Featured Reviews

John Zupancic - PeerSpot reviewer
Pricing that is competitive, excellent technical support, and email security
They do a better job of distinguishing between what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we've tried. They are very easy to use. We don't have as many problems with email security. They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use Zix email Encryption for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent.
Nadeem Syed - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers comprehensive security, easy integration, and good support
It integrated easily. About 99% of the time, we do not face any challenges in integrating any product of Trend Micro with the existing network. It is usually compatible with all kinds of networks. They have recently added AI to all Trend Micro products. It makes life a little bit easier by catching viruses, providing solutions, and helping out whenever you are stuck somewhere. It is one of the very good features they have right now. For example, one of our clients experienced a network attack and became confused about resolving the issues. The AI was helpful by suggesting initial steps to solve the problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to use and user-friendly. Users can also easily release spam emails."
"They are very easy to use."
"Trend Micro Email Security scans all email attachments because, nowadays, ransomware or malware files are sent through email attachments."
"Some people can hack our system by sending emails from our domain to our domain. This is blocked completely by Trend Micro."
"Trend Micro Email Security’s most valuable feature is spam filtering."
"Trend Micro Email Security has a feature for secure protection of OneDrive, Google Drive, and CloudApp security."
"The product is quite strong, and that is one reason most clients are replacing their existing email security solutions with it."
"It does a good job of ensuring users are not compromised via email."
"It is mostly stable."
"Trend Micro is better than any of its competitors."
 

Cons

"It needs to make sure that the application is up to date with new attacks. They should also send us the demo or introductions for their new incoming features."
"Email security checks contain a small number of false positives."
"The capacity handling and the scalability of the solution need to be improved since I feel Trend Micro lacks in such areas."
"There is a limitation when customers are using their email from a third-party solution that isn't from Trend Micro."
"There is room for improvement in mobile device management. The company also needs to work on pricing because it is quite costly compared to other products."
"There is room for improvement in threat detection, especially for advanced attacks and business email compromise."
"It was crucial because if remediation can be done in one or two clicks, in Trend, we have to do at least eight clicks to achieve the same result."
"Trend Micro Email Security can improve on scam detection. It could use AI in this area."
"The solution's configuration policy should be easier."
"The initial setup was straightforward. This is a virtual appliance, it takes a short time to deploy the solution. However, it is not difficult if you understand the technology. You must have good knowledge of the email security area to set up the product correctly. There are many features in this solution and a high risk of having mistakes with the configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can rate it five out of ten because there are different platforms that also offer the same services for lower prices. But AppRiver is more flexible."
"They're fairly inexpensive, but they're right in the ballpark of most of the other online products like that."
"The price is more accessible compared to some other solutions, like FortiMail. It offers excellent value for the price."
"It's a VPN solution. Trend Micro is reasonably priced."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"Trend Micro Email Security's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is very optimum, given its quality, features, and stability."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a one on a scale of one to ten, where ten is expensive. Annual payments are made for the licensing."
"It is expensive. The cost is per box, and it depends on how big your environment is. Prices range from 11 to 12 dollars for licenses and can fluctuate up and down, but for environments with 4,000 to 5,000 users, it can be between 6 to 8 dollars."
"The price of Trend Micro Email Security is annual. There are no additional fees."
