Straightforward to set up and has VPN and load-balancing features, but it could be more scalable, and its web center could be better
There's usually no update for 360 Safeguard. The developer doesn't update it a lot. I have two security solutions. One is 360 Safeguard, and the other is Kaspersky Total Security, where I have a Kaspersky server that controls the network. I'd tell small business owners that 360 Safeguard is okay, but it cannot be suitable for a medium or large business with many users. The solution is good, but it cannot control an extensive network. My rating for 360 Safeguard is seven out of ten. It's eighty percent suitable for small businesses, sixty percent for medium businesses, and it cannot be installed for large businesses. That still depends on your requirements, but it's unsuitable if you have a big business.

Layered email security has protected sensitive research and still flags phishing in real time
The valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) include providing an additional layer of protection, as it builds on the basic Exchange level of security that allows us to get our work done. Another feature I appreciate is the ability to question things, as our Exchange server allows us to identify in real-time if an email is a phishing email or spam email. It really helps us identify risks, especially through our external exchanges via email or through our cloud-based platforms. Our Exchange system blocks any embedded AI from all our applications and products, so we cannot use embedded AI in our daily work from our official laptops because we have secure information. The system is quite locked down.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."
"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"It has a really nice web-based administration console."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is used essentially for email filtering, acting as an anti-spam and security product for email."
"The solution's stability is very, very good. I didn't face any problems in the last year."
"Microsoft EOP's most valuable feature is a shared mailbox."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection are the EOP, ATP, safe links, fishing, and antispam."
"It provides security to both on-premises and Azure infrastructures."
"I rate Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) nine out of ten."
"We like the holding facility that is available for potentially suspicious URL's. This allows a real-time review to be performed before the email reaches a users inbox."
 

Cons

"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"The web center in 360 Safeguard could be better, so this is its area for improvement. 360 Safeguard could be more scalable, especially for big businesses."
"We would like the solution to have more in-built intelligence in the way that it reviews potential security risks, rather than our team constantly having to update the policies."
"Performance and speed should continue to be improved."
"When the product is being updated, it changes some of the setups. The support team is also not good."
"Having orchestration features added to Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, particularly automation and remediation, would be quite useful."
"I think the implementation could be more streamlined."
"Some features, like encryption, are not available."
"I would like to get reports about vulnerable connections from our clients with information about domains, public IPs, etc. That would be highly useful."
"The security compliance features need to be improved. Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"The solution is priced high and could be less expensive compared to other solutions."
"The product is expensive."
