Alexander Rozenberg - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers endpoint protection with low maintenance costs
I have experience with other products like Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and a lot of other products in the market. Some companies offer competitive solutions, but I think if you want a one-stop shop for everything, then Microsoft is the best. There is a difference between Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. Trend Micro or Kaspersky offer more niche products. Microsoft offers products to cover most of the area in the company.
