Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."Microsoft Defender for Endpoint comes pre-installed in Microsoft Windows."
"The most important and the most relevant features of Defender for Endpoint are the malware and ransomware protection."
"We are able to productively integrate with existing on-prem, hybrid, or cloud applications."
"One feature I like the most is vulnerability management, which shows any vulnerable software or OS present in my environment. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides a complete overview and also recommends the steps to mitigate the vulnerabilities or threats. Most of the other antivirus or EDR solutions generally don't provide vulnerability management. It is an add-on that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides."
"The integration with all variations of Microsoft Defender, for Endpoint, 365, and Cloud is valuable."
"For threat-hunting, I'll put some threats in a test scenario. I've downloaded known viruses that are out in the public for testing. They're not really a virus but they've got a signature. Defender for Endpoint will automatically find those, quarantine them for me, and alert me to what it did. It gives me "automated eyes.""
"The most valuable aspect lies in its automation capabilities, particularly within security automation."
"It's very easy to scale because it comes built-in with Windows 10, and you just need to enable it. This can be done on scale using group policies or through Endpoint Manager on cloud or Intune."
"SPAMfighter's best features are the specific quarantine and the website where you can release your spam whitelisting and blacklisting."
"The GUI is very complex and could be more user friendly."
"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."
"It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions."
"Some of the integrations that Defender should include involve the use of the web app."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint does not provide much flexibility in terms of threats."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"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."
"They should come up with pre-built inner workflows."
"SPAMfighter is a little tedious to configure and requires some technical knowledge to understand it."
