Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"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 email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"We like the content filtering and secure messaging features."
"The solution is scalable."
"It does a good job for us, and its admin console is easy to use."
"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"The setup was easy."
"In the current environment that the world is in, everyone is trying to hack everyone else, so Project+ definitely helps a lot there."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"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."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."
"I'd like to have better support from the product in the future."
"The feature that should be included is to remove the block on the encrypted files."
"The solution should include more AI features instead of Mimecast's more general static configuration tooling."
"Their support should be improved. They are notorious for sending you to knowledge-based articles rather than actually talking to you, but that is, unfortunately, kind of becoming a trend with everything. In terms of features, I haven't had any complaints. However, I don't like the fact they moved to a paid training subscription model. They used to have a lot of free webinars for training, but they have started to charge for them in the past year."
"They could provide a unified licensing model, including all the security features."
