    Advanced email defense has reduced phishing risk and now saves our team many hours each week

    Reviewed on Dec 11, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Perception Point Advanced Email Security  is proactive defense against advanced threats, particularly phishing, zero-day attacks, and malware that a standard filter might miss. I rely on the deep analysis capabilities to protect our users.

    When we receive mail that contains a malicious attachment, the Perception Point Advanced Email Security  analysis helps us significantly.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Perception Point Advanced Email Security offers are its multi-layer dynamic scanning and anti-evasion technology.

    The multi-layer dynamic scanning and activation technology have helped me significantly. When we receive a malicious email, the multi-layer dynamic scanning is an extra capability that Defender does not have, giving us better results in some cases.

    Perception Point Advanced Email Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing risk, improving operational efficiency, and creating a better end-user experience.

    Operational efficiency improves because the platform is highly effective and contains threats automatically, resulting in a very low false positive rate. Our security operation center team spends far less time on triage and manual investigation of routine email alerts. For a better end-user experience, users are less exposed to harmful emails, which leads to fewer incidents of clicking malicious links.

    What needs improvement?

    Perception Point Advanced Email Security can be improved by increasing the speed of analysis and delivery. In some cases, we have trouble with multi-factor authentication emails, which take more than a minute to be received. We need to make some changes in the analysis or the code becomes invalid. Additionally, the API documentation could be improved since when I tried to use the API, it was very difficult to find specific endpoints, and not all of the endpoints are public or on the website. I need to write a ticket to customer support to get the endpoint, so if they have it, I do not understand why it is not public.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Perception Point Advanced Email Security for almost two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Perception Point Advanced Email Security is stable approximately ninety-nine percent of the time. There may be some issues, but they are not significant, usually lasting just an hour or something similar.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    There is no problem with Perception Point Advanced Email Security's scalability.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support for Perception Point Advanced Email Security is very good. They help us a lot, and when we create a ticket, they answer us in one or two hours.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

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

    I previously used Defender, and I am still using Defender at the same time as Perception Point Advanced Email Security.

    What was our ROI?

    I am confident that there is a good return on investment with Perception Point Advanced Email Security. For example, in time saved, I am certain that it saves us a lot of time.

    I estimate that my team saves approximately eight hours each week because of Perception Point Advanced Email Security.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Perception Point Advanced Email Security, we had evaluated other options, specifically Trend Micro Email Security .

    What other advice do I have?

    Perception Point Advanced Email Security is extremely user-friendly, and I would focus on the advanced threat capabilities because they are so advanced. It is not just a simple spam or malware filter; it deals with real-time sandboxing and anti-malware technology against current targeted threats, which is the difference between Perception Point Advanced Email Security and Defender. I rate Perception Point Advanced Email Security an eight on a scale of one to ten because it is very easy to use, and I prefer it. Compared to Defender, it is completely different. Perception Point Advanced Email Security offers just a few menus with a very simple interface, and that helps a lot. The customer support team is also very good, resolving our problems in just a few hours.

    Provides strong email protection and accurate threat detection with effective multi-layer defense mechanisms

    Reviewed on Jun 26, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

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

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Offers real-time threat detection and very good email filtering capabilities

    Reviewed on Apr 01, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

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

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Perception Point Advanced Email Security is very stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

    How are customer service and support?

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

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

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

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

    What other advice do I have?

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

    Has good detection and response capabilities

    Reviewed on Jun 20, 2024
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    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.

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What was our ROI?

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

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

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

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The product is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    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.

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

    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.

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What was our ROI?

    The product generates a good return on investment.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.
