Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
"This solution definitely increases our security posture. When you are reviewing your existing fleet or endpoints and based on the configuration that you put out of your Defender for Endpoint, you then receive a security score from Microsoft. Depending on what rules you have configured, what policies you have deployed, and what attack surface reduction rules that you have set up and deployed, it is almost gamifying information security in the sense that you are always trying to achieve a higher score. The more hardening you perform on your endpoints, the better score you receive. This generally tends to give you a better peace of mind, but also makes you secure at the same time."
"The biggest benefit to Windows Defender is that it is built-in to the operating system by Microsoft."
"Technical support has been great."
"What I like most is the protection against phishing emails and anti-spam."
"The EDR feature is most valuable."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization."
"We apply the DLP policies across a range of endpoints and it is very accurate when reporting vulnerabilities, including those in email attachments."
"We use Microsoft Defender for the antivirus."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
"Microsoft Windows Defender doesn't have a game mode."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint does not offer default templates for alerts, requiring us to configure everything ourselves to avoid numerous false positives."
"A concern is ransomware, whether people can penetrate and encrypt my data or steal my credit card/banking information."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is effective for validating work, but not ideal for investigations."
"Microsoft Defender in the basic form is not very useful for managing the security environment. The free version is not capable of covering the needs of centralized management, EDR, and behavioral analysis. If you don't have the commercial version, you can't have centralized management and set up the policies and other things. Each client is a standalone installation, which is not useful for security in an enterprise model."
"The detection of viruses could be a little bit better."
"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."
"Its detection is not as quick. There should also be more frequent updates."
