Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"The Forcepoint Email Security roadmap easily integrates with the data loss prevention (DLP) suite of Forcepoint. Therefore, the customer doesn't have to buy another solution for DLP."
"It's easier to deploy than other options."
"We have found the product to be stable."
"The email and the web filter aspects of the solution are the most valuable features."
"Unlike other competitors, it doesn't cause any performance issues."
"The filtering of the solution is very good. You can do URL filtering and, while you need a custom URL to filter under other solutions like Symantec, here the solution covers most categories and the database."
"It is good at data leakage prevention (DLP). You can create the data exfiltration profile while sending the emails, which is one of the key advantages of the solution."
"The feature I find most valuable is the web, email and DLP integration."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection are the EOP, ATP, safe links, fishing, and antispam."
"The pre-set policies and configuration analyzer are the most valuable features."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of administration. Other solutions require complex administration, but Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is easier."
"The initial setup was easy. The configuration process is very straightforward."
"It is easy to configure, easy to use, easy to add exclusions, easy to track, and easy to add anything else if you want."
"Microsoft EOP's most valuable feature is a shared mailbox."
"With Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, if malware is attached to a mailer, it's very easy to go into the incident alert and find out what's happening with that identity and the mail."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"We've fixed a couple of issues on the solution so far. It doesn't work perfectly all the time."
"I would like to see some improvement like cloud application and integration capabilities and the classification part is missing from the DLP."
"It would be better if it were simpler to deploy on one or two machines instead of three or four machines."
"Forcepoint Email Security is stable, but it could be improved."
"Customer support could be better."
"The reporting functionality needs to be improved, as it is not customizable."
"The pricing could always be just a little bit better."
"This solution could be improved by providing further functionality to reduce or to block ransom attacks, cross-site scripting and man-in-the-middle attacks."
"It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints."
"When you're using a Microsoft product solution, you can scale it, but if you're not, there are limitations."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"The solution lacks to elaborate on its spam policies."
"The product could be more stable. Microsoft products could be more stable because sometimes, even though they are updating some things, we cannot find those updates."
"The security compliance features need to be improved. Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well."
"Performance and speed should continue to be improved."
"The security features could be better."
