The Malware Protection Test considered a scenario in which the malware pre-existed on the disk or entered the test system via some other way than directly from the Internet. The number of false alarms ranged between zero and 41. ESET Endpoint Protection Advanced Cloud with ESET Cloud Administrator detected all but three cases and generated no false alarm. The number of missed samples ranged from zero (the two security solutions that detected all the cases both generated a high number of false alarms) to 27 the average number of misses was six. The latest test comprised 767 test cases of drive-by exploits and URLs that pointed directly to malware executables. The AV-Comparatives' Real-World Protection Test mimicked online malware attacks that a typical business user might encounter when surfing the Internet. This first half-year report of the Business Main-Test Series of 2020 consisted of three tests: Real-World Protection Test, Malware Protection Test and Performance Test. To prove it, let's have a detailed look on the latest report1 by AV-Comparatives published on July 15, 2020. SMBs that don't have malware analysts to investigate false alarms and that don't keep the pace of buying new computers every three years should be aware Microsoft Defender is an option they can ill afford. Despite the fact that Defender has a comparable detection rate with ESET, it has remarkably higher false alarms and terribly slows down the machines that run it.
We have noted that Microsoft has been aggressively pushing their EL licensing throughout the Microsoft channel.Īfter many years since entry into the endpoint security market, has Microsoft Defender become such a good product? In our opinion, no. Users that have Windows 10 machines are now getting Microsoft Defender for free with the O/S and they have the option of upgrading to Microsoft Defender ATP by buying enterprise licenses (E元 or EL5). According to Gartner, Microsoft Defender with ATP is now a product that deserves to be in the leader quadrant. In the past year, we have had a lot of feedback from the market about the use of Microsoft Defender as an alternative to ESET.
