Advanced Threat Protection Looking for Reviews

We are looking at possibly adding Advanced Threat Protection. It sounds as though it is free for our students if we add it for our faculty/staff. Does it do a good job of blocking spam, phishing, etc...

    Thanks David. I also think that with the spoof intelligence feature and low false positive quarantine feature I read in another posts, ATP has improved from beginning of last year.

    There is another solution Mimecast that i am evaluating and i find it superior but the cost is also higher (3.5x) compared with Microsoft ATP. I also wondering if having another vendor solution in the middle would make us be hybrid and not officially supported by Microsoft if we ever face an issue with e-mails.

What about E-mail delays? Have you tested average time with ATP with safe attachments ON?

How does the Safe link feature works for you? now that Microsoft rewrites the links and you cannot hover over to see what it is?

 

Thanks,

Javier

Javier,

 

We have not tested average time with ATP set up. I know I have noticed there is a slight delay, but I would say no more than a minute or two extra. As you mentioned, it does change the URL in email messages to a Microsoft site. No issues with that process either.

 

Sorry, I was away from forums for a bit and catching up....
