Microsoft Defender XDR Reviews

We use Microsoft 365 Defender to help secure threats of the Office package, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Additionally, it can fix issues.

Microsoft 365 Defender is simple to upgrade.

The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Defender for approximately one year.

Microsoft 365 Defender has been a stable solution.

We have approximately 1,000 people using this solution in my organization. If we expand then we will increase usage.

The support for Microsoft 365 Defender is good.

The installation of Microsoft 365 Defender was automatic when we did the installation of Microsoft Windows.

My internal IT team does the supporting of the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Defender a nine out of ten.

The primary use case for Defender is to control the endpoint systems at the user level. On the networking level, we use it to analyze spam and see if any antivirus services are required or if there's a ransomware attack. As of now, I am just using it for monitoring.

I like that it's stable. It's been stable for a long time, and Microsoft Defender has done a good job there. I can see a lot of changes to Microsoft 365 Defender when I compare what we have now to what we had from 2007 to 2010. They have implemented a ransomware feature, and if any virus comes into the system, it triggers an alert.

The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Defender since 2007.

Microsoft Defender is very stable, and you can see that there is a 99.9% success rate when they give us good service. It's very helpful for configuring anything.

It's definitely easy to scale. However, scalability depends on the plan and requirements.

They have their norms and regulations that they use once a ticket is created. Whatever the technical issues are, they normally resolve them within the timeline or some days. They are good at the technical side of things.

The initial setup is totally easy. It's not complex. It takes just a couple of minutes to deploy this solution.

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.

I would recommend Microsoft Defender to new users. I would advise them to understand their exact requirements and check if it matches before taking it up.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft 365 Defender a seven.

We primarily use the solution for security. We removed all other antivirus products such as McAfee. We removed everything and now use Defender as Defender covers everything all third-party products used to cover.

Overall, we are satisfied with the product.

Instead of using three or four tools for security, we can use one. With one product, Defender, we have all of the features we need. We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks. 

It's very user-friendly.

The dashboards could be improved. They have to improve something about the dashboard. It is good, however, they need to provide some more information under each account.

The logs could be better.

I've been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is a perfectly stable product.

The scalability of the product is good.

Technical support from Microsoft is good. We haven't had any issues with them. We are quite satisfied so far. 

We previously used McAfee, however, we wanted to have just one solution, Defender, to cover everything.

The solution's initial setup is not complex yet not easy. We had to use some scripts and policies and a lot of things. If you set up a new environment with Defender, you have to integrate with the old policy and the same policy that was already set up. It needs time.

I handled everything without any consultation from any outside sources. 

I don't know the cost. The costs are handled by management. I can't say if the cost is expensive or not. I don't handle that aspect.

We're Microsoft partners. 

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's a pretty perfect product.

I use the solution for security against system threats.

I have found the ability to delete unwanted threats beneficial.

The solution could improve by having better machine learning and AI. Additionally, the interface, documentation, and integration could be better.

I have used this solution for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

Microsoft 365 Defender is scalable.

The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it.

I rate Microsoft 365 Defender a seven out of ten.

We use the solution to back up our data frequently.

The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer.

The data recovery and backup could be improved.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable, you do not need to worry about resources. I have more than 50 users using the solution in my organization.

The support provides a 24 hrs service which I am completely satisfied with.

The installation was straightforward it did not take very long to deploy the backup software on any application.

We have six people that do the maintenance of the solution in my organization.

The solutions price is fair for what they offer.

I recommend this solution to others, it is easy to use and they will enjoy it.

I rate Microsoft 365 Defender a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution as security for our endpoints. It covers everything.

The solution is very useful for scanning email traffic.

Practically every company that is working in Microsoft Cloud can use it with a Microsoft 365 subscription.

The product is very easy to use.

So far, I have found the solution to be very stable. I haven't had any issues with it.

It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails.

I've been using the solution for a bit more than one year.

The product is quite stable. It's been problem-free. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

I do not believe the solution is scalable. It's fixed on my PC and I cannot upgrade it. It may be changed from time to time according to the company, however, beyond that, I have no control over expansion.

We have 250 people in our office using the solution.

We have an internal IT department. If I were to have issues, which I haven't, I would go to them. I've never contacted Microsoft's technical support directly. I have no experience dealing with them. I couldn't say if they are helpful or responsive.

I didn't handle the initial setup. That was handled by a technician in my company. It was placed on my PC for me. I don't have any insights in terms of the implementation process.

It may only take one person to install it. They would have to have a bit of knowledge on the product.

We are using the higher-level package which we have to pay a licensing fee for. There are different tiers. Ours includes extended detection with Advanced Threat Protection. It's the most powerful endpoint protection Microsoft offers.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

We sell the product and we use it as well. We are resellers.

We are using advanced endpoint detection in our security for email and a lot of other things, however, it is combined with Cisco solutions, for example, Cisco Umbrella. We have a file solution from IBM, and internally we are using it, however, I am not directly using all of these things. I'm using the administrative part for partnership purposes. I'm not a technical person. I am using them as a customer as part of Microsoft OS.

There is a lot of other tools behind the scenes as well, however, they are working on a network level, on a data center level, to secure the company. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

Microsoft 365 Defender  offers emerging endpoint security technologies, such as EDR and XDR and Zero trust approach

I have been using Microsoft 365 Defender for approximately two years.

Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution.

I am satisfied with the technical support.

The solution is included in Windows 10.

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.

Microsoft 365 Defender is Microsofts first try at a security package as part of Windows.

They are offering different services with Zero Trust security, SIAM security, SOAR security with Azure. They converge all products in the same security center. Microsoft 365 Defender is one strong point to the overall security protection.

I rate Microsoft 365 Defender a five out of ten.
