Robust with a good antivirus engine and good reliability
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is not overly complex."
  • "While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."

What is our primary use case?

We have implemented the solution for a few clients.

What is most valuable?

The Email Security solution from Trend Micro is quite a strong solution. The antivirus engine is quite strong, which is one thing the partners and clients prefer.  

The biggest selling point is the GUI. The administration is very easy. For anyone who knows a little bit about IT, or is a little bit technical, can run the solution easily and administer it as well.

The initial setup is not overly complex. 

It is a product that offers good stability.

We can scale the solution if we need to.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes, especially when you are hit by ransomware, there are issues. The hardest thing to deal with is spam email, which you can actually protect your network from. They could improve the database or the engine to make it more robust to stop those kinds of emails. Even if an end user tries to open those emails, normally, they will send you the zip file or a website address or something like that, and the end user will get in trouble if they try to open anything. Therefore, if Trend Micro can improve its engine to stop those kinds of new ransomware, that would be a big plus for them. While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet.

It's quite pricey.

In Email Security, they basically pretty much cover everything. They can't add anything else. If they try to add something in, it might also slow down the computers and the process. I don't think they will add anything in the near future.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a while. It's been four to five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable and reliable. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can scale. They have a few products you can add on with Email Security, which can help you secure your network using other security products. Therefore, it is very much scalable.

How are customer service and support?

We've dealt with technical support. They are great. They're on-time and very quick.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I am also familiar with Kaspersky. 

I would rate Trend Micro better than Kaspersky.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex. It takes about an hour or two to have everything set up.

You only need two people to manage the solution if you have around 1,000 users.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost can be pretty high. Due to their cost, it's okay for the enterprise and the corporate level companies. They are the ones who go for Trend Micro Email Security. A small company does not go for it due to the cost. 

I'd rate the solution two out of five in terms of affordability.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a Trend Micro reseller.

The solution could be deployed either on the cloud or on-premises. It depends on the client what he actually requires. Both of them have similar kinds of features. No one is better than the other, however, personally, I prefer on-premises.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Provides effective filtering for spam, phishing, and suspicious emails
Pros and Cons
  • "I find the anti-phishing and anti-spam features most valuable because they reduce false positives and enhance security."
  • "In terms of improvement, reducing false positives would improve the system."

What is our primary use case?

Our main use case for Trend Micro Email Security is to filter out spam, phishing, and suspicious emails before they reach my inbox. It adds an extra layer of protection to block harmful content and protect me. Additionally, it includes image security features, such as blacklisting and whitelisting, to further enhance security.

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Micro Email Security has helped reduce overall security expenditures.

What is most valuable?

I find the anti-phishing and anti-spam features most valuable because they reduce false positives and enhance security. Also, the image security feature is helpful, especially with just two pictures.

What needs improvement?

In terms of improvement, reducing false positives would improve the system. If there were fewer false positives, it would be nearly perfect.

In the next release, I would like to see improved detection for emails containing only text, especially if they seem suspicious but lack links or attachments. Currently, Trend Micro Email Security is effective with emails containing links or attachments, but those with only text can slip through unnoticed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro Email Security for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have had a few minor stability issues, but overall the stability of the solution is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the solution is quite good. We have approximately 40 employees who use it at our company.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good and responsive. I would rate them as a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What was our ROI?

After experiencing an attack, we upgraded to Trend Micro and have seen a significant improvement in security. The investment feels fair for the protection we receive.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Trend Micro Email Security may not be the cheapest option, but the investment is worthwhile for enhanced security.

What other advice do I have?

Trend Micro Email Security uses AI, along with its XDR solution, to enhance email protection. By accessing intelligence and analyzing attacks, it enables faster investigation and response to security threats, helping to identify vulnerabilities and take proactive measures.

Overall, I would rate Trend Micro Email Security as a ten out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
