Looking for alternatives to Sherweb Office Protect?
Explore how SaaS Alerts beats Sherweb for O365 protection.
Sherweb Office Protect depends on analyst teams to monitor and investigate threats in the Microsoft environment, leading to a time lag in detection and response. With SaaS Alerts, MSPs configure security thresholds on multiple applications to minimize response time and reduce potential security risks.
Being one of the top Sherweb competitors, our automated approach offers a competitive advantage over human analysis due to its speed, consistency and scalability.
Why MSPs Choose Saas Alerts over Sherweb Office 365
Swift and Automated Remediation
| SaaS Alerts | Sherweb Office Protect |
| MSPs tailor security rules with our Respond module to automatically address cybersecurity threats and quickly act against bad actors. | The remediation steps for Sherweb Office 365 require a guided response from their team, resulting in a delay in responding to security threats. |
Better Accuracy to Detect Threats
| SaaS Alerts | Sherweb Office Protect |
| The SaaS Alerts platform swiftly examines extensive data sets, promptly notifying MSPs of unusual activities for immediate threat elimination. | The Sherweb support team analyzes alerts in 60 minutes. Relying on human verification could lead to overlooked alerts and delayed detection. |
Comprehensive Integration Capabilities
| SaaS Alerts | Sherweb Office Protect |
| Besides protecting cloud solutions like Google Workspace, M365, Salesforce, Dropbox and Slack, SaaS Alerts integrates with MSP tools such as ITGlue, NinjaOne, ConnectWise, Autotask and Kaseya. | Sherweb provides Microsoft 365 protection for Teams, Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint. Office Protect currently integrates with only two MSP tools – ConnectWise and Autotask. |
Deployment of Security Recommendations
| SaaS Alerts | Sherweb Office Protect |
| Leveraging our security policy automation features, MSPs can quicky implement Microsoft security recommendations and improve secure scores for tenants. | The platform only detects changes in security policies. Sherweb partners cannot deploy Microsoft security recommendations to boost cyber posture. |
Internal Use for MSPs
| SaaS Alerts | Sherweb Office Protect |
| MSPs using SaaS Alerts for their clients’ security benefit from free internal use to monitor IT documentation and RMM tools for enhanced security of their own business. | With Sherweb Office365 security software, MSPs do not get the option to monitor their internal tools, leading to less effective security practices for their operations. |
