Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

We use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for threat protection.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are the ease of use and it was available within the operating system.

The biggest issue I had with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint was the antivirus and ransomware. I wanted central visibility over all the machines that we operate.

I have used Microsoft Defender for Endpoint within the past 12 months.

We have approximately 10 to 15 people using the solution in my organization.

The technical support from Microsoft is good.

The initial installation could have been easier.

There is an annual license required.

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

We use Defendor for endpoint monitoring. It alerts us when a machine has issues, and we take the necessary steps to resolve them.

We are a Microsoft shop, and Defender is a Microsoft solution that provides some security at a reasonable cost.

I want Microsoft Defender to have the ability to deal with some issues automatically, so I don't need to address that issue manually.

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.

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint eight out of 10. It's a cost-effective solution for Microsoft shops.

Defender is an antivirus solution deployed on all Microsoft PCs. Thousands of employees at my company use it. 

Defender works in the background monitoring the traffic for viruses.  

Defender could be more secure and stable.

We've been using Microsoft Defender for a couple of years.

Setting up Defender is straightforward. My administrator takes care of all that. 

I rate Microsoft Defender eight out of 10. 

Most of my clients use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for attack and threat prevention. I always look at the alert page to get alert details. This solution is also used for EDR (endpoint detection and response). We also use it for web content filtering and for completely automated investigations.

What I found most valuable in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is its vulnerability dashboard. It's fantastic for my clients and I.

In my experience, I only need the client dashboard in the cloud and in the server. For my dashboards in the cloud, I can set up and see everything. I can check alerts, e.g. I'm alerted when something happens, but when my client is offline, and I want to look for something offline, e.g. directly on his computer, I'm not able to see everything. My client's computer needs to be online for me to be able to see the information I need, and this is an area for improvement.

There should be integration of this solution with client dashboards. I need to see some of the dashboards directly from the computers of my clients, rather than just their cloud dashboards. If the dashboard is only viewable from the cloud, I will not be able to view it when the computer is offline.

What I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a better UI. Another suggestion to improve this solution is having endpoint protection offline, e.g. I'll set up a file on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and all the network, so my ISP goes in and out through the Defender server. Rather than just being on cloud, they must make an appliance for on-premises deployment.

I started using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint six months ago, so I've been using it for half a year.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a very stable solution.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a scalable solution.

I have no complaints about the technical support for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

The initial setup for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint was super easy for me.

Implementing this solution is done in-house. I'm the one implementing it. I can set it up for multiple clients weekly, e.g. five clients a week.

I'm using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for myself and for my clients. I'm a partner of Microsoft.

I'm the one in charge of the deployment and maintenance of this solution.

My advice to someone planning to use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is that it's super easy to understand, whether you have no prior knowledge of it, or you want to learn more about it. You can also learn more about security, particularly information security.

My rating for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is nine out of ten.

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.

I rate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint an eight out of ten.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is useful for the protection of your business information and threat prevention.

The deployment of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Windows 10 is not quite so straightforward. This could be made easier.

I have been using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for four years. 

I am satisfied with the stability of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. 

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is scalable. Currently, we have 600,000 users in our organization.

I have never contacted the technical support. 

The company pays for the license so I do not know much about that. 

I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

Just as the name states, we use this solution to defend endpoints. 

We're actually in the process of moving away from this solution. We are beginning to use SentinelOne.

For me, It's just a standard malware and antivirus solution — nothing more, nothing less. 

I personally haven't experienced any pain points, but some of my coworkers feel that it isn't secure enough.

It would be nice if they could guarantee that we'll always be safe and secure with them. 

I have been using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for roughly four years. 

For me, this solution is both reliable and stable. 

I have never had to contact their technical support. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is quite good. We haven't really experienced any issues with it.

I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to other users. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. 

Defender's endpoint protection is good.

I've been using Defender for less than one year. Defender is free for one year. Once that year is over, we will switch to Kaspersky.

Defender is stable. The performance is good.

In terms of scalability, I rate Defender 10 out of 10. 

I haven't dealt with Microsoft support for this product.

It's easy. Defender came pre-loaded on our computers.
