    I don't have a single most valuable feature. Every feature is really working for me. One of the reasons I bought it was for the USB block, but that's not as much a use case anymore since I have a lot of people working remotely. It's the DLP part that is more important to me right now, to pinpoint the data that's getting moved. The granularity enables me to not only see a file, but to read inside the file and pull out the data inside it. The granularity is really pretty good on that. It's very important. Let's say somebody just exported a file or emailed a file or uploaded a file on the internet. Seeing the inside of the file is really important to me. Whether it's encrypted or not, I still can see inside the file. I'm the only admin on it, but the role-based access is fine. I have one user that I give access to so he can just see device control and that's it. That's all I need him to see. I was able to do that, so I'm pretty happy with the role-based access. I use the solution's clipboard granularity feature to monitor copying and pasting to specific exit points, and it works great. People are trying to get the data any way they can, from the clipboard and things like that. I'm able to see it, report on it, and block it.

    If you have multiple endpoints in your environment, if you're looking to understand what your environment looks like, if you're trying to identify the health of your environment, or identify any risks or vulnerabilities in your environment pertaining to your endpoints and devices.

    • The big thing for us is on endpoint, it kind of integrates with everything else that we already have because we use Microsoft completely. And so that helps us with being able to integrate, and send things over to Azure Sentinel as we need to as well.

    Cons
    CoSoSys
    • Source code detection is their selling point, they should fix all the problems
    • Copy/Paste, when you copy paste text, the control applies over the paste, this is correct, but when you copy files, the control is on the copy, not in the paste, so Incan not move protected content not even in a sub folder
    • Device protection shouldn’t be the main module, there are other software that handle devices, you should focus on DLP

    • I'd say building out summaries and log reviews for analysts reviewing incidents. So, pivoting from the alerts themselves to actually getting the detail underneath. Trying to understand what caused an alert, where they went from there, et cetera, et cetera. And then trying to get into deeper log review to take that investigation further can be a pain point.

    Cost add-ons for Security features is nickel and diming the process to keep pace with cybercrime. Limited Education budgets require us to be more pro-active in finding cost-effective measures to protect our devices, staff and students. Defender is a strong, well-featured product that is pricing itself out of the education market

    Because it's hard to find things sometimes. I can find things now because I know where they are. But you have to work with it a little while to figure out how. I'd basically say it was a security tool designed by developers. So you have to get that mindset to find things. So a new hire, a new person in the SOC would have a difficult time. I know that's sitting in here, or that screen is in here somewhere. So it's gotten better.

    Microsoft Defender for Endpoint chugs along just fine no matter what we throw at it and what systems it's running on. It doesn't take up a lot of resources either, so that's welcomed.

    The first time I tried to onboard my macOS endpoints to MDE I struggled for quite a bit. I had to reach out to Microsoft's MDE support team. The tech was very helpful in walking me through the steps during a screen share session

    Deployment was handled by our team here and everything went pretty smoothly. We did have a few hiccups in our test group, but that only took a bit to get ironed out.

    Particularly, we're evaluating Symantec Endpoint Protection, the commercial version. We've looked at eSet, a couple of the others, and it's much too heavy or difficult to manage, things like that. Ease of use, ease of integration. It's already there. It's super easy to update it with the regular OS updates and everything. So we can manage it whether we're using SCCM or Intune or Dato, it's very easy to deploy updates and manage things.

    Return on Investment
    CoSoSys
    • We've already seen some great return on investments. Endpoint Protector has caught, in it's short time being deployed, a data loss incident we would not have caught otherwise.
    • Endpoint Protector has given the team leads comfort that the data loss events is being monitored and acted upon.
    • Endpoint Protector has fulfilled a business objective of protecting intellectual property from leaving the organization through an unauthorized channel.

    • I think the positive impact overall is that we do a lot of sitting in front of assessors- federal assessors, government assessors. And it really comes down to when the assessor has to think about another product that you're bringing in that's not Microsoft, it creates a lot of confusion, more paperwork, more explanation. But the positive impact is that they know it, everybody kind of knows Microsoft. And so when you tell them you have this endpoint for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, they're like, okay. The questions go away, and it makes the overhead a lot less during an assessment.
