Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Review
- There's a lot of concepts that are trying to achieve in my environment where basically they have, they're testing a bunch of products, but this one I guess it's going to stay.
May 20, 2024
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Review
- I would say the ease of use and integration across the broader M365 Suite has led to some other business decisions to move from third party tools onto more of a M365 stack. So not necessarily that was the gateway entry point into the broader solution, but it was one of many where the presence within IBM has grown across the entire portfolio of M365 as a result of the successes with Defender as well as other solutions as well.

Defender Review
- All positive, keeping us secure.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Review.
- It's awareness because while the vendor for endpoints cannot stop specific threats, you have the visibility that something else is going on, and that's much better than not having anything. So I mean, in the end, protection-wise, it has its areas of opportunity, but it's the awareness to say, company X customer, you need to do this, though the response is very manual.

May 17, 2024
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Review
- It has made me feel more comfortable on a day-to-day basis that our institution is secure, especially having gone through a ransomware in 2019. If we had something like this in place in 2019, we would've stopped the situation before we ended up calling the cyber liability insurance carrier.

The one stop security shop for the endpoints
- Only negative ROI is the costly licenses that can set you back a significant amount in your annual budget especially if you have a 300+ audience group.
- With automated remediation we have seen a tremendous decrease in triage time and even were able to deflect potential attacks in the early stages.
- With device groups, we have been able to customize EDR policies for different user types and hence were able to be compliant more effectively (in a user-friendly way).
- We have been able to manage content filtering very effectively with Endpoint DLP and has proven to be a big positive ROI for us.
