The implementation was completed in-house by a team of two people.

We're a service provider, so we carry out the deployments ourselves. 

We are the third party. We help clients implement the solution. 

We implement the solution for our clients in-house.

We did it in-house. We had two security systems engineers doing it. 

We did our own research, and because it was a lockdown, we had resources on our hands. We asked one of our system admins to look into the options and the policies that we need to deploy and what we need to do. He went over it for a month and trained the rest of the team. Within one and a half months, it was fully operational on each device, and my whole team was trained on it.

The whole job of its deployment was done by one person, and for maintenance, we have got a five-person team because we have 380 users across the clock and across the globe.

I actually set it all up myself. I am the only technical person at the organization. I have worked with Microsoft quite extensively in the past, and I have used their fast track consultancy services in other organizations that I have worked with as well. Therefore, I am quite confident and familiar with Microsoft technologies. 

We then signed up with an MDR supplier who does managed detection and response. Essentially, that is a team of cybersecurity experts who connect to our infrastructure and all the data telemetry from our endpoints feed up to their platform. If they see any threats, anomalies, or events, they will then jump in, reviewing and remediating as required.

We had a consultancy session with one of their Microsoft consultants around a month ago, where they reviewed the setup that I configured. They put in two or three recommendations to harden the setup a little bit more, but they were overall pretty happy with it. Thus, if I can do it, then it can't be that difficult.

We used CDW.

It was all done in-house and required three full-time resources.

We are a Microsoft partner and consultants. We implement these solutions.

We implement the solution for our customers.

We have a five-person technical team that supports this solution.

We deployed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint across multiple locations in our organization.

The solution’s deployment took almost three weeks. Two network engineers and I ensured the configuration of the group policies. We ensured that all the inbound and outbound traffic was properly configured and implemented.

The implementations are completed in-house for our clients.

Microsoft assisted with the implementation, and they were efficient.

The number of people required for deployment depends on the size of the client or the company. I can do it by myself if I have a client with 100 seats, but if there is a corporation or enterprise in several locations, we need to involve the local IT people to confirm everything is okay, etc.

It doesn't require any maintenance, but it requires somebody to take care of the consequences. You can implement endpoint security and just have it there. You don't have to maintain the solution itself, but you need to take care of the alerts. You need to take care of the patches and other things. The number of people required depends on the size of the client.

We handled the initial setup on our own. We did not need any consultant or integrator help.

We had a team of three with someone to configure the group policies, someone to look at the admin center on Microsoft, and someone to ensure that the traffic is allowed.

We are a small company with a few technical engineers, and we provide services for our clients. We provide all kinds of services such as maintaining endpoints and Azure cloud solutions with virtualized services and SaaS services.

Its implementation is more or less handled by my colleague. I do a little bit of configuration but not so much. My colleague knows about all the technical details. He does the complete installation and the complete central management of policies and templates. However, a basic part with basic software is very quickly implemented. You just create a tenant on microsoft.com, and then you can very easily roll out to as many workstations as you would like the necessary configuration for Defender for Endpoint.

We had our consultant from Microsoft for the implementation. The engagement went on for three to four months. But one thing we noticed from this project was that it did not need a consultant. It was not that difficult to do. Maybe we did not get an expert consultant because, for solving issues, he also took time.

In addition to doing onboarding, we wanted our third-party integrations, but that was something they could not do because they were Microsoft. We had to do that ourselves. Over that three or four months, we realized that we didn't need them.

Microsoft consultancy is good and bad. If you get good consultants, they are really good. But sometimes you get consultants who are not expert enough in their domains and you don't get enough from them.

I deployed it myself.

We used consultants for the deployment of both Cortex and Defender.

We are part of the aircraft industry. We have been going downhill for some time, and now we are sort of going up again. At the time of purchase, we simply bought the outsourcing with the solution, meaning we would get this many machines and servers using these services. They kind of supplied everything.

We outsourced the deployment to another company at that point in time, who put up all the consultants and stuff. Before that, we had everything internally and on-premises. At that point, we moved it out still on-premises, but not in our own house. So, we built a separate system, then moved users over.

We didn't have Microsoft in to specifically help us.

