Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"The integration with all our existing and new applications is great."
"The ease of installation and the AI capacity of the product are valuable."
"Email Attachment Protection detects any insecure files and quickly blocks them to prevent the spread of viruses to other secure documents."
"Email encryption enhances end to end security of any data before it passes through the networking system."
"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its Anti-Malware solution for Office 365, and box.com."
"Spam protection is the most valuable feature."
"If we look at four to five years ago, we had close to six or eight people click a link in an email per month. Now, we are probably down to about five or six clicks a year, if not less."
"This technology is one of Check Point's acquisitions, and it is currently a powerful tool that provides all the protection that is not found in other tools."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"I like CloudLock because when data gets sent out, I do not want it to get out of the environment. In today's world, a lot of users will remotely use the application. It screens all of the sensitive data. That data will really be as part of the environment that you do not want it to be part of. CloudLock is protection for sensitive data."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"The cost can be reviewed to enable SMEs to acquire it and enjoy great security features."
"Being cloud first and because we are in the movie business, we use a lot of Macintoshes. So, there is absolutely no reason for us to have Active Directory whatsoever. However, if you are using Office 365, you must have Active Directory in order to reset passwords. Even though we have a single sign-on provider, we must have Azure Active Directory for Office 365, which is really stupid. As a cloud application, you would think that I don't need Active Directory, which I don't need for anything else except Office 365. We have one server inside that space to help us manage Active Directory just for Office 365. This is a very sore point, but it is what it is."
"Sometimes it seemed like the allow list wasn't working. I've created many allow list rules however, they still seem to be blocked; the same is true with the blocked list rules."
"The user experience must be improved."
"It is very difficult to find the required documentation."
"It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure."
"Integration with various SaaS offerings, who are leading in the SaaS market."
"The overall user interface is not attractive. It needs some improvement."
"The only improvement is that it has to be a bigger part of an end-user device. It should look at how endpoints appear on the EDR rather than creating a separate agent. We have to integrate the source code into the system endpoint and make it an agent."
"The solution needs to have better integration capabilities. I have a lot of customers asking about how they can integrate it better."
