Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises.""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.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance.""Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors.""The initial setup was easy.""The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender.""The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."

Cons
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot.""In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement.""About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting.""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 UI needs to be more user-friendly.""Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive.""Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features.""The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."

"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
