Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."

Cons
"The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included.""I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way.""Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once.""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.""Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better.""The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved.""Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically.""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."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

More SonicWall Email Security Cons →

"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features.""The spam detection feature could be better.""I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed.""The solution needs better support.""Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox.""I would like to see this solution become more flexible.""The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier.""FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."

    With Microsoft Defender for Office 365, organizations can safeguard their email communication by detecting and blocking malicious links, attachments, and unsafe email content.

Additionally, it provides advanced threat-hunting capabilities, allowing security teams to proactively investigate and respond to potential threats.

    Microsoft Defender for Office 365 goes beyond email protection and extends its security features to other collaboration tools like SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

With innovative protection techniques for both inbound and outbound email plus unique management tools, the Email Security platform delivers superior email protection today while standing ready to stop the new attacks of tomorrow.

    Trellix Collaboration Security is a comprehensive solution designed to protect sensitive data and ensure secure collaboration within organizations. With the increasing reliance on digital platforms for communication and collaboration, it is crucial to have robust security measures in place. Trellix Collaboration Security offers a range of features to safeguard data and prevent unauthorized access.

    One of the key features of Trellix Collaboration Security is its advanced encryption capabilities. All data transmitted and stored within the platform is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms, ensuring that it remains secure and protected from potential threats. This encryption extends to all communication channels, including emails, file transfers, and instant messaging, providing end-to-end security.

    In addition to encryption and multi-factor authentication, Trellix Collaboration Security offers robust access controls. Administrators can define and enforce granular access permissions, ensuring that only authorized individuals can view, edit, or share specific documents or folders. This helps prevent data leakage and ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to those who need it.

Administrators can track user activities, monitor file transfers, and generate detailed reports to identify any suspicious or unauthorized behavior. This proactive approach allows organizations to quickly detect and respond to potential security breaches, minimizing the impact on data integrity and confidentiality.
