Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"The malicious URL scanning, as well as the anti-malware features, have been really useful for us in our environment."
"At one point, there was a zero-day attack. The Cisco appliance detected it and stopped it, helping us out. We avoided the attack and potential damage."
"It's a bit easy to handle Cisco Secure Email; it's not that difficult. For the logs, which are in PDF format, it's not hard to read them. We don't need Wireshark much to analyze the logs."
"It blocks bulk marketing messages, graymail, spam, and provides advanced malware protection."
"Spam controls are excellent because they are a powerful feature that operates almost effortlessly."
"The solution works well."
"It has an intuitive, clear graphical interface where you can deploy your policies and understand the overall flow. There are a lot of things that you cannot handle on the graphic interface, like message filters. For this, you need to go to a lower level where you have more power, like command line interface. So, this solution has the best of both worlds. There are not a lot of bells and whistles. It is more practical with access to most features that you can configure."
"It has the IMS engine, Intelligent Multi-Scan engine, and it does a good job, right out-of-the-box, of blocking the vast majority of things that should be blocked."
"We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for."
"I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."
"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"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."
"We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email."
"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."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"One of the things that Cisco could improve on with IronPort is the support. Cisco doesn't really have enough engineers who have full, hands-on knowledge of IronPort. Knowledge of it is not something you can find easily compared to other security appliances."
"I would like more functionality and how to use it for Level 2 type staff. The biggest issue is it needs to be easier to use and navigate."
"The UI is definitely one area of improvement because it doesn't match other interfaces and the navigation can be a little clunky."
"It is not user-friendly, and it is quite complicated. So, it should be more user-friendly."
"In future releases, I would like to see two main improvements come to mind. First, the current solution requires maintaining two separate operating systems for FTD, which can be cumbersome. I'd love to see a single operating system for the FTD box."
"The reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The management features of the product are not up to date."
"There could be additional DLP functionality for it."
"Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down."
"However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution."
"It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."
