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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"Because we scan products, and there is a lot of critical data, security is very important in these cases."
"The tool has a DLP solution which we can implement. Its database is updated regularly."
"The solution works well."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Cisco Secure Email is a budget-friendly solution."
"The tech engineers are very knowledgeable."
"The filtering is definitely better at catching both spam and malicious messages, and there's a lot of extremely granular ability for setting up rules. You can do it the way you want to. The Microsoft solution tends to be pretty limited in how it allows some of that to be done."
"Administration of the email domains and custom filters are easily done via the web interface."
"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."
"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."
"I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"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."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"I would rate the stability a six out of ten. We had multiple issues with the stability."
"If you are not a technical guy, it is hard to maneuver, but as soon as you work on it, it gets better and better. If there was a better way to know how to do things or how to find things, it would be good."
"The initial setup was complex because I have two sites with physical clusters."
"Cisco Email Secure's pricing needs to be less. We have vendors who provide cheaper solutions with the same features."
"There could be additional DLP functionality for it."
"I use the search all the time. Sometimes, it is hard to search for things and things are hard to find. People come to me all the time, saying, "This email didn't get through." Then, I go searching and don't find it on the first search. You have to think about alternative searches. I don't know if there is an easier way that they could help to find things. I don't know how they could simplify it, because now everybody else is using the cloud and everything is coming from Office 365, or whatever. It is just not the same environment from years ago where everybody had their own server and you could search easier."
"The solution does not have a strong outbound service. It should also integrate DLP."
"It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."
"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."
