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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a straightforward setup."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is free and part of the licensing stack of other Microsoft products."

"Stable endpoint manager, antivirus, and antimalware, with fast technical support and a straightforward setup."

"The solution has an easy-to-use interface, is always updated, and is user-friendly."

"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."

"It's not really visible for the user - which is a benefit."

"The scalability is good."

"We can react to threats faster and stop them from spreading from one machine to another. It protects from suspicious email attachment downloads. It will lock down the SOC and the workstations."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pros

"SPAMfighter's best features are the specific quarantine and the website where you can release your spam whitelisting and blacklisting."

Cons

"We'd like the stability to be better."

"The log searches for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are pretty difficult to navigate. It needs a better UI or more intuitive search and filter mechanisms to make it easy to get through and filter through all the data logs."

"Its price could be better."

"The only issue I would say is our mobile endpoints do not have Defender installed for part of them. An additional feature that could be included in the next release is free Copilot."

"If a threat actor comes in, and creates a global administrative account, they can gain access to everything and whitelist then block everything else. Having everything, including Defender, under one brand is like having all of your eggs in one basket."

"I would like to see improvements made to how it secures activities on web pages."

"This solution is not secure, which is why I have moved to Linux."

"I would like the solution to be able to prevent unauthorized programs from installing and to block unauthorised URLs which is similar to web filtering product."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint cons

"SPAMfighter is a little tedious to configure and requires some technical knowledge to understand it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We went for Microsoft Defender once we were informed that it would be part of our Office 365 package. So, we combined the licensing for the OS with Office 365. Yeah. We thought it was a good bargain."

"Licensing options vary. Some customers buy it as an enterprise agreement and pay yearly. Others buy it as a CSP, so they pay per month. It completely depends on the customer's needs."

"The price of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is reasonable. Other solutions are more expensive, such as ClowdStrike."

"The price for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is about three euros, which is considered reasonably priced."

"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."

"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."

"The price is higher than others because it is doing more than what the others are doing."

"We have a bundle where the price includes all Microsoft products."

"SPAMfighter has yearly maintenance prices."
