Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"Our customers are satisfied with Defender for 365 because Microsoft products are easy to use and customize to meet the client's needs. Everything is in one place, so we can adjust policies as needed for phishing, DLP, ATP, or any other security features that our clients want to apply."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"I particularly like Antigena and the analytics around the real-time monitoring of our network. I also like its reporting because it has got a seven-day reporting period within the system. Every time you run the reports, it gives you the data about the previous seven days. I like that because it is in real-time. I enjoy reading those reports and getting a very clear and decisive idea of what's happening on my network on a real-time basis. I like the actual real-time monitoring of spoofing and things like that. I also like the user monitoring as well as the network logging capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"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 be more proactive."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"The program is quite expensive."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning. It would be good if they can improve their algorithm or technical functionality to reduce the fine-tuning effort. They can also come up with something at the endpoint level. So far, Darktrace has been a network detection response (NDR) solution. It does not offer much at the endpoint level or on user-client devices or servers. There should be more visibility at the endpoint level. It would be good to have the detection and response at the endpoint level by Darktrace. It should also have integration with an agile environment so that we can have continuous development and continuous integration in the application development environment. This is currently not there. It should also have internet-facing platform visibility, which is currently missing. They also need to improve the reporting and management dashboards. Currently, these are not so easy for a non-technical person. All these features would make Darktrace much better, and they would also be helpful in selling more solutions."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
