Pros
"The product's scalability is good.""Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises.""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 two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient.""At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us.""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 most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy.""We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."

More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Pros →

"The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it.""You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution.""The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup.""The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities."

Cons
"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.""One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive.""The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect.""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 room for improvement with the UI.""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.""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."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined.""It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."

More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Cons →

"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't.""Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on.""The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement.""Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users.""The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license."
