Cons

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.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats.

"They offer a feature called SmartLink neutralization. I have tried it before. It seemed to work most of the time; however, I had a few users for whom it just wouldn't work. Whenever they click on a link, it stays on the MetaDefender page, saying that it's scanning it and never moves forward.""The DLP should be upgraded and has room for improvement.""Although the number of AV engines is good, it could be better."
