"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."

"Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is an easy-to-use solution."
"I have a lot of control over spam and phishing emails."

"The product protects against malware."
"It's all running in the backend, so it doesn't affect the app functionality."
"Online Protection's most valuable feature is its admin interface."
"It has a really nice web-based administration console."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection has features like DLP (data loss protection), Safe Attachment, and Safe Links."
"The initial setup is just a standard process."
"The solution uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, so you don't need train it to detect something. The detection and response times are short. It's an excellent product."
"We use the solution to receive emails. We do not use the calendar function as our clients are slow adaptors to the latest features."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."

"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can 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."
"The solution’s pricing is not reasonable."
"The pricing is a little high compared to other products."
"I guess I would say maybe quick access to training material for end-users. I know partners have access to this but I as an end-user do not have immediate access to new update information."
"The solution needs to improve its backup."
"I would like to get reports about vulnerable connections from our clients with information about domains, public IPs, etc. That would be highly useful."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"The price of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection could be reduced to make it more competitive."
"The product could be more stable. Microsoft products could be more stable because sometimes, even though they are updating some things, we cannot find those updates."
"The solution can be complex at times. It would be nice to have the on-server version. It needs to improve the stability as well."
"The tool's classification for bulk email is cumbersome."
"The solution must improve the user experience."
