User interface updates needed but achieves cost savings and threat protection
We are using Kaspersky Security for Mail Server to enhance our email system’s security and protect against threats Kaspersky Security for Mail Server handles spam and phishing attempts well. I have not experienced any spam issues. Its malware detection effectively manages the security of our…

Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have achieved cost savings of up to thirty percent by using Kaspersky Security for Mail Server."
"The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it."
"The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities."
"Kaspersky Security for Mail Server provides protection against email spams and blacklisted emails which are suspicious, making it a good product."
"The primary use case of this solution is to filter emails and only allow the legitimate ones through."
"You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution."
"I find the product valuable because it provides easy integration with other platforms like Fortinet firewalls."
"Many similar solutions don't normally protect clients from malware, but FireEye does a very good job of protecting systems."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"FireEye is good for malware depicting and security."
"It is one of the greatest solutions to have or to complement any other security solution such as Proofpoint or IronPort."
"The major features of Trellix Collaboration Security are URL analysis and file inspection, which are considered the crown of the product."
"After implementing Trellix Collaboration Security, we have not encountered any incidents related to ransomware."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"We have had very good results from the use of FireEye Email Security. We are very comfortable with this technology, but I don't know if it's necessary to move into the cloud, we will check other technologies and study them. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
 

Cons

"The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license."
"Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users."
"The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement."
"Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't."
"The stability of Kaspersky Security for Mail Server is okay, not so much of an issue."
"I have only made contact via email, and it is a little slow. I would give customer service a rating of six or seven. Improving Spanish support would greatly benefit users."
"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't."
"I rated the overall solution a five out of ten. If a user is looking for a low-budget solution with mid-level security without AI features, Kaspersky Security for Mail Server is suitable."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"Trellix Collaboration Security can be improved by making the reporting and analysis tools more detailed."
"I chose a nine out of ten because some improvements are required, especially concerning East-West traffic or zero-day vulnerabilities."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
"The cloud product is not open to the customers. If the system itself could be more open to the customer, I'd be able to configure it more specifically."
"We're not really that satisfied with technical support. They are too slow to respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution offers one of the best prices possible to its users, making it even better than Barracuda. Kaspersky Security for Mail Server is ten times cheaper than Barracuda."
"The solution is not expensive."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs solution."
"Price-wise, I would rate this product a four out of five. It could be a bit cheaper."
"The cost is very high."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
