Ivanti Security Controls vs. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Agentless patching is the best of all the products I've used. The real-time updates that don't require re-scanning after each step is great.

Usually we had lots two platforms tasked with scanning exposures, anti-malware and provision for information and threat management. But with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint we have an all inclusive platform that even integrate with other Microsoft security apps such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud for enhanced threat insights and visibility.

• Trusted ownership checking is a good way to implement effective basic protection.
• Patching is important today to react quickly to security problems. With Security Controls, it's easier than ever before.
• One console for whole security.

• It provides a unified security experience when combined with other Microsoft products such as Microsoft Defender for 365 and Azure Defender.
• It has an excellent dashboard and centralized view that make it easy to see and control everything from one location.
• It's an EDR tool designed to help you understand incidents and alerts better.
• Real-time detection of attacks and prompt endpoint device responses. It effortlessly interacts with additional Microsoft security products.

• Performance of the console when using agentless machines.
• The console layout is a bit cumbersome - would be better if all functions were accessible from one screen.
• Common deployment examples to assist with deployment types.

• Does not allow for remediation from the management console.
• The ticket system doesn't alert the person assigned to the ticket.
• You have to submit requests for whitelisting applications.
• Scanning exclusions are tricky to find.
• Adding devices, especially Apple devices, is very cumbersome.

Support wasn't used as the cost didn't justify the expense. We have yet to use the support.

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

Since we have been using Application Control for about 15 years, it is, of course, the best solution for us. We also looked at other products (RES One Workspace), but they didn't convince us. Some features of RES were good and are now part of the User Workspace Manager. The Microsoft solution seems too complicated to us and does not have the advantages of Trusted Ownership Checking.

in an overall protection sentinelone is providing better protection for us, but as it comes with subscription's limitation, we have to be really careful in managing the licenses, the MS Defender for endpoint is providing us a decent protection which we are not complaining about, why we chose them ? as mentioned, this is coming with our subscription

• By providing robust threat protection, Defender for Endpoint can prevent downtime caused by security issues. Employees can work without interruptions, leading to increased productivity.
• By significantly decreasing the frequency of security incidents like malware infections and data breaches, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can protect your network. The cost of incident response, cleanup, and potential regulatory fines are reduced as a result of the decrease in events.
• The implementation and configuration of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint may require an initial investment in licensing, training, and deployment, which can temporarily affect ROI.
• The cost of licensing can be substantial, especially for larger organizations. This cost needs to be factored into the ROI calculation.
