Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Considering the features provided by the product, I would say that the solution is available at a good price point."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault is its ease of use."
"The GUI was quite easy for me to use."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization."
"It does not make Windows slow, as compared to all of the third part antiviruses."
"We found that because the endpoint devices are based on Microsoft Windows devices and Windows Defender is integrated with the foundation and the core layer, it makes it more integrated and more agile in terms of responding to any security threats or changes or development"
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspects are the reporting analytics and integration with Sentinel. Defender does an excellent job of correlating the different entities that comprise threat analysis, analytics data, and log analytics. It helps to piece together investigations into any exploit or malicious activity within a specific tenant. AI and analytics tools are probably the most valuable components."
"We had Norton Antivirus before, and with Norton, we didn't have a way to centrally manage a lot of features. Defender allowed us to deploy it from our Office 365 admin console. That is probably the biggest thing that made us go with Defender."
"The virus scanning capability is excellent, and it feeds all the logs into the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, making them easy to search for."
"I like the real-time protection features. Windows Defender will detect if there's a threat like a Trojan or something like that but Kaspersky lets it run normally."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is different from other security tools because we can configure it to use multiple types of scanning or archiving."
"The slow response from the support team is one of the shortcomings of the solution that needs to be improved."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"Azure Key Vault takes time to fetch values while integrating it with the code written in .NET format."
"If I consider how some people complain that a solution to store information should be available at a low cost, I would say that Azure Key Vault's price should be made cheaper."
"If multiple clouds are to be used it can be difficult and a third party should assist in the implementation."
"To make it a ten the setup should be more streamlined."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The solution needs to improve its cost."
"The solution should be updated by Microsoft with new features from time to time."
"I would like MDE to have the ability to isolate a certain amount of time on the timeline."
"The solution needs to improve its ransomware. It's not so good. It could also use some general performance optimization for the computers the solution operates on, to ensure it does not slow down the devices."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is secure but when it comes to security all solutions could improve security."
"It should support non-Windows products better. Microsoft is now one of the leading vendors in the security area. So, they should be product-independent."
"It would be helpful if they included XDR features, on top of the EDR functionality."
"Features like device inventory continue to lack essential workstation drill-downs showing the entire device information with the least effort."
