I joined the preview program for ATP when it was first announced, and have
continued through various preview/testing phases since then.  It's a great
product, and getting better all the time.  I love that the client side
components of it are built into windows 10, so every time a new Win10 build
comes out, new features and capabilities are added to ATP.

Now, with that said, you'll notice that I said I've continued with the
preview program, and not that I've purchased the product.  There are a few
good reasons for that -

1) Windows Defender ATP only works on Windows 10.
2) When I say ONLY Windows 10, I mean it.  As in, not supported on Windows
Server, even Server 2016
3) ATP isn't available to purchase as a standalone product, only as part of
the Windows 10 Enterprise E5 license
4) The Windows 10 Enterprise E5 license isn't available under OPEN
licensing agreements
5) We're a non-profit, and have some kind of charity version of an OPEN
license agreement in order to get charity pricing.
6) Add up #'s 3, 4, and 5, and it boils down to - We can't buy it.


I think MS is going to shut down the test program accounts in the next
month or two, and we'll deprovision ATP on our machines.  The alternative
product that we've been considering and will probably end up buying soon is
CarbonBlack's CB Defense product.  I don't like CB Defense as much as ATP,
and CB Defense has a few things that leave me feeling like I wouldn't want
it to completely replace my traditional antivirus product, but it's what's
available to us right now.
