What I like most about Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is the peace of mind that comes from having everything centralized and automated in one place. It’s great not having to juggle a thousand different tools. If someone deletes an email or a file from Teams or SharePoint, I can restore it from the backup with a single click. Once, we restored an entire SharePoint folder in under five minutes, and everything was intact. It also takes away the stress of having to worry about someone falling for a phishing email or a virus slipping through. I appreciate that it scans links and attachments, alerts us if someone is about to send sensitive information to the wrong email address, and sends phishing simulations to help people learn. I can also see who has access to what from the dashboard and remove outdated permissions. I like having automatic, independent backups and hassle-free legal archiving. The initial setup was also smoother than I expected: the guided wizards and API connectors had everything connected and up and running in one morning, with no physical installations or awkward network configurations. When something happens, it saves the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I’m being picky, the admin dashboard can feel a little daunting at first: it has a huge number of options, and the learning curve is somewhat steep when you start configuring everything. Every now and then, the filter blocks or quarantines a legitimate email from a supplier, and the administrator has to go in and release it. With very large or complex attachments, sandbox analysis can take a couple of minutes, and sometimes users get impatient because they think the email isn’t arriving. Also, for a very small business or a freelancer who just wants a simple backup, the full suite can be a significant expense compared with more basic options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
