Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."

"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."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better.

They have a small database for spam. They must increase their solution's capability from this perspective."
"An area for improvement in Forcepoint Email Security is technical support. The agents need to be more knowledgeable. The support also needs to be faster."
"Technical support is lacking. It could be a lot better."
"The pricing could always be just a little bit better."
