Jamie LeClair - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"The product's scalability is good."
"I like its investigation capabilities, as that is what is most important to me. It is fairly simple with a user-friendly interface."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is its spam filter."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is data backups that we can provide through ticket requests."
"The stability of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is fantastic."
"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."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"The product protects my email."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"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."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"FireEye is good for malware depicting and security."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"The integration capability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are spam protection and email continuity."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the antivirus, antispam, and integration with cloud services. This is a multifunctional solution."
"Trend Micro Email Security has a feature for secure protection of OneDrive, Google Drive, and CloudApp security."
"Trend Micro constantly releases new versions and patches based on evolving needs."
"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."
"Trend Micro Email Security scans all email attachments because, nowadays, ransomware or malware files are sent through email attachments."
 

Cons

"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"I am generally satisfied with how it currently is. If I could improve anything, I would reduce the cost."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"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."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"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 solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"The enterprise security feature needs improvement."
"The initial setup was straightforward. This is a virtual appliance, it takes a short time to deploy the solution. However, it is not difficult if you understand the technology. You must have good knowledge of the email security area to set up the product correctly. There are many features in this solution and a high risk of having mistakes with the configuration."
"It is a bit expensive than the market price."
"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."
"The only negative thing about Trend Micro Email Security is its price. It could be less expensive."
"The patch management could improve in Trend Micro Email Security."
"Sometimes malicious email gets past the email gateway."
"There is a limitation when customers are using their email from a third-party solution that isn't from Trend Micro."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is much more expensive than using another solution because we have had to include some options and upgrade our license."
"The product is expensive."

"It's a user-base subscription."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 comes with Microsoft Windows. It is free with the operating system."

"The tool must improve its pricing."
"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."
