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."This product is flexible, and it is very easy to get updates from the Microsoft website."
"You have endpoint security to keep your devices safe. That's the feature that we're interested in."
"Defender works in the background monitoring the traffic for viruses."
"We have liked the fact that it comes with Microsoft Windows 10 and it is constantly updated with all new virus definitions. It is also updated with new security features on a regular basis."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to load and it runs quietly in the background, unlike other solutions."
"In terms of the installation, ease of use, and user interface, Defender has been great so far."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"The analysis part is good."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"The end-user also cannot do some advanced actions on it. It's a little bit complicated for our end-user, so it needs to be simplified."
"Additional security would be beneficial."
"At times, the other antivirus products are now doing AI, in terms of understanding the behavior of the system and determining when there's an anomaly. This is something that Defender can improve on."
"The product itself does not necessarily need improvement, but the support and implementation of the product are the disaster cases."
"Notifications are always popping up — I hate that."
"Lowering the price would be an improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by adding more security features."
"The frequency of the patching, and the frequency of the updates, are not included with the free version."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
