Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"A stable solution."
"Its administration console is very easy to use. The administration console is absolutely important because you interact with the platform through it."
"The product is good. To date, we have not faced any challenges."
"The solution is scalable."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"What I like about the integration is that it is directly into Microsoft 365, users can use their Microsoft 365 credentials to log into the portal and access their mail."
"Email security is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"We like the content filtering and secure messaging features."
"The interface of this solution is very easy to navigate and user-friendly. There is no delivery in email and other communications, making it reliable. The configuration is relatively easy."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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 support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution's console interface was recently changed for the admins, but the previous one was much better because we could open tabs on it."
"I'd like to have better support from the product in the future."
"While it's quick and easy, the initial setup could be more user-friendly."
"The detection rates are an area for improvement."
"The solution is complex and not easy to use."
"I did have a problem with Mimecast. That is why I was looking for an alternative solution because their sender IP address gets poorly rated by Microsoft."
"Many of our users complain that the system is blocking too many attachments. It's a good practice from a security perspective, but our users think Mimecast is doing too much. It might be something we'll have to adjust."
