Advanced Threat Protection for Email and Collaboration

In the dealership group, we were running about 60,000 emails a month and we were finding that Perception Point Advanced Email Security  was kicking back approximately 30 to 35% of those emails as either being spam, outright malicious, or POAs.

They run us through about seven layers of protection, and the reporting is excellent. I found it to be very effective.

It has a very high level of protection with Perception Point Advanced Email Security . They continually modernize their surveillance. They use a lot of AI. They run it through several layers of detection, deep packet inspection, which takes a lot of horsepower. I just think it is a good system.

Perception Point Advanced Email Security has helped address specific email threats within my organization. I get weekly reporting, and by doing that, I can go and talk to these people directly and make them aware of how many attacks they had and where the attacks are coming from and not only the source of the email, but what category of emails that they are receiving. With the combination of KnowBe4  PhishER, I think it is a good security process that we have in place.

Maybe a couple of improvements on their portal would be good, but other than that, I think it is good.

That is part of their service with Perception Point Advanced Email Security or what we pay for.

I use the detailed reporting feature with Perception Point Advanced Email Security every week. That's what I use to inform people because with a lot of this reporting, you'll find they tailor certain people within a company, upper managers, finance people, etcetera. Therefore, you keep them informed as to where their attacks are coming from. You'll see the attacks hitting numerous people within the dealership, and so you make them aware that email from here is malicious. Half the time they never see it because KnowBe4  filters it out or Perception Point Advanced Email Security does.

It is essential that Perception Point Advanced Email Security integrates with our existing infrastructure for me because it's part of our cybersecurity requirements for our cybersecurity insurance coverage. There are certain companies that are highly recognized within insurance companies that you should use, so Perception Point Advanced Email Security is one.

I think it's a good product as is, and I know they're continually improving their AI detection. I think as it is, Perception Point Advanced Email Security is a really good product. I'd recommend it to everybody.

For what it does, I think pricing for Perception Point Advanced Email Security is fair. You pay on a per-user basis, so I think the pricing is fair for what you get. You log into the portal, and you can do filtering, you can see who got hit with what, where the threats are coming from.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10.

We use Perception Point Advanced Email Security  for email protection against phishing and malicious content.

Perception Point Advanced Email Security  has a correct price point and offers very good email filtering capabilities. Its real-time threat detection feature is better than most.

There are always places for improvement, but this needs deeper thought and planning. Integration and end-user interaction can be improved as the current system does not allow end-users to send back information to the platform, unlike Google Workspace  or competitive tools like Ironscales.

I have been using Perception Point Advanced Email Security for about five years.

Perception Point Advanced Email Security is very stable.

Perception Point Advanced Email Security is very scalable, and I rate its scalability at eight points.

Customer service and support are good, but there is room for improvement in response time.

Positive

The initial setup was very easy. It can be completed by one person.

I evaluated other products, and Perception Point Advanced Email Security was better than others.

I would rate the overall solution an 8 out of 10.

We're using Perception Point Advanced Email Security for several purposes. In one customer, we use it for disclaimers, VIP users, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive personnel.

After integration, the tool is very easy to use. I had a problem with scripts for one customer, but my team did the integration for other customers without issues. So, I think I made a mistake in my integration. Both inline and API work fine.

The features that help detect threats in emails are easy to use. For example, finding out if emails are spam or malicious is simple in security operations. If they're not spam, it's easy to refresh the customer database. The detection and response capabilities are very good, especially for zero-day threats.

To improve the solution, maybe a portal for end users to consult their emails would be helpful. The end user could access the portal and see their emails or events. They could also refresh the names.

We've scaled from 10 to 100 users without any problems. Four customers currently use the solution, and they're all satisfied with the results.

The deployment process is very easy. The documentation is helpful and clear for deployment and configuration. We don't need a lot of resources or people for maintenance. All our clients are in the public cloud.

The return on investment is good because the cost isn't expensive, and it works well with Microsoft.

In Brazil, the dollar price affects the cost. Perception Point Advanced Email Security is about 50 percent less expensive.

