It's a sensible choice for our enterprise's EDR since we are Microsoft-based, and our Microsoft 365 Business Premium licensing comes with Defender built-in. This means that there's no cost delta on top of the services we're already using with Microsoft. We choose to keep using Microsoft Defender for Business because it delivers results: it has successfully blocked multiple instances of malware and network compromises. The alerts are excellent, and the interface is intuitive. Once an alert emerges, we get an email notification that takes us to a thorough but easy-to-parse analysis of what happened. The map and log of commands run effectively builds the event timeline for us, which allows us to jump right onto remediation procedures. The endpoint isolation feature and live response console are MASSIVE benefits to our security practices: we can take a device-under-attack out of the network in seconds but retain the ability to conduct investigation and remediation through the live console securely. Device enrollment can be handled natively through Intune, by script deployment, or by using the "deployment tool" with a secure key. > > **Cons**: Our only "complaint" with Microsoft Defender for Business is how the alerts about email reports are delivered in tandem with far more concerning EDR-based alerts. Since email reports are far and away the \#1 cause for alerts, this can cause alert overload. But we found that it's easy enough to set up a notification rule that filters out email reports so that our eyes are on EDR risks when they emerge. > > We've found Microsoft Defender for Business to be a thorough and effective EDR solution that gives us results without any extra cost to our existing Microsoft stack. It is lean on our endpoints, ensuring user productivity isn't affected by the deployed security software. The alerts are timely and the automatic and live-console investigations in tandem with the ability to isolate endpoints from the network makes handling active incidents easy. ----- ### "Good Protection, but the Interface Needs Work" — 3.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *20 July 2026* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Microsoft Defender for Business was that it integrates well with the Microsoft ecosystem and provides solid protection against common viruses and malware. Having security management built into Microsoft 365 makes it convenient, and the alerts help identify potential threats before they become bigger problems. Once everything is set up, it offers a good level of protection without requiring a separate antivirus solution. > > **Cons**: What I liked least was that the interface can be confusing, especially when trying to manage devices or investigate security alerts. Some settings are buried in different Microsoft admin portals, which makes navigation more complicated than it needs to be. It does a good job with basic protection, but there are times when the alerts can be overwhelming or don't provide enough context to quickly understand what needs attention. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft Defender for Business has been average. It provides solid protection against everyday threats and integrates well with Microsoft 365, which is convenient if you're already using Microsoft's ecosystem. However, the interface isn't the most user-friendly, and managing devices or responding to alerts can take more time than expected. It's a capable security solution, but I think it could be easier to use and manage. ----- ### "Defender for Business defends its title as our best security software." — 4.0/5 > **Cam** | *15 December 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s easy to integrate, it works in symphony with M365 and it works just as well, and in many ways better than Crowdstrike and the like. It has a ton of nice features regarding content filtering, and attack defense, and surface prevention. > > **Cons**: Of all of the great features, it’s not super user friendly to navigate the interface to toggle all of these settings. It would be nice to train my IT assistants, but we spent a good bit on just the overly difficult UI. > > It’s good. It does what it needs to do, and it doesn’t well. I do t worry about our systems being attacked at all. The only real complaint I have is with the difficulty of engaging some of the features. That said, there are plenty of features to be engaged. It also helps with the Microsoft programs we run. They play very well together. ----- ### "A Great Product For Incoming Threat Management" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *6 January 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Absolutely amazing product that takes care of our incoming threat management with a great integration with our Office365 software. > > **Cons**: Threat Mangement Incident Alerts are sometimes vague or require digging to figure out exactly who/what is affected. > > We switched from Webroot, and it's been a great experience so far. Any issues have been handled by support quickly and with little issue. Integration and setup was quite simple comparitively to Webroot as well. ----- ### "Great protection" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *31 July 2026* | Human Resources (HR) Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most is knowing that my browsing is protected while completing my cases that involve sensitive information > > **Cons**: There really isn't much I dislike, this was a great switch for the last provider my company used and we are satisfied with the results. > > My overall experience has been great and I feel that my system is as protected as possible for an affordable price. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/1030990/microsoft-defender-for-business?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/1030990/microsoft-defender-for-business) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
