"The deployment capability is a great feature."

"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats.

"Although the number of AV engines is good, it could be better."
"The DLP should be upgraded and has room for improvement."

"The only negative thing about Trend Micro Email Security is its price. It could be less expensive."
"In our company, we found out that the solution wasn't well-tested by Trend Micro, resulting in a performance and bandwidth problem."
