Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"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."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"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."
"The program has reduced the dangers related to phishing, malware, ransomware, and other vulnerabilities."
"Easy to use for non-technical users."
"Avanan is a stable software. My company hasn't faced any issues, bugs, or problems with the performance of Avanan."
"The customizable rules allow you to change aspects."
"I like Avanan's SmartDLP module. It's seamless, and the administrative overhead is low. We aren't a very sophisticated operation. We just want to reduce our exposure, so we find ThreatCloud helpful. Avanan's acquisition by Check Point was beneficial for them."
"The threat detection tools enable us to ascertain malware and phishing messages across the email network infrastructure."
"Email encryption enhances end to end security of any data before it passes through the networking system."
"Spam protection is the most valuable feature."
"Netskope's control is user-friendly and comprehensible. It also helps in conveying information effectively as a company, making it crucial for customer satisfaction."
"Netskope has a diverse portfolio range, which includes cloud access security brokers, content filtering, behavior analytics, and security management."
"Amazing reporting and tracking mechanisms."
"A very straightforward interface."
"The initial setup of Netskope CASB is easy, it is not complex."
"Netskope is a really good product. I cannot segregate which features are the most valuable. We find most of the features to be valuable. It gives us what we are looking for."
"Technical support is good. They are very helpful and quick to resolve any issues we have."
"It has hundreds of features and many of them are useful."
"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 need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"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."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email."
"There are times when we have false positives."
"Being cloud first and because we are in the movie business, we use a lot of Macintoshes. So, there is absolutely no reason for us to have Active Directory whatsoever. However, if you are using Office 365, you must have Active Directory in order to reset passwords. Even though we have a single sign-on provider, we must have Azure Active Directory for Office 365, which is really stupid. As a cloud application, you would think that I don't need Active Directory, which I don't need for anything else except Office 365. We have one server inside that space to help us manage Active Directory just for Office 365. This is a very sore point, but it is what it is."
"The user experience must be improved."
"The system response in a slow computing device affects performance when sending and receiving emails."
"It should also offer a quick backup in case any email is wrongly quarantined or deleted to ensure no data loss."
"It should reduce the amount of time needed for thorough scanning."
"Integration with various SaaS offerings, who are leading in the SaaS market."
"Avanan doesn't cover certain tool segments."
"Deployment and policy tweaking were two areas where improvement needs to be made."
"The solution's implementations can be made much easier because, currently, it is complex in nature."
"It should have user behavior analysis and diverse analysis."
"There should be some granular custom roles that are not available. However, this is on the road map. There are many devices that do not have the Zero Trust feature and other enhancements available which they should have."
"It needed some fine-tuning on core business sites that we used, which were sensitive to what we term a man-in-the-middle certificate by design. Some sites were not tolerant because they presented as potentially malicious. So, we just had to make some tweaks so that it would bypass or interpret it."
"Netskope needs to improve its stability."
"There could be room for improvement in the subscription process."
"They could improve their mobile agents as they have some limitations."
