Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

We replaced our antivirus with Microsoft Defender, and we are implementing three products. We have Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which is deployed on all our endpoints. We also have Microsoft Defender for Office, which works very well to protect Office documents. 

We are using this solution for MDM and MAM for the endpoints. We are using its latest version.

It integrates very well with all Windows workstations or other Microsoft Endpoint products. It also works quite well. So far, I have not had any issue that hasn't been sorted out. 

It doesn't use too many resources, so you don't have to install different things.

Its price could be better.

We have been using it for three months. 

It is very stable for Windows. 

It has very good scalability. We have 151 users.

I have not directly interacted with them. My colleagues have interacted with them.

We were using another solution that was number three in the market according to Gartner 2019.

There wasn't really much that we had to do because we have Intune, so it was very easy to deploy. We used the Control Panel, and it was deployed on the rest of the machines. What took longer was the onboarding of the machines to Intune, but once they were there, they were all protected. We, of course, had to remove the old antivirus.

We used a partner. We had two people for this.

It is within the same range as other products. It is not too expensive, and it is also not cheap. Its price can be better, but, well, it is Microsoft.

I would recommend this solution to others. I have a lot of good things to say about it. We are still navigating through it, and it has been working very well. We will absolutely keep on using it. 

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

It is installed on my personal computer. I use it to protect my personal computer.

It is stable and very easy to use.

It can be more secure.

I have been using this solution for more than five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

I didn't use their technical support.

It came with Microsoft Windows.

I got it with the Microsoft Windows license.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is very easy to use.

I would rate Microsoft Defender Antivirus an eight out of ten.

We have this security solution activated on 10 different Windows PCs, and we have it for Office 365 products as well.

The most valuable features are that it is flexible, and it is integrated with Microsoft products. That gives us peace of mind.

I like the security center, as well as the full picture of our security profile and insights.

I would like to have additional features such as DNS lookup, which would help for detecting malicious sites. This is a key part that I would like to have, and other products already have it implemented.

I have been using Windows Defender for approximately five months.

Windows Defender is a stable product and we plan to continue using it in the future.

This is a scalable solution. We have between 120 and 140 users right now.

We have not had any problem with the support from Microsoft.

We used a different product prior to this one, but I switched because I have a unified security overview of the corporation. The Security Center is key for being able to work everything from one console.

The initial setup was easy and the installation for the cloud-deployment took no more than an hour.

We deployed with our in-house team. We have two people, not full-time, who take care of deployment and maintenance. They are engineers.

This is a good product and I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Microsoft Windows Defender is used to protect against malware.

The biggest benefit to Windows Defender is that it is built-in to the operating system by Microsoft.

I would like to see improvements made to how it secures activities on web pages.

Web security in general should be improved.

I have been working with Windows Defender for three years.

The technical support from Microsoft is good.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I like that this product comes included with Windows.

This software is easy to use.

It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions.

In the future, I would like to see better integration with web browsers.

I have been using Windows Defender for three years.

Windows Defender is very stable. We have not experienced bugs or glitches at a rate higher or lower than other software.

The scalability is good. Most of the people in the company use it, for a total of about 30 users.

We have not needed to contact technical support.

Microsoft Windows Defender was the first solution of this type that we used. However, we also use the Sophos EPP Suite for endpoint protection.

This solution is part of Windows and comes included with it.

My advice for anybody who is looking into using this product is that it's a good and easy way to secure your PC.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use MWD for detecting malware, viruses and protect from Ransomware.

We don't have third party software for EPS. We have started using Windows defender which is inbuilt one with windows to safeguard our systems from malware. It actually works as an anti-spyware program built to fight unauthorized access and protect our Windows computers from unwanted traffic. 

Its a complete free version which came as in-built with windows and has no impact on our system performance. We don't need an extra software to be installed for security concerns and virus a such. It is very easy to use comparing to other available software's in the market.

I would like to see online updates for patches for this solution. I would also like to see online information about what is trending in the market in terms of spams, viruses, or trojans.

It takes some time to understand how this solution works. A few things are unclear at the beginning, such as whether it actually restricts the virus or spam at the initial stage, or when there is a security update, how will we come to know and how will it get synchronized. It would be really helpful if there is some kind of knowledge base in the form of video, audio, or document that can explain in a user-friendly way the setup, features, risks, and process to mitigate the risks.

Currently, I have installed endpoint security for every individual system. I could not install it like other endpoint solutions where we have a server and a client. It would be really helpful if Microsoft Windows Defender has a server-client based model so that I can save some bandwidth when it downloads or uploads features. It will be helpful if we have a LAN-based or WAN-based controlling system.

I have been using Microsoft Windows Defender for the last six months.

In my experience, Microsoft Windows Defender has never caused any issues as such. It is pretty much stable and has not affected the system resources as per my observation.

The solution is easily scalable. I'm always trying to increase the usage to maximize the capabilities of the product offering. As soon as new capabilities appear I will expand usage to include them. 

We never contacted their technical support. Indeed Microsoft technical support has always been great.

I used to use McAfee & Norton as a different solution in my previous Organization.

Its initial setup is fine. I did not find it too complex. We just installed and enabled it on all the systems.

We implemented in-house. 

I pay for it through the Windows Professional or Standard license. It is a one-time cost for me, and I use the same license.

No

I would really recommend this solution because it is an in-built Microsoft product, and it is at the OS level. We don't require a new layer to install it as a software application. 

I would rate Microsoft Windows Defender a seven out of ten.

I installed Windows Defender for personal use for my protection of my personal PC. I use it as an antivirus system so that I do not have any exposure to viruses on my PC. Obviously, I do not want to leave my PC open to virus threats. I have only used it on my personal PCs with the license I got for Office 365. I keep my patches and descriptions updated on my PC.  

Defender is installed only one one of my laptops. I am sure I will continue using it there as long as the licensing is valid.  

I really have not really worked with it that much to be able to customize my approach with it or anything like that. It pretty straightforward to install and use.  

I do not find that there is very much about it that needs to be improved. Everything can be cheaper I am sure. So, it could be less expansive.  

It has been about six months now since I started using Microsoft Windows Defender.  

It is stable.  

I am sure it is a scalable product.  

I was just using or trying to get a personal PC secure using a product I got as part of the Office 365 package. There was no previous product installed.  

I found that it was pretty straightforward to install and use. You install it and it is working almost immediately.  

I think that the product is affordable. At least it was for me. It is part of the Office 365 package.  

I have used it enough to be sure that I could recommend it for home use on a PC.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate Defender as a nine-out-of-ten based on my experience.  

Our primary use is for protection against malware.

What I like best is that it is part of the operating system, as opposed to a third-party application.

The fact that it's from Microsoft, you don't have many false positives, unlike products from other vendors might have.

Updates occur frequently throughout the day.

I would like to have a dashboard that shows an overview of the results for the enterprise.

We just began using Windows Defender in the company.

We have premium support, which is part of our enterprise agreement with Microsoft.

The deployment takes place with the operating system, so it was not complex.

We used a Microsoft consultant to assist with our implementation.

This product is included in the pricing for Windows.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
