Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
"The endpoint detection of threats is valuable. The initial detection of things like ransomware and viruses and being able to shut down machines immediately and stop a threat is valuable. We can stop a threat at a source versus allow it to propagate it across the network."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is that it's out-of-the-box, which brings more value to the customer. The technical support for the product is also one of the best parts, because it's good, in terms of the product knowledge of the technical engineers."
"Defender has very little impact on the end-user and the agent works quite well with a minimal impact on the client and server."
"In terms of the installation, ease of use, and user interface, Defender has been great so far."
"The most valuable feature is that we can use the solution right out of the box without too much configuration."
"The primary advantage is that you don't need to install it. It's included in the Windows 10 delivery."
"I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."
"The stability keeps getting better and better."
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
"The management console is something that can be improved."
"One thing that was lacking in Defender was web filtering. Its web filtering wasn't as comprehensive. Sophos was a little bit better than Defender for blocking URLs or installing programs."
"Other vendors provide a lot of customization when it comes to integration, which every big organization requires. No big organization depends on one particular tool. Defender lacks that at this point."
"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."
"Integration with third-party vendors could be better. It would be better if it integrates with other protection solutions or other products outside of Microsoft. Nowadays, anti-virus protection doesn't really have to be planned as overall protection for your environment in terms of security. There are really different avenues that bad actors can take to wreak havoc on your machine."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is secure but when it comes to security all solutions could improve security."
"There's scanning going on that occasionally topples the memory, causing everything to freeze. This should be fixed."
"Microsoft Defender could be improved with features more like the McAfee ePO. It would be better if I had a console to get all the information for my endpoints. Maybe this is too much for it, but it would be better if it could handle those non-signature-based malicious codes or viruses."
