"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is different from other security tools because we can configure it to use multiple types of scanning or archiving."
"The protection that it provides is quite good."
"There are a couple of features, such as isolating the devices or connecting the device and connecting live response."
"Defender has very little impact on the end-user and the agent works quite well with a minimal impact on the client and server."
"It captures data through machine learning, which is built-in on the back-end. It also provides built-in analytics and a threat intelligence feature. It is a one-stop solution that doesn't require an antivirus because it comes prebuilt into Windows 10."
"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."
"I like the fact that it has the ransomware solution in there. I'm glad that the ransomware solution is built into it. That's probably the biggest thing that I see in Microsoft Defender."
"Stable endpoint manager, antivirus, and antimalware, with fast technical support and a straightforward setup."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Detections could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"It consumes many system resources."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could improve some issues and add new security files."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."

"It needs to improve the cybersecurity for lateral movements. For example, when a hacker tries to enter a machine, they try to get the password by doing a lateral movement."
"The scalability could be improved - I would rate it between a seven and an eight."
"Microsoft support could be more knowledgeable."
"Lacks some additional integration."
"I would like to see improvement from a management perspective. We have had to depend on Intune for certain tasks."
"The product should reduce updates since it is hard to keep up."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should include better automation that will make it faster to detect the latest threats happening across the world."
"Sometimes the software doesn't work the way we expect it to, and in those cases, we can't communicate with a device because it may be infected."
