"Excellent vulnerability checking and top-tier functional security"
What do you like best about Microsoft Defender for Business?

If you use Intune, you can add capabilities such as system-hardening policies to further improve security. Furthermore, Defender's vulnerability checking is extremely sensitive, and it automatically detects and reports vulnerabilities on all domain-connected machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Business?

The defender's reporting is disjointed, and its URL filtering mechanism does not function properly. I would like to see more fine-grained URL filter control in the next release and more reporting options, such as the ability to generate a scheduled report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
