Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."It's great for investigating what's happening on a machine. They show a whole bunch of machine timeline events that are related to a security incident. They have quite good details on the things related to threat and vulnerability management, such as any weakness that has been disclosed publicly, assets that are exposed, and if there is an exploit active in the wild for that vulnerability. It can provide you with all such information, which is cool."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to load and it runs quietly in the background, unlike other solutions."
"The best thing I like about it is its interaction with the other Defender products. It provides the ability to push telemetry up. It gives me endpoint visibility and allows me to take automated actions."
"It is a straightforward setup."
"Its threat intelligence feature is beneficial. This solution smoothly integrates with SIEM."
"It has Kusto Query Language (KQL), so we can use our own queries to find anything."
"It is quite stable. We have not had any cases, i.e., viruses, that would require a reboot, etc. We have never had a situation where we needed to reinstall the tools as a result of the Defender application or a feature being corrupt."
"This product is flexible, and it is very easy to get updates from the Microsoft website."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"It's not easy to create special allowances for certain groups of users. It can be a little heavy-handed in some areas where Microsoft has decided to lock a feature out, meaning they make it hard to make an exception... One company we work with needed to use about 20 different thumb drives for about 20 users. To make that exception for them was very difficult. In fact, you can't really make an exception. But what you can do is allow them to use it and, while it will still alert, you can actually suppress those alerts."
"If you have multi-cloud like Google and AWS, the native solutions are better for those particular cases."
"I would like the solution to be able to prevent unauthorized programs from installing and to block unauthorised URLs which is similar to web filtering product."
"The product should reduce updates since it is hard to keep up."
"With regards to the interface, a challenge I found was that there was not enough documentation on how to tune it. I had to read multiple sources on the internet to learn how to configure the tool appropriately."
"I would just like them to have more consistency, and that's a comment that's across the board with Microsoft. They change things a lot."
"The documentation could be better. When they update their manuals, sometimes they refer to products by their old names, so it is a little confusing. For example, the documentation might still say "Advanced Threat Protection" instead of Defender for Endpoint."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
