Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"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."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"A stable solution."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"The interface of this solution is very easy to navigate and user-friendly. There is no delivery in email and other communications, making it reliable. The configuration is relatively easy."
"It does a good job for us, and its admin console is easy to use."
"It's good, it keeps the spam out."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to use and easy to set up."
"In the current environment that the world is in, everyone is trying to hack everyone else, so Project+ definitely helps a lot there."

"Mimecast certainly helped my customers reduce phishing emails."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"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."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
"Many of our users complain that the system is blocking too many attachments. It's a good practice from a security perspective, but our users think Mimecast is doing too much. It might be something we'll have to adjust."
"The solution is complex and not easy to use."
"The solution's console interface was recently changed for the admins, but the previous one was much better because we could open tabs on it."
"The feature that should be included is to remove the block on the encrypted files."
"While it's quick and easy, the initial setup could be more user-friendly."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
