Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"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."
"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 deployment capability is a great feature."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"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."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"A stable solution."
"URL inspection works pretty well."
"We like Mimecast's spam filtering. The email signature feature is also a big plus for our users."
"It does a good job for us, and its admin console is easy to use."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"The product's most valuable features are impersonation protection and phishing countermeasures."
"The solution offers good technical support."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"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 XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"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."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The filtering needs more flexibility."
"Their support should be improved. They are notorious for sending you to knowledge-based articles rather than actually talking to you, but that is, unfortunately, kind of becoming a trend with everything. In terms of features, I haven't had any complaints. However, I don't like the fact they moved to a paid training subscription model. They used to have a lot of free webinars for training, but they have started to charge for them in the past year."
"They should improve the cookies management feature."
"As a user, the user interface of the management console could be upgraded, for example."
"Lately, Mimecast's outbound mail servers have been regularly blocklisted by spam filters. That didn't happen a few years back, but it seems to be a more frequent problem these days. When a server is blocklisted, it means all of my outgoing mail ends up in the recipient's junk mail. That affects my reputation and business confidence."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
