Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
We currently use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on all our endpoints, sometimes in conjunction with other AV. Being that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is already built into our windows agents, it makes sense to use since A) it's already installed and B) most of the time the client is already paying for it via other M365 liscensing. Also utilizing it with Huntress EDR offering.
- Accurate, not alot of false positives
- Easy to maintain after initial setup
- Onboarding can be tricky if you don't have the right tools or a large deployment
- Much like other MS products, logs and settings are buried all over the UI
- We don't pay for another AV tool
- Scalability
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
Mainly Huntress and their endorsement. In my opinion, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint used to have a bad reputation but now they are on the top of the heap
AV and EDR, logging
~1200
Not a fair comparison as, I believe, Webroot has severely declined over the past few years while Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has risen from the bottom
