Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

I use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to protect my computer when downloading files. Whether it's documents from my email or web browser, this is the first thing I use the solution for. It also provides protection against ransomware. Additionally, the monthly report indicates the number of infected files that were blocked during that month.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides excellent visibility into known threats, thanks to their comprehensive database of malware information. 

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint helps us prioritize threats across our enterprise according to our needs. We focus on protecting against malware first, followed by email protection, and URLs.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has helped protect our organization against malware.

The ransomware and malware protection is the most valuable feature.

When there is a significant amount of malware, I believe that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint may not be as effective as other firewall solutions. I tested Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and found that it allowed me to download files infected with malware from certain sites, and its protection did not work as expected in that aspect of my work. I suspect this is because I use a GRAPH file with a password, and the solution only detects a file when it's related to clean files or open files. It doesn't seem to recognize encrypted log files that require a password for access.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint does not assist in automating routine tasks or identifying high-value alerts. Therefore, we had to turn to other solutions like Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. Additionally, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint lacks the capability to upload a list of IPs for blocking.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is effective for validating work, but not ideal for investigations. As a result, our experts have to dedicate more time when investigating threats using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint compared to other solutions.

The zero-day detection, as well as the sandboxing for unknown malware and URL detection, needs to be improved. These settings were not functional when we tested the solution.

I have been using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for one year.

I give the stability an eight out of ten.

I give the scalability a ten out of ten.

The deployment is straightforward.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is more affordable compared to some other endpoint solutions.

We evaluated Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet. We found that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint was easier to deploy and offered a better price.

I would rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint a seven out of ten. The solution is stable, easy to deploy, and scalable. However, threat detection could use some improvement.

Our organization is a cybersecurity company, and after using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for one year, we found that it lacked features such as endpoint detection and response. Additionally, it was weak in certain areas, like detecting a set of malware and providing email protection. As a result, we started exploring other solutions, even though they may be more costly.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a basic endpoint protection solution. If you do not combine it with another solution then you will leave yourself open to vulnerabilities. I used Microsoft Defender for Endpoint in conjunction with other solutions, such as Cylance.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should have more transparency. In the latest edition of Windows, Windows 11, it is a compulsory requirement to connect to a Microsoft account, which in turn has implications for Defender. This should be removed.

I have been using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for a few years.

I have not called Microsoft technical support.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint comes pre-installed in Microsoft Windows.

The solution comes as part of Microsoft Windows. 

I wouldn't call Microsoft Defender for Endpoint a solution, I'd call it part of a solution. I don't think I would be going around recommending it.

We started testing our endpoints and preparing to deploy Microsoft Defender about two months ago. 

I would say yes, it is.

Microsoft support is excellent.

Deploying Microsoft Defender took some time because we had to push it through. You can install Symantec using the GUI, but we have to use the GPO to push the agent. It would be nice if Defender streamlined that.

Defender isn't 100 percent deployed yet, but it's working for some employees. When a machine comes on board, Defender will deploy an agent on that device when the script runs. A person logs on, the agent installs, and the device is onboarded.

For companies that are Microsoft shops, I would recommend the product. It saves a lot of integration requirements as compared to other solutions. It's a good product that does what it says it will do.

The solution has good performance, I have not seen a problem.

I have used ClowdStrike previously.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint only provides a basic level of security. I don't find it overly useful or appealing. I can trade it with another endpoint security solution. It's an addition to other endpoint security solutions.

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint a five out of ten.

We're using it in the backend, just for securing our environment. We're not an end-user, we are a Microsoft partner and we are using it as a B2B solution. It's more for customers. From the software side, we provide solutions that are mainly Microsoft-based. 

It's a solution that can exist in the cloud, which makes it very scalable.

The stability keeps getting better and better.

Sometimes it's complicated. It's not intuitive in terms of installation and deployment. When we are making some POCs for customers before engaging and we are testing all the Microsoft security solutions for our customers. We've found it hard so far.

It's not quite a mature solution just yet. It needs more time to grow and develop.

The setup can be a bit difficult. This is expected. We sometimes deal with difficult environments. 

I've been using the solution for two years now. It hasn't been too long. 

The stability is great. It just keeps getting more and more stable. As it matures, it's going to be very good.

The scalability in general is quite good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

Today, we have dozens of clients using the solution and we're expecting to add more. This is our target - to increase the number of customers using the solution.

So far, technical support is okay. We have no complaints. 

The initial setup can be a bit difficult. I have had some feedback from engineers that say sometimes they are struggling and it's not as easy as we would hope. That said, we are dealing with quite complicated solutions, and it's normal to not be as easy. This is not a plug-and-play product. You need to configure it and to add and change parameters and you have to adapt it to the different environments.

How big your technical team needs to be varies according to each deployment. It depends on what is expected and what needs to be done. 

We tend to implement the solution for our clients. 

Clients do need to pay for a license. They vary. Some are charged monthly, others, yearly. There are various options. 

While I cannot speak to the exact version number, we are likely on the latest version. We have an administrative team that makes sure it is updated and takes care of everything for us. 

I would recommend the solution to others. So far, it has been a good product.

I'd rate it overall at an eight out of ten.
