We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Perimeter 81 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and the updates are very simple."
"The best feature is the fact that for certain mobiles you can control your corporate profiles versus your personal profiles. That is amazingly important. Apple just supported the separation of corporate and personal profiles, whereas Android has been doing that for quite some time... Because Android supports that, if an Android phone is lost or stolen, I can wipe out all the corporate-related information from that phone and not touch the personal side. I can separate the apps and I can separate the ability to cut and paste between apps."
"It's effective against most types of infection, and the firewall is perfect for protection."
"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 has good performance, I have not seen a problem."
"The primary advantage is that you don't need to install it. It's included in the Windows 10 delivery."
"The most valuable feature is that it comes with the package, so there is no additional installation of third-party software. It's also easy to use."
"It is stable and easy to use. Everything is okay, and there are no performance issues."
"Perimeter 81 is very pretty."
"SD-WAN is one of the primary solutions offered by Perimeter 81."
"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"The benefits are really built into the underlying protocol, however, Perimeter81 makes these available in a user-friendly way."
"Perimeter 81 provides a very secure and non-disruptive experience."
"Scaling Perimeter 81 was easy to do."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions."
"The integration and effectiveness of email security could be better. It's already built-in to the solution and checks emails, scans the links they contain etc."
"The UI for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint needs to be better. Integration with client dashboards is also lacking in this product, e.g. client dashboards shouldn't just be viewable from the cloud, because when the client's computer is offline, you won't be able to see the client dashboard."
"Right now, there's a portal for Azure, portals for Microsoft Office, and portals for endpoints. It would be good to have only one portal and integrate everything."
"I miss having an executive dashboard or a simple view for viewing things. Everything is extensive in this solution. Everything is configurable and manageable, but the environment of Microsoft 365 has about 13 administrative dashboards, and in each of the dashboards, there are a gazillion things to set up. It is good for a large enterprise, but for a 200-seat client, you need to see 5% of that."
"The onboarding and deployment could be more user-friendly, and there is room to grow in some of the reports. I don't want them to be oversimplified or overly complex, but there is room for improvement in the reporting it can do. It's relatively minor."
"The price, in general, could always be a little bit cheaper."
"I would like to see integrations with other products, such as Spunk and other CM solutions. That would create possibilities for me, and for a SOC, to consolidate all events in an older console, not one provided by Microsoft but provided by a third party, and use it to create more insights."
"The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"One of our challenges is ensuring the security of our cloud-based operations."
"It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404."
"One of the more negative experiences using Perimeter 81 is the fact that I am logged off after a pre-determined amount of time which cuts off access to some of my company's resources."
"Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment."
"Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity."
"There is a very small amount of downtime."
