"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"The initial setup was easy."
"A stable solution."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"Email encryption, because it fulfills our business needs."
"The interface makes it really easy to administer and configure."
"The ease of use and the security offered by the solution are its most valuable features. It also offers good information protection."
"The solution is very easy to use, especially the cloud version which is very, very simple. There are some good templates already built-in, so we can just select the template, and you will get all the necessary functionality. The only one thing you have to do is point all your traffic in the cloud."
"This is a stable, scalable product that provides a reliable email protection layer."
"The filtering aspect is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the URL relay protection because it protects users from phishing attacks."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"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."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"Malware needs improvement."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
"There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users."
"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."
"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results."
