Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"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 risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"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."

"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"A stable solution."
