Best things are Effective Threat Detection and Real-time Protection.

When it comes to real-time protection, MDO operates in real-time. It constantly scans incoming & outgoing emails to identify and quarantine potential threats before they reach your inbox. This approach reduces the damage risk to the organization's data and systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Defender for Office 365?

I found the seMDO offers essential security features, but it can lack the granular customization options available in some third-party email security solutions. Like any security software, MDO may occasionally flag legitimate emails as spam that require manual intervention from IT personnel. Also, its advanced features like data loss prevention and post-delivery threat detection require upgrading to higher-tier Office 365 subscriptions.tup process a bit complex initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Defender for Office 365 solving and how is that benefiting you?

MDO prevents phishing scams, malware, spam, and even zero-day attacks. By blocking such emails, MDO helps keep your inbox and information secure. So, eventually, it brings me peace of mind knowing my inbox is protected from malicious attempts to steal data or compromise systems.

Phishing emails are often designed to trick users into clicking malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Thanks to MDO, it helps minimize the impact of human error by automatically filtering out suspicious emails and educating users through phishing simulation training. Ultimately, the reduced risk of falling victim to phishing attacks and protecting my organization from potential security incidents caused by user mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Defender for Office 365 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a total lifesaver when it comes to tackling security threats in our email. One biggie it handles like a champ is phishing. Defender spots them a mile away and gives them the boot before they even think about reaching our inbox. And it's not just phishing – malicious attachments don't stand a chance either. With Defender, they get the ol' one-two and are out of our hair.

What's super beneficial for me is that it's like having an extra set of watchful eyes on our emails 24/7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
