Layered email security has protected sensitive research and still flags phishing in real time
The valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) include providing an additional layer of protection, as it builds on the basic Exchange level of security that allows us to get our work done. Another feature I appreciate is the ability to question things, as our Exchange server allows us to identify in real-time if an email is a phishing email or spam email. It really helps us identify risks, especially through our external exchanges via email or through our cloud-based platforms. Our Exchange system blocks any embedded AI from all our applications and products, so we cannot use embedded AI in our daily work from our official laptops because we have secure information. The system is quite locked down.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
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. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

"The security features provided by Microsoft are robust."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection has features like DLP (data loss protection), Safe Attachment, and Safe Links."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection was easy."
"The initial setup was easy. The configuration process is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of administration. Other solutions require complex administration, but Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is easier."
"Overall, I think it's really a great product."
"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."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"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."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
 

Cons

"The biggest issue that I experience is that Microsoft keeps moving things around, and it's very inconsistent as to where you find the information when you're trying to work on different pieces."
"When the product is being updated, it changes some of the setups. The support team is also not good."
"The licensing can be on the expensive side, especially in the cloud space."
"The user interface of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) has room for improvement, as at times it doesn't make sense where to go to access certain features."
"The security compliance features need to be improved. Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well."
"Not all settings can be configured automatically and most still require manual configuration. However, there is an automation tool available that can be used to input all the configurations either as a script or a tool it would be helpful."
"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 could be lower."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"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."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for the solution depends on what you are trying to achieve with the use of the product, but I know that it is not a cheaply priced product. Yearly payments have to be made towards the licensing fees of the solution."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable."
"It is a low-price solution."
"The solution is priced high and could be less expensive compared to other solutions."
"Regarding the price, it's comparable to other service providers. We've also looked at Check Point's offerings, and the pricing doesn't seem to be an issue."
"It's a high price."
"The product is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is excellent."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"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 pricing of the solution could be better."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
