Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"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."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"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."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"It has helped the organization to detect any malware affecting the machines...The network monitoring and the email monitoring features are very valuable for us."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"I like the dashboards, which are cool. They are more user-friendly, in my experience. Its learning capabilities are really good."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"Kaspersky protects our company from ransomware attacks. We have multiple sites across the country, including the principal headquarters and different towns. We can see any viruses that are in the network and take action."
"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."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"It's a very complex platform."
"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."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"Darktrace is a closed technology, meaning we know very little about how it works, including the architecture, which is significant. As a result, when we implement the system and find we're getting many false positives, we have minimal insight into why it's happening and what we can do to fix it. We don't know how the solution is configured, the criteria for threats to be determined, or the product's inner workings. We understand that they have to ensure privacy and their copyright, but we want to see some documentation or public research into the security Darktrace provides."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"The stability could be better."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
