"Unified Protection, Limited Integration"
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

I appreciate the deep integration of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with the Microsoft ecosystem. This integration enhances its automated response capabilities, which is invaluable in providing a comprehensive defense strategy. The solution effectively correlates signals across various services such as endpoints, identities, cloud applications, and email. This unified signal sharing system ensures prompt detection and action, such as instantly connecting the dots when a phishing email detected in Outlook is associated with lateral movement attempts on an endpoint. Moreover, the initial setup of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint was smooth and posed no specific challenges, which makes the onboarding process efficient and hassle-free.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

I find challenges with third-party integration on non-Microsoft platforms. Additionally, the licensing complexity and limitations in centralized management are areas that I believe need improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Endpoint security solution that includes EDR, ASR, Email Security and more"
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

We use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on a very large deployment and most of the endpoints were previously running Cortex XDR. Defender provides high level of protections against cyber treats. Our GSOC team investigates incidents and deploys security policies via the Microsoft Defender portal. We were able to detect and stop cyber attacks in the very early stages and this helps us keep the environment clean. So far we haven't had any major incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

It takes a lot of training and constant learning, managing the security policies for all protection modules is a complex process. There is no Linux support at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Enterpirse Security Solution"
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

It provides endpoint protection against cyber threats. It has a combination of machine learning , behavioural analytics and the best part which I personally like is that it has cloud-based security intelligence to detect and response to the threats in real-time. It is seamlessly works with Windows, Mac.

The best thing about the EDR is that it can analyze the behavior patterns and trriger alerts when unusual or malicious activities are detected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

There are two, three things I want to mention about the EDR which I personally felt to mention is that it's complex liscensing model it can be confusing to the new user and for thr intermidiate as well , defender for endpoint is included in different packages and organizations may need help understanding which features are included in which package.

And the last thing I want to mention is intensive resource utilization on certain devices , perticularly on the older devices the software can be resource-intensive which may cause trouble in performance degradation, mainly during scans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