The solution is very easy to use. We don't have any difficulty with transactions. Finding information, customizing configurations, and getting support or documentation is simple. I don't have any negative points to mention. I would recommend this solution to others. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a ten.

It's amazing for us—the protection, the analysis time compared to Microsoft 365, and the pricing are all good. We're using both solutions—spam and protection channels. Recently, we presented two-week results to a customer, and they liked them and wanted to buy the solution. Our feedback is positive. 

We're developing a strategy to increase sales of the solution. When we deliver executive summaries to customers, we present good news about our company and discuss how Perception Point Advanced Email Security can help improve their security.

Public Cloud

We use the product to safeguard your organization's email communication from various threats, particularly targeting senior-level employees. The aim is to prevent phishing attempts, spam, and other malicious attacks that often target executives or individuals accessing sensitive information.

The most valuable feature is the technical support services. They are doing a notable work. We can easily send requests to resolve issues in case of malicious attacks. Their response time is good. Additionally, the user interface is accessible. Even users from non-technical backgrounds can easily understand the status and nature of emails, whether they're spam, phishing, or malicious. This user-friendliness stands out as a significant positive point.

They could provide additional data loss prevention features as we encounter different kinds of attacks in today's scenario. It leads to data losses. It would be beneficial to include such functionality.

We have been using Perception Point Advanced Email Security for five months.

The product is stable.

The product scalability has been much appreciated. We do not encounter any lag or downtime. It doesn't impact the email flow aspect as well.

We have used Mimecast before. Their user interface was complex and complicated to navigate. During the POC, it was evident that Perception Point could detect and prevent certain malicious emails that Mimecast had missed.

We switched to Perception Point as it has better reviews than other competitors in email security scenarios.

The initial setup of Perception Point, whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud, was straightforward and efficient. The installation and configuration process took approximately an hour, including onboarding and DNS settings. Compared to other email security solutions, it was a quick setup process, requiring minimal time.

The product generates a good return on investment.

Some features related to the user interface need improvement. While the pricing for email security alone remains reasonable, their additional offerings for collaboration apps like Teams, Zoom, and other web security vendors might entail a slightly higher cost.

I rate Perception Point Advanced Email Security an eight out of ten.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

I use Perception Point Advanced Email Security for the protection of my emails.

I like the fact that Perception Point Advanced Email Security possesses the knowledge and the visibility to figure out what exactly my problems are or what kind of attacks or threats I face. It is a super easy tool that offers me a very easy console to use since it helps me to have a better clarity and understanding of the product.

Dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required. The solution also needs to consider adding DMARC to the tool and providing phishing awareness training since such initiatives can be helpful for users. Usually, I need to opt for a solution to get DMARC and receive phishing awareness training since the aforementioned aspects are not available in Perception Point Advanced Email Security.

I have been using Perception Point Advanced Email Security for three years. I use the solution's latest version since it is an area where the product makes continuous improvements. My company basically functions as a solution provider.

It is a stable solution.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

My company deals with around 40 to 45 users of the solution, and we offer protection to around 7,000 to 8,000 email inboxes with the help of Perception Point Advanced Email Security.

I have contacted the solution's technical support.

My company's clients were using some other solutions like Mimecast, IRONSCALES, and Proofpoint in the past, but my company later managed to replace them all with Perception Point Advanced Email Security.

The product's initial setup was straightforward and can be done in 30 to 45 minutes.

Currently, my company helps others to deploy the product and their environments.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model.

My company did seek the help of an integrator during the deployment process of the product.

Perception Point Advanced Email Security offers an option to its users to make either monthly or yearly payments. The exact amount a user has to pay to Perception Point Advanced Email Security depends on the number of email inboxes protected by the product. If a user only wants protection for email, then the price of the product is okay, but if they opt for the collaboration options offered by the product, then it becomes a little expensive.

To those who plan to use Perception Point Advanced Email Security in the future, I would like to say that it is all about selecting an appropriate partner with the right side of knowledge to help you deal with your issues and help you with the support part whenever required.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.
