Office 365 Exchange Online Spam Filtering
Discussion
Thank, short but confirms most feedback so far 
Anything to watch for if you basically just want to be sure bad stuff isn't getting in to your peoples mailboxes?
Coming at it more from how 365 may differ from on-premises as I'm very much used to controlling every aspect of email filtering until now.

The online mail platforms, and especially Google and Microsoft has got this nailed.
They also have an enormous amount of data to do the analysis on, for example when you flag an email as spam, it has an enormous pool of users to get this data from and learn what makes this email spam.

Certainly I never see anything make it to my personal Gmail.They also have an enormous amount of data to do the analysis on, for example when you flag an email as spam, it has an enormous pool of users to get this data from and learn what makes this email spam.
365 often feels a bit like it's seen as the poor relation, not sure why but that's kind of my point, you'd think that simply through mass of numbers their detection would be better than anything third-party.

I use both on a daily basis, and it's very simple imho. Gmail has got web email nailed. O365 is great because of all the corporate/company wide stuff, which feels a bit more like an aftertought.365 often feels a bit like it's seen as the poor relation, not sure why but that's kind of my point, you'd think that simply through mass of numbers their detection would be better than anything third-party.
Of course, preferences will vary but that's my experience.
As much as I love Gmail, I still like working with Outlook on a day to day basis, and the O365 integration is just ahead of course.
It seems OK - various bits of spam do sneak through periodically I guess when spammers try a new method.
You can add the ATP licence on top if needed, though you'd assume that EOP should have the same protection without further costs...

As to using it, it's got the typical features re: black/white lists, threshold score rules, digest's of quarantined mail etc.

A couple of weeks in and so far I'm bloody impressed to be fair.
I've left most things on the defaults so could easily tighten up on the bulk mail filter for the "I don't remember signing up for that" stuff that actually, you did sign up for, but fingers crossed it's doing a damned good job catching spam and stopping anything malicious and so far I've not had a single query where something legitimate has been rejected.
