We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiMail and Trellix Collaboration Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"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."
"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."
"Our customers are satisfied with Defender for 365 because Microsoft products are easy to use and customize to meet the client's needs. Everything is in one place, so we can adjust policies as needed for phishing, DLP, ATP, or any other security features that our clients want to apply."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"It actually filters the compromised emails when on a network layer itself."
"The antiphishing capabilities are very good."
"FortiMail possesses notable strengths, and one key feature is its store-and-forward concept."
"Troubleshooting is very simple because you can see where the email was not delivered and why it would be considered as spam."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its interface, allowing users to get around the solution easily. The integration capabilities in the solution are also very easy."
"Fortinet FortiMail's most valuable features are antispam, antivirus, database, and data loss prevention (DLP)."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are that it protects us from spam and phishing attacks. We had a lot of attacks coming in and then we deployed this solution and they stopped. We no longer have any spam or phishing issues."
"A full-featured email gateway solution that contains security threats reliably."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"We have had very good results from the use of FireEye Email Security. We are very comfortable with this technology, but I don't know if it's necessary to move into the cloud, we will check other technologies and study them. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
"The initial setup is simple."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"The product protects my email."
"FireEye is good for malware depicting and security."
"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
"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."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"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 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 should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"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."
"High Availability needs improvement."
"Online support sometimes takes up to a week to get back to you."
"I believe there is room for enhancement in content and web security features."
"It would be nice if we could manage the solution from the cloud so I could handle things off-site if necessary."
"The solution could improve by making the UI more user-friendly and increasing spam and threat detection capabilities."
"The solution lacks to provide more visibility when there is a problem, and it needs to be tracked."
"Sometimes it takes a little bit too long to determine if an email is good or not. If they could shorten that time span, it'd be so much better. It does delay our email, which does not make users happy. That said, I would have to say we have not been blacklisted for quite a while now."
"The solution is user-friendly to a degree but the dashboard needs improvement."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"The solution needs better support."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
