Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

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.

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.

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint a five 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.
