Pros
"The malware feature is most valuable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Pros →

"The solution's threat protection is mostly AI and machine-learning based. That is the most important feature of the product. It also offers centralized management so I can remotely manage devices.""We had Norton Antivirus before, and with Norton, we didn't have a way to centrally manage a lot of features. Defender allowed us to deploy it from our Office 365 admin console. That is probably the biggest thing that made us go with Defender.""One of the features which differentiates it from other EDR providers is the Automated Investigation and Response, which reduces the workload of SOC analysts or engineers. They don't have to manually investigate each and every alert on the endpoint, since it does so automatically. And you can automate the investigation part.""This software is easy to use.""Technical support has been great.""The protection that it provides is quite good.""It is stable and easy to use. Everything is okay, and there are no performance issues.""It's pretty easy to scale."

Cons
"The configuration needs improvement."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Cons →

"I would just like them to have more consistency, and that's a comment that's across the board with Microsoft. They change things a lot.""I would like to be able to set up any kind of protection I want in the firewall, any IP address or any number.""Cortex... has good investigation capabilities, out-of-the-box, in case there is an event that you'd like to investigate. It's quite convenient. Microsoft has those capabilities as well, but you need a bit more training on the product to get the basic information that you can get out-of-the-box with Cortex.""The solution could be even more secure and provide an even higher level of security.""I would like to see integrations with other products, such as Spunk and other CM solutions. That would create possibilities for me, and for a SOC, to consolidate all events in an older console, not one provided by Microsoft but provided by a third party, and use it to create more insights.""The solution could improve by providing more integration.""The solution can be more user-friendly.""If the solution could be integrated more with Defender for Cloud, to be more unified, that would help. It is good now, but even more integration could be done with Defender for Cloud. We see two different portals. If Defender for Endpoint could be ported to the CSPM, Defender for Cloud, that would make things even easier for us."
