Before you pay for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Microsoft Defender for Endpoint against the tools that do have one before committing.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint runs on windows, macos, linux, ios, android, and is published by Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington, USA. The full record is on the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint review, and the rest of the category is under best cybersecurity tools.
