Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"The integration of Defender, Security Center, and the Microsoft compliance score, is the feature we use most to share the results with our clients and to create a roadmap together."
"The virus scanning capability is excellent, and it feeds all the logs into the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, making them easy to search for."
"There are some competitive products on the market, but the best is Microsoft Defender because it's very easy to integrate. That's one reason a lot of clients want Microsoft Defender. It's also very easy to implement compared to other solutions."
"It's great for investigating what's happening on a machine. They show a whole bunch of machine timeline events that are related to a security incident. They have quite good details on the things related to threat and vulnerability management, such as any weakness that has been disclosed publicly, assets that are exposed, and if there is an exploit active in the wild for that vulnerability. It can provide you with all such information, which is cool."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is that it is embedded into the Windows system. Additionally, the performance is good and simple to maintain."
"SPAMfighter's best features are the specific quarantine and the website where you can release your spam whitelisting and blacklisting."
"We encountered some issues when we were trying to enable automatic updates from our group policy."
"I would like to see integrations with other products, such as Spunk and other CM solutions. That would create possibilities for me, and for a SOC, to consolidate all events in an older console, not one provided by Microsoft but provided by a third party, and use it to create more insights."
"The documentation could be better. When they update their manuals, sometimes they refer to products by their old names, so it is a little confusing. For example, the documentation might still say "Advanced Threat Protection" instead of Defender for Endpoint."
"The product should reduce updates since it is hard to keep up."
"Some of the integrations that Defender should include involve the use of the web app."
"It makes your Surface devices hot. It is resource-intensive. It strains your CPU, not more than other file scanners around, but it also does a lot more. When you are transmitting files or data, it is continuously scanning the traffic and analyzing it bit by bit to see what's going on, and that, of course, is costly in terms of CPU. It is CPU intensive, and if you are on battery, it drains your battery fast. That's the only drawback that it has."
"I would like to see improvements made to how it secures activities on web pages."
"It can be more secure."
"SPAMfighter is a little tedious to configure and requires some technical knowledge to understand it."
