Fabio Amorim Araujo - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good detection and response capabilities
The solution is very easy to use. We don't have any difficulty with transactions. Finding information, customizing configurations, and getting support or documentation is simple. I don't have any negative points to mention. I would recommend this solution to others. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a ten. It's amazing for us—the protection, the analysis time compared to Microsoft 365, and the pricing are all good. We're using both solutions—spam and protection channels. Recently, we presented two-week results to a customer, and they liked them and wanted to buy the solution. Our feedback is positive. We're developing a strategy to increase sales of the solution. When we deliver executive summaries to customers, we present good news about our company and discuss how Perception Point Advanced Email Security can help improve their security.

Provides comprehensive protection for enterprises
The cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense. Even companies with multi-tenant, multi-cloud, and multi-geolocation environments are not using this WAF solution because it is an investment. They already have endpoint protection, EDR, firewalls, and authentication. Spending on WAF is an extra investment for them. This is one reason mid-enterprise segments hesitate to adopt it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We haven't had a client, who uses their protection, have an email security breach. That is the best thing about what they do. We don't have to think too much. Their product just works and keeps bad emails away."
"The solution is used to block malicious items hidden inside a document or PDF file."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security has a correct price point and offers very good email filtering capabilities."
"Another feature that we really like, one that was introduced a few months back, is the way it categorizes threats into groups, such as Emotet, Qbot, Formbook, and the like. It's not only telling you that something is malware, but it's also giving you insight into what kind of malware... You understand what you are facing and whether you are a target for a specific group of threats..."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the speed of scanning emails."
"One of the most valuable features is the service provided by the incident response team. There have been cases where we have suspected that emails were fraudulent or something was suspicious. In those cases, we immediately contacted the incident response team through the platform, and we had a response in less than a minute."
"The most valuable feature of Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the filtering and securing of emails."
"It really works well on SharePoint when you upload a file or save a file. Advanced Email Security scans if it is malicious and identifies issues. It can do some forensics on its console, which is nice."
"It's a stable solution."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"The solution is stable."
"Overall, I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Web Security stems from the fact that it is neither a cheap nor an expensive tool."
 

Cons

"They can do better on the spam. Today, Perception Point is not our only solution. We have two solutions, and they are the second in line because the spam filtering is not yet the best."
"Email alerts should be available in real-time."
"Integration and end-user interaction can be improved as the current system does not allow end-users to send back information to the platform, unlike Google Workspace or competitive tools like Ironscales."
"It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions."
"From a forensics point of view, it could improve a bit more from a threat intelligence aspect. So, if I find a malicious email, they could have more investigations about sources, headers, where it comes from, if they have seen it in other campaigns before, etc. I would like a little bit more from a threat intelligence point of view so I can understand who else might be affected and attacked as well as the vectors of attack."
"They could provide additional data loss prevention features as we encounter different kinds of attacks in today's scenario."
"Our users would like the solution to scan outgoing emails. So, if my system is compromised, and I have malicious content in my system, then there is a possibility that I am sending a colleague that malicious content."
"In terms of architecture, and I know that they're going to improve this, the solution needs to be much more redundant. There was an outage a month ago in AWS, and that basically stopped the service for two or three hours. Although in two years, this was the first time that something like that happened, our expectation from a company like Perception Point is that it should work with either a multi-cloud or multi-region architecture, to improve the resilience."
"The cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense."
"They could improve the platform's ability to control normal traffic and prevent attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In Brazil, the dollar price affects the cost. Perception Point Advanced Email Security is about 50 percent less expensive."
"The price of the solution is high."
"It fits every budget. It has a low price. I can't go ahead and sell it for any price I want. They are quite strict. They say, "This is the price that you can sell it for and this is the price for you as a reseller." That is it. It is not a lot of money. I will not become rich from it, but I like that they keep a standard for everyone. They are a fair company."
"We were able to get reasonable pricing that matches the ROI we want, so I think that it is the correct price point."
"Pricing is lower in comparison to Proofpoint."
"We would always like it to be cheaper and save more money. However, we are getting the value from it."
"The price of this solution was within our budget and I think that it will suit most SMBs."
"The pricing compared to the value Perception Point brings is super-competitive. They're not the cheapest in the market, but the value and the quality of the product are superior to anything else in the market, so we don't mind paying more for it."
"The license is yearly and user based."
"I don't remember the exact pricing, but I think that it is approximately $10.00 per user."
"We have found this product to be very cost effective. The endpoint product costs roughly $20, and when purchasing the endpoint product, there are multiple other features included."
"It is pricey. Trend Micro has been in the field for 30 years, so you have to pay a premium amount for that."
"The solution is expensive in terms of deployment."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
