Mahendra Basera - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Engineer at InterGlobe Technology Quotient
Improved email threat visibility and security posture through adaptive reputation and analytics
I have experience with Cisco and other vendors like Sophos. I have more than 10 years of experience in this field. I worked with the Adaptive Reputation Management feature of SonicWall. Machine learning plays an important role in updating threat intelligence, particularly with SonicWall. The pricing for SonicWall Email Security is reasonable and budget-friendly. My overall rating for SonicWall Email Security is 8 out of 10 because, apart from the areas that need improvement, it was overall good.
Jorge Abalo - PeerSpot reviewer
Endpoint Security Analyst at BNP Paribas
Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very scalable solution."
"There are no wasted extras and the interface is really simple, so even if you don't have an IT background you can understand the working procedure and how systems are monitored."
"According to our customers, the product's most valuable feature is the ability to detect spam and reduce phishing emails."
"SonicWall Email Security has benefited the company by preventing attacks, protecting us from threats such as ransomware and phishing, and notifying the IT team when phishing emails have been blocked."
"The product is easy to manage in terms of configurations."
"This solution provides very good email security that protects us against spamming and malware."
"The anti-spam aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The pricing for SonicWall Email Security is reasonable and budget-friendly."
"FireEye ETP has blocked several campaigns that lead to the post compromise deployment of ransomware, Obfuscated Outlook Phishing impersonation, Attachment based Phishing."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"Many similar solutions don't normally protect clients from malware, but FireEye does a very good job of protecting systems."
"After implementing Trellix Collaboration Security, we have not encountered any incidents related to ransomware."
"The product protects my email."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"The major features of Trellix Collaboration Security are URL analysis and file inspection, which are considered the crown of the product."
"Before installing, consider potential challenges with system performance, especially when integrating multiple tools, which could slow down performance."
 

Cons

"I am not satisfied with phishing protection, as it falls completely under the email domain security."
"SonicWall Email Security could improve by making the file blocking and the release feature easier to use"
"The after-sale support needs improvement. They don't have representation in my country."
"We would like to see more information on a dashboard about what is happening when it comes to spamming and malware."
"The protection level for email security isn't 100%. I'm still getting some spam and junk mail."
"Updates could be released more frequently."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Overall, this is a solution that provides good security but at a very high cost."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"We're not really that satisfied with technical support. They are too slow to respond."
"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."
"The solution needs better support."
"I chose a nine out of ten because some improvements are required, especially concerning East-West traffic or zero-day vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers purchase the solution's yearly license."
"I rate the application’s pricing a five out of ten."
"We have a two-year license subscription and the price is very high."
"The overall price of SonicWall Email Security should be reduced and there should be an option to purchase one or two licenses more instead of their current policy of bulk increases only. There should be more flexibility in the licensing model. Each license cost approximately $33 annually."
"When compared with Cisco, it is very well priced. Cisco is very expensive."
"The platform offers a yearly license."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The cost is very high."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
