"Our customers are satisfied with Defender for 365 because Microsoft products are easy to use and customize to meet the client's needs. Everything is in one place, so we can adjust policies as needed for phishing, DLP, ATP, or any other security features that our clients want to apply."
"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."
"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."

"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"I like all the features with Proofpoint, such as how it filters the spam and marketing mail, lost reality mail, blocks phishing attacks, blocks malicious attachments, and stops phishing links. Also it can defend against the business email compromise impersonation technique. It is a complete solution for all email attacks. It filters for the bad, malicious attachments. If there is any executable file, it can be deleted. It is a good, complete solution."
"The most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection are the performance from being on the cloud."
"They have customized security rules, mature rules, anti-virus protection, as well as email authentication similar to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC."
"Proofpoint is the main tool for blocking spam because it denies the connection altogether."
"Its anti-phishing functionality is the most valuable. Certainly, the biggest problem I have is phishing."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the business email compromise protection and targeted attack prevention."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to remove bad messages that were delivered, prior to being classified as unwanted."
"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"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."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"The price could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in detecting and preventing phishing attacks. While the solution performs well in some aspects, it struggles with phishing threats."
"The largest complaint that we hear from our customers is that there is no local support."
"Sometimes it detects false positives."
"The Secure Mail aspect should have an Outlook add-in, instead of an external dashboard that outside users have to access."
"The email DLP portion could be a bit easier."
"The solution's server console and cluster dashboard have been the same for four years so need to be upgraded."
"The incident reporting on offer needs to be improved. It's lacking right now. It should be on the platform somewhere."
"Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product."
