We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected.""The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint.""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 is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable.""There are several features that I consider valuable.""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.""The product is not resource-intensive.""I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."

"I am impressed with the tool's discovery capabilities which help me find out who is sending the emails on the company's behalf. I also find the ability to detect and generate reports on phishing emails a valuable feature.""It is really important for large companies to have the brand protection that is provided by Agari.""It comes with a lot of helpful tips for complicated areas.""If spam or some kind of malicious email gets past Mimecast and gets into our email environment, we can go into Agari and we can search for it."

"It's scalable and stable.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people.""The solution's voice services work well for our company.""It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences.""An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources.""Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions.""The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution."

Cons
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help.""We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required.""There is room for improvement in terms of reporting.""We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend.""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.""This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better.""There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"Some customers in the financial sector do not like the cloud solution because they don't want data to be transferred to a US-based cloud.""The protocol is quite complicated, which may not be something that could be improved, but it would be better if it was simplified.""The product's user interface is clunky. We have difficulty in finding what we need. I would also like to see automation in the onboarding processes."

More Fortra's Agari Cons →

"The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
