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."Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"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."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency."
"For Threat Prevention, I was impressed with this feature and the solution's effectiveness. It has been very good."
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"It helped us to bring security compliance and ensure system robustness throughout."
"The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"It provides visibility of events, what's going on with the environment, what we're missing with our other solution, and the user behavior."
"I appreciate the ease of deployment and the intuitive dashboard. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily understand the dashboard and identify potential threats."
"This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators."
"The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."
"FortiMail Cloud is very fast."
"The encryption features are most valuable to us."
"The deployment is simple."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"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."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"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."
"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 certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"if a phishing email were to get through and bypass the product — which very few do — it would be nice if, when a user clicked on that phishing email, they got a second-chance opportunity, a chance to double-check that they really wanted to proceed to that website."
"At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."
"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find."
"This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."
"I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
