Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."Microsoft's technical support is fantastic."
"It is quite stable. We have not had any cases, i.e., viruses, that would require a reboot, etc. We have never had a situation where we needed to reinstall the tools as a result of the Defender application or a feature being corrupt."
"I am using it for very simple purposes. It is perfect and quite effective. I have been using it for a while, and I have never had any virus infection, data leak, or other security breaches. It works fine for standalone purposes. If you log on to OneDrive, it has ransomware protection."
"I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."
"The most important and the most relevant features of Defender for Endpoint are the malware and ransomware protection."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is quite good. We haven't really experienced any issues with it."
"The fact that it's from Microsoft, you don't have many false positives, unlike products from other vendors might have."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"Microsoft Defender in the basic form is not very useful for managing the security environment. The free version is not capable of covering the needs of centralized management, EDR, and behavioral analysis. If you don't have the commercial version, you can't have centralized management and set up the policies and other things. Each client is a standalone installation, which is not useful for security in an enterprise model."
"I would like to see improvement from a management perspective. We have had to depend on Intune for certain tasks."
"They can improve it on the online protection front since people nowadays are moving online and working from home."
"Sometimes, there are different skews. In a basic skew, they should have basic log analysis without the need to integrate with any third-party or SIEM solutions, like Sentinel. This would make it so much easier for users who don't have log collection or log analysis."
"The end-user also cannot do some advanced actions on it. It's a little bit complicated for our end-user, so it needs to be simplified."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"I would like to see fewer pop messages and alerts."
"There is a lot of information to take in, and the portals tend to change quickly due to the fast-paced nature of the industry."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
