Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
We are using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint as our second layer of protection for our critical devices. We implemented this as additional security protection against ransomware attacks in case our primary protection fails to catch the ransomware.
- Easy deployment for windows devices
- It does a great job of updating the threat protection database to keep up with those zero-day vulnerabilities
- Works great with Windows OS system without causing resource conflicts or system performance degradation
- Hard to integrate with third party SIEM solution
- Not available for OS other than Windows
- It is a little hard to do threat analysis or investigation when you try to correlate the detection with other security control systems like firewalls, web proxies, etc.
- Provided additional security assurance to protect our endpoint device from ransomware attacks
- It requires very little additional IT resource to deploy or manage the solution since we have IT resources familiar with Microsoft solution already
- Integration with third party security solution is not easy to do
- Scalability
- Ease of Use
Ease of use was the main factor that influenced our purchase decision.
We use malware/threat detection and protection for blocking advanced threat attacks. We also use vulnerability and misconfiguration discovery features to help identify some obvious security gaps in some endpoint devices.
About 2000 Windows devices. We use something else for MAC and Linux.
I would say Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a little behind compared to those two market leaders in the space. However, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to deploy and manage for windows devices and the cost is more reasonable.
