Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"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 email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"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."
"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."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"The ability to detect activity on the network is very useful to us. Even if it's not necessarily an illegal activity, if it is abnormal activity, it is able to detect it and notify us."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"The product can scale."
"I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
"The most valuable asset is the time-lining capability for any breach activity."
"The solution is stable."
"CB Defense is more powerful, and you can take more actions than others. Its security features and signatures are constantly updated, so it is more effective than other security solutions."
"It uses machine learning and behavioral analytics for advanced threat detection and response."
"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"The solution has a library where we can have multiple threat intels onboarded. We just have to subscribe to a particular site intel and they'll provide us with all of the truncated details so that we can create IOCs and alerts on the basis of those IOCs."
"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."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"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."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"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."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"It's a very complex platform."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"Occasionally, we'll have issues with the latest version and they'll basically tell us that they will improve it in the next iteration. They need to work on their version release quality."
