Our business primarily uses macOS but we use Microsoft Defender ATP because we’re an Azure and Microsoft 365 house. The performance hit is absolutely insane but I’ve simply not had enough time to debug it and see if it can be tuned to something more reasonable.

Installing Homebrew is probably the biggest example, without Defender ATP, probably ~3 minutes. With Defender ATP, upwards of 15.

I’d love to convince the powers that be that XProtect is enough, but I’d need some way of measuring and auditing it. Any suggestions?
