Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises.""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.""The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution.""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.""Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links.""I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface.""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 best part is, I rarely have to access the portal as everything is set up and tweaked the way I wanted it. But the feature set is incredibly granular and allows for deep levels of customization.""Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is an easy-to-use solution.""I have a lot of control over spam and phishing emails."

Cons
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot.""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.""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.""The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved.""The UI needs to be more user-friendly.""The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect.""The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."

"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality.""Malware needs improvement."

More Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway Cons →

"The pricing is a little high compared to other products.""I guess I would say maybe quick access to training material for end-users. I know partners have access to this but I as an end-user do not have immediate access to new update information.""The solution’s pricing is not reasonable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's a user-base subscription."

  • "For licensing, it's usually a yearly package for customers who are subscribed to Office 365, but they can also pay on a monthly basis."
  • "Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is an add-on to the Office license. Many customers are purchasing this solution."
