Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"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."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"Our customers are satisfied with Defender for 365 because Microsoft products are easy to use and customize to meet the client's needs. Everything is in one place, so we can adjust policies as needed for phishing, DLP, ATP, or any other security features that our clients want to apply."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"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 product can scale."
"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."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It has the best live response feature."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total."
"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"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."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"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 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"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."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"One thing that I would like to look at going forward is to have a fully automated network infrastructure that is monitored automatically real-time, and that gives me this kind of capability where I would be able to look at my network at any given time and see the state of my network. With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that want you to give me data from this date to this date. I don't want that. I want a fast solution in which it doesn't matter when I log into the application. Whenever I log in, I must be able to see my network and run a report. In other words, if I go in now and I say, "Give me a full report of what happened today, it must be able to give me that. It mustn't just be limited to a seven-day period, for argument's sake. It must be able to give me real-time and day-to-day tracking of what has happened within my network."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"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 product's stability could be improved."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"It would be a better solution if Carbon Black Cb Defense had an on-promise solution and a virus auto delete or quarantine."
