A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.
AnuragSrivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides detailed visibility into threats but the ability to add exceptions needs improvement
One major item for improvement is the ability to add exceptions. We can add some exceptions, but not at the level we need to. The second major area for improvement involves enhanced capabilities for different operating systems or platforms. That is, even though we have coverage for different operating systems or platforms such as Linux, we don't get all of the controls and enhanced capabilities that are available with Windows devices. Reporting could also be improved because, at present, we get limited results at times. For example, in an environment with more than 100,000 devices, you may just get 10,000 results when you run a report.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"It has Kusto Query Language (KQL), so we can use our own queries to find anything."
"Defender for Endpoint provides good visibility into threats and has favorable threat intelligence."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"This is not an inventory solution, but it helps you take count of how many workstations you have, as well as what software is installed on each of them."
"Web filtering is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint because it effectively maintains security for website access."
"The features I have found most valuable are the ransomware and malware protection. The solution detects malware live and whenever it detects suspicious activity, it quarantines it."
"The ransomware and malware protection is the most valuable feature."
"The protection that it provides is quite good."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"A single dashboard would be a significant improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not as robust, and you cannot customize it much, so that's a challenge."
"The time to generate certain alerts on our dashboard can take between 45 minutes to an hour, and I am unsure of the factors that influence this duration."
"The management console is something that can be improved."
"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 detection of viruses could be a little bit better."
"Defender is free for one year. Once that year is over, we will switch to Kaspersky."
"There is a lot of information to take in, and the portals tend to change quickly due to the fast-paced nature of the industry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is more affordable compared to some other endpoint solutions."
"I don't know the standalone costs. It is my understanding that the M365 E5 is $56 a month or something close to that pricing. That would be for the full suite. Just Defender might be $8 a month. I can't say for sure."
"The product is free of charge and comes integrated into Windows."
"We pay a yearly license for Microsoft Defender. We also have a support contract with them."
"If we are acquiring everything in a single place, the front end becomes cost-effective."
"The price was a problem for me three years ago, but they improved their E3, E5, and a la carte licensing. In other words, you have to get all of E5. That used to be a problem because you had E3, Defender, and guardrails, but you needed an E5 license to get the management suite and the analytics. It's more flexible now. You can switch from a la carte to the entire suite when it starts to make sense. It's becoming more economically competitive to go that route."
"The solution is included with Microsoft Windows."
"The nice thing about Defender and Sentinel is that the cost is based on the data logs that you ingest from the Defender endpoints and data connectors. I don't have to buy a 25- or 50- or 1,000-user or enterprise license. I can buy one license at a time."
