Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"ESET provides good protection."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"The stability is good."
"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
