    PhishRod has helped us create mock phishing attacks throughout our company to help teach our users what to look for in a phishing attack. The ability to create custom attacks has helped tremendously because we are able to use attacks related to what we encounter on a daily basis. Creating training phishing attack emails has helped improve our overall security.

    PRO: all companies that need an antispam, antivirus. It should not be activated if it is not possible to deactivate the anti-spam provided by the provider.
    you have to check the in/out of the mail a few days to verify false positives and manage the rules.
    CONS: It is too expensive for small companies, it's better to use services offered by the mail provider.

    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.

    Overall, Trend Micro Email Security does what is designed to do, however, it can be a bit frustrating tweaking the policies to get them just right due to the vagueness of some of the levels of protection available for some of the features (e.g., scales that range from "Low" to "Highest")

    As a reseller, it can be difficult to locate the appropriate support number to call, however, once a case has been opened for a support request, it is generally resolved fairly quickly.

    We tested both PhishRod and Phisher for our security needs. They are similar, but in the end we feel that PhishRod was better suited for our needs. Pricing was better and the ROI as well. We are looking for a long term solution and believe we have found it in PhishRod.

    I think Trend Micro Email Security gave us the best price along with the best overall features. We felt more comfortable using the Email Security along with the other Trend Micro products. It keeps our environment safe and has been a great way to help our end users through email issues. I would defiantly recommend this Trend Micro Email Security product to IT professionals a like.
