Amber Worth - PeerSpot reviewer
Retrieves data from quarantines and easy to read logs with robust security features
Some of the searchability when looking for specifics in Exchange logs is tedious. Although eventually the information is located, it can be difficult if detailed information is lacking. Improving the search process by allowing searches with different types of parameters and facilitating searches within emails would be advantageous. Simplifying interfaces would also be appreciated.

Pros

"The security features provided by Microsoft are robust."
"It offers great security against malware and other threats."
"You can use the product to create special accounts."
"It is an easy solution."
"We use the solution to receive emails. We do not use the calendar function as our clients are slow adaptors to the latest features."
"The security features provided by Microsoft are robust."
"I rate Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) nine out of ten."
"The initial setup was easy. The configuration process is very straightforward."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
 

Cons

"Online Protection has an issue in that it doesn't provide an option to stop impersonation."
"We have experienced issues while migrating from on-prem to the cloud. The tool needs to improve its stability."
"The solution can be complex at times. It would be nice to have the on-server version. It needs to improve the stability as well."
"The product's end-of-life cycle could be extended."
"I would like to get reports about vulnerable connections from our clients with information about domains, public IPs, etc. That would be highly useful."
"It would be helpful for customers if Plan 1 features were included with EOP."
"It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints."
"If a company wants to put in line back-to-back anti-spam solutions, they need to work on that part because Microsoft recommends either you use EOP as a front line or you don't use it."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a six. For licensing, we can make monthly or yearly payments. Right now, we pay 5 USD per month to secure a person's license."
"It's a high price."

"The pricing of the solution is reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is excellent."

"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
