We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have.""The product is not resource-intensive.""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.""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.""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.""Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises.""The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple.""Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."

"The encryption features are most valuable to us.""The deployment is simple.""This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes.""The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products.""The implementation was very professional. There are a lot of features I can get through Fortinet and FortiMail, such as security. FortiGuard is the most reliable and professional mitigation center to handle incidents and risk that I have to face.""It has the best feature for processed mail analysis.""The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing.""This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators."

Cons
"We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better.""Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically.""Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab.""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.""The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved.""The UI needs to be more user-friendly.""This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find.""I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway.""I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test.""Its GUI needs improvement.""The dashboard could use improvement.""I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process.""Email sorting is missing from this solution.""This solution is slow and it should be made faster."

"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."
