Allows for easy reporting of problems, valuable anti-phishing, and anti-malware support
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 lacks proactivity in assisting us with preparing for potential threats before they occur. While they employ a substantial amount of threat intelligence to preemptively prevent incidents, their effectiveness diminishes when it comes to delivering proactive threat intelligence alerts from Microsoft. Their focus primarily revolves around managing the internal environment. On the other hand, my other vendor, Check Point, along with my membership in MS-ISAC, supplements me with this type of information. The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement. It is adequate, but it doesn't match the quality of Proofpoint or Mimecast. However, it comes close in effectiveness. Plus, if we're obtaining it for free, investing in the other products seems impractical.
Amey Darekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has an easy implementation phase to deal with for users
I primarily use the product in our daily security operations since it is implemented in all of our company's systems and is used in our environment. Normally, email security tools like FireEye or Trellix help to protect ourselves from spam, malware, and other email-oriented threats. The tool is used extensively in our company's environment. It is more like a collaboration email security that is used in our company. Whether my company plans to increase the number of users of the product or not is something that depends on the growth of the organization. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is stable and reliable, considering the results my company gets out of it. When it comes to Trellix or FireEye Endpoint Security (HX), the tools offer antivirus as well as the modern real-time security feature, which is used to automate the detection and protection of the endpoints against all the security threats that are currently there in the industry. I don't see any challenges with the integration part of the product, but since a different team manages it, I don't have visibility into it. In terms of the value offered by the product, the solution does help our company protect data and the complete infrastructure. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Provides effective filtering for spam, phishing, and suspicious emails
In terms of improvement, reducing false positives would improve the system. If there were fewer false positives, it would be nearly perfect. In the next release, I would like to see improved detection for emails containing only text, especially if they seem suspicious but lack links or attachments. Currently, Trend Micro Email Security is effective with emails containing links or attachments, but those with only text can slip through unnoticed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"It’s easy to handle integrations, and we don't need a lot of people in our IT team."
"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."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"Our customers are satisfied with Defender for 365 because Microsoft products are easy to use and customize to meet the client's needs. Everything is in one place, so we can adjust policies as needed for phishing, DLP, ATP, or any other security features that our clients want to apply."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
"The product protects my email."
"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"The interface is really good."
"Trend Micro Email Security scans all email attachments because, nowadays, ransomware or malware files are sent through email attachments."
"Since implementing it, we've seen a significant improvement in security. We no longer receive spam emails, and we're protected from various cyberattacks, including ransomware and social engineering."
"The solution's most valuable feature is ATP (Advanced Threat Protection), which utilizes the machine learning algorithm."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Email Security is effective phishing prevention."
"Trend Micro Email Security’s most valuable feature is spam filtering."
"The email and the signature based protection is the most valuable feature."
"Trend Micro has inter-domain security features that solutions from other vendors like Forcepoint lack."
 

Cons

"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"Configuration at the mid-level could be improved for the support team."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"The solution needs better support."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"There is a lot of room for improvement towards the phishing kind of email filtering, with the different hijacking attacks, and with the kind of password attacks which these phisher attackers do."
"Trend Micro Email Security can improve on scam detection. It could use AI in this area."
"The product must provide better customization features."
"The enterprise security feature needs improvement."
"The solution's interface, which we get from an admin perspective, sometimes gets confusing."
"While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."
"In our company, we found out that the solution wasn't well-tested by Trend Micro, resulting in a performance and bandwidth problem."
"The tool's dashboard is old."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know that the product is incredibly expensive."
"The pricing is normal. Considering its popularity, it's not overpriced."
"While Microsoft Defender for Office 365 necessitates pricier E3 or E5 subscriptions, the extensive functionality offered by these licenses across various Microsoft products justifies the investment."
"For licensing, it's usually a yearly package for customers who are subscribed to Office 365, but they can also pay on a monthly basis."
"The license is expensive because the cost is based on the number of users."
"It's a user-base subscription."
"Defender is a little bit more expensive as compared to others. We are in the manufacturing environment. So, we don't have a high budget for all of our endpoint devices. Its cost is a major concern for us."
"It is much more expensive than using another solution because we have had to include some options and upgrade our license."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
"The cost is very high."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The price is more accessible compared to some other solutions, like FortiMail. It offers excellent value for the price."
"The tool must improve its pricing."
"The solution's pricing is very optimum, given its quality, features, and stability."
"The solution is inexpensive so we recommend it to small to mid-sized businesses."
"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."
"The cost is about $6,000 for 300 users for one year."
"Trend Micro Email Security is not an expensive solution."
"The price of Trend Micro Email Security is more than Sophos' similar solution."
