Featured Reviews

Sukkanta Banerjee - PeerSpot reviewer
A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.
John Rallo - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent visibility into vulnerabilities and the attack surface itself
Attack surface reduction and limiting attack surface vectors are valuable features. It's helpful to isolate specific devices and get super granular with the features they offer. The visibility into the attack surface is good. It gets highly granular. I don't work on that side, but the people who do tell me they get more visibility.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has significantly impacted our security posture."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and the updates are very simple."
"Defender for Endpoint is a robust solution that works well out-of-the-box."
"Its threat intelligence feature is beneficial. This solution smoothly integrates with SIEM."
"The best part is that it is built into Windows, whether it is a server base or a desktop base, which gives more control over the operating system. Because Defender, the operating system, and the Office solution are by Microsoft, everything is working like hand-in-glove. Its administrative overhead is less because a desktop user has already got some experience of how to handle a Microsoft Defender notification or administer it."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The automatic attack disruption feature in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint works great."
"Defender has very little impact on the end-user and the agent works quite well with a minimal impact on the client and server."
 

Cons

"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The price, in general, could always be a little bit cheaper."
"We encountered some issues when we were trying to enable automatic updates from our group policy."
"The system can always be simplified and have a better integration check. More detailed reports would be good. When it does the integrated check, it just shows if the system is okay but I want to know what happened."
"The solution can be more user-friendly."
"If they integrate with the EDR then it will benefit this solution."
"The solution needs to improve its ransomware. It's not so good. It could also use some general performance optimization for the computers the solution operates on, to ensure it does not slow down the devices."
"A concern is ransomware, whether people can penetrate and encrypt my data or steal my credit card/banking information."
"With the XDR dashboard, when you're doing an investigation and you're drilling down to obtain further details it tends to open many different tabs that take you away from your main tabs. You can end up having 10 tabs open for one investigation. This is another area for improvement because you can end up getting lost in the multiple tabs. Therefore, the central console can be improved so that it does not take you to several different pages for each investigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"The license for Microsoft Windows covers Microsoft Defender for Endpoint."
"It is an expensive solution. It would be nice if it could be included with the Microsoft Office package."
"Given our extensive Microsoft licensing, transitioning to Defender for Endpoint did not affect licensing costs."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can be costly as a standalone solution."
"Defender doesn't cost that much. When you use Microsoft technology, you can start with the free version and see how much the technology helps your organization solve security problems before you use the subscription. They also do this pay-as-you-go model, so you only pay when you use it."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint comes with Windows 10, and it's free. But for you to be able to manage it in the cloud and use the console, you need to have either an Office 365 E5 subscription or a Microsoft M365 subscription. You need to buy an extra license."
"The price of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is reasonable. Other solutions are more expensive, such as ClowdStrike."
"Microsoft Defender ATP is expensive."
