Frequently Asked Questions

P1 vs P2?

P1 covers core EDR, anti-malware, ASR, tamper protection — sufficient for most SMBs. P2 adds automated investigation, advanced hunting, threat intel, vulnerability management — justified for security-mature operations.

Standalone vs in E5?

If you only need Defender for Endpoint P2 (not other E5 components), standalone is more cost-effective. If you're considering E5 for other reasons (Purview, Entra P2), bundled is typically better.

Replaces our antivirus?

Yes — Defender for Endpoint is a complete AV+EDR. No need for additional third-party AV (and concurrent operation often causes conflicts).

macOS / Linux support?

Yes — Defender for Endpoint covers Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints. Mobile (iOS/Android) is also supported.

Xen Bilişim Deployment Process

  1. 1. Discovery & sizing: Current environment, user count, OS/cloud distribution and compliance requirements analysed; correct SKU and licence count proposed.
  2. 2. Pilot deployment: A 10-25 device subset goes live; integration with existing security stack tested; alerting + reporting configured.
  3. 3. Full rollout: Phased rollout across all endpoints; policy templates applied; user training and IT runbook delivered.
  4. 4. Optimisation & follow-up: 90-day post-launch tuning: false-positive triage, policy hardening, KPI review and quarterly health-checks.

Typical end-to-end timeline: 2-4 weeks (varies by user count and integration scope).
