Find out what your peers are saying about Proofpoint, Barracuda Networks, IRONSCALES and others in Secure Email Gateway (SEG)."Proofpoint Email Protection is a good product, and its most beneficial feature is the Threat Response Auto-Pull. I also like that it's an integrated email security solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to remove bad messages that were delivered, prior to being classified as unwanted."
"Provides better control over emails, especially those sent via Office 365 on the cloud."
"Its main defense is to stop malicious emails from coming through. There is a sandbox environment where you can open malicious or suspicious emails to make sure that they're not malicious, instead of taking the risk of having your employees do it. This is definitely something that everybody needs nowadays, especially with the rise in cyber attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the option to edit the inbound security."
"The solution blocks malicious emails containing viruses and malware and reduces them out of spam."
"The setup was easy."
"The solution offers very good flexibility. You can blacklist or whitelist with ease."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"The analysis part is good."
"The Secure Mail aspect should have an Outlook add-in, instead of an external dashboard that outside users have to access."
"The scalability can be improved, and the solution can be optimized."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve the Mail Trace feature and make navigation easier."
"The accessibility of Proofpoint Email Protection, particularly access to product trials, could be improved. It's hard to get a trial for Proofpoint Email Protection, and many customers prefer not just to do the POC or demo but try the product out."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"We find the cost to be prohibitive."
"Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved."
"The solution could lower its price."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
