Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Reviews

I am a Taiwan sole company reseller. We sell commercial software to enterprise customers.

I use the Microsoft Defender for scanning the antivirus or some hacker tools.

We sell the Microsoft solution for enterprise customers. We recommend to customers that they can use Microsoft Defender Antivirus.

Microsoft Defender can block some viruses or malware. So, it can protect my files. It can save files on Office 365 OneDrive. I use encryption for some files, then I can recover them from OneDrive.

The central console needs improvement. Both McAfee and Symantec antivirus have dashboards. These integrate with a server and work on my antivirus or some other product. However, with Microsoft Defender, you use Microsoft Group Policy Object. Defender does not provide a central console. Therefore, if you implement Defender, then maybe use another tool for the central view.

I have been using Microsoft Defender Antivirus for more than two years.

In general, Defender Antivirus can work with my operating system. So, its performance is okay.

Defender can integrate with other Office 365 security products. 

We just search for knowledge from Google.

My company deploys Symantec antivirus. However, when we buy a laptop, it includes Windows 10, which has Defender antivirus installed. Therefore, we use both antivirus software, Symantec and Defender.

We did not deploy Microsoft Defender Antivirus. It simply came preloaded with Windows 10.

I would recommend using Group Policy Object to deploy this solution and enable some functions.

You just pay Windows 10 prices, then you have antivirus software. As a price comparison, Defender's costs are very low.

We sell the Microsoft 365 solution to customers. If a customer wants Windows 10 Defender, they can choose Defender ATP in Office 365.

I would rate this solution as a five or six out of 10.

I primarily use this solution for the safety of my PC. It protects me against ransomware and other types of viruses.

Microsoft Defender has indicated problems with some websites that I was able to remove.

A few years ago, when I was using a different product, I was affected by a virus that destroyed everything. Since using Microsoft Defender, I have not had this kind of problem.

The most valuable feature is that it helps protect me against any type of virus that might attack my system.

The performance is good.

Lowering the price would be an improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Defender Antivirus for the last three years.

Stability-wise, this is a strong product and it works better than other anti-virus solutions.

Prior to this solution, I had used different anti-virus products. One of them was a solution by Kaspersky, which I used for a long time. When I was using it, my PC was running very slow. Sometimes, I was not able to access legitimate websites because Kaspersky blocked them. I found that it blocked many websites that were legally valid, which was frustrating.

Because of these reasons, I switched products.

I used another product after Kaspersky for one year but it was not good either.

Installing this solution on the computer is easy to do.

While expensive, the service it provides is good, which is why we are using it.

Microsoft Defender is an expensive product in my country.

I would recommend my friends and colleagues use Microsoft Defender because it always protects us against ransomware and viruses. 

In summary, this is a great product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am using the solution for personal data protection.

The main features of this solution are that it handles everything by itself and is well integrated.

There could be an increase in security for the solution.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

The solution has been stable.

In my experience, the solution has been scalable.

There is no license needed, the solution comes with Microsoft Windows.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Defender Antivirus a nine out of ten.

Just as the name states, we use this solution to defend endpoints. 

We're actually in the process of moving away from this solution. We are beginning to use SentinelOne.

For me, It's just a standard malware and antivirus solution — nothing more, nothing less. 

I personally haven't experienced any pain points, but some of my coworkers feel that it isn't secure enough.

It would be nice if they could guarantee that we'll always be safe and secure with them. 

I have been using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for roughly four years. 

For me, this solution is both reliable and stable. 

I have never had to contact their technical support. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is quite good. We haven't really experienced any issues with it.

I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to other users. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. 

We use Microsoft Defender Antivirus as part of our security solution.

I have set Microsoft Windows Defender up to notify me when there is a problem. I open it up and then decide what to do. The interface has all of the important things that I want to be able to do.

It is easy to use and the only thing you need to do is make sure that you have internet, and keep your organization schema up to date. There is not much to do in terms of configuration.

The protection that it provides is quite good.

The user interface could use some improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Defender Antivirus since 2015.

I had been using AVG prior to Microsoft Defender.

There is no installation, as it comes pre-configured on the computer.

For most people, the price of the license is not something that they have to worry about.

This is a product that I have recommended to my friends and I will continue to do so.

Overall, this is a good product and I have never been disappointed with it. That said, there is always something that can be improved.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

I'm a consultant and I don't use these solutions. We sell them and we do research for sales purposes.

I don't use it explicitly. Rather, it's there on my laptop filtering viruses. It's there to protect my laptop.

I have had a few minor issues on my laptop but nothing really big.

I would like to see fewer pop messages and alerts. 

It's disturbing when you have that many alerts. 

