Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's just endpoint protection, data protection, malware protection, this type of stuff. It's just in general endpoint protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Payload detection
C2 traffic detection
And the best thing about Defender is the signature that's frequently uploaded.

Cons

Probably in granularity when you're trying to make granular policies so the policies can have some kind of improvement the way it's deployed. That is in general what I can see as improvement point.
False positives

Return on Investment

Negative, probably resource usage of your workstations, memory usage. That's what I can think of.

Key Differentiators

Integration with Other Systems

Vendor lock key.

Protection Scope

Windows, Windows server. We're protecting tens of thousands, close to a hundred thousand.

We use Defender in the cloud. We are currently using Defender in the cloud and also evaluating the XDR solution for programmatic. It's just arguments, the defense in depth. You have Defender Endpoint and then you have what you have in the cloud as well, so it's just augmenting each other.
