"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."

"Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency."

"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."

"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."
"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."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."

"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities."

I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
