"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"It has a clean and clear interface."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"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 email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"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."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."

"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
