Pros
"Armorblox is a scalable solution."

More Armorblox Pros →

"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises.""The product's scalability is good.""Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content.""The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat.""The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time.""The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient.""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."

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

More Armorblox Cons →

"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.""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.""Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added.""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.""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.""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.""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."
