User Testimonials
	Microsoft Defender for Business	TotalAV
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Defender for Business is well suited for any size organization using the Microsoft 365 Suite. As an included feature in the mid and upper tiers of the 365 suites, it can quickly address antivirus protection for any sized company. It's compliance and security dashboards can help guide sole proprietorship owners in better understanding their security standing. The software also scales to give mid-sized and enterprise originations the in-depth information needed for compliance.

Pros	Monitors the health of endpoints Protects endpoints with antivirus Allows for policy configurations that can be deployed to endpoints Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Malware protection. Junk Cleaner. Duplicate File Finder. Browser Cleaner. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Cons	Finding blocked programs in the UI is not intuitive if the alert message is dismissed. The admin portal changes often with features coming and going. Admin portal interface is cluttered and sometimes not intuitive. Incentivized MM Michael Miller IT Engineer Read full review	It would be great if the reporting was more intuitive. More help tutorials would help me understand operations. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	So far we have found no alternative that would overall offer us more than we are getting from Microsoft Defender for Business! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Microsoft Defender for Business is user friendly but requires some IT knowledge to adapt to its full potential. Microsoft 365 business will likely be more adaptable and have less of a learning curve than new users when configuring settings or security policies. Overall, I would say that strengths outweigh weaknesses and the unknowns can be learned Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Defender for Business, I believe, is a "light" version of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. While they both have some of the same features, Microsoft Defender for Business has far less, and the more complex you want to get with your configurations, you may need to dip your toe into the InTune Admin Center to deploy certain policies. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Sophos wasn't as user-friendly and TotalAV was more cost-effective for the team. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Return on Investment	Improved cybersecurity Learning curve Resource consumption Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	One positive impact is the improved speed of the computers as there's more space on each one. Peace of mind is another big return as we don't need to worry about our files - or our clients. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
