"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."

"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The initial setup is simple."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"I have found the automation and AI features to be valuable. If someone were to come in to the office at midnight and log in, Darktrace would flag it."

"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"I don't have any other tools like it, and I always use it when I'm doing a pen test. Metasploit is a great solution for penetration testing,"
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"The solution is open source and has many small targetted penetration tests that have been written by many people that are useful. You can choose different subjects for the test, such as Oracle databases or Apache servers."
"The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."

"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online."
