Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.

Consistent web protection has prevented incidents and supports flexible hybrid security models
I would rate Trend Micro Web Security a nine, but not because I have some issues in mind. I have only seen a bit better product. I was also a McAfee partner some time ago, when there was still McAfee. Some features definitely in McAfee were better than what I see in Trend Micro. I cannot tell what Trend Micro could learn from web security products of their competitors because this product has not existed for at least eight years now for McAfee, and I have no experience with other competitors. But relative to my experience and expertise, I should rate it a ten, but still I am a bit cautious because other products also have great features and these features are not covered 100% by Trend Micro. I cannot tell what additional features I would like to see in the next release, but when I see such a feature, it is very compelling. When you get into a new car and this car has something new and great, adaptive suspension, whatever, you just feel a nice feeling and you want this car. That is how I feel. I have not complained that something is missing from Trend Micro product, but I have seen in specific examples some great ideas in competition.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"Previously, we were working with Norton, and we switched from Norton to Avast because we believe Avast is far superior and a better solution, especially for PC management."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"The installation was simple, and it did not take very long."
"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"Trend Micro has a good portfolio for security solutions."
"Trend Micro has a centralized mechanism where we can control and monitor all system protections. It includes detecting any wireless problems, which will be displayed on our portal. We plan to investigate the issues with those systems internally."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"The solution is stable."
"Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security."
"The EDR feature is very good; it's one of the better features of security and can protect a large percentage of the company."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstations themselves."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"They could improve the platform's ability to control normal traffic and prevent attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The cons include it not being implemented in the mid-enterprise segment. For these organizations, it is an additional expense."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"The interface could be improved; we need it to be more user-friendly."
"Trend Micro products are quite expensive compared to Kaspersky, Sophos, and McAfee."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
