then you move or copy those big files via Defender ATP. If there is a simple way of implementing those features, it would be great."
"We encountered some issues when we were trying to enable automatic updates from our group policy."
