"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email.""The most valuable feature is the view into the application.""The product is very easy to configure.""Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us.

Cons
"The product must provide better malware detection.""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.""We noticed that from time to time, Microsoft's stability does have problems. Sometimes the service goes up and down. Sometimes they change without prior notice.""The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive.""Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"Technical support could be improved.""The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit.""Technical packaging could be improved.""It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning.""It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives.""It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto.""Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard.""Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
