We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected.""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.""The product is not resource-intensive.""I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface.""The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies.""The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""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.""Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."

"Easy to use for non-technical users.""Email Attachment Protection detects any insecure files and quickly blocks them to prevent the spread of viruses to other secure documents.""Avanan is a stable software. My company hasn't faced any issues, bugs, or problems with the performance of Avanan.""The program has reduced the dangers related to phishing, malware, ransomware, and other vulnerabilities.""I highly recommend this solution to any prospective buyer.""The integration with all our existing and new applications is great.""Email inspection has saved many employees from spam attacks and viruses from unauthorized sources.""The threat detection tools enable us to ascertain malware and phishing messages across the email network infrastructure."

"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."

Cons
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved.""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.""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.""There is room for improvement with the UI.""Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites.""The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect.""Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"It should reduce the amount of time needed for thorough scanning.""They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible.""In Avanan, the email channel is one of the channels where data leakage happens, and they need to consider it from a DLP perspective.""It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure.""It is very difficult to find the required documentation.""It should also offer a quick backup in case any email is wrongly quarantined or deleted to ensure no data loss.""The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands.""The cost can be reviewed to enable SMEs to acquire it and enjoy great security features."

More Avanan Cons →

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's a user-base subscription."
  • "From the pricing point of view, like any other product in the market, there is scope for negotiation."

  • "For licensing, it's usually a yearly package for customers who are subscribed to Office 365, but they can also pay on a monthly basis."
  • "Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is an add-on to the Office license. Many customers are purchasing this solution."

  • "Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
  • "Having the flexibility and modeling to do the pricing that best fits the needs of the organization is incredibly ideal. That is what Avanan does.
