Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"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."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have."
"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 technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The product can scale."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"I have used multiple solutions, but its graphical user interface is quite interesting and quite descriptive. There are a lot of video animations, and we can easily see how the data is transferred between various points. That's something really interesting. It is also quite easy to understand for a new user."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."
"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."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"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."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"Its threat analyzer could be better. It should also have agents. They should improve this product by installing agents for the machine to get more visibility. Currently, they are monitoring only the network. They should also monitor the agents from inside. It should also have a better pricing plan because it is an expensive product."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"The program is quite expensive."
"Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product."
