Usually, Microsoft Defender inside my Windows Operating system is an outstanding fundamental software for increasing protection on my home computer; however, it is unique for online usage since the benefits it provides are considerably greater than simply experiencing my laptop protected online.

What differentiates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint from other similar products?

What I found striking with Windows Defender was the fact that it did not consume a lot of compute resources (while being run in the background) on your computer compared to other antivirus solutions.

I love the automatic update features, which does not require constant manual interventions for this step. The browser integration is very useful, for it has the intelligence of blocking malicious softwares which have been downloaded.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's ransomware solutions is only a preventive one (preventing your files from being encrypted right from the start), and does not have the power or threat intelligence to act in real-time against these types of attack in my opinion. Furthermore, if you are currently using another antivirus solutions, Microsoft Defender can't be run simultaneously.

While Microsoft Defender is not the cutting edge in terms of antivirus protection, I have found it very useful, having used it for the past 5 years, especially if you have devices that cannot handle too intensive antivirus programs. It protect fairly well against viruses and malwares. I do recommend activating, updating and using it.
