Hi,

We have an on-premisis web application which sends a file to AV to scan for malware detection and get result.

  1. Which option would be best for us among Windows Defeneder & Windows Defender for Endpoint plans?
  2. If we choose windows defender for Endpoints, then the scan will be done on the file in local server? or the file will be taken to cloud and scanned? We are thinking about the security of the file.
  3. If we use the REST API for Windows Defender for Endpoint on-demand scan on a particular file, will I be able to get the scan results for a particular scan? Is {machine action id} is unique for each /runliveresponse api call? Will I get the AV scan result from /{machine action id}/GetLiveResponseResultDownloadLink(index={command-index}) ?

Please help us to choose the best plan for our usage.

Thanks in advance.
