Microsoft
I think Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is well-suited, especially if you are an e5shop. And then, if you have other Microsoft ecosystems in your organization, for example, we do have Microsoft Defender for Office 365. We also have the Defender for the DIP and the point DIP, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Entra ID. When you have all these Microsoft ecosystems in your organization, the collaboration and the data enlistment, the capability, each other is tremendous. So I highly recommend. If you own the first type of the Microsoft ecosystem, definitely a perk to use the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and the financial EDR system.

Pros
Microsoft
  • It really protects our endpoints. We've used other antivirus programs in the past, and they haven't had that full confidence in those products compared to what Microsoft Defender for Endpoint does for us.
  • Another pro is that it's easy to manage the management console through Intune to see Microsoft Defender for Endpoint up in the cloud and see the state of our devices.
  • Another pro is we haven't had an incident since we installed it.

  • Stops ransomware attacks in a unique fashion before they can infect and spread in an environment.
  • Works flawlessly so far with our additional security tools and platforms.
  • Has a very small footprint as an application so does not interfere with day to day operations on our endpoints.

Cons
Microsoft
  • It would be good to continue to minimize the amount of resources needed during a scan
  • Provide more integration with Outlook to scan attachments with a notification that everything is good
  • Provide a Click to Fix option when listing issues or high-risk problems on systems

  • I would like to see the program run a bit faster, there are times when it takes a few minutes to detect and issue my current state.
  • We have co-workers who want to admire and try the program before taking the initiative to pay for its service, it is unfortunate that this program does not have a free version or a preview to each of its functions.

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

Usability
Microsoft
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a great EDR to have that works quickly and silently in the background and it integrates well with other Microsoft services. As an IT manager, I can appreciate that I do not get bombarded by alerts for every small detail. On the flipside, the management site can use some work in being more clear and should be more streamlined so I'm not clicking through multiple pages to figure out what happened

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.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offers strong integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure services, which provide a unified security experience. While McAfee Trellix is known for solid antivirus, Microsoft Defender excels in integration in the ecosystem.

Morphisec won out in our search for strong protection against ransomware and zero-day attacks by offering a unique approach to preventing them, to begin with. There were some additional offerings that did some things very well themselves, but in the end, it came down to a few things Morphisec seemed to be the best in our research at least. Those things included how it specifically protected against ransomware and zero-day attacks, the small footprint it needs to run, and it's ability to just slot into our environment and allow us the flexibility to continue using our current XDR and NextGenAV platforms as well.
