Identifies migration blockers and boosters while facing challenges with platform-specific roadblocks
The solution provides agnostic blockers for platforms as well as for containerization. Within that containerization, it offers generic blockers. However, my project might require it to provide Windows-specific blockers or Linux-specific blockers, as I often work with only one platform at a time. If I received categorization in containerization blockers, it would save time. Understanding only the OS-specific blockers means I would avoid resolving irrelevant issues, thus saving time. Initially, I receive a response from support, however, if there is involvement from R&D or other teams, it may take longer than expected. The support team is challenging when sharing source code. As this is a static code analysis tool, it sometimes requires source code for R&D. However, CAST clients may be restricted from sharing due to business logic and nondisclosure agreements. This creates a challenge, and I may have to share pseudo code or seek client approval, risking escalation.

The executive dashboard offers centralized visibility for added security
We are currently utilizing all three components of Trend Vision One across our entire infrastructure. Trend Vision One is deployed on our servers, provides anti-spam measures for our email through a cloud solution, and functions as an antivirus solution on end-user devices. All three products are sourced from Trend Micro. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security offers centralized visibility across all protection layers, enabling 24/7 monitoring of our environment and immediate issue resolution. If needed, we can also submit a ticket to Trend Micro for assistance. The executive dashboard helps identify abnormalities by highlighting them, allowing for immediate action. The primary benefit of implementing Trend Vision One has been the noticeable increase in network security. Since its implementation, we have observed a significant reduction in attacks on our network. Trend Vision One consolidates security across our network, enabling rapid response capabilities. Trend Vision One helps decrease our threat detection and response time. The platform suggests system improvements as needed, which we then review and implement. Trend Vision One helps decrease the time spent investigating false positives.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers good performance."
"The way it tells you which codebase is more ready for the cloud and which codebase is less ready is very valuable. It works seamlessly with most languages."
"In cloud migration, I use CAST highlight to identify blockers, which are the negative road patterns, and also the boosters, which are positive code patterns."
"CAST Highlight provides a clear overview of the role portfolio and allows users to assess the overall quality of the environment. Users can see where improvements are needed and follow up on trends of the application."
"CAST Highlight is easy to use and has a good dashboard."
"The most valuable features of the CAST Highlight are the interface and there are three notations that are very simple to understand and communicate with."
"The solution provides agnostic blockers for platforms as well as for containerization."
"The most valuable features of CAST Highlight are automation and speed."
"The most valuable features are intrusion prevention and anti-malware capabilities."
"The the most valuable feature is the scanning engine. It does not impact server performance. It's very lightweight."
"Virtual patching is one of the key features, which is executed with their IPS."
"I like the solution's baselines."
"Detection response and cloud conformity are valuable features."
"It has the best EDR functionality for cloud and typical endpoints."
"I use the tool for security solutions. It's a leader in Gartner and Forrester Wave reports. Customers rely on these reports."
"The storage and computing features are valuable."
 

Cons

"There could be potential improvements or additional features added to CAST Highlight to make it better."
"If I received categorization in containerization blockers, it would save time."
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the outset."
"Its price should be better. It is a pretty costly tool. They have two products: CAST Highlight and CAST AIP. I would expect CAST Highlight to have the Help dashboard and the Engineering dashboard. These dashboards are currently a part of CAST AIP, and if these are made available in CAST Highlight, customers won't have to use two different products all the time."
"The reports that describe the issues of concern are rather abstract and the issues should be more clearly described to the user."
"CAST Highlight could improve to allow us to comment and do a deep analysis by ourselves."
"The ease of configuration and customization could be improved in CAST Highlight."
"Currently, we must procure and configure the server hardware independently, as we obtain the software separately from Trend Micro."
"Documentation on cloud architecture and job architecture would be helpful."
"Trend Vision One - Cloud Security should address threats automatically without having user input."
"The workbook insights generate a massive list, making it inconvenient to review."
"The initial setup is easy for someone who operates container platforms on a daily basis. However, it could be difficult for those coming purely from informational security or another field of an IT."
"The dashboard should be a bit more intuitive."
"The firewall configuration should have been automated based on the understanding of the application, utilities, and protocols."
"The pricing can get high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a pretty costly tool. A lot of customers are resistant to using it."
"Basic support is included with the standard licensing feed but it can be upgraded for an additional cost."
"CAST Highlight is an expensive solution. However, CAST Highlight is less expensive than the CAST AIP, but it remains too expensive and the professional services from CAST are also too expensive. The high price is part of the problem with the CAST solutions."
"CAST Highlight is an expensive solution."
"Two years ago, it cost $200 for 20 credits, which was a high cost."
"While Trend Vision One - Cloud Security was a cost-effective solution for us in 2021, we've noticed a recent price increase that makes it less affordable."
"The is price is 25% cheaper than it was a couple of years ago, which is good."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"With everything I deal with, Trend Micro Cloud One's pricing is somewhere in the middle."
"It's a slightly expensive product."
"One year ago, Trend transitioned to a credit system for licensing, which has confused users."
"The pricing for Cloud One is reasonable because my costs scale up and down based on my infrastructure usage."
