"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"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."

"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The product's most valuable features are impersonation protection and phishing countermeasures."
"It's good, it keeps the spam out."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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."

"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 certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"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."
"Email security checks contain a small number of false positives."
"It needs to make sure that the application is up to date with new attacks. They should also send us the demo or introductions for their new incoming features."
"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."
"They should improve the cookies management feature."
"They could provide a unified licensing model, including all the security features."
"Their support should be improved. They are notorious for sending you to knowledge-based articles rather than actually talking to you, but that is, unfortunately, kind of becoming a trend with everything. In terms of features, I haven't had any complaints. However, I don't like the fact they moved to a paid training subscription model. They used to have a lot of free webinars for training, but they have started to charge for them in the past year."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
"The feature that should be included is to remove the block on the encrypted files."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Its pricing can be improved. It is a bit expensive."
