Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Business

We use Microsoft Defender for Business as an added layer of endpoint protection on certain devices. It integrates with our Office 365 to help protect against phishing and better secure our Microsoft apps. Defender for Business helps address problems related to Cybersecurity related to malware, ransomware, phishing, etc. Having installed on laptops, it secures endpoints in and out of the office regardless of the employee's location. We are a small/medium entity between 100 - 200 employees with a mix of on-prem and cloud security needs. We are satisfied users and recommend Microsoft Defender for Business.

Pros

  • Advanced Threat protection
  • Integration with Microsoft 365
  • Endpoint Protection

Cons

  • Confusion between the different Defender products
  • Ease of setup and configuration
  • Reporting and Alerts
  • Improved cybersecurity
  • Learning curve
  • Resource consumption
Microsoft Defender for Business is user friendly but requires some IT knowledge to adapt to its full potential. Microsoft 365 business will likely be more adaptable and have less of a learning curve than new users when configuring settings or security policies. Overall, I would say that strengths outweigh weaknesses and the unknowns can be learned.
