Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"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."
"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."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The initial setup is simple."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows us to manage our overall addresses and IT in one location. Many companies are using this solution, it is very popular."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"The solution's user interface is very smooth compared to other products."
"It is a stable solution."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"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."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"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."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"The solution can improve the reporting."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"The solution is expensive."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
