More Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Pros →

"We use Microsoft Defender for the antivirus.""The solution has an easy-to-use interface, is always updated, and is user-friendly.""It's free. There is no additional cost. It's part of Windows.""One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it.""There are a couple of features, such as isolating the devices or connecting the device and connecting live response.""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.""Defender should be fine for home use. It has all the basic functionality you need. I can't speak to how well it works as an enterprise solution because I'm not in the space.""It's an enterprise solution that provides a centralized console and it supports all the platforms that we use, including Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, and Android."

Cons
"The configuration needs improvement."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Cons →

"Its price could be better.""There's a lot of manual effort involved to configure what we need.""The reporting in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should improve. The solution has limited features.""I have accounts for administrators and corporate employees, but I also have accounts for students. I can't split these types of accounts. I need a separate configuration for both... I need to research how I can get alerts for only the administrative machines.""Microsoft Windows Defender doesn't have a game mode.""I would like to have a dashboard that shows an overview of the results for the enterprise.""The central management console should be improved because it provides limited options to configure Windows Defender.""A single dashboard would be a significant improvement."
