"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"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."
"It's easy to use and user-friendly. Users can also easily release spam emails."
"They are very easy to use."
"The solution's stability is very, very good. I didn't face any problems in the last year."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of administration. Other solutions require complex administration, but Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is easier."

"It offers great security against malware and other threats."
"The solution uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, so you don't need train it to detect something. The detection and response times are short. It's an excellent product."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"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."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"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."
"Email security checks contain a small number of false positives."
"It needs to make sure that the application is up to date with new attacks. They should also send us the demo or introductions for their new incoming features."
"Not all settings can be configured automatically and most still require manual configuration. However, there is an automation tool available that can be used to input all the configurations either as a script or a tool it would be helpful."
"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."
"When you're using a Microsoft product solution, you can scale it, but if you're not, there are limitations."
"We have experienced issues while migrating from on-prem to the cloud. The tool needs to improve its stability."
"The tool is not 100% stable."
"The reporting needs a little bit of improvement."
