Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's scalability is good.""The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not.""Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises.""The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency.""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.""The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."

"The most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy.""We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."

More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution.""You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail.""The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it.""The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities.""The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup."

Cons
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically.""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.""The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect.""Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once.""We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend.""This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products.""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.""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."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined.""It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."

More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Cons →

"Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on.""It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't.""The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement.""The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license.""Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users."
