Advanced email protection has reduced fraud risks and simplifies compliance workflows
The primary area for improvement in Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the need for more integrations with XDR solutions. Currently, XDR integration exists with Symantec and CrowdStrike, but additional integrations are needed. I have found that the CrowdStrike integration, specifically the Falcon integration, has been experiencing issues recently. This represents another area requiring improvement. Integration capabilities are particularly important because companies are increasingly transitioning to their own SOC platforms or SIEM solutions to ensure complete environmental integration and security. MDR technology has emerged as a significant market offering, and Perception Point Advanced Email Security should develop integrations with additional solutions in this space. I am fully satisfied with the functionality of Perception Point Advanced Email Security because we have more than 200 customers using this product. We are retaining approximately 85 to 90 percent of our customers with this solution. All customers are satisfied, and we ourselves are satisfied with the product with no plans to change it. The only area for improvement is the integration capabilities.

Consistent web protection has prevented incidents and supports flexible hybrid security models
I would rate Trend Micro Web Security a nine, but not because I have some issues in mind. I have only seen a bit better product. I was also a McAfee partner some time ago, when there was still McAfee. Some features definitely in McAfee were better than what I see in Trend Micro. I cannot tell what Trend Micro could learn from web security products of their competitors because this product has not existed for at least eight years now for McAfee, and I have no experience with other competitors. But relative to my experience and expertise, I should rate it a ten, but still I am a bit cautious because other products also have great features and these features are not covered 100% by Trend Micro. I cannot tell what additional features I would like to see in the next release, but when I see such a feature, it is very compelling. When you get into a new car and this car has something new and great, adaptive suspension, whatever, you just feel a nice feeling and you want this car. That is how I feel. I have not complained that something is missing from Trend Micro product, but I have seen in specific examples some great ideas in competition.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since implementing Perception Point, we have had zero suspicious emails coming into our inbox, we have seen a 100 percent decrease in attempts, and there have been no false positives."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the speed of scanning emails."
"Perception Point performs a really important part of what our vision is for email security."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security has a correct price point and offers very good email filtering capabilities."
"After integration, the tool is very easy to use. I had a problem with scripts for one customer, but my team did the integration for other customers without issues. So, I think I made a mistake in my integration. Both inline and API work fine."
"It has modules to detect malware and that is a strong point. It has a very nice way of showing you, directly in the product, a lot of details about certain pieces of malware. It goes very deep and even shows you the assembly code. It also does detonations on files and shows you the results in different operating systems. That is very useful."
"Perception Point Advanced Email Security is definitely stable for our needs."
"The solution is used to block malicious items hidden inside a document or PDF file."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The real-time threat detection capability of Trend Micro Web Security has had a positive impact on our security."
"Trend Micro has a good portfolio for security solutions."
"The solution is stable."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"Trend Micro Web Security is used to protect the organizations from shoulder surfing and it also does certain classifications to provide protection not only from a security point of view, but also from a GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) point of view."
 

Cons

"Perception Point Advanced Email Security can be improved by increasing the speed of analysis and delivery."
"They need more customer engagement. The product works very well. The IR works very well when we contact them. However, day-to-day, they should have more in communication with their customers explaining new products and features. There is possibly something that if I would know about it, then I would buy and use it. Maybe I need it. They need to improve their communications."
"This is an option to preview an email in their console, and that could be improved. If you open the preview, then it auto scrolls. Therefore, it is hard to look at the email when it is going to the next page or scrolling. It should not have the auto-scroll."
"The extensive reporting capabilities influence my decision-making process regarding email security as the reporting feature is intermediate. I believe there have been no changes in that part for the last couple of years, and there are no updates."
"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."
"This is an option to preview an email in their console, and that could be improved."
"They could improve their anti-spam engine a little bit, because there are a lot of false positives."
"There is still room for improvement with BEC. There is more work to be done by Perception Point on machine learning and neuro language as well. BEC is very difficult if you don't have a computer language looking into the content of the email and trying to make a determination through that. With BEC you often don't have an attachment or a URL."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"his legacy version currently lacks WFA, which is a useful tool for managing bandwidth and applying data control limits to specific users. It's especially beneficial for organizations using Android and Azure."
"There is room for improvement in the anti-malware capabilities."
"The ease of use depends on the blacklisting of the sites. Some of the authorized sites have been blacklisted, which requires a request to unblock the site."
"They could improve the platform's ability to control normal traffic and prevent attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting."
"The interface could be improved; we need it to be more user-friendly."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
"I would rate the technical support by Trend Micro a three. The response time is poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other solutions on the market, it is relatively fair."
"In Brazil, the dollar price affects the cost. Perception Point Advanced Email Security is about 50 percent less expensive."
"The pricing is not cheap, but I can see the value. In security, if you are trying to save by giving up quality, that's a very bad decision."
"The price of this solution was within our budget and I think that it will suit most SMBs."
"The pricing was fair in comparison with the other solutions. We have received good value for what we paid."
"The solution is neither cheap nor expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"The price of the solution is high."
"We would always like it to be cheaper and save more money. However, we are getting the value from it."
"I don't remember the exact pricing, but I think that it is approximately $10.00 per user."
"The solution is expensive in terms of deployment."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"There's annual and monthly options for the license. When you're on the managed services option, it's monthly. They're also setting up an option via AWS where there will be a monthly option via the AWS shopfront."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"It is pricey. Trend Micro has been in the field for 30 years, so you have to pay a premium amount for that."
"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."
"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."
