Great, simple and easy protection tool

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint from other similar products?

It's easy to use, simple, didactic and the hit base is amazing. Lately we don't use another solution to protect our websites that is as effective as it. And every day it's improving even more

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As already said, the ease of use is impressive. The configuration is also very easy and the integration with the system is an exceptional advantage. It is barely noticeable that the tool is working in real time

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing I don't like is that in real time the tool prevents the system from starting and shutting down faster. This could be improved in the future.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Microsoft Security is a welcome surprise. It has evolved a lot and is now one of the best tools in its category. It owes nothing to other consolidated tools on the market. Its use is really worth it.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

The most vulnerable antivirus on the market

Likeliness to Recommend

4 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint from other similar products?

The difference is that Microsoft Defender is an antivirus that instead of protecting the computers, what it does is slow down the system with its processes and make it more vulnerable, truly a product in my opinion, deficient

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

None, I do not like Windows Defender at all, it seems to me a poor product that does not fulfill the main function at all, which is to keep our computers protected and virus-free

What do you dislike most about this product?

Absolutely everything, outdated database, totally vulnerable, makes the system super slow and to top it all it blocks application installers that if they are safe, it really is a very bad antivirus solution, I would dare to say that the worst I have ever used in my life

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I do not recommend it to anyone, since it is the worst antivirus that exists in the market, definitely do not use it for the world.

Pros

  • Fair
  • Acts with Integrity
  • Transparent

Cons

  • Less Efficient Service
  • Less Performance Enhancing
  • Less Productive
