For the most part they are providing educational pricing.  For all of them, we're paying full price for faculty/staff 
and then they each have their own way of devising what the student cost will be.  But I will say the variance has been 
$100k+ across those vendors.

Hi Aaron

We are on Office 365 as well.  Are the vendors in this space providing 'educational' pricing (e.g. FTE) or per mailbox? 
 With all the mailboxes we have, most seldom used, it could be a pretty expensive proposition for us.

Thanks
Patrick

Thank you for posing this question as it is timely and relevant to us as well!

We've been looking at the same thing for several months though we haven't actually undergone a proof of concept with 
any vendors yet.  We are also O365 users.

We are considering:

1.       MS ATP

2.       Mimecast

3.       Proofpoint

4.       Cisco CES

5.       FireEye MX protection

Based on features, effectiveness and cost I am leaning toward Mimecast.  Proofpoint is great but will be so much more 
expensive I've pretty much ruled them out.  Same with Cisco.

All of them do the key requirements which are sandboxing, URL rewrites and additional spam and av protection.  To me, 
the deciding factors then come down to the effectiveness of the sandbox and any other additional features to cost ratio.

I'd love to hear experience or thoughts on any of these products.

Hello Security Constituents
We're looking to implement an Advanced Email Security Solution to integrate with Office 365 at our University.

If you have some time, do you mind telling us about any solutions you have employed to battle with spam, phishing, 
malicious attachments and malicious URL's in your Office 365 environment as well as any successes and challenges since 
implementation?

Thank you for taking your time to respond!

Have a breach free day!

Thank you,
