"The patch management is very easy, as it can be done automatically or added to a schedule."
"What I like most is the protection against phishing emails and anti-spam."
"It's free. There is no additional cost. It's part of Windows."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and the updates are very simple."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is the small updates that keep my machine relatively clean from any infections."
"Defender works in the background monitoring the traffic for viruses."
"It is easy to install and use requiring little maintenance but applying updates."
"It is easy to use because it is already pre-installed in Windows 10. We don't have to do anything to configure it. You can also configure the firewall by using a group policy so that it can be easily adopted in an environment."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
"The product should reduce updates since it is hard to keep up."
"On the Mac OS platform, there is no parity between Windows and Mac OS. The solution is very feature-rich and very well-integrated into Windows, and I guess baked into Windows 10 and Windows 11. Whereas, on the Mac OS platform, there is still some work there to give it a more feature-reach platform."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by adding more security features."
"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."
"The time it takes to restore the application could be improved. It has a lot of dependencies. It's not like the Microsoft security that comes with the OS. Updating through the command prompt, most of the time, it takes some time to download some of these dependencies."
"More integration with different platforms is an area for improvement for this product, and should be included in its next release."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not as robust, and you cannot customize it much, so that's a challenge."
