Great for deepening APT protections but insufficient for scam emails
Pros and Cons
  • "The interface is really good."
  • "The send box needs improvement to match other products."

What is our primary use case?

Our company uses the solution to provide email protection services to customers. 

What is most valuable?

The performance is great.

Function checks for reputation, vaccine, and email systems are better than what is offered by other products. 

The interface is really good. 

What needs improvement?

The send box needs improvement to match other products.

The solution does not check scam emails which is a critical need for our customers. 

It would be beneficial to deepen the ASM and ATO. Phishing emails are really dangerous and steal information so we want to tag them as scams. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is mid-range for stability so I rate it a five out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

I have not used technical support. Our company has an analyst engineer who handles any hardware or malware issues. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also use FireEye EX. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple.

What about the implementation team?

We implement the solution for our customers. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is inexpensive so we recommend it to small to mid-sized businesses. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I distribute the solution to customers because it is inexpensive and will deepen their APT protections. It is appropriate for small or medium-sized businesses. 

I recommend FireEye EX to customers in the mid-priced category because it is SaaS and can be used at the same time as APT for send box management. The mirror feature can run many tests at the same time with good performance. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a six out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Robust with a good antivirus engine and good reliability
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is not overly complex."
  • "While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."

What is our primary use case?

We have implemented the solution for a few clients.

What is most valuable?

The Email Security solution from Trend Micro is quite a strong solution. The antivirus engine is quite strong, which is one thing the partners and clients prefer.  

The biggest selling point is the GUI. The administration is very easy. For anyone who knows a little bit about IT, or is a little bit technical, can run the solution easily and administer it as well.

The initial setup is not overly complex. 

It is a product that offers good stability.

We can scale the solution if we need to.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes, especially when you are hit by ransomware, there are issues. The hardest thing to deal with is spam email, which you can actually protect your network from. They could improve the database or the engine to make it more robust to stop those kinds of emails. Even if an end user tries to open those emails, normally, they will send you the zip file or a website address or something like that, and the end user will get in trouble if they try to open anything. Therefore, if Trend Micro can improve its engine to stop those kinds of new ransomware, that would be a big plus for them. While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet.

It's quite pricey.

In Email Security, they basically pretty much cover everything. They can't add anything else. If they try to add something in, it might also slow down the computers and the process. I don't think they will add anything in the near future.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a while. It's been four to five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable and reliable. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can scale. They have a few products you can add on with Email Security, which can help you secure your network using other security products. Therefore, it is very much scalable.

How are customer service and support?

We've dealt with technical support. They are great. They're on-time and very quick.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I am also familiar with Kaspersky. 

I would rate Trend Micro better than Kaspersky.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex. It takes about an hour or two to have everything set up.

You only need two people to manage the solution if you have around 1,000 users.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost can be pretty high. Due to their cost, it's okay for the enterprise and the corporate level companies. They are the ones who go for Trend Micro Email Security. A small company does not go for it due to the cost. 

I'd rate the solution two out of five in terms of affordability.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a Trend Micro reseller.

The solution could be deployed either on the cloud or on-premises. It depends on the client what he actually requires. Both of them have similar kinds of features. No one is better than the other, however, personally, I prefer on-premises.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
