In general, Strict is recommended for IT or "High Value Targets" where the risk of compromise would cause significant material damage to the organization. Standard is recommended for the common user where there is higher tolerance for risk. Obviously, no one wants to have any user account get taken over, but you have to weigh the balance of security versus productivity.
If it helps, I work with hundreds of companies and I am not aware of very many who put all users into the Strict mode - I can probably count those orgs on one hand.

I set the strict in the first place trying to do the best for the company (I'm self-taught), but I agree I think It's too tight for us.
Important meetings got missed because they were in quarantine whilst on strict. I have a temp company exemption whilst we get the project finished.
I think we have 2 options
1) Run standard and reduce security but less aggro so we can conduct business.
Or
2) I run Strict and revert the "If a message is protection" settings in the policies and just send to junk instead, so it stops the quarantine stuff piling up. I have quarantine set against pretty much any detection, atm.
Question, if I may, which would you choose of those 2?
