Review summaries and opinions

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

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.6
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's support is generally reliable, with mixed reviews on response time and resolution quality.
Sentiment score
7.4
Trend Vision One's service is praised for quick support but criticized for occasional delays and communication issues, varying by tier.
The level-one support seems disconnected from subject matter experts.
I rate Microsoft support 10 out of 10.
Due to our size, we don't have access to direct technical support, but the knowledge base, Microsoft Learn, and the articles available are really good.
It's not just about high-level support with the chatbot; rather, when an issue occurs, we have the experts on-site and ready to respond swiftly, which is crucial.
The engineers are not readily available.
To improve support, the company should streamline communication and reduce response times.
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
4.6
Users criticize Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's complex interface, limited integration, and request enhancements in analytics, protection, and support.
Sentiment score
5.2
Trend Vision One needs improved reporting, integration, usability, performance, support, and expanded features for user satisfaction.
Repeated interactions are necessary due to Level One's lack of tools and knowledge, hindering efficient problem-solving and negatively impacting our experience with Microsoft support.
We use Microsoft partners to help govern the platform, and as part of an alliance, we want to gather data from each tenant and combine them for a complete view.
You have to go through tons of documentation to find what you want.
The deployment can be complex, and we'd like an easier process, especially when integrating with on-prem and cloud environments.
For XDR threat investigation, there is not enough documentation about how to search for different keywords.
There is increasingly a blending of the traditional OT world, which requires a specific focus, as OT devices often don't use standard Ethernet protocols and similar technologies.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offers scalable integration and cloud-based management, but customization may need extra tools in complex settings.
Sentiment score
8.0
Trend Vision One is praised for its scalability, seamless integration, cloud flexibility, and ability to handle diverse client requirements.
We managed to scale it out in a short amount of time, with two months of planning and three months of implementation on 10,000 computers.
It's pretty easy to scale with Microsoft, as they make it easy if you look into the documentation.
Defender's scalability is phenomenal, and it's going to be one of the keys to resolving issues for the SOC.
We found that it scales easily.
 

Setup Cost

Sentiment score
6.1
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offers flexible, cost-effective pricing, especially in E5 bundles, adapting to various enterprise licensing needs.
Sentiment score
6.8
Trend Vision One offers competitive pricing with flexible subscription options, despite perceived complexity from recent credit system changes.
Given our extensive Microsoft licensing, transitioning to Defender for Endpoint did not affect licensing costs.
The pricing, setup, and licensing were very easy and simple.
Trend Vision One offers a competitive price-to-value ratio.
Trend Vision One is an expensive product.
The pricing is fair and not on the higher side.
 

Stability Issues

Trend Vision One excels in centralized management, threat detection, integration, and AI-enhanced security, offering comprehensive insights and automation.
Defender for Endpoint's coverage across different platforms in our environment is pretty good. We have devices running Linux, Mac OS, Windows, iOS, and Android. It covers all of them.
Web filtering is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint because it effectively maintains security for website access.
Attack surface reduction and limiting attack surface vectors are valuable features.
The most important features of Vision One include visibility, AI integration, attack pattern analysis, predictive analytics, and centralized visibility and management across protection layers.
The most critical feature of Vision One is that it gives us a single console for threat management.
Its ability to identify unmonitored endpoints and perform log inspection, which establishes operational baselines and detects anomalies, proves invaluable for threat identification.

Easy to update with good protection and a useful cloud portal
We've mainly used it for endpoints. However, we've also used it for DLP as well. We're also in the process of implementing it for cloud and identity as well. However, it's very good for endpoints, and that's our main focus. The malware protection is good. The visibility it provides is very useful. We can combine visibility with wider security features and alerts around malware, misconfiguration, or any other kinds of threats. The cloud portal is quite good. From there, we are able to see alerts and have colleagues review issues and monitor to see if any patterns arise. It's serving us quite well overall. It allows us to look at other items, like application and browser control. It helps us prioritize threats. We have a process in place now where we can review issues and remediate them effectively. We have been able to integrate a variety of Microsoft security products together. We use Azure AD, for example, and we've begun to implement DLP, among other items. We're looking at labeling and tagging and will expand into that soon. Defender has more stringent system requirements than, for example, Check Point. So when we implemented the Check Point Endpoint agent, that solution didn't mind what version of Windows you were using. When we moved to Defender, Defender had certain system prerequisites that had to be met. So we had to make sure that we're on a minimum version of Windows when we're utilizing Office, and Office has to be a particular version as well. It has more stringent system requirements that have to be met before you can implement it. It works natively together with other Microsoft solutions. Once you get more and more of those different components across the environment, then you start to get better visibility. So, rather than having lots of different solutions, you have fewer solutions and a single vendor solution. That way, you start getting into a position where you get better visibility and integration as well. The standardization is good. It's important. It's helping me with monitoring and learning. Updates and upgrades are quite smooth and seamless. Defender helps us automate routine tasks. Quite a lot of Microsoft is straightforward for us now. Previously, we didn't have enough resources and were unable to look at the alerts. Having this in place makes things a lot more straightforward for us. We have both the technology and the people in place now, alongside the process. We do see the benefits in that, and that's why we're continuing our adoption across the estate in terms of client and server as well. It's helping us avoid looking at multiple dashboards and centralized monitoring. We're not fully there yet. We're getting there. While we haven't witnessed time saving yet, once it's fully deployed, it will. By then, we'll have standardized processes across a single solution. We have saved money, however, as we continue to reduce non-Mircosft systems. Since we won't be using various competing technologies, we can save on licensing costs. We've likely so far saved 15%. While it's hard to estimate exactly how much, the solution has helped us decrease time to detection and time to respond.

Makes data meaningful and helps to control an attack early on
Reporting could be a little bit better. They are working on it, and it is getting better. They have different development teams working on this product. Like any bigger organization, they have so many people working and fixing the product, and they have their own development routines and cycles and understanding of the code. It has gotten a lot better, but it has a long way to go. Recently, there were a couple of more reports. What I like is that they listen to the feedback. If we tell them that we need this reporting, they go back and do something about it. It does not get lost in emails or meetings.