Even though it shows you it's working, I don't really need to see it. If it was running in the background and never showing that would be perfect for me.

It's been a part of my laptop by default for two to three years.

I am probably not using the latest version. I don't follow the best practices in terms of updates. I may have an outdated product.

It's stable. There are no issues that I know of. 

My laptop has been working.

As it is for my personal use, this is an area that is not necessary for me to explore.

I am the only person using it.

I am a part of a tiny organization with a tiny team that is autonomous.

I have not contacted technical support.

I have used Symantec Endpoint Protection. It was the standard choice in my previous company.

From what I remember, the initial setup was transparent. I haven't had to deal with it.

I would say that the initial setup was straightforward.

It's included with the Windows Operating System, I don't pay for any licensing fees.

I would recommend using this solution. I haven't had any issues and it's been working fine for me.

I plan to continue using this product as long as it is not causing any problems.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The solution is basically an antivirus and is used to protect users from a number of things. Mainly, the solution protects against cyber-attacks and defends a user from viruses so that files are protected. Of course, it will be very important to have a big antivirus in place so that companies are protected from big attacks. Windows Defender does not really do that.

The solution's main antivirus capabilities are okay. So far, they have kept us safe.

There is cloud protection as well, however, we don't utilize that very much.

The solution does not have deep protection. Sometimes you find that you have some virus attacks. Most times we're on the internet. As you search so many websites, chances are high you visit sites that are fraudulent. There could be cases like phishing, where software could be embedded in some websites or some other viruses could come into your PC under Windows Defender. The security is basically limited. It's not so strong, in my understanding. It could be more robust.

The solution could use improvement on the interface. Most different Defender software comes with a different graphical user interface and some tend to be a bit complex. They should work to make the interface more user-friendly for basic users. For myself, as an IT person, it's fine, however, for a layperson, the interface might be a bit confusing.

It would be nice if they would collect user ratings and feedback. It would help them find ways to better add features and add-ons in the future.

The dashboards always have room for improvement.

We've been using the solution for over two years now. 

For the most part, free things are not as effective as licensing or something you purchase. That's why many times our clients ask for a licensed antivirus such as Kaspersky. Our clients do ask for licensed Kaspersky or BitDefender, or other antiviruses. Windows Defender, which is just a free version, is not as effective. It doesn't have deep support or deep protection.

We have ten people in our office and everyone is currently using the solution. That's just in our Ugandan office. We have head office in India, for example, and they may use it there as well.

I've never reached out to Microsoft's technical support. We haven't had issues that would require us to. I can't speak to their level of service.

We have clients that also ask to license Kaspersky or BitDefender for added protection.

The initial setup is not complex. We don't have a deployment or installation process, as the solution comes pre-installed with Windows. It's just the default software. It's part of their offering. We don't have to do anything separately.

There isn't really a licensing process. The solution was pre-installed by default. It simply comes with Microsoft Windows.

We are Microsoft resellers.

The solution is not on the cloud. Our office is small. We use independent computers. It's not in a structured network environment. We just use a small wireless network. As individuals, we are using it on small computers.

In my region, I would not necessarily recommend this solution. I'd still advise my clients to have other antiviruses unless I get to know that there is a licensed version of Windows Defender that Microsoft is selling and licensing. I still go ahead to advise my clients to buy other antiviruses, which are more effective. Kaspersky, for example, is a good option.

I would rate the solution at a six out of ten. There are other more robust antiviruses on the market that you can license.

We use this solution and we also implement it for customers. We mainly use it for its anti-malware and threat protection capabilities. If a client comes to us who uses Office 365, then we suggest this solution.

At the moment we have between 10 to 50 customers.

We definitely plan to keep using this solution. We're currently just pushing out all other solutions because they're not integrated and they have additional deployment costs. The only thing which is a bit peculiar is that you need to convince the customer that you're not talking about an antivirus solution. If we do, then they end up comparing things that are incomparable.

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

It's part of the Microsoft 365 suite, so it's integrated. We also use it for collaboration with other components within the suite. These two things are the most important for us at the moment.

Some integration components for Mac should be added. We use both Windows 10 desktops and Mac desktops, but presently, the Mac component is still lagging a bit behind. However, I think this is a temporary case.

I have been using Microsoft Defender for roughly one year.

On Mac, it's quite unstable and unusable; however, it's very stable for Windows. We're content with what it does and how it works.

It's on the cloud, so scalability is not an issue.

We've had no problems with customer support.

There's no installation to be done on the device itself, so it's quite easy. Configuration takes roughly two to three days.

Our company acts as both a consultant and integrator. 

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.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. Some integration components on Mac should be improved. It should be more stable on Mac. If they fixed this, I would give it a rating of ten.
