Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"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 most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"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 models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"It's a very stable product."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The most valuable feature has been the behavioral analytics that allows us to monitor all the traffic."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The security is very good, compared to some other products."
"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
"It provides good security."
"They have a very good reporting system and they have a very good dashboard for the administrator, which makes monitoring everything easy."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"The product is quite scalable."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"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."
"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 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."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"Darktrace needs to automate the reports of false positives, botnets and everything."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"It's very heavy and it affects the computer's performance."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"The encryption feature could improve."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
