"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure."
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point."
"The program has a nice interface and it is easy to use."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"It is fast and has a very simple, easy integration."
"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."

"The solution is very, very stable."
"Its performance is very good and it is stable."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"From time to time, the system's administrators notice the increase in the false-positive alerts being reported by CloudGuard SaaS."

"Check Point could improve its marketing strategy."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory."
"There are features that other solutions have that this one is lacking, such as reporting options. I hope in future releases they advance their features list."
"Such kinds of things, raised from the point from the objective actually, we are using Fortinet FortiMail. We don't find any kinds of challenge or difficulties, but Fortinet FortiMail is more efficient and more effective for us. I don't know for other client, but for us, Fortinet FortiMail is very effective Like, for instance, if it is possible, let's say some kind of high threat is actually encountered if it could be possible to SMBs in our smartphone, or mobile apps, kinds of thing, if Fortinet FortiMail is available to monitor the thing using from our mobile phone from our smartphone. If such kinds of things are truly included, it will be more or good for us."
"The solution could improve by making the UI more user-friendly and increasing spam and threat detection capabilities."
