What is our primary use case?
The main usage of Trend Micro, in general, is for email. There were a lot of attacks. We work in Saudi Arabia, and I believe Saudi Arabia is targeted. So we have a lot of hacks.
In spite of our firewall and security systems, I found that most of the attacks came through emails. So, after installing Trend Micro, I actually used Proofpoint, Trend Micro, and then Microsoft Defender. Over time, I found that Trend Micro alone is quite enough.
Now, I am satisfied with the protection that Trend Micro provides to email.
How has it helped my organization?
It's a complete solution for not only email, but for any kind of attack - for the network, for antivirus, everything.
What is most valuable?
Blocking spam is the most valuable aspect of this product for me. Some people can hack our system by sending emails from our domain to our domain. This is blocked completely by Trend Micro.
Another one is that if I give you a public email, like ABC@gmail.com, ABC is not related to the display name. So people use this tactic here in this area; they pick up the names of the chairman, for instance, from the Internet or whatever, and then create a public email. So, the display name is very different from the public email address. I found that Trend Micro can block this.
We suffered a lot from such attacks. We can look at it; it's a normal email. It's just that someone can create a fake email or a true public email but with a fake display name. None of the other antivirus programs could catch this, but we reported this many times to Trend Micro.
Then, we came up with a solution where they compared the display name to the email address. If there's a big difference, they can contain the email until you take action. Trend Micro Security detects such emails.
What needs improvement?
Trend Micro Email Security can improve on scam detection. It could use AI in this area. For example, there is a normal email, and it asks for contact information or to make a relationship or something like that. So it needs a feature that can read the contents of the emails or the attached files. Maybe this could be done through AI tools that can analyze if this is a kind of scam or not.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have emails from Microsoft 365, specifically CloudOne. For backup, we use a software called CodeTwo. We used the major security measures of Microsoft.
With Microsoft Defender, something was wrong with the configuration; maybe from our side or the vendor's side, it was not effective. That's why we went for Trend Micro.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation of Trend Micro into our IT security workflow was quite simple.
We are not a bank or a financial services company. We are a manufacturing company or group. So, the security measures here are really different from those of a financial services company.
Here, all we have is firewalls in each branch like this, and we have Trend Micro.
It is quite easy to setup. I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy and one being difficult. It took a couple of hours.
It is set up in the cloud environment.
What was our ROI?
There has been ROI. Security is very crucial to our business. And if you have communication with your customers or clients, especially if there is something related to invoicing or payment, it's quite critical that you make sure that whatever you see or send is correct and confidential. Because it happened before that we lost some data because of this kind of attack.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
The features of such security software are all very similar, and very close to each other. But if you would like to select one, look at the support. It is quite important. So is the local agent. With Trend Micro, I found it easy to deal with these people.
With the vendor and their support, because, for some reason, Trend Micro is famous here in Saudi Arabia.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten, with ten being the best and one being the worst.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
