Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The product is not resource-intensive."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"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 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 two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"It's a very stable product."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"instead of asking for firewall rules which may or may not be relevant, or could already be there, or could be over-permissioned, Skybox can be used to map out the resources that that application is going to use and provide the exact rules that an application would require to function correctly. If the traffic isn't able to flow for the application, if it's erring out, Skybox can be used to troubleshoot that and say, "All right, where is the traffic being stopped and why, and how do I fix that.""
"Key features for us include the firewall change audit every week. Also, being able to track firewall ACL usage, so that we can produce semiannual reports on ACL usage and shadowed and redundant rules on the firewall."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"We noticed that from time to time, Microsoft's stability does have problems. Sometimes the service goes up and down. Sometimes they change without prior notice."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"It should be easier to access the Darktrace portal and its documentation. Only the customer can access their portal and support. It could be cheaper."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
