Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"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."
"Forcepoint Email Security is a good solution, and I don't have any issues with it. I found anti-spam and anti-spyware the most valuable features of Forcepoint Email Security."
"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 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."
"The feature I find most valuable is the web, email and DLP integration."
"The most valuable features of Forcepoint Email Security are the integration with other solutions. It provides a more secure infrastructure and views for the customers from the DLP. You can work on URLs, files, and advanced inspections that will protect the customers."
"The email and the web filter aspects of the solution are the most valuable features."
"This is a reasonably stable solution."
"I like how versatile the options are. For example, we can set it where we are able to access and browse Facebook but we are denied the ability to post photos. There is also that ability integrate with Office 365 - SharePoint app."
"It is an easy solution."
"It provides security to both on-premises and Azure infrastructures."
"We use the solution to receive emails. We do not use the calendar function as our clients are slow adaptors to the latest 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."
"In general, my company is happy with Microsoft support...My company hasn't faced any stability issues with the solution."
"Microsoft EOP's most valuable feature is a shared mailbox."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection are the EOP, ATP, safe links, fishing, and antispam."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing could always be just a little bit better."
"We've fixed a couple of issues on the solution so far. It doesn't work perfectly all the time."
"Forcepoint is the best for DLP, but it is not better than other solutions in terms of phishing emails or threat protections on the email. It has less visibility over there. They might need to enhance these components because other solutions, such as Cisco Email Security and IronPort, have more advanced features. Forcepoint should focus more on threats and spam. They have a small database for spam. They must increase their solution's capability from this perspective."
"The reporting functionality needs to be improved, as it is not customizable."
"Forcepoint Email Security is stable, but it could be improved."
"I would like for deployment to be simplified."
"It's quite difficult to learn this solution, it's not an entry level product. If you are a skilled user you will think it's a very useful tool, but if you are not a skilled user, you'll think it is very difficult to learn."
"I would like to see some improvement like cloud application and integration capabilities and the classification part is missing from the DLP."
"Our company faces difficulty with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) because it's too big, clunky, and difficult for a small client to implement quickly and easily."
"The tool's classification for bulk email is cumbersome."
"Having orchestration features added to Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, particularly automation and remediation, would be quite useful."
"It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints."
"The solution can be complex at times. It would be nice to have the on-server version. It needs to improve the stability as well."
"Some features, like encryption, are not available."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"The solution must improve the user experience."
