Featured Reviews

Kunjal Haria - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable, easy to scale, and has anti-spam and anti-spyware features, but support needs to be faster and more knowledgeable
I've contacted Forcepoint Email Security support, but I'm not satisfied with the answer speed. It could be a lot faster. I also get more answers on the internet than from the technical support team, so Forcepoint Email Security needs more knowledgeable support. On a scale of one to five, my rating for the technical support of Forcepoint Email Security is three.

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

"The email and the web filter aspects of the solution are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Forcepoint Email Security are the integration with other solutions. It provides a more secure infrastructure and views for the customers from the DLP. You can work on URLs, files, and advanced inspections that will protect the customers."
"I like how versatile the options are. For example, we can set it where we are able to access and browse Facebook but we are denied the ability to post photos. There is also that ability integrate with Office 365 - SharePoint app."
"We have found the product to be stable."
"All of the filtering features are very nice."
"It is good at data leakage prevention (DLP). You can create the data exfiltration profile while sending the emails, which is one of the key advantages of the solution."
"It's easier to deploy than other options."
"Using Forcepoint, we have created policies and rules for any suspicious mail. It is blocked and only released by an admin's approval."
More Forcepoint Email Security [EOL] pros
"Trend Micro is better than any of its competitors."
"The integration capability of the solution is good."
"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 most valuable feature of Trend Micro Email Security is effective phishing prevention."
"Since implementing it, we've seen a significant improvement in security. We no longer receive spam emails, and we're protected from various cyberattacks, including ransomware and social engineering."
"Trend Micro constantly releases new versions and patches based on evolving needs."
"The solution's most valuable feature is ATP (Advanced Threat Protection), which utilizes the machine learning algorithm."
"The most valuable features include email filtering to block spam and phishing attempts, the use of DMARC for email authentication, and robust malware scanning."
More Trend Micro Email Security pros
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The solution could use better integration capabilities."
"We've fixed a couple of issues on the solution so far. It doesn't work perfectly all the time."
"The pricing could always be just a little bit better."
"Forcepoint Email Security is stable, but it could be improved."
"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."
"It would be better if it were simpler to deploy on one or two machines instead of three or four machines."
More Forcepoint Email Security [EOL] cons
"Sometimes malicious email gets past the email gateway."
"In our company, we found out that the solution wasn't well-tested by Trend Micro, resulting in a performance and bandwidth problem."
"I would like to see more integration of Trend Micro Email Security with different platforms."
"Trend Micro Email Security should introduce new features, improvements, and updates which are cost-effective and easy to deploy."
"They need to adjust the spam filtering and make it stronger."
"The company also needs to work on pricing because it is quite costly compared to other products."
"The patch management could improve in Trend Micro Email Security."
"The send box needs improvement to match other products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are three types of support licenses."
"My company pays for Forcepoint Email Security licensing annually."
"Its licensing is quite easy and straightforward. They have two or three suites, and the price is negotiable. It depends upon the size of the deal. They have multiple licenses. The standard is one, and then there are additional licenses that you can go for. There are three or four licensing models. You have the network suite, endpoint suite, email security, and the standard one."
"Licensing is a yearly subscription that is based on the number of users."
"The licensing is user base (per user). The product is purchased mostly by medium to large companies. For smaller companies, we have other solutions because the pricing is not cheap."
"When compared to other email security solutions, the price is not cheap."
"The tool must improve its pricing."
"Trend Micro Email Security's pricing is reasonable."
"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 solution is inexpensive so we recommend it to small to mid-sized businesses."
"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."
"The price is more accessible compared to some other solutions, like FortiMail. It offers excellent value for the price."
"The price of Trend Micro Email Security is more than Sophos' similar solution."
"The price of Trend Micro Email Security is annual. There are no additional fees."
