Defender is an antivirus program available at a lower price than other products, like Symantec, McAfee, etc.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offers real-time protection against threats such as malware and ransomware with seamless integration into Windows, providing easy deployment and automatic updates. Its threat management system provides visibility and risk prioritization, though CPU usage may increase on Azure VMs. Limited firewall customization, integration issues with tools like Splunk, and organizational shortcomings in logging and alerts highlight improvement areas for enterprise buyers.
