Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"The feature I found most valuable was getting details on the emails, being alerted once those emails got a bad reputation, and then being able to take action on those emails."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"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."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"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."
"This solution needs to improve the area of GUI as well as dashboards because they are very poor in terms of the current email security solution."