The administration of this solution is outsourced. We use a consultancy who has 50-plus employees/consultants. They take care of nearly all services: Defender, Teams, SQL, etc. I then only have to talk to one or two people who are specialized in what needs to be done.

I have been very happy with our current IT services provider. We have had them for about a year. They took over from the old consultancy who installed our IT in 2014. Our current consultancy took over in 2020 because I wasn't so happy with the old guys.

I completed the deployment.

We have a team of three that do the management of the solution.

We used an integrator during the initial setup. They were quite helpful. Our experience with them was good. 

We handled the implementation in-house using our IT team.

We have two engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

Sometimes the installation and deployment are done by the technical team, and sometimes it's done by others.

It was implemented internally. In terms of maintenance, it generally doesn't require any maintenance. There are some policy configuration changes that we can tweak, but the signatures, behavior analysis, and all similar things in the engine are kept up to date by them. We have four people who are dealing with this product.

We implement it ourselves. Currently, we have only one customer of this solution.

We have seven or eight engineers for its maintenance.

I configured it personally by downloading and reading materials that I found on the Microsoft website.

We implemented it by ourselves.

We had around five people for deployment. Some of them were testers, and some of them were admins for the configuration and deployment of agents.

It requires maintenance. We have cloud administrators and desktop support for endpoints.

We are doing deployment with Microsoft's tech support. But for the implementations and rollout of technologies, we have seldom used Microsoft. We have our own technical team who are trained and who keep on updating on their skills, and we continue to inject new resources to the team as well. When a new technology comes in, then we do a combo, whereby the in-house team actually learns with the local authorized partner.

We completed the deployment and implementation ourselves.

One person, in-house, is all that is required to set it up.

There is not much maintenance required, as our environment is pretty standard. Also, all of the updates come from the Microsoft update center and they are automatically installed on the machines.

We started to install this product for ourselves, but Microsoft proposed some different kinds of programs in which an integrator helps key customers deploy services and products. We accepted the proposition and we are happy we did so because the partner was very professional with very deep experience with the product.

It is possible to handle it in-house if you have a knowledgeable team. We implement the solution for our clients. 

We completed the installation ourselves.

We have 15 administrators to deploy and maintain this solution.

We tend to implement the solution for our clients. 

I did the implementation of the solution.

I installed the solution on my own.

We did the implementation ourselves. We have approximately 10 engineers able to do the deployments and maintenance. 

Microsoft Defender Antivirus integrates automatically. 

I am just an end user of the solution.

I hired a technical guy to keep the solution up-to-date since it could be more stable and work more efficiently.

We do the implementation ourselves. We find it easy to deploy. We help customers adopt the solution and get better ROI.

I can install it myself. We have three teams for deployment and maintenance.

Implementing this solution is done in-house. I'm the one implementing it. I can set it up for multiple clients weekly, e.g. five clients a week.

We had a partner that helped us with the deployment.

We deployed with our in-house team. We have two people, not full-time, who take care of deployment and maintenance. They are engineers.

We implemented in-house. 

We were able to set it up in-house. We have two people in-house that manage Windows Defender.

I implement Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It takes me one or two days to design Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It is easy to do this, and the more you implement, the easier it gets over time.

Sometimes, when I change the configuration, I have to wait six to eight hours.

Marine data systems is a partner of ours and they helped us with deployment — they're excellent.

We used a partner. We had two people for this.

I did the implementation of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

We did the implementation ourselves.

We have a local team of ten engineers that provide support to the solution.

I can handle the installation process myself. 

I installed the OS myself.

Our company acts as both a consultant and integrator. 

We implemented using a Microsoft team.

We consulted with Microsoft, but we're a full IT workhouse so we have qualified engineers that were coming off a three-year capability program to deliver all of those services.

As far as the amount of staff we use to support the solution, we have a lot of managed providers and different international SOC (Security Operations Center) teams and different agencies that manage a lot of the services. I would say that globally we would have probably about close to a hundred engineers working on the solutions full-time with cloud app development and Kubernetis and things like that.

My team did the implementation of the solution.

I implemented the solution myself.

We used a Microsoft consultant to assist with our implementation.
