- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Best for: Teams already running Microsoft 365
It earns a place because it covers phones as well as desktops and servers, and many companies already own it through their Microsoft 365 license, so the first question is what you have paid for already. Its alerts flow into Microsoft's other security products, which suits a Microsoft-centric estate of any size. If you run a mixed stack, test how well its alerts reach the SIEM and SOAR you already use.

- SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint
Best for: Teams wanting automatic response and rollback
Its place comes from response it can run on its own, with AI on the device that works offline and rollback in one click. It suits teams of any size that are short on analysts and want the agent to act first. It also covers identity attacks and mobile devices, so decide whether you want those in scope now or later.
