Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"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 have used multiple solutions, but its graphical user interface is quite interesting and quite descriptive. There are a lot of video animations, and we can easily see how the data is transferred between various points. That's something really interesting. It is also quite easy to understand for a new user."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"CB Defense is more powerful, and you can take more actions than others. Its security features and signatures are constantly updated, so it is more effective than other security solutions."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"We noticed that from time to time, Microsoft's stability does have problems. Sometimes the service goes up and down. Sometimes they change without prior notice."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"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."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
