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.

Pros

"Defender for Endpoint provides good visibility into threats and has favorable threat intelligence."
"Endpoint's most valuable feature is deep analysis."
"It's a very solid security system, and the advanced hunting and everything really lets you dive deep into things."
"It's a very complete application. I have all the controls in one site. I can track emails, attacks, and threats, and I can research information. I really like this configuration because I have all the information in place."
"One feature I like the most is vulnerability management, which shows any vulnerable software or OS present in my environment. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides a complete overview and also recommends the steps to mitigate the vulnerabilities or threats. Most of the other antivirus or EDR solutions generally don't provide vulnerability management. It is an add-on that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides."
"Defender provides useful alerts and groups them. It sends an alert to your portal if it detects any malicious activity, and you can group multiple alerts to form an incident."
"Offers good protection."
"The solution provides protections and reports about strange behavior and automatically blocks some of it. I love the way that statuses are represented."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should include better automation that will make it faster to detect the latest threats happening across the world."
"A single dashboard would be a significant improvement."
"There could be an increase in security for the solution."
"The price, in general, could always be a little bit cheaper."
"In terms of improvements for their technical support, a focus on enhancing response times could be beneficial."
"Monitoring can always be better, onboarding can be a little bit faster, log collection could be easier, they could streamline the dashboard. They could maybe split it up into different workspaces and have the ability to segment groups a little bit more."
"The solution can be more user-friendly."
"Some of the integrations that Defender should include involve the use of the web app."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"User management could be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everybody would like to see a lower price on everything. The Slovenian market is basically an SME market with clients having up to 100 seat licenses, comprising 90% of the company. They're very price sensitive. So, the price could be cheaper."
"You just pay Windows 10 prices, then you have antivirus software. As a price comparison, Defender's costs are very low."
"Pricing for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is competitive. Out of the bundle, you will get a lot of security, if I talk about Microsoft E5, for example, and get a lot of benefits. If the customer goes and purchases a different solution, it will cost more, so pricing for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is quite reasonable at the moment. There isn't any challenge in terms of pricing, for example, I didn't see a customer who pulled back because of the price. Some prices could be negotiable, and sometimes, as a sales point, the two become negotiable, but they don't bill one and pull back because of the pricing. If you have an E5 license, you get everything."
"We have an enterprise agreement so from my perspective, this is a product that ships with Windows and it is not priced standalone."
"It is free. It is included in Windows 10."
"The solution comes free with Microsoft Windows 10."
"We are required to pay for the data we ingest, and increasing the data amount incurs additional expenses."
"We have been using the free version."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
