File-sharing options and ease of collaboration or meetings allow for quick collaborations and chats
I work in my company's IT department, so I use all of the products under Office 365 daily, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Teams, and all the other components in the product. My company can't make it through a day or go by without using the products offered under Office 365. Some of our manufacturing workers may use Office 365 a lot less, but it is still necessary for things like Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. I found Microsoft Teams to be the most valuable feature of the solution, along with all of the products and features offered under Office 365. My organization has remote workers, and we can't run the company without meetings organized with the help of Microsoft Teams.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"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."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"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."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"It does a good job of ensuring users are not compromised via email."
"Trend Micro constantly releases new versions and patches based on evolving needs."
"The interface is really good."
"The best features are that it is very convenient to configure new rules onto it and it gives very good insight on what has entered my system and what the email security solution has taken action upon."
"The solution's initial setup process was easy since it was deployed on the cloud."
"Trend Micro Email Security scans all email attachments because, nowadays, ransomware or malware files are sent through email attachments."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable features include email filtering to block spam and phishing attempts, the use of DMARC for email authentication, and robust malware scanning."
"The solution provides protection with its Email Track Records and Machine Manual features."
"The technical support services are excellent."
 

Cons

"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in threat detection, especially for advanced attacks and business email compromise."
"I rate Trend Micro support four out of 10. The support in our region isn't very good. They do not respond quickly when we open up a case."
"Trend Micro Email Security should introduce new features, improvements, and updates which are cost-effective and easy to deploy."
"The capacity handling and the scalability of the solution need to be improved since I feel Trend Micro lacks in such areas."
"While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."
"The only negative thing about Trend Micro Email Security is its price. It could be less expensive."
"I would like to see more integration of Trend Micro Email Security with different platforms."
"In our company, we found out that the solution wasn't well-tested by Trend Micro, resulting in a performance and bandwidth problem."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The product's pricing could be more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From the pricing point of view, like any other product in the market, there is scope for negotiation."
"The pricing has become expensive."
"I know that the product is incredibly expensive."
"The license is expensive because the cost is based on the number of users."
"It is much more expensive than using another solution because we have had to include some options and upgrade our license."
"The solution saves money so we have seen a return on investment."
"For large enterprise organizations, they can definitely afford it, but for small and medium organizations, they might struggle to cover the expenses."
"The solution could be better by simplifying the business model of their licensing. It was hard to figure out how to get the licensing done for the environment, initially."
"The price is more accessible compared to some other solutions, like FortiMail. It offers excellent value for the price."
"The price of Trend Micro Email Security is more than Sophos' similar solution."
"Trend Micro Email Security's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of Trend Micro Email Security is annual. There are no additional fees."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a one on a scale of one to ten, where ten is expensive. Annual payments are made for the licensing."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The tool must improve its pricing."
"The solution is inexpensive so we recommend it to small to mid-sized businesses."
"Trend Micro is an expensive solution."
"I rate Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security’s pricing a seven out of ten."
