### "High Protection in a good and reliable software"

May 25, 2021

4.0

Pros

With this product there is no need to worry about malware because of the multiple functions it allows us to detect and mitigate a threat easily, also it is an easy-to-use software for any user. One of its fabulous features is the detection of scams in the emails you receive, it is wonderful to have this tool.

Cons

The only problem was the number of notifications received as it gets to a point where it is annoying to receive them and there is no option to configure this problem.

It's easy to use. Helped me when I needed it. I used get a lot of junk mail and Defender keeps them out. I will keep using it.

Pros

The Anti-Spam and Anti-Phishing are great. I don't get that junk mail any more. It's been a blessing.

Cons

I'm not a heavy computer user so I haven't seen any yet. Maybe later on.

### "Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Review"

April 22, 2021

5.0

In my examination, Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection goes about as a encompassing security framework to give preventive coverage of the framework against distant dangers. One of its coverage is, for instance, to ensure the terminals against cutting edge assaults, and in any event, when the assault is executed and dodged, the framework promptly alerts you when this happens

Pros

Incorporated into Windows 10. Great lab scores. Incredible active anti-malware score. Straightforward ransomware assurance. Continuously on if no other antivirus is available.

Cons

Helpless outcomes in phishing assurance test. Off-kilter filter booking. SmartScreen Filter works just in Microsoft programs.

i love and still enjoy the MS Defender within the package.

Pros

the updating definitions, it does a scan each day or days you can make. Alerts on some areas that might be critical.

Cons

some areas you must pay for but nothing seemed to be ever wrong. I find the malware/virus protecting to be no loopholes.

Pros

It is well integrated to Office 365 and it will be the best protection if you use Office 365. It is always updated new threats would not be much of a big deal.

Cons

The interface was confusing at first look. They should improve sorting the options like other antivirus software or make it customizable.
