Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"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 product is not resource-intensive."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Cisco Secure Email's most valuable is email certification."
"Administration of the email domains and custom filters are easily done via the web interface."
"The most valuable feature is the different content filters we are using, such as DKIM."
"It provides good IT assistance."
"It does a great job of preventing spam, malware, and ransomware. I can only go by what people have told me and what I've seen, but I have not seen spam in a year and a half to two years in my own company mailbox. And there are not a lot of catches where it's catching something that should have gotten through, either."
"Cisco Secure Email is a budget-friendly solution."
"It integrates with Active Directory and we can limit specific users to using specific applications."
"The tool comes with AI features. It is good for clients who already use Cisco products due to integration."
"It is stable and reliable."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"There could be additional DLP functionality for it."
"The hardware is not up to the mark. Two to three times a year we have complete downtime."
"Better dashboards and more interactive overviews would be nice, but the current functionality is sufficient."
"We have been struggling in the last month with Cisco encryption and with the S/MIME encryption. I don't know if it is an issue on our side or if these features of the solution are not working very well."
"The Forged Email Detection feature needs improvement, particularly with domain. The sensors are not that good and the rules sets are unclear."
"We have occasionally had hardware problems because we are using an appliance-based solution, but that might change. We may consider going to virtual systems."
"The tool's pricing can be improved."
"The pricing needs to be reconsidered or enhanced."
"The solution could be less expensive."
