Amber Worth - PeerSpot reviewer
Retrieves data from quarantines and easy to read logs with robust security features
Some of the searchability when looking for specifics in Exchange logs is tedious. Although eventually the information is located, it can be difficult if detailed information is lacking. Improving the search process by allowing searches with different types of parameters and facilitating searches within emails would be advantageous. Simplifying interfaces would also be appreciated.
Shruti Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatically protects any files placed within a designated folder, simplifying data protection and ensure continuous data control
The hot folder feature is the most valuable feature of Seclore for safeguarding communications. For example, if an unauthorized user gets access to a file, you can remove their access even if they've forwarded it to someone else. The hot folder feature creates a parent folder that automatically protects any files placed within it. Additionally, when policies are created for third-party applications, files downloaded from them are automatically protected. For instance, pharmaceutical companies generate many files from third-party applications, and Seclore can automatically protect them.

Pros

Cons

"It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints."
"The security compliance features need to be improved. Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well."
"Our company faces difficulty with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) because it's too big, clunky, and difficult for a small client to implement quickly and easily."
"Having orchestration features added to Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, particularly automation and remediation, would be quite useful."
"When you're using a Microsoft product solution, you can scale it, but if you're not, there are limitations."
"The tool's classification for bulk email is cumbersome."
"The tool is not 100% stable."

"In future releases, I would like to see new features or more connectors for specific applications."

"The product's pricing is competitive for the US market."
"The pricing for the solution depends on what you are trying to achieve with the use of the product, but I know that it is not a cheaply priced product. Yearly payments have to be made towards the licensing fees of the solution."
