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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The antivirus features are very useful."

"Auto-remediation: When the product sees malware, it resolves the issue immediately. This protects the machine."

"I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."

"The integration with all variations of Microsoft Defender, for Endpoint, 365, and Cloud is valuable."

"It's an enterprise solution that provides a centralized console and it supports all the platforms that we use, including Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, and Android."

"Provides good security features and you can view it in the central console."

"You can query and access useful information from logs and events, which is powerful and efficient."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is beneficial because we are using Microsoft Windows and all the core solutions are made by Microsoft, such as the authentic platform, operating system, and antivirus protection. It is a heterogeneous environment. We had to use third-party solutions before and update everything separately. For example, the policy for antivirus. With Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, when Microsoft Windows receives updates it will update with it. This is one main advantage of this solution."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pros

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"The solution installs very easily."

Cons

"With regards to the interface, a challenge I found was that there was not enough documentation on how to tune it. I had to read multiple sources on the internet to learn how to configure the tool appropriately."

"If the solution could be integrated more with Defender for Cloud, to be more unified, that would help. It is good now, but even more integration could be done with Defender for Cloud. We see two different portals. If Defender for Endpoint could be ported to the CSPM, Defender for Cloud, that would make things even easier for us."

"The profiling method currently in use is not very user-friendly and has ample scope for improvement."

"I would like the solution to be able to prevent unauthorized programs from installing and to block unauthorised URLs which is similar to web filtering product."

"There is a need for improvement in reducing false positives."

"This solution needs to move beyond relying on virus definitions alone and protect the system using behavioral analysis of the processes that are running."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's licensing is confusing. It has conflicting information on the website. We also faced integration issues with other systems. It makes laptops slower than traditional antivirus systems."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can use more advertising to promote their features."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint cons

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is about three euros, which is considered reasonably priced."

"We have a bundle where the price includes all Microsoft products."

"As we operate in the educational sector, we are eligible for an educational discount."

"Currently, for us, Windows Defender is free with the purchase of Windows Server. Pricing is an important point for us when we are looking at the competitors of this solution. If we choose to go with another vendor, we will have to pay some license fees."

"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."

"The solution is free with Windows."

"The product is free of charge and comes integrated into Windows."

"The solution is free."
