Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Defender for Endpoint is used as the mainline endpoint security product for a number of our MSP clients. Implementing a product that was integrated with the core O365 product suite used by so many of our clients was a no brainer. It also served as a key trigger to get clients to upgrade to Business Premium licensing, unlocked a range of other security benefits.
  • Front line next gen AV
  • Integrated well into other MS security products
  • It's simple to use and configure
  • Better support for servers
  • Driving force behind uplifting client to Business Premium or additional licensing
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
Cusotmers are already on Office 365 and are bombarded with Microsoft marketing, so it is an easy sell to use the integrated toolset.
We are utilising a mix of P1 and P2 versions of Defender for Endpoint. The P2 version includes Endpoint Detection and Response as an extension, as well as automatic investigation adn remediation, making it a full competitor to other XDR tools on the market.
over 2000, all Microsoft operating systems
The fact it is integrated into the Microsoft 365 licensing our customers already purchase makes it an easy choice.

in a client that uses a Microsoft stack it is a no brainer to use the integrated toolset that Defender offers. However if a client uses a large range of Operating Systems including MacOS and Linux, then an alternate product that offers better support for those platforms might be considered.
