Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Easy to use for non-technical users."
"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 program has reduced the dangers related to phishing, malware, ransomware, and other vulnerabilities."
"The integration with all our existing and new applications is great."
"Spam protection is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It can retract unsafe emails and remove them from the entire communication channel."
"The feature I found most valuable was getting details on the emails, being alerted once those emails got a bad reputation, and then being able to take action on those emails."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"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."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"When sending bulky emails, the system slows down and takes a long time before it responds effectively to our requests."
"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"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."
"They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible."
"The overall user interface is not attractive. It needs some improvement."
"The unified dashboard that it displays needs some improvements in terms of the KPIs that they have."
"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."
"Avanan doesn't cover certain tool segments."
"This solution needs to improve the area of GUI as well as dashboards because they are very poor in terms of the current email security solution."
