Advanced Threat Protection Looking for Reviews

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.
anwarmahmood2380We have not made a decision. We are looking at implementing SPF by the end of July which should help. I have not been involved in the conversation of SPF, but from what I am told, it would help with many of the spoofing and issues we are seeing with email.
We did decide to not use ATP from Microsoft. If I recall correctly, it worked, but was pricey. Been a little while, so I do not recall for sure.
It is CND$2.60/user/month and main features to configure are "Safe links" and "safe attachments" where you can build policies. This extends not just Exchange online but also Sharepoint, One Drive and Teams.
We've been using it for more than a year with good results. Keep in mind that user training and other defense in depth approach should be also part of your security strategy.

Javier Urdanivia, good to know. Thank you! I do not recall why we did not go with it. I know our security officer evaluated and determined it was not a good fit for us. I will see if I can check with him why it did not fit. I thought it was cost, but might have been for other reasons.
