Advanced email protection has reduced fraud risks and simplifies compliance workflows
The primary area for improvement in Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the need for more integrations with XDR solutions. Currently, XDR integration exists with Symantec and CrowdStrike, but additional integrations are needed. I have found that the CrowdStrike integration, specifically the Falcon integration, has been experiencing issues recently. This represents another area requiring improvement. Integration capabilities are particularly important because companies are increasingly transitioning to their own SOC platforms or SIEM solutions to ensure complete environmental integration and security. MDR technology has emerged as a significant market offering, and Perception Point Advanced Email Security should develop integrations with additional solutions in this space. I am fully satisfied with the functionality of Perception Point Advanced Email Security because we have more than 200 customers using this product. We are retaining approximately 85 to 90 percent of our customers with this solution. All customers are satisfied, and we ourselves are satisfied with the product with no plans to change it. The only area for improvement is the integration capabilities.

Consistent web protection has prevented incidents and supports flexible hybrid security models
I would rate Trend Micro Web Security a nine, but not because I have some issues in mind. I have only seen a bit better product. I was also a McAfee partner some time ago, when there was still McAfee. Some features definitely in McAfee were better than what I see in Trend Micro. I cannot tell what Trend Micro could learn from web security products of their competitors because this product has not existed for at least eight years now for McAfee, and I have no experience with other competitors. But relative to my experience and expertise, I should rate it a ten, but still I am a bit cautious because other products also have great features and these features are not covered 100% by Trend Micro. I cannot tell what additional features I would like to see in the next release, but when I see such a feature, it is very compelling. When you get into a new car and this car has something new and great, adaptive suspension, whatever, you just feel a nice feeling and you want this car. That is how I feel. I have not complained that something is missing from Trend Micro product, but I have seen in specific examples some great ideas in competition.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Perception Point Advanced Email Security has helped to reduce the number of alerts received by our endpoint layer, actually saving on security team management by blocking malicious URLs before they can download payloads to our machines."
"Perception Point performs a really important part of what our vision is for email security."
"It pretty much gives us the perfect solution for our requirements."
"We can use it to perform detection and analysis of emails. For any malicious content found in emails, it gives in-depth analysis reports to end users. If you log into the console, you can see in-depth detection and how it happens."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing risk, improving operational efficiency, and creating a better end-user experience."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the technical support services."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security has a correct price point and offers very good email filtering capabilities."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"The real-time threat detection capability of Trend Micro Web Security has had a positive impact on our security."
"It prevents phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, and other threats that can compromise data."
"Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"Currently, many applications are hosted on the web. They are hosted in multiple clouds and tenants. Organizations with different geolocations and users require a very secure WAF solution. For enterprise companies, it is essential to secure their networks and applications."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
 

Cons

"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."
"Maybe a couple of improvements on their portal would be good, but other than that, I think it is good."
"Our users would like the solution to scan outgoing emails. So, if my system is compromised, and I have malicious content in my system, then there is a possibility that I send malicious email to my colleague."
"To improve the solution, maybe a portal for end users to consult their emails would be helpful. The end user could access the portal and see their emails or events. They could also refresh the names."
"We have had a few false positives, not that many, but a few."
"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."
"I think the interface could be improved in the next release."
"Its websites for analysis need to be a bit more approachable for people who are less technical."
"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 costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
"Trend Micro products are quite expensive compared to Kaspersky, Sophos, and McAfee."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other solutions on the market, it is relatively fair."
"The pricing and licensing are very fair compared to competing companies in the same field."
"We would always like it to be cheaper and save more money. However, we are getting the value from it."
"They are not the most expensive vendor. There are much more expensive vendors. They are not cheap, but they are not the most expensive. They are somewhere in the middle."
"It has very reasonable pricing. Normally, the end user is paying. Perception Point is already in the Amazon marketplace, so we cannot sell it as a distribution partner. For example, we cannot take more than that margin of what they offer in the marketplace. Whatever the end user is paying, it is definitely worth it and it is not that high."
"The pricing compared to the value Perception Point brings is super-competitive. They're not the cheapest in the market, but the value and the quality of the product are superior to anything else in the market, so we don't mind paying more for it."
"We were able to get reasonable pricing that matches the ROI we want, so I think that it is the correct price point."
"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."
"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."
"I don't remember the exact pricing, but I think that it is approximately $10.00 per user."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"It is pricey. Trend Micro has been in the field for 30 years, so you have to pay a premium amount for that."
"The license is yearly and user based."
