Overall I like the product as it comes in a package with other Microsoft tools. Also it provides a great deal of protection against malwares and viruses. It can do scheduled scan from time to time once specified. It does not cost you anything except for the deployment which is very impressive.

Pros

It is free and easy to setup. It is great for detecting threats across the networks, detecting spam and other major malicious activities. The reports generated are very detailed and lets you analyze the threat level making it very useful for protection.

Cons

This rate of detection of this toll is less when compared to other competitors. Deployment is expensive and we face issues sometimes while deploying. The notification pop-ups are too many and it gives discomfort to the users.

It doesn't solve any problems, it just causes more. The only reason I have it is because it comes pre-installed

Pros

The only thing I like about Defender is that it is very simple to disable. It only represents an obstacle to install programs.

Cons

Its virus scans are the worst, it consumes a lot of RAM and gives very low results

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a comprehensive suite of security solutions that protect your organization's Office 365 environment from a variety of threats. It includes features for email protection, web protection, data protection, and device protection.I have been using Microsoft Defender for Office 365 for several years and have been very impressed with its performance. It has successfully blocked a number of phishing emails and malware attacks. I also like the fact that it is easy to use and can be configured to meet the specific needs of my organization.Overall, I would highly recommend Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to any organization that is looking for a comprehensive solution to protect its Office 365 environment.

Pros

The features that I like most about Microsoft Defender for Office 365 are its email protection, web protection, and data protection features. The email protection feature blocks phishing emails and other malicious emails from reaching your inbox. The web protection feature protects you from malicious websites and downloads. The data protection feature protects your sensitive data from being leaked or stolen.

Cons

The only downside to Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is that it can be a bit expensive. However, I believe that the cost is justified by the level of protection that it provides.

The arrangement is great, however not awesome, nothing is. They have done a generally excellent work, they simply have a little approaches. The manner in which their documentation is developed, drawing an obvious conclusion comprehensively, is something individuals discover hard and that is the explanation they call individuals like me since I realize how to come to an obvious conclusion. I rate Microsoft Defender for Office 365 the vast majority of.

Pros

There should be an improvement in incorporating the item to work across various working frameworks, and to have better help for non-Microsoft document types. A portion of the significant highlights on the email side are against phishing, hostile to malware, and Safe Links. The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient.

Cons

There should be an improvement in coordinating the item to work across numerous working frameworks, and to have better help for non-Microsoft record types. We need a different permit, and we don't have a clue how to get the permit that is required.

False alarm on some mails sent probably in relation to the system settings, the integration is so easy even a novice can do thanks to its more detailed documentation.

By and large, we are happy with the item.
Rather than involving three or four devices for security, we can utilize one. With one item, Defender, we have every one of the elements we really want. We can utilize Defender to obstruct and screen for security purposes without requiring various different items to do various errands.
It's very easy to understand.

Pros

We can utilize Defender to obstruct and screen for security purposes without requiring numerous different items to do various assignments. The item is extremely simple to utilize. The item I have tracked down the capacity to erase undesirable dangers beneficial.is exceptionally simple to utilize.

Cons

The cost could be better. It'll likewise help assuming that they can consistently refresh and update the arrangement. Consistently there's another infection transferred into the organization, and we need to continue to refresh it to distinguish this large number of things. I for one have not seen a lot of proof of how Defender can upgrade the tale of no trust for ventures. The information recuperation and reinforcement could be improved.

Microsoft Defender Review

As an individual who works from my home office, it is extremely important that my computer is running properly, so it is imperative that I have trusted security software to help me achieve that outcome. I must say, Microsoft Defender has been and is continuously essential in me doing that. Microsoft Defender has been compatible with the client systems that I have to access in order to perform my day to day business. My computer has been protected safe and protected from malware and spyware that has tried to attack my computer on several occasions! So, I can't say enough about this product, as it is one of the best on the market!

Pros

What I really like about this product the most is that it comes pre-installed on your Windows operating computer. I didn't have to sign up for a free trial with another security software application in order to protect my computer and then turn around and pay for a monthly subscription thereafter, upon the expiration of a free trial! Microsoft in general takes the time to considerate their customer's experience and they continued the trend with Microsoft Defender.

Cons

If I had to nitpick and find one thing about the software that I don't particularly like about Microsoft Defender, it would be the fact that its not compatible with some of the other computer security software applications around. You can't operate both on your computer at the same time. However, you really don't need any other protection when using Defender.
