Yes.

It uses next to no system resources (issues like this aside), it integrates perfectly with Windows (it comes from Microsoft, after all), it's reasonably effective (to the chagrin of AV vendors the world over), and it isn't intrusive.

Its definitely as intrusive as other AV products. with Microsoft's push for more telemetry collection.

but it does integrate with the system well since its from Microsoft.

Yes. If you exclude all the issues with resource use, it uses none.
