Layered email security has protected sensitive research and still flags phishing in real time
The valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) include providing an additional layer of protection, as it builds on the basic Exchange level of security that allows us to get our work done. Another feature I appreciate is the ability to question things, as our Exchange server allows us to identify in real-time if an email is a phishing email or spam email. It really helps us identify risks, especially through our external exchanges via email or through our cloud-based platforms. Our Exchange system blocks any embedded AI from all our applications and products, so we cannot use embedded AI in our daily work from our official laptops because we have secure information. The system is quite locked down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
"The simplicity and the easy deployment ensure that anybody who has worked on Exchange can easily work on this."
"The valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) include providing an additional layer of protection, as it builds on the basic Exchange level of security that allows us to get our work done."
"In general, my company is happy with Microsoft support...My company hasn't faced any stability issues with the solution."
"It's definitely scalable."
"The product's most valuable feature is third-party integrations."
"Overall, I think it's really a great product."
"Online Protection's most valuable feature is its admin interface."
"The initial setup is just a standard process."
 

Cons

"Its pricing could be affordable."
"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
"Microsoft 365 Defender and EOP policies are stable with the proper license. However, with the basic policy, it's hard to say it's stable due to configuration limitations."
"The user interface of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) has room for improvement, as at times it doesn't make sense where to go to access certain features."
"It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints."
"Not all settings can be configured automatically and most still require manual configuration. However, there is an automation tool available that can be used to input all the configurations either as a script or a tool it would be helpful."
"When you're using a Microsoft product solution, you can scale it, but if you're not, there are limitations."
"It wasn't easy or intuitive enough for me to start using it. So, the reason was that the solution changed."
"The security compliance features need to be improved. Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well."
"It would be helpful for customers if Plan 1 features were included with EOP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a six. For licensing, we can make monthly or yearly payments. Right now, we pay 5 USD per month to secure a person's license."
"The solution is expensive but is backed by Microsoft's reputation."
"The product's pricing is competitive for the US market."
"The product is expensive."
"Apart from the license fee for the solution, there are no additional costs."
"The product is bundled with Microsoft 365."
"It's a high price."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable."
