Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"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."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"It's a perfect business pump filter. We have much less false positives, and also less spam than other organizations."
"The interface makes it really easy to administer and configure."
"The most valuable feature is the URL relay protection because it protects users from phishing attacks."
"The filtering aspect is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Email encryption, because it fulfills our business needs."
"The ease of use and the security offered by the solution are its most valuable features. It also offers good information protection."
"This is a stable, scalable product that provides a reliable email protection layer."
"The solution is very easy to use, especially the cloud version which is very, very simple. There are some good templates already built-in, so we can just select the template, and you will get all the necessary functionality. The only one thing you have to do is point all your traffic in the cloud."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"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."
"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."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly. I don't want to have to go to my IT guy and have him explain aspects of the solution to me. There should be a way for them to be able to translate aspects of the product to a typical user in a clear concise way."
"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
"There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."
"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
