Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."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 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."
"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 solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"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."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"It's a very complex platform."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"They could improve the UI."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
