Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"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."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"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 solution can scale."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."

"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"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."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"I like its reporting."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation."
"The tool is pretty stable."

"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."

"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."

"I would like to see improvements made so that we can better see all of the processes."
