Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
"The most valuable aspect is information, specifically the automatic investigation of packages."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to effectively detect threats. It has the EDR feature, endpoint detection and response, and that is very good."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is different from other security tools because we can configure it to use multiple types of scanning or archiving."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"Defender has very little impact on the end-user and the agent works quite well with a minimal impact on the client and server."
"This is not an inventory solution, but it helps you take count of how many workstations you have, as well as what software is installed on each of them."
"It automatically detects intrusion and malware."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
"We encountered some misbehavior between Microsoft Office Suite and Defender. We had issues of old macros being blocked and some stuff going around the usage of Win32 APIs. There is some improvement between the Office products and Defender, and there is a bunch of stuff that you can configure in your antivirus solutions, but you have several baselines, such as security baselines for Edge, security baselines for Defender, and security baselines for MDM. You have configuration profiles as well. So, there a lot of parts where we can configure our antivirus solution, and we're getting conflicting configurations. This is the major part with which we're struggling in this solution. We are having calls and calls with Microsoft for getting rid of all configuration conflicts that we have. That's really the part that needs to be improved."
"It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions."
"It's not quite a mature solution just yet. It needs more time to grow and develop."
"The reporting in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should improve. The solution has limited features."
"Microsoft should improve support for third-party platforms, because not all functionality is available for all of them. It's a good product, but they should just extend the functionality for all platforms."
"Alerts need to be sent immediately because as it is now, you see some of them without delay and others arrive perhaps 30 minutes later, and it leaves important gaps in terms of information gathering."
"Its interface can be improved a little bit. We would like to have some sort of centralization. It should have something like a central server that is managing all the other clients. There are solutions from Kaspersky or ESET NOD32 that are really doing this kind of thing currently. We would like to see something similar from Microsoft."
"They're in the process of pulling more things together. They can continue with the integrations and provide a better way of seeing the impact of security changes, especially on the endpoint side. Before we actually flip the switch, we should be able to see the impact of security changes on the business or business applications. It would prevent breaking any business applications."
