It is very well suited for an organization that wants to protect inbound email and use just one product. It may be less appropriate for an organization that is small or has a limited IT support staff.

The product really does everything it can and offers it very simply. In other words, after using it for many years like us, it feels as if the email system could not exist without Trend Micro Email Security. Using email in a corporate structure without this or any other product is the job of brave people.

While Trend Micro Email Security provides enhanced email security capabilities to mitigate most email threats one of the major draw back was certain filters do not provide a wider time frame for searches within a single search.

Return on Investment
  • It would be difficult to determine the exact ROI Symantec Messaging Gateway had on your overall business. However, I can assure you the downtime suffered due to inbound email threats has been reduced to nearly zero in our environment. If IT isn't chasing down ransomware/phishing issues and users aren't staring at a quarantined PC, life is good.
  • There are no negative impacts on ROI that I can think of.

  • eliminating the threat before it enters the organization makes the network more secure
  • You don't have to check all PCs when a user clicks on a fake link because the email is delete before.
  • eliminate spam and ads
