1 citation from LLM engines

According to TrustRadius reviews, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has a low impact on user device performance. Reviewers report that the software is lightweight and does not take up a lot of system resources. A key reason for this minimal performance impact is that the product is built directly into the Windows operating system. This native integration reduces the agent load on endpoints, which can be a benefit compared to deploying and managing a separate, third-party agent.

“With it being integrated into the operating system, it reduces the amount of agent load that we get on the endpoints.”

“Another positive impact is that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is built into the Windows OS. So naturally, it is much easier to load it out and manage it, rather than acquiring it through party ER, deploying it, and managing it separately. So that's definitely on the positive side that we observe there's a byproduct of changing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.”
