Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment."
"It is fast and has a very simple, easy integration."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
"Check Point's technical support is very good."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"It is very intuitive. It is a point and click type of deal."
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"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."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"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."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"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."
"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 XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"The business team should be further expanded, and more peer feedback should be made available publicly to have better and complete visibility of the application globally."
"They must provide security to more email service providers."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers. Nowadays, most people are working remotely. Therefore, they should include some type of sensors that can be installed on the endpoint in order to directly report the main usage and protect remotely. Phone protection will also be a great feature to add to Darktrace."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
