Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"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."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"It has helped the organization to detect any malware affecting the machines...The network monitoring and the email monitoring features are very valuable for us."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"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 pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"It should be easier to access the Darktrace portal and its documentation. Only the customer can access their portal and support. It could be cheaper."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"They could improve the UI."
