Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a very scalable tool that can be used in a very small environment or in a very large environment. Everything can be managed from a simple dashboard and can be scaled up or down depending on the customer's environment.""The ability to hunt that IM data set or the identity data set at the same time is valuable. As incident response professionals, we are very used to EDRs and having device process registry telemetry, but a lot of times, we do not have that identity data right there with us, so we have to go search for it in some other silo. Being able to cross-correlate via both datasets at the same time is something that we can only do in Def""I like how Microsoft XDR and the other Microsoft products are integrated into a single unified security stack covering identity access management, endpoint protection, email, cloud applications, etc.""For me, the advanced hunting capabilities have been really great. It allowed querying the dataset with their own language, which is KQL or Kusto Query Language. That has allowed me to get much more insight into the events that have occurred. The whole power of 365 Defender is that you can get the whole story. It allows you to query an email-based activity and then correlate it with an endpoint-based activity.""Setting up Microsoft 365 Defender is easy. It's a user-friendly solution that provides threat protection. It has good stability and scalability.""Microsoft 365 Defender is simple to upgrade.""Microsoft 365 Defender is a good solution and easy to use.""It has been great for us. Previously, we didn't have a solution to protect us, especially from malware, whereas now, we are getting protection up front, especially from the malware attacks coming through emails or endpoints."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Pros →

"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max.""Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up.""There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs.""After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours.""The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten""What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions.""Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest.""It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."

More Fidelis Elevate Pros →

"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward.""We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy.""The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible.""Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference.""It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment.""It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection.""The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network.""Dynamic Application Containment."

Cons
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot.""My client would like the solution to be more customizable without using code. You can only build on the default console, but we're not allowed to change it.""The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need.""The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement.""The licensing is a nightmare and has room for improvement.""Offboarding latency should be reduced. Even after a device has been successfully offboarded using a particular offboarding script, it still shows up as onboarded.""It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails.""Sometimes, configurations take much longer than expected."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new.""Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex.""The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved.""The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface.""I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.""Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement.""There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."

More Fidelis Elevate Cons →

"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats.""Its pricing needs to be improved.""Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past.""The resolution time should be faster.""The security of this solution needs improvement.""The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support.""The software download features could stand improvement.""Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solutions price is fair for what they offer."
  • "The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
  • "Microsoft is not competitive with the pricing of the solution. The competitors are able to offer lower discounts. The price of the solution is higher."
  • "We have a lot of problems in Latin America regarding the price of Microsoft 365 Defender, because the relationship between dollars and the money of the different countries, it's is a lot. Many customers that have small businesses say that they would like the solution but it is too expensive. However, large companies do not find the cost an issue."
  • "The most valuable licensing option is expensive, so pricing could be improved. Licensing options for this solution also need to be consolidated, because they frequently change."
  • "Microsoft should provide lower-level licensing options. They should do it in such a way that even an individual could purchase a license, and it should be entirely flexible."
  • "They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."
  • More Microsoft Defender XDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
  • "It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
  • "Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
  • "It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
  • More Fidelis Elevate Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
  • "Pricing is fair."
  • "No comment."
  • "The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
  • "This product is costly."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “It has a great console. We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy. Every year we are getting the benefits of legacy also. It's easy to set up.” - S Fazlul H., IT Lead Engineer, Information Technology at Banglalink

    “There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec.” - Sabari K. Senior Engineer at a comms service provider
