Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. 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."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"The ability to detect activity on the network is very useful to us. Even if it's not necessarily an illegal activity, if it is abnormal activity, it is able to detect it and notify us."
"It is a stable solution."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The initial setup is simple."
"I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The UI is very good."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"It's a very complex platform."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"Its threat analyzer could be better. It should also have agents. They should improve this product by installing agents for the machine to get more visibility. Currently, they are monitoring only the network. They should also monitor the agents from inside. It should also have a better pricing plan because it is an expensive product."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
