Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 Defender

Every computer in our company comes with Microsoft 365, including defender. It’s automatically installed so that we have a good, basic protection against viruses and other security risks. Important is that it is uncomplicated and not asking the user for too much because, besides software engineers, who also have people who are not specialized in computers and are easily overwhelmed by unknown software tasks.

Pros

  • Automatic installation
  • Working in the background
  • Basic protection
  • Easy to understand

Cons

  • Takes sometimes much resources
  • Missing features like browser security
  • Easy installation and handling leads to less IT people who need to help out - that’s a good saving
I was not involved so I cannot answer this.
Easy maintenance of this software allows us to concentrate on other problems
Yes. We experienced some false alarms but these are easily filtered. It helps us to see if a bigger issue is currently ongoing and to fastly react on it. It’s easy to understand and work with.
Microsoft 365 defender is less noticeable, easy to manage and maintain and has a uncomplicated installation process.

I think Microsoft 365 Defense offers a good protection against basic security risks and is easy to understand, even for users who are no computer specialists. That’s why I also like that it is focused on virus protection and doesn’t have too much extra features. But I think it would be good when a few extra features would be added, like browser protection. Only really disadvantage in my opinion is that it sometimes takes a lot of resources.
