Provides good protection against viruses but support needs improvement

The product's initial setup phase wasn't too bad. The product's installation phase wasn't terrible, but it could have been good to club the things in the process, especially for the ones who are doing it for the first time, and it would be good if Microsoft offered users, someone, to talk to who knows the product. You will be gambling if you use Google for the tool because who knows if it really knows what Microsoft Defender for Business is all about. On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the easiest, I rate the setup phase as an eight out of ten. The setup phase was straightforward. As the tool was needed in a small shop, the solution's deployment was done in a couple of days. The solution was deployed in my company with the help of a small team of ten people. I had my head of IT help me in rolling it out in our company.

Recognizes and mitigates a wide array of spam and phishing attempts

This is one of the best solutions for servers for advanced users. Advanced users, such as those working with banks and who have to make payments, are exposed to more attacks. The people whose job is to write, create invoices, register products, or do quotes. They don't need the EPR. They can use a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is scalable."

"If you're an Intune user, you can bring in certain capabilities like system-hardening policies, which further enhances the security."

"A few things are valuable. One is the alerting we see when any kind of intrusion is happening, any kind of malware is being deployed across the endpoints, or any kind of suspicious activity is going on. We have a footprint across all of North America, Canada, and Mexico, so we want to make sure that all our endpoints are protected and we are able to look for any anomalous activity."

"The solution provides good scalability."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its central console."

"I haven't had any problems with the tool's stability."

"The interface is quite user-friendly."

"Microsoft Defender for Business is good for small and medium-sized businesses. It offers solid security flexibility and integration with tools like Microsoft Lighthouse and some other software. It takes some of the features of Defender for Endpoint EDR and provides those services for small and medium-sized business environments."

"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."

"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."

"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."

"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."

"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."

"It allows us to stop activation windows."

"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."

Cons

"The solution's AI is notorious for false positives, and the time you have to spend training it is ridiculous."

"Talking with the tool's technician about any problem is very complicated."

"The tool's support is an area of concern where improvements are needed."

"Defender's reporting is rather scattered, and its URL filtering mechanism doesn't really work."

"Defender's threat protection should be fine-tuned to reduce false positives. It could be more targeted, reflecting a continuous evolution in detecting. Also, it could be easier to integrate into other environments."

"The biggest one is that Defender needs to be more proactive to the emerging threats. There can be tighter integration with email, especially how it integrates with our email system, which is the Microsoft Outlook suite. There should be the ability to react a lot quicker to emerging threats because sometimes, it takes a few days before some of these new threats are fully identified, and we need that to be a few hours."

"We faced some issues while running some applications on Mac."

"The security could always be improved."

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."

"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."

"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."

"t would help if it would monitor the network better."

"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."

"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Defender for Business is included by default with an Office 365 premium subscription."

"It has to get more competitive because we are starting to see some of the competitors providing better pricing, and some of it, of course, is to gain market share. The Defender product pricing is probably a little higher than the competitors."

"Since we're a nonprofit, we get pretty good discounts on the tool."

"The tool is cheap, while some other solutions are more expensive. I remember the tool cost about five euros for a workstation or for a user on a monthly basis."

"The tool's cost has been a little high, but I do not think it was terrible."

"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."

"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."

"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."

"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
