Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

It's our primary EDR on client and servers.

Pros

  • It's particularly good to log and integrate with the Microsoft Security stack and to protect and have details on what happening on devices.

Cons

  • difficult to use Live Response
  • quite difficult to install it on legacy operating system.
  • As a partner and as a reseller, we recommend it to every customer. The problem of the challenge here is that other EDRs are sold as a lower price and not every customer understands the value of having this type of application and this type of features on their environment.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Other
The main thing is to have the defender stack, uniformed over devices and servers, and that's why we migrated from CrowdStrike to Defender for Endpoint.
We use the full stack
We are protecting 250 Windows clients and 150 windows and Linux Servers
We previously used CrowdStrike on our servers. However, the seamless integration of Microsoft Defender (MD) with XDR and the entire Microsoft ecosystem led us to choose Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE).
