Has effectively blocked sophisticated attacks and malicious activities while providing excellent support

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is very good, but one suggestion is that in some products, we may need to configure security-related settings, whereas Microsoft Defender for Endpoint works completely differently, providing automatic recommendations and actions that we may need to perform ourselves. Regarding the pricing of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, during the last three years, we set up the product and sold it, but we faced difficulties because Microsoft pricing is always the same. For example, whether I purchase Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for one year or for the next three years, the pricing remains constant with no discounts available. In contrast, competing products offer reduced pricing for long-term commitments, which makes it difficult for us in that environment. Microsoft should consider this option to remain competitive, but otherwise, everything else is fine.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is stable and easy to use. Everything is okay, and there are no performance issues."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has significantly impacted our security posture."

"This product is flexible, and it is very easy to get updates from the Microsoft website."

"I like that it's easy to deploy because it already comes with Windows 10. Overall, it has all the features that we need. Easy to deploy, comes with updates, and comes with Windows updates. You don't have to really manage or update the signature."

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

"It's one of the best antiviruses on the market."

"Microsoft Defender can block some viruses or malware. So, it can protect my files. It can save files on Office 365 OneDrive. I use encryption for some files, then I can recover them from OneDrive."

"The attack surface reduction rules are the most valuable. We're able to have unattended remediation actions when the solution works side by side with a local antivirus like Microsoft Defender or Kaspersky. The attack surface reduction rules help us to proactively block and stop threats."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pros

"The solution installs very easily."

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

Cons

"Notifications are always popping up — I hate that."

"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."

"I don't think it's scalable at this moment. It is doing what it's supposed to do, but Microsoft Defender for Endpoint isn't there yet."

"I am not sure if I will be using this product in the future because of the price."

"It is using a large space in your memory all the time. While an antivirus will use some of your memory, if they could reduce the load of the antivirus to some extent that would be good."

"The pricing could be a bit better."

"The UI for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint needs to be better. Integration with client dashboards is also lacking in this product, e.g. client dashboards shouldn't just be viewable from the cloud, because when the client's computer is offline, you won't be able to see the client dashboard."

"This solution needs to move beyond relying on virus definitions alone and protect the system using behavioral analysis of the processes that are running."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution comes free with Microsoft Windows 10."

"You do not need to pay any additional costs for antivirus and anti-malware solutions for endpoint protection."

"There are different licenses, such as E3 and E5."

"When customers haven't deployed the solution and don't have licenses, it can be expensive to start from scratch."

"The price is higher than others because it is doing more than what the others are doing."

"The E5 license is the one that I recommend because it comes with Cloud App Security, which is a good thing to have on top of Microsoft Defender."

"It is so expensive. It isn't cheaper than McAfee or other solutions."

"Licensing fees are paid annually through a partner."
