Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

We use this solution for business security protection.

One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it.

There is room to improve the security of the solution.

We have plans to add an email security solution because this solution does not provide us with what we want.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the scalability of the solution good.

We were previously using the Avast security solution.

The installation is very easy, it takes only one day.

We did the implementation ourselves. We have approximately 10 engineers able to do the deployments and maintenance. 

There is not a license required for this particular solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Defender Antivirus an eight out of ten.

It can reach our applications and PC activities in the cloud.

Notifications are always popping up — I hate that. It could also be easier to use and more robust, overall. 

I have been using Microsoft Defender Antivirus for roughly two years. 

Within our organization, there are roughly 500 employees covered by Microsoft Defender Antivirus.

We have a team of 10 employees that handle all maintenance-related issues. We definitely plan to continue using this solution. 

Microsoft Defender Antivirus could be more scalable. 

I am satisfied with the technical support. 

Microsoft Defender Antivirus is easy to install. Installation takes half an hour, maximum.

Microsoft Defender Antivirus integrates automatically. 

You need a license to use this solution. 

We evaluated McAfee MOVE antivirus. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven. If they improved the scalability, I would give it a higher rating.

Our primary use case for Windows Defender is to prevent malware and viruses. Security is the main purpose that it is used for by our organization.

We are no longer buying a separate antivirus with Windows 10 Server Enterprise. We are no longer buying antivirus solutions where there is no compatibility with Windows 10.

The malware features are most valuable for us because if you have an application that attacks, it is defended. It gives you a prompt and doesn't allow you to launch that app. 

If there's an application that has suspicious malware you downloaded from the internet, it gives you a prompt to prevent the application from launching.

Microsoft Windows Defender moves it to the recycle bin automatically.

Microsoft Windows Defender doesn't have a game mode. Other antivirus software (like BitDefender) have something known as a game mode. 

If you want to play a game, just enable the game mode to allow certain traffic without needing to configure it. Windows Defender doesn't have that.

There's no Windows Server edition for Windows Defender as part of the distribution.

In my experience, Microsoft Windows Defender has never caused any issues in operation. It is very stable. It doesn't affect the system.

Since it's a Microsoft product, scalability is top-notch. This shouldn't be an issue.

I have never had a problem with technical support. I didn't use it. I have never had any performance issues with it.

We used Bitdefender, McAfee, and Norton antivirus software previously. Those are the main experiences that we have. We used all of those at various times.

Microsoft Windows Defender installs automatically. There's no setup procedure. When you install Windows Suite or Enterprise on your machine, it installs quickly. 

There's nothing that might disturb it being activated. It installs with the operating system.

It's free because it comes with Windows. It's a free solution. We're not paying any license.

That's why it's better than Bitdefender, McAfee, or Norton. It's free.

For Windows Defender, there's no server edition for it. It's free. There is no additional cost. It's part of Windows, i.e. if you have issues with compatibility using other products. 

If you paid for Windows, it already comes with Windows Pro and Windows Enterprise automatically. It's better to go with it than pay the additional expense of deploying other solutions.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate this product a nine. It doesn't have all the features that it needs to be perfect.

We use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for threat protection.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are the ease of use and it was available within the operating system.

The biggest issue I had with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint was the antivirus and ransomware. I wanted central visibility over all the machines that we operate.

I have used Microsoft Defender for Endpoint within the past 12 months.

We have approximately 10 to 15 people using the solution in my organization.

The technical support from Microsoft is good.

The initial installation could have been easier.

There is an annual license required.

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

We use Defendor for endpoint monitoring. It alerts us when a machine has issues, and we take the necessary steps to resolve them.

We are a Microsoft shop, and Defender is a Microsoft solution that provides some security at a reasonable cost.

I want Microsoft Defender to have the ability to deal with some issues automatically, so I don't need to address that issue manually.

We started testing our endpoints and preparing to deploy Microsoft Defender about two months ago. 

I would say yes, it is.

Microsoft support is excellent.

Deploying Microsoft Defender took some time because we had to push it through. You can install Symantec using the GUI, but we have to use the GPO to push the agent. It would be nice if Defender streamlined that.

Defender isn't 100 percent deployed yet, but it's working for some employees. When a machine comes on board, Defender will deploy an agent on that device when the script runs. A person logs on, the agent installs, and the device is onboarded.

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint eight out of 10. It's a cost-effective solution for Microsoft shops.

We're using it in the backend, just for securing our environment. We're not an end-user, we are a Microsoft partner and we are using it as a B2B solution. It's more for customers. From the software side, we provide solutions that are mainly Microsoft-based. 

It's a solution that can exist in the cloud, which makes it very scalable.

The stability keeps getting better and better.

Sometimes it's complicated. It's not intuitive in terms of installation and deployment. When we are making some POCs for customers before engaging and we are testing all the Microsoft security solutions for our customers. We've found it hard so far.

It's not quite a mature solution just yet. It needs more time to grow and develop.

The setup can be a bit difficult. This is expected. We sometimes deal with difficult environments. 

I've been using the solution for two years now. It hasn't been too long. 

The stability is great. It just keeps getting more and more stable. As it matures, it's going to be very good.

The scalability in general is quite good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

Today, we have dozens of clients using the solution and we're expecting to add more. This is our target - to increase the number of customers using the solution.

So far, technical support is okay. We have no complaints. 

The initial setup can be a bit difficult. I have had some feedback from engineers that say sometimes they are struggling and it's not as easy as we would hope. That said, we are dealing with quite complicated solutions, and it's normal to not be as easy. This is not a plug-and-play product. You need to configure it and to add and change parameters and you have to adapt it to the different environments.

How big your technical team needs to be varies according to each deployment. It depends on what is expected and what needs to be done. 

We tend to implement the solution for our clients. 

Clients do need to pay for a license. They vary. Some are charged monthly, others, yearly. There are various options. 

While I cannot speak to the exact version number, we are likely on the latest version. We have an administrative team that makes sure it is updated and takes care of everything for us. 

I would recommend the solution to others. So far, it has been a good product.

I'd rate it overall at an eight out of ten.

I'm using Defender at home for antivirus protection.

Defender should be fine for home use. It has all the basic functionality you need. I can't speak to how well it works as an enterprise solution because I'm not in the space. 

I have limited knowledge of Defender, so I can't comment on what the product needs because I'm not a security expert. I'm not in that space to say what components are missing compared to competitors.

I've been using Defender for a couple of years now.

Defender is a highly stable product.

Defender is scalable.

Microsoft support could be more knowledgeable.

Defender is an easy product to set up, and it takes less than 3 minutes.

I rate Defender seven out of 10. 

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is used for system security.

The performance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has been a valuable feature.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by adding more security features.

I have been using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for approximately five years.

The stability of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is good.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable.

We have approximately 30 people using the solution in my organization.

We have used eScan Endpoint Security.

The initial installation of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is straightforward. After the operating system was installed the solution only took a few minutes to install.

We did the implementation ourselves.

We have a local team of ten engineers that provide support to the solution.

The solution is included with Microsoft Windows.

If anyone is looking for an antivirus instantly, they can enable Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on their Windows operating system. If they are still thinking of buying endpoint security in the future. They can use the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint in the meantime.

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