Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"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."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows us to manage our overall addresses and IT in one location. Many companies are using this solution, it is very popular."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"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."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"It's a very complex platform."
"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."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"The solution is expensive."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
