Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"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 basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The interface is great."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"Great technical support staff."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"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 company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"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 UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"It's a very complex platform."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"They could have more reports."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
