Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"I have found the automation and AI features to be valuable. If someone were to come in to the office at midnight and log in, Darktrace would flag it."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"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."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"It should be easier to access the Darktrace portal and its documentation. Only the customer can access their portal and support. It could be cheaper."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
