Cybersecurity Engineer Lead at Johnson & Johnson

I have seen a return on investment with Trellix Collaboration Security; specifically, money was saved and fewer employees were needed because I do not need employees on different sites.

Network & Security Lead at a computer software company with 1-10 employees

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.

Jorge Abalo

Endpoint Security Analyst at BNP Paribas

Since Trend Micro launched in the Pakistani market, it has offered a great return on investment with competitive financial costing.

Trend Micro Email Security is praised for effective, responsive support, though some users note delays in less critical cases.

My contract of support at Santander and BNP was a platinum support level, and with that, we really had a good experience.

Cybersecurity Engineer Lead at Johnson & Johnson

My experience with the Indian support team was not as satisfactory since they did not provide adequate support to rectify issues.

Network & Security Lead at a computer software company with 1-10 employees

The support isn't bad, but there is room for improvement in response time.

Room For Improvement

Trellix Collaboration Security needs improved reporting, spam detection, integration, customization, and virus/spam features, addressing performance and language support issues.

Trend Micro Email Security needs better phishing detection, user-friendly interface, and improved scalability, support, and integration capabilities.

I would like to see the addition of email digital protection features, such as anti-spam and antivirus, not just sandboxing, in the on-premises solution.

Shadi Alyounes

Senior Team Leader at BMB

To improve vulnerabilities, Trellix can use an automation process to check if the system is vulnerable.

Network & Security Lead at a computer software company with 1-10 employees

Trellix Collaboration Security can be improved by making the reporting and analysis tools more detailed.

Firat Firat

Sr Network & System Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

If there is a product that can provide a centralized view Trend Vision One does, it really grabs the customer's interest because customers usually don't have to buy separate EDR, XDR, or SIEM solutions or a console for their SOC analyst or email security team.

SOC Team Lead at a security firm with 51-200 employees

I would apply different policies to classify or categorize emails such as spam or not spam and inspect the content of the email and attachments to check for viruses or malware.

JamelAmmar

Network And Security Architect Consultant at AssurOne Group SA

The company also needs to work on pricing because it is quite costly compared to other products.

Setup Cost

Trellix Collaboration Security is costly yet valued for multi-year licensing, challenging smaller businesses despite reasonable setup costs.

Trend Micro Email Security costs about $6,000 annually for 300 users, valued for its flexibility, support, and security.

It is quite expensive and should be reconsidered.

Cyber Security Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

The setup cost was very cheap.

Network & Security Lead at a computer software company with 1-10 employees

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Trellix Collaboration Security is that pricing and setup were reasonable and licensing was straightforward.

Firat Firat

Sr Network & System Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Prices range from 11 to 12 dollars for licenses and can fluctuate up and down.

CEO at Haniya Technologies

A great benefit is that if you buy a license for 100 servers and 100 mailboxes, and if your mailboxes increase to 120 while your servers decrease to 80, you can reallocate credits from unused email security to your mailboxes.

SOC Team Lead at a security firm with 51-200 employees

This is the biggest consideration companies think about when deciding to implement Trend Micro Email Security.

Valuable Features

Trellix Collaboration Security offers easy integration, advanced threat detection, auto-remediation, and customizable dashboards, enhancing overall security and collaboration.

Trend Micro Email Security ensures strong protection against spam and phishing with seamless management, scalability, and advanced features.

Another feature I believe is very important is the real-time response capability. It is possible to collect artifacts, run scripts, kill processes, and isolate machines all without leaving the interface.

Cybersecurity Engineer Lead at Johnson & Johnson

One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching.

The entire system is stable and delivers what the customer needs.

Shadi Alyounes

Senior Team Leader at BMB

It does provide me with centralized visibility and management across protection layers. It can integrate all of the separate EDR, XDR, or SIEM solutions, and if you have cloud security applications, all can be integrated and viewed in a single console.

SOC Team Lead at a security firm with 51-200 employees

When we implemented Trend Micro Email Security, we found that about 80% of emails were blocked because they are phishing and spam.

