Advanced Threat Protection for Email and Collaboration

Perception Point Advanced Email Security  has helped me significantly in preventing phishing attacks, especially those delivered through URLs. Any URL-based phishing attack that comes through is being caught by this feature.

The features that I find most valuable in Perception Point Advanced Email Security  include the account takeover attempt detection, which is worth mentioning. Recently, they introduced people posture and partner posture, which functions as a kind of SSPM, SaaS security posture management, especially for the users. For our users, we can identify any high-risk users or any account takeover items coming for our users, and those features are excellent and recently included in Perception Point Advanced Email Security.

The multi-layered threat detection is working well, and it is a very good feature. Multi-layered detection has introduced many algorithms, and it is being updated every day.

I believe the anti-phishing feature is also good, as it is utilizing phishing AI and ML technology combined with image recognition technology. It is working as expected.

I would like to improve reporting in Perception Point Advanced Email Security, along with adding options in the console where customers or users can create policies. That is what we are currently lacking; we need customized policies that we can create according to proofs of concept. If a customer is receiving cybersecurity advisory from any organization or their own company, it would be better if we could create an option to establish policies so that the AI and ML engine will work accordingly to those policies. Currently, they have the feature, but we need to request them in the backend, and they will be doing it for us from the backend. This process is difficult for us, as every time we want to make policy adjustments, we have to send them an email or get support. It is challenging sometimes for some customers when this type of advisory or policy change request occurs.

I would like to see custom reports as an additional feature in the future to make it better. Some customers might require customized reporting based on their requirements and priorities. Seamless integration with other security solutions is also something I recommend.

Third-party tools such as other XDR  or SIEM  tools or other MDR tools would benefit from seamless integration as well.

I have been working with Perception Point Advanced Email Security for more than three years.

I would rate their technical support as good, very good. Even though the acquisition happened, the support remains good until now, and I can rate it 4.5 out of five.

The initial setup for Perception Point Advanced Email Security is very straightforward and also very transparent. There is nothing happening behind the scenes; everything is visible, and we set it up while having control over it. Even when the system scans emails and all, we maintain control over Office 365  or G Suite, whatever email security or service provider that we are using.

I recommend that Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the best option in the market at the moment; however, we can say that Check Point and Proofpoint are competitors in the UAE market. They are also in competition with this, but feature-wise and detection rate-wise, Perception Point Advanced Email Security is ahead of these solutions.

I assess the effectiveness of Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction technology as 4.5 out of five. FortiMail  is now investing in Perception Point Advanced Email Security, and it is now under FortiMail  Workspace Security. Fortinet is investing significantly in research and development, which is why new features are coming up. In terms of technology, Perception Point Advanced Email Security or FortiMail Workspace Security is top-notch in the industry. However, we cannot say it is a pure Fortinet family product because, based on the architecture, it is still a standalone product. We do not know about the future, but perhaps they will integrate it with Fortinet data centers, and then we can say it is a pure Fortinet family product. After the acquisition, they introduced FortiCloud  integration into FortiMail Workspace Security, which is also a good feature for customers or users having Fortinet or FortiGate firewall and FortiCloud  in their environment. With EDR, threat correlation can be seamlessly done from FortiCloud with ease.

The extensive reporting capabilities influence my decision-making process regarding email security as the reporting feature is intermediate. I believe there have been no changes in that part for the last couple of years, and there are no updates. Intermediate reports come in weekly, quarterly, and monthly, and we can schedule them. Automation is also included, as we can schedule the reports based on our requirements, and they will arrive in the inbox. They have introduced a graphical report, which is the one change that we can see in the reporting structure. However, there are no other types of reports or additional reports that exist in FortiMail Workspace Security.

In evaluating the success of sandboxing features in identifying threats in Fortinet, I find that they have two sandboxes in FortiMail Workspace Security. One is CPU, and the other is application, allowing for two levels of sandboxing. The metrics I use include application testing to see how effectively it detects or scans application-level malware or application-level executables. I also check for system-level executables such as EXE or MSI files, which can disrupt or modify system registry files or C-level programs. Perception Point Advanced Email Security shows very good results in that testing metric.

My experience with the pricing of Perception Point Advanced Email Security indicates that it is not costly, but actually a very decent price. With the features, functionalities, and detection capabilities that FortiMail Workspace Security provides, it is worth the investment. The need for human intervention is minimal. We have customers who have replaced Mimecast or other technology-based solutions with Perception Point Advanced Email Security or FortiMail Workspace Security, reporting that their challenges have reduced by approximately 95%. They no longer need to come to Perception Point Advanced Email Security every time to create policies or to check for false negatives or false positives. In Perception Point Advanced Email Security, it is very easy to manage, and that is the real feedback from the customers. I would rate this product 8.5 out of 10.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
