We’re a macOS house that uses Jamf for management and Microsoft Defender ATP for Anti-Malware. Defender ATP gives great reporting but the performance impact on endpoints is obscene. During onboarding for Developers we go through the Xcode Command Line Tools and Homebrew installation, if ATP has already been installed it adds somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes to the installation time. I’ll get some pricing for Jamf Protect and if it’s competitively priced I’ll see about moving us over. I’d much rather be using something built-in than a poorly optimised solution.

Protect is much better than ATP, both on the endpoint and the admin console. Crowdstrike is also good, with minimal resource footprint.

On my old 16” 2019 MBP, ATP used to legitimately cause a ~10C increase in “idle” temps. Not a huge fan.
