Analyzes behaviors and provides great visibility
Within one month of using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, we could achieve great insights. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a perfect solution. We have used several EDR products, and Microsoft Defender is the best one that I have worked with. It provides great visibility. It is very transparent. We can get so many details about a particular endpoint. It is a great product. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of visibility. It helps us to identify process-based threats in our environment, not only the signature-based ones. We are able to identify some of the threats that were not detected previously. We get severity levels from the solution itself. Based on them, we have developed our action plan to act upon any category of incident. It helps to achieve a better SLA to attend to incidents. I am quite interested in the vulnerability dashboard. It provides vulnerability data according to the CVE database, which helps us to prioritize vulnerabilities in our environment and address them. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint works with Windows and Linux, so we could cover them all. It is suitable for servers as well, not only for endpoints, so we could implement it on most devices in the organization. It has probably saved us 20% of the time.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you don't purchase the advanced threat protection then there is no additional charge."
"You don't need to worry about the renewal and purchase of antivirus products. It is bundled with Windows 10, so you don't need to worry about separately purchasing any antiviruses."
"The base price for an E5 license, which includes Enterprise Mobility + Security E5, is $57 per user per month."
"Licensing models of Microsoft are renowned for being complex. We just purchased the whole E5 stack. With E5 licenses for users, we get access to a bunch of features that are not just related to security. I would rate them a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"As we operate in the educational sector, we are eligible for an educational discount."
"There is not a license required for this particular solution."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is built into Windows 10. If our clients are using Microsoft Defender, the cost goes away for them."
