Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The product's scalability is good."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"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 initial setup was easy."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"It's a perfect business pump filter. We have much less false positives, and also less spam than other organizations."
"This is a stable, scalable product that provides a reliable email protection layer."
"The most valuable feature is the URL relay protection because it protects users from phishing attacks."
"The ease of use and the security offered by the solution are its most valuable features. It also offers good information protection."
"The filtering aspect is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The interface makes it really easy to administer and configure."
"The solution is very easy to use, especially the cloud version which is very, very simple. There are some good templates already built-in, so we can just select the template, and you will get all the necessary functionality. The only one thing you have to do is point all your traffic in the cloud."
"Email encryption, because it fulfills our business needs."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"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."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
"There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."
"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results."
