Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Well, we use it to harden and reduce risks currently on all workstations. We're leveraging Intune or Microsoft Management, whatever they call it now. But we leverage the two of those together and we create lists and we use the dashboards to address vulnerabilities using the rankings and we go in there and we clean it up and patch field services to make sure everything gets done, write scripts and have fun.
- The best thing is the centralized reporting. So we've used other products, but this has the best one. We can easily develop a punch list and items to tackle sort things out and prioritize.
- Faster updates would be nice after we make some of the changes, it takes a while, 2, 3, 4 days to see if they've actually taken the other thing that's in deficit is still need some improvement, get a few false positives.
- Well, unfortunately it works so well. I might be getting a promotion and getting more responsibility, but I hope not.
- Other
Good reputation and functionality? I wouldn't have bought it five years ago, but it's been improved a lot. I want to make sure if it's got a high detection rate, it is easy enough to manage as distributor so we can distribute it out to distributed management. Well-based source, it does all those.
Anti-malware, Asset Management. We're doing some stuff with tagging. I had to think about the different pieces in it. I know at least those three functions. I'm sure there's others.
It's all Windows Desktop and a couple servers, but total is right at 200.
It has more functionality overall and then again, reporting is much better. The ability to prioritize and define our own criticalities, so I think that's a lot better.
