Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 Defender

We use Microsoft 365 Defender for mobile devices, like laptops and Home-Office users.
It's using a centralized configuration and management platform, so we can protect all devices.

We can manage BOD from our coworkers, that no infected or unprotected devices can connect to our network.
  • centralized management
  • reporting
  • fast adjustment
  • policy management
  • not the best antivirus
  • fast implementation
  • low cost, no big investment
  • flexible licensing
If using all security protections by one software developer, it is maybe a security gap. But in addition to other developers I think it's a good completion.
Not all trust in Microsoft, because of that the main goal is on operating system. There is a fundamental scepticism against Microsoft.
The implementation and policy management is much easier then by other companies.
We only use automatic notifications but no isolation of the agents. This works very good for us, because we don't have daily impacts. If you use a bigger envirement this would be much better to use rules for automated responses.
Actualy not, because we don't have many affected clients. If we have more, then we would use them.
Trend Micro Vision One is much more expensive and there is so much more to configure. For our use case it was to big.
