Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a key software that protects workstations (mostly laptops) against information threats and malware. We've switched to it from another well-known solution as a part of organizational changes and related software migrations. It does not visually reduce the performance of devices and correctly triggers on suspicious processes and files in a timely manner. I can say that we are currently satisfied with the price to quality ratio.
- Keeps your device safe
- Protects from threats and malware
- Integrated with other Microsoft solutions
- Worth the money
- Microsoft could work better with rumors that the software is missing some of the threats in comparison to similar products.
- UX/UI could be improved
- Effectively protects small and medium-sized businesses with a reasonable level of protection
- Employees are not distracted by non-core tasks like device protection and can concentrate on company business
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
We've chosen Microsoft Defender for Endpoints based on limited investments and budget at the time when we had to make a decision. It proved that it was a good choice.
We use such software components like:
- unified security tools and centralized management;
- next-generation antimalware;
- attack surface reduction rules;
- device control (such as USB);
- endpoint firewall;
- network protection;
- device-based conditional access.
In current case we follow go and use format with limited time on software management.

We have about 100 devices in total, only Windows servers and workstations.
We have used McAfee/Trellix solution before Microsoft Defender for Endpoints with similar experience. There were organization reasons to switch from Trellix to another solution, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoints was a good choice in our case.
