Has effectively blocked sophisticated attacks and malicious activities while providing excellent support

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is very good, but one suggestion is that in some products, we may need to configure security-related settings, whereas Microsoft Defender for Endpoint works completely differently, providing automatic recommendations and actions that we may need to perform ourselves. Regarding the pricing of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, during the last three years, we set up the product and sold it, but we faced difficulties because Microsoft pricing is always the same. For example, whether I purchase Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for one year or for the next three years, the pricing remains constant with no discounts available. In contrast, competing products offer reduced pricing for long-term commitments, which makes it difficult for us in that environment. Microsoft should consider this option to remain competitive, but otherwise, everything else is fine.

Offers endpoint protection and data loss prevention functionality

The console is in the cloud, while some of the software runs on on-prem endpoint devices. We use Seqrite Endpoint Security as an antivirus product for its data loss prevention functionality. We configure it to define the types of files that can be attached to emails, and then we receive notifications regarding these actions. Most environments have a sizable number of endpoints. Typically, such environments already have a firewall, providing first-level protection. We have two resources to provide support. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. It has still not been deployed in large numbers, so I'm unsure if it caters to all security environments. It can reasonably care for smaller setups of around a hundred user clients. For larger numbers of users, it might require a different kind of product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It integrates very well with all Windows workstations or other Microsoft Endpoint products. It also works quite well. So far, I have not had any issue that hasn't been sorted out. It doesn't use too many resources, so you don't have to install different things."

"The most valuable feature is that we can use the solution right out of the box without too much configuration."

"It can reach our applications and PC activities in the cloud."

"It's a Microsoft product; it's easier to deploy this product than other options."

"The ransomware and malware protection is the most valuable feature."

"The scalability is good."

"Its real-time security is the most valuable."

"It is already integrated with Windows 10, so you don't need to worry about that."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pros

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"They're in the process of pulling more things together. They can continue with the integrations and provide a better way of seeing the impact of security changes, especially on the endpoint side. Before we actually flip the switch, we should be able to see the impact of security changes on the business or business applications. It would prevent breaking any business applications."

"Microsoft support could be more knowledgeable."

"The management console is something that can be improved."

"A concern is ransomware, whether people can penetrate and encrypt my data or steal my credit card/banking information."

"Initially, I experienced performance issues that hampered our servers. However, after setting appropriate exclusions, everything seemed to work fine."

"The product itself does not necessarily need improvement, but the support and implementation of the product are the disaster cases."

"Integration with third-party vendors could be better. It would be better if it integrates with other protection solutions or other products outside of Microsoft. Nowadays, anti-virus protection doesn't really have to be planned as overall protection for your environment in terms of security. There are really different avenues that bad actors can take to wreak havoc on your machine."

"The end-user also cannot do some advanced actions on it. It's a little bit complicated for our end-user, so it needs to be simplified."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint cons

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Microsoft Windows covers Microsoft Defender for Endpoint."

"For me, the pricing is very good, but for management it's very expensive. Other solutions are less expensive. But when I present all the information and all the reports they say, "Well, it's expensive, but the cost-benefit is very good.""

"Licensing models of Microsoft are renowned for being complex. We just purchased the whole E5 stack. With E5 licenses for users, we get access to a bunch of features that are not just related to security. I would rate them a three out of five in terms of pricing."

"There are different licenses, such as E3 and E5."

"You don't need to worry about the renewal and purchase of antivirus products. It is bundled with Windows 10, so you don't need to worry about separately purchasing any antiviruses."

"Even if you are not registered as a not-for-profit, the offering that they have is definitely worth consideration. This is in the sense that the E5 stack just gives you so many benefits. You get your entire productivity suite through Microsoft 365 apps. You get all your security and identity protection. You get the Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Identity. You get the cloud access security broker as well. You get Azure Active Directory Premium P2, which gives you so many good things that you can configure and deploy. You don't have to configure them on day one, but you have access to so many different tools that will protect your data, security, endpoints, and identities that you could build out a security strategy 18 months long, and slowly work your way through it, based on what you have available to you through your license."

"Because Microsoft Defender comes as an add-on, it can be a bit expensive if you're trying to buying it separately. Another option is to upgrade, but the enterprise licenses for Microsoft can also be quite a bit pricey. Overall, the cost of Microsoft Defender compared to that of other endpoint detection solutions is slightly higher."

"This solution is part of an enterprise license we have."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"The license isn't expensive."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
