Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) Reviews

Microsoft Exchange Online Protection has features like DLP (data loss protection), Safe Attachment, and Safe Links. Also, it has a Litigation Hold feature that is useful for email protection in cases where emails are deleted because of mishandling.

If you want extensive email security, you need to purchase a Plan 2 license. Plan 1 and Plan 2 are the two plans for Microsoft Exchange Online Protection. Some customers hesitate to purchase this product because it adds some costs to them, which is necessary for them. It would be helpful for customers if Plan 1 features were included with EOP. However, they still need to purchase Plan 2 for advanced security features.

One of our clients recently requested to compare Zimbra's features with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection. Zimbra is open source, while Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is not. When I compare both the products, many free features are available in Zimbra because it is open-source software.

It makes no sense to request Microsoft Exchange Online Protection add all the features people get on open-source software like Zimbra. Hence, I would say whatever features Microsoft Exchange Online Protection has are enough. Microsoft has a dedicated research team that should research and add new techniques like phishing and spamming solutions to the product.

We primarily use the solution for security.

The solution is user-friendly.

It's easy to deploy. There are not many hassles throughout the process. Anybody can just read up on it and deploy it. 

It's all running in the backend, so it doesn't affect the app functionality.

The dashboard is very simple. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale. 

The main use case is to block suspicious links in emails. 

However, some functionalities like SIPP attachment are not available in the basic EOP. Alos, complete phishing protection is also not available in EOP. 

That's why we are considering Check Point's dedicated email security solution, which offers these functionalities, although we haven't started using it yet.

EOP handles an increase in spam or phishing attacks in our organization.

We've configured the provided policies for anti-phishing, anti-spam, and anti-malware through Microsoft Office 365 Defender. However, these policies have their limitations, leading to a significant number of spam emails and malware attachments getting through to our organization.

The current features provided by Microsoft don't offer a complete solution. We have to configure each policy we have access to with our business standard license. However, we're still receiving a lot of phishing emails, indicating the product isn't working as expected unless we purchase a higher, dedicated license.

We deploy the solution as a part of the Microsoft 365 suite. We are a security provider. We deploy Microsoft Exchange Online Protection for clients who purchase Microsoft 365 so that the spam and links are screened for security purposes. We manage the Microsoft 365 suite for our customers. We track the flagged emails.

The product protects against malware. The tool stops phishing attacks and moves them to quarantine. We are happy with the solution.

I use the tools to protect customers' emails, mostly utilizing Defender products to protect emails and links from SharePoint and email spam protection and links.

It is easy to read the logs and retrieve data from quarantines, which all functions well. The security features provided by Microsoft are robust.

We use the solution to ensure that our assets on the cloud are highly secure.

The product is very easy to deploy. We can migrate seamlessly without any disruptions to our operations. The dashboard is very easy to use for new learners and professionals.

We are using Microsoft Exchange Online Protection for all our customers. Microsoft doesn't give you a preconfigured solution like other vendors. Microsoft has come out of that plug-and-play concept, and for every product, you need to reconfigure and fine-tune it according to your needs.

With Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, if malware is attached to a mailer, it's very easy to go into the incident alert and find out what's happening with that identity and the mail.

Our company uses the solution to provide customers with threat management. We group emails or policies from DLP, configure them, and resolve alerts. 

Customers have multiple teams who are responsible for managing the solution's features. For example, a customer might have security and DevOps teams with an engineering team just to manage email. Across all management teams, there might be up to fifty users. Companywide, the solution is used by every employee because it is associated with email. 

The threat management feature includes policies and alerts that are valuable.
