We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance.""The initial setup was easy.""There are several features that I consider valuable.""The product is not resource-intensive.""The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender.""The deployment capability is a great feature.""Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."

"Armorblox is a scalable solution."

More Armorblox Pros →

"You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail.""The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities.""The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it.""The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution."

Cons
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails.""Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically.""The product must provide better malware detection.""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 improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment.""Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab.""The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement.""Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"Armorblox lagged in terms of grabbing phishing emails or phishing campaigns."

More Armorblox Cons →

"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't.""Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users.""The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license.""The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement.""Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on."
