Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (formerly Microsoft Defender ATP)
My company utilizes Defender for Endpoint across all end point devices, including Windows and Linux servers. For me, Defender's capabilities are above any other AV tool I previously used. Some of the main benefits for us are:
- Cloud Console
- Cloud based updates
- Live protection
- AV/Malware protection
- Vulnerability Management
- End Point Detection and Response (EDR)
- Onboarding devices
- Device configuration can be challenging
- In order to use this product to its full capabilities, Intune will be required
- EDR
- Vulnerability Management
- AV/Malware protection
- Savings over previous vendor
- ease of administration
- increased SOC SLA
Defender works better for my org. This may depend on your ecosystem, however for me, Defender is a clear winner. I like Defender's ability to utilize multiple sensors and data points to detect possible breaches. I like the built-in EDR functionality. I do not need to purchase a separate EDR software anymore. I really like the vulnerability management. it has enabled our SOC team to view multiple security-related sensors from a single portal.
