Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection offers businesses an extra layer of protection against malicious threats and phishing attacks. It’s low cost, easy to deploy and easy to manage as it’s fully integrated with Office 365. The machine learning and impersonation detection systems offer businesses a basic level of protection against phishing attacks. However. In October 2017, researchers announced that Microsoft had missed 34,000 phishing emails, demonstrating that it is not the most effective phishing protection platform.
For this reason, Microsoft ATP should not be used alone to protect businesses from phishing or targeted social engineering attacks. If you are planning to use this solution as an extra layer of security, we also recommend using a dedicated third party security solution in our Post – Delivery Protection category. These solutions will be more effective to stop phishing attempts and business email compromise.

"Good extra layer of security for email, and some useful functionality, but not a catch-all email security solution"
What did you like best when using this solution?It's a good low cost solution that we use for link URL rewriting. It's also really useful to detect viruses in OneDrive. There are some useful features, but the main benefit of this solution is that it added an extra layer of protection for our O365 email suite.
What did you dislike about using this solution?It still let in phishing emails regularly. The solution is not as powerful as third party vendors and still let in some security threats.
Describe your overall experience with Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection. Did you find this product solved your business needs?We chose Microsoft ATP as an extra layer of defense for our emails. The solution is reasonably priced and easy to get set up. It adds some sufeul security features like URL protections and looking for threats in OneDrive. But the main problem is that it still lets in phishing emails.
