Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."The malware feature is most valuable."
"We had Norton Antivirus before, and with Norton, we didn't have a way to centrally manage a lot of features. Defender allowed us to deploy it from our Office 365 admin console. That is probably the biggest thing that made us go with Defender."
"The most valuable feature is ransomware protection, which can detect malicious activity from IPs or a malicious payload in DLLs, or other things that can corrupt the system."
"The integration with all variations of Microsoft Defender, for Endpoint, 365, and Cloud is valuable."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its automation capabilities, particularly within security automation."
"We can run the virus scan across our entire environment."
"Technical support is good."
"We found that because the endpoint devices are based on Microsoft Windows devices and Windows Defender is integrated with the foundation and the core layer, it makes it more integrated and more agile in terms of responding to any security threats or changes or development"
"Real-time detection and cloud-based delivery of detections are highly efficient."
"The configuration needs improvement."
"This solution is not secure, which is why I have moved to Linux."
"Sometimes, there are different skews. In a basic skew, they should have basic log analysis without the need to integrate with any third-party or SIEM solutions, like Sentinel. This would make it so much easier for users who don't have log collection or log analysis."
"The central management console should be improved because it provides limited options to configure Windows Defender."
"Where we stand right now, compared to other products that are there in the market, they still have to work on their threat intelligence and the overall maturity of detecting the malware."
"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."
"Lowering the price would be an improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can improve by making the reporting faster. It takes some time to reflect back to the administration portal of what has been updated. For example, out of 100 Computers, approximately 90 computers received updates, but when you check the administration portal over one or two days, you will only see 75, even though 90 were updated."
"A concern is ransomware, whether people can penetrate and encrypt my data or steal my credit card/banking information."
