Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

I use Defender for protection.

The most valuable features are that Defender is user-friendly and part of Microsoft Windows.

Defender's cloud integration could be improved.

Defender is stable, I haven't had any problems with viruses when using it, and it's easy to update.

The initial setup was easy.

I would recommend Defender to anyone thinking of using it, and I rate it as eight out of ten.

I am using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for system alerts of any kind of suspicious items or unusual network traffic. I only use it for personal use.

The initial setup of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint was intuitive, I didn't make any customization, I used what was preset. The installation was done with the Microsoft Windows installation.

The license for Microsoft Windows covers Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. 

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint an eight out of ten.

I do not have to purchase antivirus solutions anymore because Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is integrated into Windows and comes free.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint a ten out of ten.

I haven't experienced any problems.

They could improve the information about how they are dealing with people who could attack minors. This is my main concern. 

Another concern is ransomware, whether people can penetrate and encrypt my data or steal my credit card/banking information. 

I have been using it since 2019.

It performs well. The stability is seamless.

Scalability is not a problem because we don't have servers. We don't do anything more with the computers than use them for studies, reading papers and books, watching movies, and communicating with our family. So, we don't need to scale up.

If they could send me more information, then I could evaluate, read more, and give them opinions. For example, if someone tells me about a problem, then I can give solutions and also write to Microsoft regarding this information.

From the beginning of the pandemic, we received another kind of software when we had to be at home, but it caused us problems with the performance. So, I decided to quit the other software. Then, I installed Windows Defender on all my computers, including my grandchildren's computers.

I was using Sophos previously, but it was causing problems with the performance. For example, when my grandchildren were trying to assume a session, they opened Excel or Word with a 4 GB computer using Windows 10 and then they always lost the connection or the continuities because the computer slowed down. However, when we decided to quit using Sophos and install all the features of Windows Defender, then those problems were resolved.

The initial setup is very easy and straightforward.

My deployment process: I put some checks in the questions that they have. It was very easy. I read about it in the tutorial. I installed it on my entire family's computers (six computers) in less than half an hour.

It is free.

We are totally satisfied with performance and price. However, there is still the question, "Is it safe and secure enough for home, primary-school-age children, and minors?" Despite having a Masters degree in Computer Sciences and Mathematics, I have not been able to say if Microsoft is doing bad or good things.

Many companies may say that they have the best product, but I recommend always watching the news about what a company is doing. Stay informed. Don't be complacent. 

The solution is a nine out of 10.

We use this as our antivirus solution.

Within its class I think, it has a high and decent detection rate.

There were a few detections that are not picked up, and then Microsoft picks up on that and they update it. That's just a normal thing you go through based on every antivirus solution. You're always going to have viruses and signatures that are coming out.

So, I wouldn't say it's the perfect solution because if you're looking at next-generation behavioral based things, for example, if you're going to use ATP, that's when you can get more methods out of it. With Defender, if you pay more you can get the ATP component, which is sold separately by Microsoft.

We do have some challenges in the reporting aspect of it. 

There's a lot of manual effort involved to configure what we need.

There are also a few issues with policies.

Defender by itself is not a solution. Defender is basically a functionality.

We have some issues with reporting, but I think it's just the way we've integrated right now, again not using ATP. So, we just use STC MS management. Then it's limited in terms of reporting.

From an operator's perspective, I think there are some policy detection issues where you've got a detection for a signature but how it translates into the FCCM dashboard where it doesn't really categorize that particular model. It picks something up as bad but it's just unknown.

So, I think that's a known issue with this particular thing. Because it doesn't know what it is classified as it doesn't really do anything. For it to do something, the policy has to recognize the category of that number. It could be a trojan horse or whatever it is, but it doesn't really do that. It could be what they call an autonomous detection where the system categorizes it as not recognized and hence it blocks it, but it's not going to let you delete it instantly. Usually, you can say if it's detected you want to block it, that's the first step. The second step is to be able to delete the file or quarantine the file. But it doesn't recognize that, so it doesn't know what it needs to do. Instead, it just blocks it. It only blocks it because it doesn't recognize it as being Malware.

I would rate this product a six out of ten.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint gives us a second layer of security as well as the third layer of security. One of them is interested in web security and email security. One of them, similar to Cisco, is a Cisco FirePOWER. These are a compilation or a group of devices for security.

We had some issues where phishing and malware were not detected and were allowed to pass unless I mentioned it or we forced the phishing or malware to be blocked, I can't rely on that alone.

Phishing and Malware detection could be better.

Technical support needs improvement.

I have been working with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for one year.

It is stable for the time being. 

I can't add more layers of security because of my budget and business plan, so I try to choose the best and most preferable option for me and my company.

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

In one company, we have two administrators and 30 employees who use this solution.

On a short-term plan, I will not increase the usage. On a larger scale, we intend to increase the license.

In my opinion, technical support is not as effective as it was before. They take a long time to support and investigate the issue.

It takes a long time for them to support and investigate the issue. I believe they must crush the time in order to provide us with our needs, and our objectives.

There are applications and solutions that we have used for five or more years. We almost used Microsoft Link but have since switched to Microsoft Teams and Skype for business. We almost exclusively use Cisco products such as Cisco EMC, Cisco Web security, and Cisco Meraki.

The installation is straightforward. It's a cloud solution that requires some configuration running on the cloud.

The deployment takes a couple of hours to complete.

It's a different story when it comes to security. It takes a different approach. It requires two an administrator and a manager to maintain this solution.

Sometimes the installation and deployment are done by the technical team, and sometimes it's done by others.

Licensing fees are paid annually through a partner.

If I do recommend it, it will not be solely for security purposes. It is possibly for a first-line security platform, and it is required to build a second, third, and possibly fourth business security layer.

I would rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint a seven out of ten.

Usually, the solution is used in relation to keys management. We implemented a program for it, for the lifecycle of the keys. We've also used it for certificate management.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

The stability is very good.

Technical support is good.

The solution is in good condition and offers good functionality.

There are likely some technical improvements or features that could be added, however, I cannot say, off the top of my head, what they would be.

I used the solution in relation to scoping a project. I was doing business analysis.

The solution was very stable.

The solution is scalable.

The technical support for Microsoft is very good.

The initial setup is not difficult or complex. It's very simple and straightforward. 

I do not know how much it costs per month. I cannot say how it compares against the rates of the competition.

We are a Microsoft Customer.

I'm not sure if I would recommend the solution to others. It depends on their requirements. It needs to fit a company's use cases.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

The primary use of this solution is for the detection of malware and to stop phishing. 

One of the valuable features of the solution is the small updates that keep my machine relatively clean from any infections. Additionally, it has good integration with other Microsoft products.  

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. 

I have used the solution for approximately two years. 

I find the solution to be stable. 

I find the solution to be quite easily extended into other environments. It is scalable, I have it on three devices. 

I have previously used the McAfee Stinger product. 

The installation of the solution is easy. I completed it myself and it took approximately 20 minutes. 

The solution comes as a part of Windows 10 and it is covered under its license. 

I will continue to use and would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Microsoft Defender Antivirus an eight out of ten.
