We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning.""Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack.""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.""It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself.""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.""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.""At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us.""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 solution's initial setup process was easy since it was deployed on the cloud.""It is mostly stable.""The initial setup is not overly complex.""It does a good job of ensuring users are not compromised via email.""Trend Micro Email Security is a robust solution with quick performance. It works autonomously without the need for an administrator.""The interface is really good.""The technical support is good.""Since implementing it, we've seen a significant improvement in security. We no longer receive spam emails, and we're protected from various cyberattacks, including ransomware and social engineering."

Cons
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way.""Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites.""We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email.""There is room for improvement in terms of reporting.""The custom alerts have to improve a lot.""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.""They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are.""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."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

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

More Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway Cons →

"Trend Micro Email Security should introduce new features, improvements, and updates which are cost-effective and easy to deploy.""The enterprise security feature needs improvement.""The initial setup was straightforward. This is a virtual appliance, it takes a short time to deploy the solution. However, it is not difficult if you understand the technology. You must have good knowledge of the email security area to set up the product correctly. There are many features in this solution and a high risk of having mistakes with the configuration.""Trend Micro Email Security could improve by advancing its artificial intelligence in email security. There are rules that have to be configured. There should be less configuring.""There is a lot of room for improvement towards the phishing kind of email filtering, with the different hijacking attacks, and with the kind of password attacks which these phisher attackers do.""The patch management could improve in Trend Micro Email Security.""There needs to be more documentation for the product.""I rate Trend Micro support four out of 10. The support in our region isn't very good. They do not respond quickly when we open up a case."
