Has good detection and response capabilities
The solution is very easy to use. We don't have any difficulty with transactions. Finding information, customizing configurations, and getting support or documentation is simple. I don't have any negative points to mention. I would recommend this solution to others. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a ten. It's amazing for us—the protection, the analysis time compared to Microsoft 365, and the pricing are all good. We're using both solutions—spam and protection channels. Recently, we presented two-week results to a customer, and they liked them and wanted to buy the solution. Our feedback is positive. We're developing a strategy to increase sales of the solution. When we deliver executive summaries to customers, we present good news about our company and discuss how Perception Point Advanced Email Security can help improve their security.

Has an easy-to-manage administrator console and provides a straightforward setup process
Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security. It provides basic security features and includes behavioral monitoring to detect anomalies and potential ransomware attacks. Since switching to Trend Micro, we have benefited from features such as ransomware protection, behavioral monitoring, and backup capabilities, which were significant factors in our decision to migrate. The administrator console is easy to manage and user-friendly. I rate it an eight out of ten. I highly recommend Trend Micro products. They offer a robust solution, and if budget is not an issue, there are more options available in the market to consider as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It really works well on SharePoint when you upload a file or save a file. Advanced Email Security scans if it is malicious and identifies issues. It can do some forensics on its console, which is nice."
"One of the most valuable features is the service provided by the incident response team. There have been cases where we have suspected that emails were fraudulent or something was suspicious. In those cases, we immediately contacted the incident response team through the platform, and we had a response in less than a minute."
"After integration, the tool is very easy to use. I had a problem with scripts for one customer, but my team did the integration for other customers without issues. So, I think I made a mistake in my integration. Both inline and API work fine."
"The most valuable feature of Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the filtering and securing of emails."
"The solution is used to block malicious items hidden inside a document or PDF file."
"Their security engines are very effective at stopping malware and potential attacks before they reach a user's mailbox. They have the best detection engine."
"We can use it to perform detection and analysis of emails. For any malicious content found in emails, it gives in-depth analysis reports to end users. If you log into the console, you can see in-depth detection and how it happens."
"The Perception Point Incident Response team acts as an extension of our SOC team. This is very important for us. This is a benefit provided for their main product of scanning our emails. If Perception Point can give me IR, this is really good versus other products that do not provide this kind of service. Perception Point's service is great. They are very professional. That reduces the time that my internal SOC has to deal with my internal IT person. They just send an email to the IR team at Perception Point, who continues the investigation and blocks any emails, if necessary. This is very good because it can reduce a lot of time and effort from my team. It is like an extension of my SOC, but external."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"The real-time threat detection capability of Trend Micro Web Security has had a positive impact on our security."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions."
"I think the interface could be improved in the next release."
"There is room for improvement in terms of adding the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution, which would be a good option for Perception Point to look into."
"There is still room for improvement with BEC. There is more work to be done by Perception Point on machine learning and neuro language as well. BEC is very difficult if you don't have a computer language looking into the content of the email and trying to make a determination through that. With BEC you often don't have an attachment or a URL."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security should make available more use cases."
"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."
"Dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"We have had a few false positives, not that many, but a few... they have a feature where someone from the Incident Response team can look at an email and mark it as 'verified malicious.' You might think that if an engine detects it is malicious, and an IR team member has flagged it as malicious, it will definitely be malicious. But that's not always the case."
"his legacy version currently lacks WFA, which is a useful tool for managing bandwidth and applying data control limits to specific users. It's especially beneficial for organizations using Android and Azure."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"They could improve the platform's ability to control normal traffic and prevent attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting."
"There is room for improvement in the anti-malware capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has very reasonable pricing. Normally, the end user is paying. Perception Point is already in the Amazon marketplace, so we cannot sell it as a distribution partner. For example, we cannot take more than that margin of what they offer in the marketplace. Whatever the end user is paying, it is definitely worth it and it is not that high."
"It fits every budget. It has a low price. I can't go ahead and sell it for any price I want. They are quite strict. They say, "This is the price that you can sell it for and this is the price for you as a reseller." That is it. It is not a lot of money. I will not become rich from it, but I like that they keep a standard for everyone. They are a fair company."
"The pricing compared to the value Perception Point brings is super-competitive. They're not the cheapest in the market, but the value and the quality of the product are superior to anything else in the market, so we don't mind paying more for it."
"The solution is neither cheap nor expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"In Brazil, the dollar price affects the cost. Perception Point Advanced Email Security is about 50 percent less expensive."
"They are not the most expensive vendor. There are much more expensive vendors. They are not cheap, but they are not the most expensive. They are somewhere in the middle."
"The pricing and licensing are very fair compared to competing companies in the same field."
"The pricing was fair in comparison with the other solutions. We have received good value for what we paid."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"There's annual and monthly options for the license. When you're on the managed services option, it's monthly. They're also setting up an option via AWS where there will be a monthly option via the AWS shopfront."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I don't remember the exact pricing, but I think that it is approximately $10.00 per user."
"We have found this product to be very cost effective. The endpoint product costs roughly $20, and when purchasing the endpoint product, there are multiple other features included."
"The solution is expensive in terms of deployment."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"The license is yearly and user based."
