Provides reliable real-time email protection and offers competitive pricing features

Regarding Kaspersky Security for Mail Server, I have not compared with other solutions, but I will compare and provide feedback. It is a reliable and fast security solution, and I can say it blocks better than other competitor software. Kaspersky Security for Mail Server has support for Windows and Linux, but regarding improvement, I have to dig deep and will have to do research on that. I have not checked into much detail about what can be better in Kaspersky Security for Mail Server. I have checked in general. If given some time, I can check and compare with other solutions.

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

"I find the product valuable because it provides easy integration with other platforms like Fortinet firewalls."

"The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution."

"We have achieved cost savings of up to thirty percent by using Kaspersky Security for Mail Server."

"The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup."

"You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail."

"Trend Micro Email Security has a feature for secure protection of OneDrive, Google Drive, and CloudApp security."

"The tool provides a strong defense against attacks. It is also easy to use. Trend Micro Email Security's integration capabilities are great."

"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 Vision One has helped to reduce my time to detect and respond to threats; it was our gateway for almost 12 years."

"Trend Micro Email Security’s most valuable feature is spam filtering."

"The email and the signature based protection is the most valuable feature."

Cons

"The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement."

"Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on."

"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't."

"Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users."

"I rated the overall solution a five out of ten. If a user is looking for a low-budget solution with mid-level security without AI features, Kaspersky Security for Mail Server is suitable."

"The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license."

"I have only made contact via email, and it is a little slow. I would give customer service a rating of six or seven. Improving Spanish support would greatly benefit users."

"It is a bit expensive than the market price."

"The only negative thing about Trend Micro Email Security is its price. It could be less expensive."

"The capacity handling and the scalability of the solution need to be improved since I feel Trend Micro lacks in such areas."

"Trend Micro Email Security could improve by advancing its artificial intelligence in email security. There are rules that have to be configured. There should be less configuring."

"There needs to be more documentation for the product."

"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."

"The company also needs to work on pricing because it is quite costly compared to other products."

"The product must provide better customization features."

"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."