Cybersecurity Engineer with 11-50 employees

The product is quite strong, and that is one reason most clients are replacing their existing email security solutions with it.

Real-time threat response has boosted detection accuracy and reduces manual investigation work

Cybersecurity Engineer Lead at Johnson & Johnson

I have had challenges in the past with Trellix Collaboration Security for implementation because of issues related to compatibility. Since we worked in a global company with different operating systems, it was necessary to create different plans and different actions to implement the product.One thing I really do not prefer in Trellix Collaboration Security is not related to the console. I am a McAfee fan since the McAfee tool, and I find the console of Trellix Collaboration Security to be very user-friendly and easy to use. However, I do not know if it is related to the architecture of the product. Of course, we have modern threats based on behaviors and zero days. We have today CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, where we have better results based on threats and behavior, where it is possible to create a simulation environment based on the file detected and based on it, confirm if it really is malicious or not. In general, I believe Trellix Collaboration Security improved the console based on the last console of McAfee, but I think it is possible to improve more. It really is a good product, but in my view, it needs to improve detection based on behaviors. Regarding automations, I have implemented Trellix Collaboration Security here at Johnson & Johnson, and I implemented it in the same situation at Santander Bank and BNP Paribas Bank, where I created automations to export data for different metrics, including malicious detections, compliance, baselines, scans, last scans based on the seven days, and checking of patterns. I export everything to CSV files. Based on that, I create Power BI dashboards, and in these Power BI dashboards, I have a more executive view for different metrics to provide to myself, my manager, or director to create an executive view based on it. Another important point we use here at Johnson & Johnson and other companies is a data hub or a SIEM solution, such as Elastic or ArcSight, where we select some logs to be sent and use it to build reports and metrics.

Centralized protection has transformed email security and incident investigations by reducing false positives and improving behavioral threat detection

SOC Team Lead at a security firm with 51-200 employees

The challenges include the challenge of finalizing a product that has all the security features or capabilities that are usually required. For example, if there is an EDR platform that's just monitoring IDS signatures, it won't be as beneficial as one with behavioral monitoring and other critical aspects required according to the best practices of the industry. Additionally, if there is a product that can provide a centralized view Trend Vision One does, it really grabs the customer's interest because customers usually don't have to buy separate EDR, XDR, or SIEM solutions or a console for their SOC analyst or email security team. These challenges consist of managing multiple teams and products. Trend Micro Email Security comes in and solves these problems.Trend Micro Email Security is generally a bit more difficult to implement compared to the rest of the solutions such as network security modules or EDR modules, which are much easier. Trend Micro Email Security has some complexities in implementation, but there aren't any significant shortcomings that require Trend Micro to improve.

Overview

Trellix Collaboration Security is a comprehensive solution designed to protect sensitive data and ensure secure collaboration within organizations. With the increasing reliance on digital platforms for communication and collaboration, it is crucial to have robust security measures in place. Trellix Collaboration Security offers a range of features to safeguard data and prevent unauthorized access.

One of the key features of Trellix Collaboration Security is its advanced encryption capabilities. All data transmitted and stored within the platform is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms, ensuring that it remains secure and protected from potential threats. This encryption extends to all communication channels, including emails, file transfers, and instant messaging, providing end-to-end security.

To further enhance security, Trellix Collaboration Security incorporates multi-factor authentication. This means that users are required to provide multiple forms of identification, such as passwords, biometrics, or security tokens, to access the platform. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, as even if one factor is compromised, the others provide an additional layer of protection.

In addition to encryption and multi-factor authentication, Trellix Collaboration Security offers robust access controls. Administrators can define and enforce granular access permissions, ensuring that only authorized individuals can view, edit, or share specific documents or folders. This helps prevent data leakage and ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to those who need it.

Trellix Collaboration Security also includes comprehensive auditing and monitoring capabilities. Administrators can track user activities, monitor file transfers, and generate detailed reports to identify any suspicious or unauthorized behavior. This proactive approach allows organizations to quickly detect and respond to potential security breaches, minimizing the impact on data integrity and confidentiality.
