Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."
"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."
"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 deployment capability is a great feature."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiMail is its fully detailed dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's ability to prevent phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiMail has a lot of valuable features. It works great. It also has an antivirus feature. Support for Fortinet FortiMail was also great when my team wanted to block some geographic IPs, but couldn't figure out how to do it. The support team provided clear communication on how to resolve that issue. Another valuable feature of Fortinet FortiMail is SPAM filtering which tells you how many spammy emails you've received. Based on my current use cases, I'm happy with Fortinet FortiMail."
"Clean user interface and good sandbox."
"The number of false positives is minimal."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are that it protects us from spam and phishing attacks. We had a lot of attacks coming in and then we deployed this solution and they stopped. We no longer have any spam or phishing issues."

"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."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"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."
"I don't know if it is possible, but I would like to see Artificial Intelligence and machine learning introduced."
"My customers frequently ask to have detailed documentation for FortiMail and FortiWeb as they have in FortiGate. What they currently have is not enough."
"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."
"Limited ability to upgrade hardware may lead to some performance issues that might otherwise be improved."
"The product should work on licensing and provide more detail once the license is selected for the customer."
"The solution could be improved by providing a virtual machine facility with a complete set of options in the VM setup."
"The infrastructure could be improved."
"Sometimes, authentic emails get blocked by the solution's firewall."
"They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent."
