Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a comprehensive endpoint security solution. We use it for protection against exposure because it is our antivirus platform. As our post breach and vulnerability detector it provides us with a hawk eye view of our endpoints of our networks. It's integration with AI makes it even a more enhanced tool for detecting threats in advance. It then recommends and takes rectification actions to prevent the happening of the probable attacks. It is a quite simplistic tool that provides visuals and insights to represent the attacks and loopholes from where they came from. This detailed information helps further investigate incidents and alerts before they occur, preventing any extreme damage on our network endpoints.

It's ease of implementation especially in the initial setting up process and the awesome customer support we got from the technical team really made it stand out from others.
We utilize everything relates endpoint and network issues. The AI integration is actually my favorite component because it comes in handy in vulnerability scanning through scanning our networks and alert us Incase of any exposure. Remediation and blocking of advanced threats are also a plus.
We have currently installed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on 1573 endpoint devices on our main network. This includes Windows and Apple desktops, laptops, and servers. We also do scan our routers and switches and have rolled out installation on some of our mobile devices. The goal is to secure each and every device with this top-notch solution.
Tenable Security Center was a fantastic exposure detection tool but there was always a lag and servers would hang alot when being scanned causing resource traffic. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on the other hand does not use up most resources soo there is usually noo lag during scanning and it also provide more detailed insights on the network. Also Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration power has helped us up our security game by delivering a smooth secure network.
