Microsoft 365 Defender - " Protection at its finest"
Microsoft 365 Defender has protected me a lot. I do not have to worry about downloading unsafe files or software, clicking unsafe links or getting malware. Microsoft 365 Defender promptly alerts me about any threats and suggests the actions that should be taken. Moreover, a detail analysis of the threats and their risk level are also provided to me. Furthermore, in my previous job as an Accounts Clerk, I had sensitive financial information about my company on a Desktop. Fortunately, I did not have to worry about the computer getting hacked because Microsoft 365 Defender provided malware protection and prevented me from clicking on unsafe links that could cause unauthorized persons to access the sensitive information.
PROSI love that Microsoft 365 Defender is very easy to use. It is also very effective and efficient, which has provided me with protection at home and at work. When I am at home, I can surf the internet safely because I know that Microsoft 365 Defender is protecting me. I can click on emails, links, and visit pages without the fear of getting malware on my computer or getting hacked. At my previous workplace, Microsoft 365 Defender was used by many employees, including myself, because the Microsoft 365 Defender was very efficient in alerting us about any threats and what actions need to be taken to eliminate the threats.
CONSMicrosoft 365 Defender is a very good software. However, since Microsoft 365 Defender is running in the background, it can sometimes cause my computer to freeze or cause applications to crash. This makes me very frustrated. Additionally, the constant notifications can be a bit annoying. Nonetheless, Microsoft 365 Defender is doing what it does best, which is to protect the user and his/her device.

Microsoft 365 Defender pros vs cons
What I discovered maximum treasured in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is capable of experimenting with emails and shielding customers from risky hyperlinks or attachments. I like it
PROSThis nice tool has carried out a first-rate task on the dashboard. The appearance withinside the incidents queue, you can notice the incidents indexed through severity, which permits the administrator to fast discover and take action. A short review is more capable of stopping threats.
CONSThere are a few fake positives and, in some instances, you could get inundated with alerts. Another feature to improve is hard to deactivate all functions when the user does no longer wants them.
Reason for choosing Microsoft 365 Defender
If you are a partner, you can test the products first before you implement them.

This can result in additional work for security teams in terms of investigating and filtering out false positives or managing redundant alerts.
