Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"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."
"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"A stable solution."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"The solution is scalable."
"URL inspection works pretty well."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"It's really quite user-friendly. In terms of technical superiority and the product itself, there are no complaints. It is really cutting edge."
"The solution's performance is good."
"Its administration console is very easy to use. The administration console is absolutely important because you interact with the platform through it."
"It's good, it keeps the spam out."
"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
"From an administrative point of view, Mimecast is a little bit cumbersome and difficult. It's not something that the end-user can easily find navigate themselves."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The reaction time between a new threat being identified and Mimecast picking it up needs to be narrowed a bit."
"The detection rates are an area for improvement."
"Many of our users complain that the system is blocking too many attachments. It's a good practice from a security perspective, but our users think Mimecast is doing too much. It might be something we'll have to adjust."
"They could provide a unified licensing model, including all the security features."
"The solution should include more AI features instead of Mimecast's more general static configuration tooling."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
