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.

Provides comprehensive protection for enterprises
The cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense. Even companies with multi-tenant, multi-cloud, and multi-geolocation environments are not using this WAF solution because it is an investment. They already have endpoint protection, EDR, firewalls, and authentication. Spending on WAF is an extra investment for them. This is one reason mid-enterprise segments hesitate to adopt it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 is stopping malicious emails and tagging emails noted as spam. So, we are able to disseminate those emails, get what we need, and block clearly malicious emails. It saves us a lot of valuable time. It keeps our users safe, e.g., the majority of emails that they would have gotten in the past don't even make it into their inbox."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security has helped address specific email threats within my organization."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to identify malicious content and phishing emails and reduce the workload we have to do in terms of security."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the technical support services."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"It prevents phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, and other threats that can compromise data."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"Overall, I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"They could provide additional data loss prevention features as we encounter different kinds of attacks in today's scenario."
"Its websites for analysis need to be a bit more approachable for people who are less technical. Technically, it is a fire-and-forget solution. So, you want to be able to implement this solution for a lot of companies who don't have security operation teams (SOCs) behind them. You need to have something where a secretary can jump onto this console and release whatever she needs to release. Therefore, it needs to be written in a very specific non-technical language."
"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."
"It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions."
"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."
"This is an option to preview an email in their console, and that could be improved. If you open the preview, then it auto scrolls. Therefore, it is hard to look at the email when it is going to the next page or scrolling. It should not have the auto-scroll."
"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security should make available more use cases."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense."
"There is room for improvement in the anti-malware capabilities."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is room for improvement for them with an MSP partner. The pricing is good and fair. Our customers don't complain. The only thing is that it's a little bit old school. They don't have a system that automatically checks the number of users that our customers have so we can just update the licenses ourselves through a website. It is still done manually. They have a person who checks invoicing monthly to determine if there have been any changes. A nice improvement would be if they could get automated licensing counts."
"The pricing is not cheap, but I can see the value. In security, if you are trying to save by giving up quality, that's a very bad decision."
"The pricing was fair in comparison with the other solutions. We have received good value for what we paid."
"The solution is neither cheap nor expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"The price of the solution is high."
"The price of this solution was within our budget and I think that it will suit most SMBs."
"If a user only wants protection for email, then the price of the product is okay, but if they opt for the collaboration options offered by the product, then it becomes a little expensive."
"When compared to other solutions on the market, it is relatively fair."
"It is pricey. Trend Micro has been in the field for 30 years, so you have to pay a premium amount for that."
"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."
"The license is yearly and user based."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"I don't remember the exact pricing, but I think that it is approximately $10.00 per user."
"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."
"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."
