This is a solution perfectly compatible with the Windows operating system. This makes them easy to configure and manage for people familiar with Microsoft tools. From the device side, it ensures safety and risk that even an unintentional threat will be quickly detected, removed and properly communicated to the team responsible for security as well as to the end user.

Detailed reports and statistics provide a very good insight into the security of networks and end machines, but most of this data is reserved for administrators, not the end user, who is the last to learn about threats and potential vulnerabilities. I lack security analysis capabilities for the end user, who ultimately can only scan the machine for threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Advanced threat hunting through KQL (this is a prerequisite though) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really that didn't like.

Probably, Microsoft is complicating Security defender portal by adding all its security products alerts into single dashboard. This is currently creating silos to L1 members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dashboard is great, onboarding devices is simple with Intune in the picture, a tool which will be boom in the future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting part needs some improvement, also the RBAC functionality needs lot of improvement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the mechanisms it follows to make sure the users, servers etc are prevented from any intruders. The implemetation of the solution was so easy that we didnt even realize when we got the final check call. Before this, we faced some issues with the other solutions that we tried integrating in our system but they somehow failed but this proved us wrong. It gives us a side edge for preventing,protecting from and detecting the threats to endpoints. Its a part of Microsoft Defender, it makes this solution a relaible threat protector for companies like us. It helps us to check the endpoints i.e., the devices our end users or employees use to get into the HQ servers or their regional office servers present in hteir country or in nearby areas. Thus protecting us by onboarding them on to the secure system. It does all this in the real time without us realizing the time taken to do it without relying on the periodic scans. After finding out any vulnerability in the system it takes action automatically and nulifies the effect of that threat. I personally like the microsoft experts who take care of all our problems when whenever we got into one. Also without it, i feel that we would have been in a lot of trouble considering the WFH or remote users in our organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such as of now. However, there is always a room for improvement. Bringing more would obviously make a user feel more valued. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint the best part is free with OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It should have more protection features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is lauded for its comprehensive security features. Its real-time threat detection and response capabilities stand out, safeguarding systems against a wide array of cyber threats. The seamless integration with the Windows environment enhances user experience, minimizing disruptions while providing robust protection.

Moreover, the platform's versatility caters to different organizational needs, adapting to various network environments. The inclusion of endpoint detection and response (EDR) features empowers users to investigate and mitigate security incidents promptly. Overall, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is favored for its reliability, adaptability, and its role in fortifying the security posture of businesses and individuals alike.

Some users express concerns about occasional false positives in threat detection, which can lead to disruptions. While Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has improved in this aspect, it's an area where user experience could be further refined. Additionally, the system's resource consumption during scans may impact device performance, causing slowdowns in certain scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is another aspect that I find highly commendable. It is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing for easy navigation through the dashboard. The detailed reports provide valuable insights into the security status of endpoints, enabling quick response to potential security incidents. Real-time monitoring and alerts contribute to a proactive security stance, empowering users to stay ahead of potential threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the user interface is generally intuitive, new users may experience a learning curve, especially if they are not familiar with Microsoft's security ecosystem. Additional onboarding resources or tutorials could help expedite the familiarization process for users new to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amount of features it has to help any org to acheive their security goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI can be improved a little bit. You have to navigate through numerous menus to get the info you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing that I like about Defender is it's integration with AI and giving better detections of the advanced threat. It wuill take automatic remmidiation actions to prevent attack executions. It is better than its market competitors fir tracking the actions, you can create complex queries and detections which will be customised if you know KQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I would want Microsoft Defender to improve is that we donot have visibility in the alert logic/query. We can find the description of the alert but cannot find the query for the default rules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft defender for endpoint undoubtedly provides the best threat protection. The way it utilizes the knowledge of Machine learning against malwares is commendable. It's seamless integration with Azure provides an awesome security ecosystem helping security teams alot. It's Endpoint detection has helped the security teams in quick investigation. Overall, it's a total game changer when comes to modern security threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What i have disliked about microsoft defender is it's compatibility with non- windows platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
