Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization

Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Ensures continuous protection with real-time scanning of emails and mailboxes

ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas. Additionally, the response time of their technical support is slow and needs enhancement. Overall, Trend Micro's technical support has deteriorated, and pricing is another area that requires attention. The list pricing is high, and we lose deals against competitors because of this. Trend Micro should consider reducing their prices, especially for large customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."

"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."

"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."

"We haven't had any infections or down time."

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."

"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."

"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."

"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."

"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."

"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."

"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."

"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."

"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."

"The analysis part is good."

More Trend Micro ScanMail pros

Cons

"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."

"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."

"The management of the solution could improve."

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."

"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."

"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Even Trend Micro ScanMail support staff are not familiar with this product."

"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."

"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."

"The sandboxing part can be improved."

"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."

"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."

"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."

"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."

More Trend Micro ScanMail cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."

"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Its price is okay. It is not too high."

"It's a yearly subscription, but the price could be better."

CrowdStrike

More than 90 percent of targeted attacks begin with a spear phishing email, which means your mail server security is more important than ever. Unfortunately, most mail server security solutions, including the limited set of built-in protections in Microsoft® Exchange™ 2013 and 2016, rely on pattern file updates, which only detect traditional malware. They don’t include specific protections to detect malicious URLs or document exploits commonly used in targeted attacks or advanced persistent threats (APTs).

ScanMail™ Suite for Microsoft® Exchange™ stops highly targeted email attacks and spear phishing by using document exploit detection, enhanced web reputation, and sandboxing as part of a custom APT defense—protection you don’t get with other solutions. In addition, only ScanMail blocks traditional malware with email, file, and web reputation technology and correlated global threat intelligence from Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ cloud-based security.

Time-saving features like central management, search and destroy, and role-based access have earned ScanMail its reputation as one of the simplest security solutions to setup and operate.
