Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"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."
"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."
"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 for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"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."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It is a stable solution."
"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I like its reporting."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"Some of the valuable features I have found are the online documentation of the solution is well organized and thorough. I like the simplicity of bypass and the visualization of the active components."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"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."
"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 phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."
"The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
