User Testimonials
	Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management	Microsoft Defender for Business
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Microsoft Defender for Business is well suited for any size organization using the Microsoft 365 Suite. As an included feature in the mid and upper tiers of the 365 suites, it can quickly address antivirus protection for any sized company. It's compliance and security dashboards can help guide sole proprietorship owners in better understanding their security standing. The software also scales to give mid-sized and enterprise originations the in-depth information needed for compliance. Incentivized MM Michael Miller IT Engineer Read full review

Cons	No answers on this topic	Finding blocked programs in the UI is not intuitive if the alert message is dismissed. The admin portal changes often with features coming and going. Admin portal interface is cluttered and sometimes not intuitive. Incentivized MM Michael Miller IT Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	Microsoft Defender for Business is user friendly but requires some IT knowledge to adapt to its full potential. Microsoft 365 business will likely be more adaptable and have less of a learning curve than new users when configuring settings or security policies. Overall, I would say that strengths outweigh weaknesses and the unknowns can be learned Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Microsoft Defender for Business, I believe, is a "light" version of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. While they both have some of the same features, Microsoft Defender for Business has far less, and the more complex you want to get with your configurations, you may need to dip your toe into the InTune Admin Center to deploy certain policies.
