Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

We want to defend against anomalies and hacking detection or hacking and attacks from outside.

Pros

  • Defending us from anomalies and also give us an overview about the current situation.

Cons

  • I can see that's nearly a close box. So if you're working with, for instance, security incidents, you can only create them from based on the found issues, but if you have security incidents coming from other sites, you can't use it. The security incidents functionality inside and we see, I would say a lot of false positives.
  • The only negative impact may be the dependency of it's Saas service, which is if it's not available globally, then this had a general impact on the whole company. But yeah, I think the risk is limited currently.
  • Other
It was the fact that we don't need to install anything because it's already part of the software architecture.
We are using Windows, Windows Server. And it's around 4,000 endpoints.
4000
I would say at the end all they are doing the same, but with the benefit that we don't need to install anything. So it's just kind of enabling and then the functionality is available, so other products need to be installed, which is not necessary with the defend

Do you think Microsoft Defender for Endpoint delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Defender for Endpoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Defender for Endpoint again?

Yes

I would say where is not fitting is in all areas of operational technologies where we are not able to install agents. So agentless is limited, I would say, and I would recommend it in all scenarios because it's already, developed into the main project, which is usually Microsoft Windows. So compared to other Windows, there's no need to install drivers or something like that to make security products up and running, which is always a risk to open an operating system to put in drivers. So I would always recommend it.
