A tool that offers endpoint protection with low maintenance costs
I have experience with other products like Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and a lot of other products in the market. Some companies offer competitive solutions, but I think if you want a one-stop shop for everything, then Microsoft is the best. There is a difference between Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. Trend Micro or Kaspersky offer more niche products. Microsoft offers products to cover most of the area in the company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"It is easy to implement and is very scalable. It also comes with very good documentation. Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"Offers easy integration with a cloud-based infrastructure"
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence assesses machines for vulnerabilities and gives remediations."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"The product provides efficient email security for sending links and file attachments."
"It just runs in the background. I don't have to worry about, making sure it's Intelligence. So, you know, this kind of makes it very easy, have to worry about installing. It is easy to use."
"Microsoft's integration into the security stack works quite well."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft."
 

Cons

"Support must be improved."
"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."
"I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with."
"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"I would like for there to be extra confirmation that there aren't viruses. Even if the virus detection software is always running there could be hidden applications that are using the computer."
"Non-Microsoft products may not integrate as smoothly."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"While the current setup meets our needs, Microsoft can constantly improve customization and adaptability to rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats."
"There could be a better notification system."
"One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"It's reasonably priced, though there's room for further improvement."
"The product is a part of my Microsoft 365 subscription, so there is no additional cost. It is cost-effective."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"I rate the product's price a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"They offer two license plans: Microsoft Defender for endpoints and Microsoft Defender for businesses."
"The product has multiple subscription models."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
