Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient.""The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues.""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.""The deployment capability is a great feature.""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.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe.""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."

"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic.""Support is very helpful and responsive.""The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email.""The most valuable feature is the network security module.""We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up.""The most valuable feature is the view into the application.""It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities.""The solution can scale."

Cons
"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.""I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way.""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.""Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab.""Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features.""The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement.""We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email.""Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically.""The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless.""It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives.""Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone.""It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto.""It is not a very secure product.""There is a lot of room for Improvement in the offering, from cost to functionality. It is pretty straightforward to implement which is an advantage. However, it falls short in pricing, detection capabilities, and, most importantly, reporting and policy management.""I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."

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."

  • "Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
