"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."

"It provides visibility of events, what's going on with the environment, what we're missing with our other solution, and the user behavior."
"The solution helps to block spam emails."
"The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent."
"The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
"The feature I find to be most valuable is very much the zero-touch provisioning. I was able to be up, operational, and 100 percent functional in less than a half an hour."
"We need the phishing detection and email quarantine. Once an email is considered malicious, it stays in the quarantine where we can interrogate it. We can check out why it was quarantined and see if it should be delivered to the individual."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"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."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"Mobile solutions should be added to Check Point because business email is also used by users on mobile devices."
"The ease of use with the user interface could be better as it is very static."
"It would be useful to have more logs and in aggregate mode, perhaps through a specific report, that can be more easily used for troubleshooting."
"Installation time could be improved as it takes too long to install."
"One thing which annoys me with the Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is its customer support portal which still lags in service even after so many developments."
"The pattern used to filter emails could be improved"
"If you face any configuration problems, Check Point is the only solution."
"The technical team could improve services by ensuring when there are changes they inform enterprise users of effective upgrades."

"Check Point has to continue refining the intelligence engine to minimize the number of false positives."
"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
