Pros
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable.""The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over.""The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient.""I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat.""The deployment capability is a great feature.""Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats.""Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links.""Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."

"There are no wasted extras and the interface is really simple.""The most valuable feature is that it protects from spam.""The most valuable features are the anti-spam, anti-phishing, anti-virus, and anti-spoofing.""The product is easy to manage in terms of configurations.""It is a very scalable solution.""The anti-spam aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of SonicWall Email Security is the blocking of emails using keywords. If there are any particular keywords in the subject, that we want to block from receiving from a particular person we can do it. Additionally, the blocking of emails is easy. we can release that one and we can block some of the keywords also like that.""Beside a few issues with specificity in the email protection controls, this product is very good at handling email security."

More Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security Pros →

Cons
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive.""The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved.""We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required.""I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way.""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.""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."

More Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Cons →

"There could be definition updates included in the subscription.""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.""A lot of spoofed emails are still coming to the end-user, so the configuration for this option needs to be improved.""The platform's control panel needs enhancement.""The protection level for email security isn't 100%. I'm still getting some spam and junk mail.""SonicWall Email Security could improve by making the file blocking and the release feature easier to use""The reporting needs improvement.""They need well-trained partners in Nigeria."
