Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup was easy.""Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links.""It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased.""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.""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 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.""The product's scalability is good.""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."

"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""It is very scalable.""It is stable and reliable.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."

Cons
"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.""The XDR dashboard has room for improvement.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better.""The custom alerts have to improve a lot.""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.""I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way.""The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved.""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."

"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
