Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"The initial setup was easy."
"It's a very stable product."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"It has helped the organization to detect any malware affecting the machines...The network monitoring and the email monitoring features are very valuable for us."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"The ability to appropriately prioritize vulnerabilities inside the environment, and then to have visibility into the traffic and rule sets of an organization, are two of the top capabilities that I recommend. Skybox is the only one that does both of those in a single platform."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"The most valuable feature is the compliance, whether it's access compliance or the configuration compliance, to make sure that all of our devices are configured as they're supposed to be, to limit access as much possible, to follow least-access guidelines."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"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."
"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."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"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."
"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 GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
