  • Ease of Use
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is extremely easy to use with simple yet effective UI and UX. One of the easiest software to implement with windows.
We do use features like Endpoint Activity, Anomaly Detection and File Sensitivity, Active Background Scanning and Threat Management, etc. These help in keeping our organization and data secure and protected.
Around 15 devices and all are on windows.
Norton is much much more expensive and difficult to use. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to use and can be operated by a new joiner as well.
