We performed a comparison between Perception Point Advanced Email Security and Trend Micro Web Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Internet Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I see from time to time that Perception Point is being proactive. They approach us, and say, "Can you check this, and this?" So, it does seem that they are an extension of my incident response."
"The solution’s effectiveness when it comes to detection is very good. It has a very good mechanism. It scans our emails. It identifies any threat or phishing attempts and phishing campaigns as well as any bad reputation, servers, or links, then it blocks them. This is what I find to be very good about this system."
"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."
"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."
"Another feature that we really like, one that was introduced a few months back, is the way it categorizes threats into groups, such as Emotet, Qbot, Formbook, and the like. It's not only telling you that something is malware, but it's also giving you insight into what kind of malware... You understand what you are facing and whether you are a target for a specific group of threats..."
"The solution is used to block malicious items hidden inside a document or PDF file."
"We haven't had a client, who uses their protection, have an email security breach. That is the best thing about what they do. We don't have to think too much. Their product just works and keeps bad emails away."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the speed of scanning emails."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"It's a stable solution."
"It's a very stable solution."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"Trend Micro has a centralized mechanism where we can control and monitor all system protections. It includes detecting any wireless problems, which will be displayed on our portal. We plan to investigate the issues with those systems internally."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"I think the interface could be improved in the next release."
"Dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"They just don't do a good job of promoting themselves. They seem like a typical busy IT company who is just working on fixing problems and making technology better. However, they are not fantastic at marketing themselves to existing partners, which is not a bad thing. It is just something for improvement."
"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."
"Coming from products in the Microsoft stack, Perception Point doesn't really give you, as an admin, a lot of options to make changes yourself. It's more on their side to make changes in the back end. That's something they could improve on in the future."
"From a forensics point of view, it could improve a bit more from a threat intelligence aspect. So, if I find a malicious email, they could have more investigations about sources, headers, where it comes from, if they have seen it in other campaigns before, etc. I would like a little bit more from a threat intelligence point of view so I can understand who else might be affected and attacked as well as the vectors of attack."
"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."
"It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
