We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's scalability is good.""The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not.""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.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links.""Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency.""The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance.""The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."

"Unlike other competitors, it doesn't cause any performance issues.""It's easier to deploy than other options.""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.""This is a reasonably stable solution.""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.""All of the filtering features are very nice.""The email and the web filter aspects of the solution are the most valuable features.""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."

More Vade for M365 Pros →

Cons
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly.""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.""Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites.""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.""We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required.""This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products.""The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."

"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.""The pricing could always be just a little bit better.""I would like to see some improvement like cloud application and integration capabilities and the classification part is missing from the DLP.""Technical support is lacking. It could be a lot better.""Forcepoint Email Security is stable, but it could be improved.""The reporting functionality needs to be improved, as it is not customizable.""We've fixed a couple of issues on the solution so far. It doesn't work perfectly all the time.""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."

More Forcepoint Email Security [EOL] Cons →

"Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product."
