Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

First thing I use in this product for no more than the employee devices, right? One of the key features that the for Endpoint is giving us is the vulnerabilities for those devices and also no more what are the vulnerabilities score that we have in the company. It's helping us to address those vulnerabilities, giving us all the recommendations and really like how this has been working for us to know more how we expose it to our devices to specific attacks.

Pros

  • I think the detection part is one of the things that the Defender for Endpoint does very well, it's very faster. I really like it how you can do the detection and response and the remediations that they have depending on the license of course. But yeah, I think those areas are most of the best for the technical response is very good on that.

Cons

  • I think one of the cons that I don't like about this is for example when you integrate with Defender antivirus, so how quickly this actual product does like you depending for another products like Microsoft intern for Deploy the policy and then waiting for the device can be synchronizing. I think that is something that I see more room for improvement that even the customer that have been working with, they are facing some kind of issues like I adding this policy but I need to wait 5 minutes, 10 minutes because this is security needs to be out faster. I think those are the things that I can talk about the account on that piece.
  • I think the positive is the investment, right? So even if you have your license because you're using a licensing environment and just to have it there, my speech is always regarding using what you have and if you have a good tool that has been categorizing as one of the best tools, so why don't use it, right? So my thing, I think the positive thing is use it working because it's integrated, it's native for the consoles and other products and I think that will be the best impact that I will be provided to customer.
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Other
I think the in for my decision is regarding all the news that I have seen, all the updates that Microsoft has been providing to the tools and all the particular improvement that every day is facing the products So I know at the beginning wasn't good, now is one of the best tools that we can use for cybersecurity and even someone response. So I think that is giving my trust to Microsoft to say I need this product.
Ultimate remediation and response. I think it's more easy for us when we detect an alert and we decide to defend, do the investigation, even close the alerts and the tickets without us to be in front of the computer. I think those are things most valuable for me, like having more time to do other stuff and giving Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, do what they need to do for us.
In my company, yes. Currently we have 200, but I have been working with companies that they have more than 3000 devices working with Different For. We use all platforms.
I have been working with customers that they are transitioning from Sentinel One, CrowdStrike to Defender for Endpoint, right? So I think it's because they see the value in the product and also they see how much they can save in terms of the cost for companies because they already have it integrated. So I think that it is one of the best way to use the product. So having this, I think gains a lot of effort.
