We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Email and Trellix Collaboration Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has improved my organization's security. It makes it easier to manage the infrastructure without the help of third-party applications."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"The strong point of the solution is that we hardly get any spam emails because of Cisco Secure Email."
"Anti-Spam and Advanced Malware Protection are the most valuable features... and we also have the option to block Zero-day attacks."
"It's flexible. There are a lot of rules and policies that can be easily applied for certain employees or certain mailboxes."
"It does a great job of preventing spam, malware, and ransomware. I can only go by what people have told me and what I've seen, but I have not seen spam in a year and a half to two years in my own company mailbox. And there are not a lot of catches where it's catching something that should have gotten through, either."
"This solution provides some benefits, like comfortable access to TAC support. You get prompt support when working directly with Cisco."
"The solution is very configurable. It has enabled us to configure some specific filters to stop emails that general configurations didn't stop. It's a powerful solution. It can analyze a lot of emails simultaneously, with no problems of capacity or system load."
"Initially, the most valuable feature for us was the SenderBase Reputation, because that reduced the number of emails that were even considered by the system by a huge number..."
"What I find the most valuable about Cisco Secure Email is that the logs are not that difficult to see even if you're not used to them. The logs are reasonably readable and diagnosing the problem is not too hard with them."
"The initial setup is simple."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."
"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"FireEye is good for malware depicting and security."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"It is not user-friendly, and it is quite complicated. So, it should be more user-friendly."
"The hardware is not up to the mark. Two to three times a year we have complete downtime."
"The user interface is a bit complex."
"I would rate the stability a six out of ten. We had multiple issues with the stability."
"I would like them to add some clustering or high availability features."
"The solution does not have a strong outbound service. It should also integrate DLP."
"While Cisco offers excellent solutions and innovations, the pricing may not be suitable for everyone. The cost of the software is relatively high. In the current market, there are numerous competitive alternatives that focus on security, enterprise networks, and various other aspects. Cisco, being a comprehensive provider, extends its expertise across data, servers, storage, and security, making them a preferred choice for many enterprises. However, when it comes specifically to security solutions, there are other vendors that specialize solely in this domain, offering competitive options."
"I would like to see sandboxing for email, where suspicious emails received by the system are analyzed through online services."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"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."
"The solution needs better support."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
