Provides detailed visibility into threats but the ability to add exceptions needs improvement

One major item for improvement is the ability to add exceptions. We can add some exceptions, but not at the level we need to. The second major area for improvement involves enhanced capabilities for different operating systems or platforms. That is, even though we have coverage for different operating systems or platforms such as Linux, we don't get all of the controls and enhanced capabilities that are available with Windows devices. Reporting could also be improved because, at present, we get limited results at times. For example, in an environment with more than 100,000 devices, you may just get 10,000 results when you run a report.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It shows us the risky sign-ins, and if a user's password has been compromised."

"It does not make Windows slow, as compared to all of the third part antiviruses."

"It depends on the licensing. Most of the customers have got at least a 365 E3 license, and they can use most of the features of Windows 10 Defender. So, anyone who has got an enterprise license can start using those features. Some of the customers have got E5 licenses, and they can use all advanced features. Customers with E5 licenses use the advanced site protection (ATP) features and web content filtering without going via a proxy, which gives the benefit of replacing the proxy. They can get the benefit of MCAS and integration with Intune and the endpoint manager. It is a kind of single platform for all 365 technologies. It helps customers in managing everything through a unified portal."

"File protection is the most valuable feature. Antivirus security on the Level OS, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Guard for 2019."

"It has Kusto Query Language (KQL), so we can use our own queries to find anything."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint comes pre-installed in Microsoft Windows."

"The primary advantage is that you don't need to install it. It's included in the Windows 10 delivery."

"Defender is stable enough and is competitive with the other products in the market."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pros

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"The solution installs very easily."

Cons

"At times, the other antivirus products are now doing AI, in terms of understanding the behavior of the system and determining when there's an anomaly. This is something that Defender can improve on."

"The product should reduce updates since it is hard to keep up."

"We encountered some misbehavior between Microsoft Office Suite and Defender. We had issues of old macros being blocked and some stuff going around the usage of Win32 APIs. There is some improvement between the Office products and Defender, and there is a bunch of stuff that you can configure in your antivirus solutions, but you have several baselines, such as security baselines for Edge, security baselines for Defender, and security baselines for MDM. You have configuration profiles as well. So, there a lot of parts where we can configure our antivirus solution, and we're getting conflicting configurations. This is the major part with which we're struggling in this solution. We are having calls and calls with Microsoft for getting rid of all configuration conflicts that we have. That's really the part that needs to be improved."

"If you have multi-cloud like Google and AWS, the native solutions are better for those particular cases."

"A single dashboard would be a significant improvement."

"Where we stand right now, compared to other products that are there in the market, they still have to work on their threat intelligence and the overall maturity of detecting the malware."

"The deployment of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Windows 10 is not quite so straightforward. This could be made easier."

"The anti-ransomware features need to be improved upon."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we are acquiring everything in a single place, the front end becomes cost-effective."

"The solutions price could be cheaper."

"The base price for an E5 license, which includes Enterprise Mobility + Security E5, is $57 per user per month."

"The product is free of charge and comes integrated into Windows."

"The license cost is around $35 per machine, which is not expensive compared to other products."

"There is not a license required for this particular solution."

"Microsoft Defender is an expensive product in my country."

"They are now doing it on an endpoint basis. It is based on the number of endpoints, which is good."
