Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security.
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable features are safe attachments and safe links."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The product's scalability is good."
"It also gives the vulnerability status according to the versions you have selected. Let's say you have Google Chrome. It mentions the versions it has, and it updates. Within two hours of an update, it is reflected in the dashboard. That's really nice to have."
"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."
"The email and the web filter aspects of the solution are the most valuable features."
"The filtering of the solution is very good. You can do URL filtering and, while you need a custom URL to filter under other solutions like Symantec, here the solution covers most categories and the database."
"Unlike other competitors, it doesn't cause any performance issues."
"All of the filtering features are very nice."
"Using Forcepoint, we have created policies and rules for any suspicious mail. It is blocked and only released by an admin's approval."
"The feature I find most valuable is the web, email and DLP integration."
"This is a reasonably stable solution."
"The Forcepoint Email Security roadmap easily integrates with the data loss prevention (DLP) suite of Forcepoint. Therefore, the customer doesn't have to buy another solution for DLP."
"It is mostly stable."
"Trend Micro Email Security is a robust solution with quick performance. It works autonomously without the need for an administrator."
"Trend Micro Email Security scans all email attachments because, nowadays, ransomware or malware files are sent through email attachments."
"The best features are that it is very convenient to configure new rules onto it and it gives very good insight on what has entered my system and what the email security solution has taken action upon."
"The solution's initial setup process was easy since it was deployed on the cloud."
"Trend Micro constantly releases new versions and patches based on evolving needs."
"Trend Micro Email Security’s most valuable feature is spam filtering."
"The most valuable features of the solution are spam protection and email continuity."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"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 company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"It's quite difficult to learn this solution, it's not an entry level product. If you are a skilled user you will think it's a very useful tool, but if you are not a skilled user, you'll think it is very difficult to learn."
"The solution could use better integration capabilities."
"Customer support could be better."
"Forcepoint is the best for DLP, but it is not better than other solutions in terms of phishing emails or threat protections on the email. It has less visibility over there. They might need to enhance these components because other solutions, such as Cisco Email Security and IronPort, have more advanced features. Forcepoint should focus more on threats and spam. They have a small database for spam. They must increase their solution's capability from this perspective."
"Forcepoint Email Security is stable, but it could be improved."
"An area for improvement in Forcepoint Email Security is technical support. The agents need to be more knowledgeable. The support also needs to be faster."
"I would like for deployment to be simplified."
"This solution could be improved by providing further functionality to reduce or to block ransom attacks, cross-site scripting and man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The tool's dashboard is old."
"While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."
"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."
"They need to adjust the spam filtering and make it stronger."
"The only negative thing about Trend Micro Email Security is its price. It could be less expensive."
"The enterprise security feature needs improvement."
"It is a bit expensive than the market price."
"There is room for improvement in threat detection, especially for advanced attacks and business email compromise."
