Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"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."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"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 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."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The best part is, I rarely have to access the portal as everything is set up and tweaked the way I wanted it. But the feature set is incredibly granular and allows for deep levels of customization."
"I have a lot of control over spam and phishing emails."
"Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is an easy-to-use solution."
"There are no wasted extras and the interface is really simple."
"The most valuable features are the anti-spam, anti-phishing, anti-virus, and anti-spoofing."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Beside a few issues with specificity in the email protection controls, this product is very good at handling email security."
"This solution provides very good email security that protects us against spamming and malware."
"The product is easy to manage in terms of configurations."
"Setup was easy. It took about 30 minutes."
"According to our customers, the product's most valuable feature is the ability to detect spam and reduce phishing emails."
"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."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"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."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"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."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"I guess I would say maybe quick access to training material for end-users. I know partners have access to this but I as an end-user do not have immediate access to new update information."
"The pricing is a little high compared to other products."
"The solution’s pricing is not reasonable."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"They should integrate the solution with third-party platforms."
"The technical support from the company is not always very good at solving issues, but they offer access to a good community of users where problems are easily solved."
"There could be definition updates included in the subscription."
"A lot of spoofed emails are still coming to the end-user, so the configuration for this option needs to be improved."
"The protection level for email security isn't 100%. I'm still getting some spam and junk mail."
"We would like to see more information on a dashboard about what is happening when it comes to spamming and malware."
"SonicWall Email Security could improve by making the file blocking and the release feature easier to use"
