"Monitoring the traffic, making sure you have the visibility."
"One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it."
"We use Microsoft Defender for the antivirus."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization."
"The whole bundle of the product, which is similar to other Microsoft products, is valuable. Ten years ago, you had third-party stuff for different things. You had one solution for email archiving and another third-party one for something else. Nowadays, Microsoft Office covers all the stuff that was formerly covered by third-party solutions. It is the same with antivirus. The functionality is just basic. You have the scanning, and then you also have a kind of cloud-based protection and reporting about your environment. With Microsoft Security Center, you have a complete overview of your environment. You know the software inventory, and you have security recommendations. You can not only see that the antivirus is up to date; you can also see where are the vulnerabilities in your system. Microsoft Security Center tells you where you have old, deprecated software and what kind of CVEs are addressed. It's really cool stuff."
"Its real-time security is the most valuable."
"We have just started to implement it. It is useful for protection from malware and ransomware."
"It's pretty easy to scale."
"This product is flexible, and it is very easy to get updates from the Microsoft website."
"The initial setup is a bit complex in terms of deployment and configuration"
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"It can get a bit laggy sometimes. Other than that, we don't have any issues. They constantly tweak it and fix it up based on users' feedback. It has improved a lot over the past four years. Defender for Endpoint never really used to be a good endpoint security solution, but over the past couple of years, Microsoft has invested heavily in it. So, it has come a long way in all aspects of endpoint security. If they want to make it better, they should just continue investing in the current path of what they've been doing over the past couple of years."
"I am not sure if I will be using this product in the future because of the price."
"I would like to have a dashboard that shows an overview of the results for the enterprise."
"The solution could be more friendly for end-users, with different type of scans or scheduled scans for it."
"The user interface could use some improvement."
"Lowering the price would be an improvement."
"Its user interface (UI) can be improved. Currently, in the console, you have to dig down for certain things. They've got many different layers to get to things instead of having it all on the surface. You have to go three folds lower to get to specific functionality or click a particular option. It would be good if we can manage the console through menus and instead of three clicks, we can do things in one click. They need to change the UI and work on it in terms of a better user experience."
