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 email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"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."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"In terms of features, the data or information they collect and unsupervised machine learning are very valuable. Its unsupervised machine learning has reduced our team's effort. Both Darktrace and Vectra work on unsupervised machine learning that learns the behavior or develops a profile on its own, which allows our security team to do some other tasks rather than spending time on Darktrace or Vectra. Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good. Along with that, if we utilize the integration feature properly, the automated incident response capability of Darktrace is quite useful."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The main valuable feature is that we don't need a lot of analysts. With few analysts, we have all the network monitored, 24/7."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool."
"The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products."
"The encryption features are most valuable to us."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"The deployment is simple."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages. I believe that this would be easy to enhance in the future."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find."
"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."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
