Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"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 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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"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."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"A stable solution."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to use and easy to set up."
"We like the content filtering and secure messaging features."
"Its administration console is very easy to use. The administration console is absolutely important because you interact with the platform through it."
"The product's most valuable features are impersonation protection and phishing countermeasures."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"We like Mimecast's spam filtering. The email signature feature is also a big plus for our users."
"Email security is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"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 XDR dashboard has room 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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"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."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."

"While it's quick and easy, the initial setup could be more user-friendly."
"As a user, the user interface of the management console could be upgraded, for example."
"The solution should include more AI features instead of Mimecast's more general static configuration tooling."
"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."
"I did have a problem with Mimecast. That is why I was looking for an alternative solution because their sender IP address gets poorly rated by Microsoft."
"External security features need improvement."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
