Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"The product's scalability is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"We need the phishing detection and email quarantine. Once an email is considered malicious, it stays in the quarantine where we can interrogate it. We can check out why it was quarantined and see if it should be delivered to the individual."
"Check Point's technical support is very good."
"Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble."
"It provides visibility of events, what's going on with the environment, what we're missing with our other solution, and the user behavior."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
"The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes."
"If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important."
"This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators."
"FortiMail Cloud is very fast."
"The implementation was very professional. There are a lot of features I can get through Fortinet and FortiMail, such as security. FortiGuard is the most reliable and professional mitigation center to handle incidents and risk that I have to face."
"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."
"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."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities."
"There could be more automation features included for it."
"if a phishing email were to get through and bypass the product — which very few do — it would be nice if, when a user clicked on that phishing email, they got a second-chance opportunity, a chance to double-check that they really wanted to proceed to that website."
"A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module."
"I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective."
"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"The implementation could definitely be better."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
