I think it's the worst
It doesn't solve any problems, it just causes more. The only reason I have it is because it comes pre-installed
PROSThe only thing I like about Defender is that it is very simple to disable. It only represents an obstacle to install programs.
CONSIts virus scans are the worst, it consumes a lot of RAM and gives very low results
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Because I need an antivirus that does work

provides adequate protection against the most common threats
Considering it comes for free with the Windows Operating System, it has high compatibility with the microsoft tools we commonly use. And that saves us time spent downloading .apk files and installing them. Also, updates and upgrades are mostly automated and do not require any additional time spent to carry them out. These are all great benefits Defender provides at zero cost to us, so I can't not love it regardless of its few flaws.
PROSthe best thing about Defender is that it comes at zero additional costs for full protection and product functionality. The spam detection and filtering mechanism allows for manual readjustments to permanently address cases of mislabeling and false alarms. The advanced parental control guidance it provides is also quite effective in it's range of custom adjustments to suit each potential user.
CONSScanning local drives can be painfully slow especially for huge file counts, even if the size of the scanned documents are tiny. They also fail to recognize certain low level threats that are easily detected by others.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Defender was the cheaper option.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Defender for Office 365
The persistent product license mishaps and accompanying stubborn notifications that never go away no matter how many times you disable them made using it very annoying.
