It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The most valuable feature is protection against malicious links, fishing, and impersonation. You can train people to be aware of these threats, but they're not always careful. When they're using their phones between meetings, they click on a link, and it's game over."
"The product's scalability is good."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."

If there are any particular keywords in the subject, that we want to block from receiving from a particular person we can do it.

"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."

"In our company, we found out that the solution wasn't well-tested by Trend Micro, resulting in a performance and bandwidth problem."

"The send box needs improvement to match other products."
"The patch management could improve in Trend Micro Email Security."
"The capacity handling and the scalability of the solution need to be improved since I feel Trend Micro lacks in such areas."
