It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us.""Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features.""It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats.

Cons
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails.""About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting.""The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included.""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.""The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved.""Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites.""The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent.""The product must provide better malware detection."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"The user experience must be improved.""They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible.""The overall user interface is not attractive. It needs some improvement.""The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands.""It should reduce the amount of time needed for thorough scanning.""Familiarization with performance for new teams may take a long time.""In Avanan, the email channel is one of the channels where data leakage happens, and they need to consider it from a DLP perspective.""The system response in a slow computing device affects performance when sending and receiving emails."

More Avanan Cons →

"The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined.""It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."
