• Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection offers exceptional threat protections for signature-based "known" threats.
• The signatures are constantly updated and management of this application is super easy with the use of Microsoft SCCM.
• The application is very much a "set it and let it" type of deployment. Once you install it, there are very little configuration or changes that need to be made.

• Alerts - these are handy for sure, but some alerts, when turned on, can flood your Inbox. I'd like to see a more granular approach that sets limits on how many times an alert will be delivered.
• Fingerprint access on the mobile app would be awesome.
• Aside from that, some of the menu paths are not straightforward. Like the install client creation can only be done from the dashboard (to my knowledge) when it should be done from the policy and/or device pages. Make the interface a little more intuitive.

• The product could improve in the area of having better mechanisms in place with how the SCEP client is deployed/installed from the server on the management side. We have run into this firsthand with the client not installing on an endpoint, and then having to take the time to investigate why it was not installing.
• A second improvement that can be made is to keep trying to improve the products detection rate for finding malware/viruses. The case can be made that there are some products out there that do a better job at this and have a higher detection rate.

• There was little/no cost associated with this software since we are utilizing SCCM and are paying license costs for that anyways.
• The level or protection is excellent for the cost of the software.
• There was at least one instance in which Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection identified a crypto-malware, but not before it had already started to encrypt many of our files. So it did detect the threat, but since it was a little delayed we still were infected.
