Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
"I like Defender's reporting and logging features. The email alerts are also helpful. It's hard sometimes to sift through the email, especially if you're an IT firm managing hundreds if not thousands of endpoints, but we find email reporting useful. For example, last Tuesday, we learned of new vulnerabilities that were discovered as a result of the previous patches. The endpoints without those patches triggered alerts in Defender."
"We like that it has a free version available."
"The most important feature is the way it monitors the threats and blocks them. About 10 days ago, we were implementing SOC for a particular client. The SOC was not yet implemented, but they had Microsoft Defender. That organization was hit by some ransomware, but the hacker could not succeed. Because of the EDR, the hacker could not install the hacking tools. They were trying to do that, but Microsoft Defender completely blocked that. The hacker could log into the system, but they could not install anything."
"The EDR feature is most valuable."
"The comprehensiveness of Microsoft threat-protection products is great... Today, Microsoft Sentinel by itself is a leading Gartner SIEM tool. It has advantages over competitors because of the ability to integrate with Microsoft solutions and automate continuous monitoring of Microsoft AD and Office 365 data."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's WCS function, a content filtering solution, has proven to be the most useful, stable, and reliable option for our current needs."
"Defender for Endpoint has one dashboard with security-related information, vulnerability-related information, and basic recommendations from Microsoft, all in different tabs. That's helpful because if we want to fix only the recommended ones, we can go fix all of them..."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
"I would like to see improvements made to how it secures activities on web pages."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"Defender's cloud integration could be improved."
"The scanning is slow when it is working with incoming emails."
"Threat intelligence has the potential for improvement, particularly by integrating more sources."
"The frequency of the patching, and the frequency of the updates, are not included with the free version."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can improve by providing more and different types of reports."
"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."
