User Testimonials
	Dell Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise (discontinued)	Microsoft Defender for Business
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft Microsoft Defender for Business is well suited for small and medium businesses that are running on a smaller budget, with little to no IT department and require a quick and effective setup to manage and protect their endpoints. It can be deployed and managed very quickly, and the person doing it can have little to no experience as long as they follow directions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft Already integrated with Windows Allows for folder and executable-specific exceptions when combined with Intune. Incident response and analytics are fantastic. Incentivized MM Michael Miller IT Engineer Read full review
Cons	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft Confusion between the different Defender products Ease of setup and configuration Reporting and Alerts Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft So far we have found no alternative that would overall offer us more than we are getting from Microsoft Defender for Business! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft Microsoft Defender for Business is a solid tool for smaller businesses looking to manage their endpoints and devices, while staying on budget. The setup is minimal compared to the full-blown InTune and EMS suite, and the product can be included in some Small Business SKUs that they may already have. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft Microsoft Defender for Business has better reporting and incident response. There is limited client rollout due to being integrated with Windows. Microsoft Defender for Business is much better at identifying asset risks and giving a broad security overview. Because we moved to Microsoft 365 to access the Office applications and Exchange online, Microsoft Defender for Business was essentially cost free to us. Where Microsoft Defender for Business falls short in comparison to Sophos is that it requires integration with Intune to enforce many of the physical controls that Sophos offers in their client.
