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."
"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."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"The integration with FortiSandbox is good, and something that we utilize often."
"It can block a lot of fake emails."
"The spam filtering is great."
"A full-featured email gateway solution that contains security threats reliably."
"Clean user interface and good sandbox."
"The solution is very reliable and very stable."
"Troubleshooting is very simple because you can see where the email was not delivered and why it would be considered as spam."
"Technical support is great. They are able to look at their patches and offer quick responses. We even have an account manager in the Middle East. They are very good."
"It's a perfect business pump filter. We have much less false positives, and also less spam than other organizations."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"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."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"In the Latin America market, some spam messages use Portuguese language. Some clearly spam messages would be better identified by the anti-spam if not for the language."
"The only drawback to this solution is that the firmware is frequently updated, and each update results in downtime."
"The solution lacks to provide more visibility when there is a problem, and it needs to be tracked."
"Online support sometimes takes up to a week to get back to you."
"The product could incorporate even more artificial intelligence to enhance the functionality, but it is a competetive and intelligent product as it."
"The biggest room for improvement would be the deployment. It will be hard for someone who doesn't understand the interface to deploy. If you understand it, you can find your way around the problems."
"It can be easier to configure or connect to the cloud to report on the attachments."
"I think they need to look into it and improve their signatures. This will help with blocking incoming spam emails."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly. I don't want to have to go to my IT guy and have him explain aspects of the solution to me. There should be a way for them to be able to translate aspects of the product to a typical user in a clear concise way."
