Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected."
"The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"The setup is very easy. I haven't faced any complexity with the setup of the solution."
"It's very easy to use, and the onboarding process is straightforward."
"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."
"The product is reliable and sturdy."
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis."
"If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important."
"The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"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."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"We are always looking for others tools to increase automation on tasks. There can be better integration with other solutions, such as PowerPoint and email."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"Check Point Infinity Portal sometimes feels a bit slow, and there are performance issues that should be easy to fix."
"The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter."
"A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module."
"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"Stability has been a pain point. I was going back and forth with my product engineer and project manager for a couple of months. I had the product in a demonstration mode and wasn't satisfied with the results initially. After a few alterations and a few revisions later, it is fine."
"They must provide security to more email service providers."
"if a phishing email were to get through and bypass the product — which very few do — it would be nice if, when a user clicked on that phishing email, they got a second-chance opportunity, a chance to double-check that they really wanted to proceed to that website."
"I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"Networking should be simplified."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
