Trend Micro ServerProtect Reviews

At our company, we use Trend Micro ServerProtect for almost all the servers, including Windows servers and web servers. The solution is able to meet the server security expectations. 

Trend Micro ServerProtect has improved our organization by allowing content filtering and adding proxies to content filtering. 

Currently, we use it for end-point server protection in our hybrid environment. We have it installed on our infrastructure servers, and it helps improve server performance and provides antivirus capabilities. 

Additionally, we utilize the big security feature for server environments, which is specifically designed for Java.

Basically, during nighttime operations, when data usage is high, Trend Micro CyberProtect ensures smooth and uninterrupted processing within our server environment. It has had a positive impact on our overall operations. We have been using this solution for several years now.

Regarding use cases for Trend Micro ServerProtect, the EDR and XDR use cases are now considered older, as most customers have already implemented those parts with Trend Micro and CrowdStrike.

Now, customers are looking for advanced tools such as Cloud Security Platforms and CASB solutions to protect data. The current Indian market is relatively dull concerning DLP, EDR, and endpoint security, so they focus on other security solutions because they have already purchased and implemented many things.

From my reseller and consultant perspective, the most beneficial aspects of Trend Micro ServerProtect are its user-friendly console, allowing anyone to configure policies easily, and the excellent support provided.

Trend Micro works based on a credit system with Trend Vision One, where if the customer scales up with a large number of endpoints, the credit will also increase, meaning they would need to pay more next time, but the licensing model is flexible, and there's no issue with that.

I am actually a reseller for Trend Micro. I do not use the ServerProtect product for my environment, I only resell the company's products. Our clients use it for multiple purposes on-demand, like using it as an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), for Virtual Batching, or for application control. Those are only some of the use cases. There are many and they apply as per the needs of the particular client.  

There is some feature in ServerProtect called Virtual Batching, which helps to protect other servers in a system from threats or exploits. That is one of the most useful features. Then there is an anti-malware component with behavioral analysis and machine learning. That is also a very good feature of the product that provides a high-level of intelligent security.  

I use the solution for endpoint security on my PC. 

The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities.

The solution is also very easy to use. 

I mainly use ServerProtect to protect servers from ransomware attacks.

ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions.

We use Trend Micro ServerProtect for virtual patching. It also provides full security that is specific to the service, e.g. it is able to handle the VMs (virtual machines) way better.

What I find most valuable in Trend Micro ServerProtect is virtualization. It installs on the virtualization node instead of installing on all of the guests, and this means communication between the VMs on a specific host is also covered.

You don't need an agent for each of the VMs, e.g. you don't need to install it on each virtual node, because you can just install it on the host, and that is brilliant. Trend Micro ServerProtect protects all guests on the VMs, and it also protects against internal communication between the VMs.

I've talked about my use case in the other reviews for Apex One and Apex Central. 

Performance is very good.
