ROI

Sentiment score
6.0
Trend Micro Email Security is cost-effective, enhances protection, saves money, and improves management efficiency without needing more staff.
I have seen a return on investment with Trellix Collaboration Security; specifically, money was saved and fewer employees were needed because I do not need employees on different sites.
Network & Security Lead at Net-International
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.

I have seen a return on investment from using Trellix Collaboration Security as we have saved time and reduced security incidents, improving our overall effectiveness.

Room For Improvement

Trellix Collaboration Security needs improved reporting, customization, interface, language support, and stronger data loss prevention capabilities.
Trend Micro Email Security needs improved support, integration, reporting, user interface, spam filtering, cost, scalability, and customization.
I would like to see the addition of email digital protection features, such as anti-spam and antivirus, not just sandboxing, in the on-premises solution.

Network & Security Lead at Net-International
Trellix Collaboration Security is working smoothly.
Technical Specialist at VDA Infosolutions Pvt. Ltd.
If there is a product that can provide a centralized view Trend Vision One does, it really grabs the customer's interest because customers usually don't have to buy separate EDR, XDR, or SIEM solutions or a console for their SOC analyst or email security team.
Soc Team Lead at Super Secure
I would apply different policies to classify or categorize emails such as spam or not spam and inspect the content of the email and attachments to check for viruses or malware.
Network And Security Architect Consultant at AssurOne Group SA
There are other areas for improvement with Trend Micro Email Security [EOL], especially with the AI security, where additional protection should be added such as LLM, which is called large language models, AI agents, then there should be a vector database, AI APIs, that integration, and AI-generated contents, which would be great, especially with current features with Mimecast, and especially with the banners.
Project Management IT Infrastructure Infrastructure Officer (Senior ) at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Trellix Collaboration Security's pricing varies, seen as affordable by some but costly for smaller businesses, with flexible licensing options.
Trend Micro Email Security is generally seen as reasonably priced, balancing features and flexibility, though opinions on cost vary.
It is quite expensive and should be reconsidered.

The setup cost was very cheap.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Trellix Collaboration Security is that pricing and setup were reasonable and licensing was straightforward.
Sr Network & System Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Prices range from 11 to 12 dollars for licenses and can fluctuate up and down.
CEO at Haniya Technologies
A great benefit is that if you buy a license for 100 servers and 100 mailboxes, and if your mailboxes increase to 120 while your servers decrease to 80, you can reallocate credits from unused email security to your mailboxes.
Soc Team Lead at Super Secure
This is the biggest consideration companies think about when deciding to implement Trend Micro Email Security.

Featured Reviews

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.
AsadAli - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Team Lead at Super Secure
Centralized protection has transformed email security and incident investigations by reducing false positives and improving behavioral threat detection
The challenges include the challenge of finalizing a product that has all the security features or capabilities that are usually required. For example, if there is an EDR platform that's just monitoring IDS signatures, it won't be as beneficial as one with behavioral monitoring and other critical aspects required according to the best practices of the industry. Additionally, if there is a product that can provide a centralized view Trend Vision One does, it really grabs the customer's interest because customers usually don't have to buy separate EDR, XDR, or SIEM solutions or a console for their SOC analyst or email security team. These challenges consist of managing multiple teams and products. Trend Micro Email Security comes in and solves these problems.Trend Micro Email Security is generally a bit more difficult to implement compared to the rest of the solutions such as network security modules or EDR modules, which are much easier. Trend Micro Email Security has some complexities in implementation, but there aren't any significant shortcomings that require Trend Micro to improve.
