Sentiment score
7.1
Trend Vision One offers cost-effective automation, improving security and efficiency while reducing labor costs and enhancing threat protection.
Our company went through a ransomware event, and if Trend Vision One had not stopped it, that could've closed the company's doors.
Trend Vision One has improved our ROI by 30 percent.
Thankfully, we also had cyber security insurance, and the insurance covered the incidents because, through Trend Micro and the implementation of the solution, along with the data it provided, we were able to demonstrate what had happened.

Digital Guardian offers 24/7 global customer support with quick issue resolution, though some users face delays and varying service quality.
Sentiment score
7.0
Trend Vision One's customer service is generally praised for responsiveness, but experiences vary, highlighting regional and escalation challenges.
It's not just about high-level support with the chatbot; rather, when an issue occurs, we have the experts on-site and ready to respond swiftly, which is crucial.
Trend Micro supported us throughout the transition from on-prem servers or other vendors, providing top-notch service at all times.
The engineers are not readily available.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Digital Guardian is scalable, handling hundreds to thousands of users efficiently, with unified server management and straightforward licensing.
Sentiment score
8.0
Trend Vision One provides strong cloud-based scalability, seamlessly adapting to company growth, integrating smoothly with existing systems for flexibility.
I’d give scalability a 10 because nearly everything is integrated.
Our growth over the past three years has never caused performance or expansion issues.
I don't think I've encountered any issues with scalability; we're growing steadily, and I believe Trend Vision One can keep up with our demand.
 

Stability Issues

8.3
Trend Vision One is stable and reliable, rarely encountering issues, and often surpasses previous solutions in performance.
Trend Vision One works exactly as intended and has never hindered our operations, feeling more a collaborator than a roadblock.
The stability is very high.
Stability is critically important for us with Trend Vision One; it is very stable, providing continuous 24/7 support.
 

Room For Improvement

Digital Guardian needs better Linux/Mac support, stability, compatibility updates, multilingual dictionaries, pre-sales support, partner program, and technical support.
Trend Vision One needs improved integration, reporting, usability, and automation to enhance threat detection efficiency and reduce false positives.
The deployment can be complex, and we'd like an easier process, especially when integrating with on-prem and cloud environments.
For XDR threat investigation, there is not enough documentation about how to search for different keywords.
There is increasingly a blending of the traditional OT world, which requires a specific focus, as OT devices often don't use standard Ethernet protocols and similar technologies.
 

Setup Cost

Trend Vision One pricing is generally fair, offering competitive value and flexibility, though some features require additional payment.
I find the credit model non-transparent—you can't always tell how many licenses apply to which product.
I have seen others that are double or triple the price.
Trend Vision One offers a competitive price-to-value ratio.

Highly customizable, helpful support, and multiple modules available
Digital Guardian is generally considered stable, with its robust data loss prevention capabilities being highly valued by organizations. However, as with any complex software solution, there may be occasional challenges in terms of compatibility with certain operating systems or applications. In such cases, it may be necessary to modify settings or entries within Digital Guardian to ensure optimal performance. Overall, Digital Guardian is a stable solution that can be highly customized to meet the specific needs and requirements of organizations. As with any software solution, regular maintenance and support from a team of experts is necessary to ensure optimal performance and stability.
Dennis Niedling - PeerSpot reviewer
The CREM feature is an absolutely essential feature that helps us meet security requirements
Since we started using Trend Vision One, we've been able to enhance our security posture significantly. Trend Vision One has improved significantly over time in providing centralized visibility and control. It started as a set of individual products, but now it feels like one integrated solution. This reduces the need for interfaces or multiple analysis tools. That's why we pursued the one-platform strategy. Trend Vision One has definitely helped consolidate our use of security vendors. We previously used standalone products for endpoint and email protection that weren't integrated. Now, we get the benefits of an integrated solution. I'd estimate we're 50–70% better in security now than we were two years ago. The Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)feature is absolutely essential. Even though we're not critical infrastructure, the NIS2 directive gives us security guidelines. CREM helps us meet these requirements. It is very important to our organization that Trend Vision One integrates AI into the platform. Pattern recognition in forensic data is no longer manageable by humans due to the volume of events. Machine learning is essential to process these and filter what needs human attention. Trend Vision One has improved our organization significantly. Security tasks used to be manual. Now, technology prevents issues or supports staff in detecting them. This shift from manual to technical solutions greatly increased our security. Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats. I'd say we're 80% faster than before. The platform gives us consolidated data upfront, so we don't have to search for event clues manually. Trend Vision One has helped reduce false alarms. I'd estimate a 50–60% time saving. We have more alerts now than years ago, but also better systems to handle them, making the whole process more efficient. Trend Vision One has helped reduce our cyber risk overall. We now know where gaps are before they become problems, whereas in the past we had to guess. That's a massive improvement. When it comes to operations, the CREM solution helps us identify vulnerabilities in systems. If we patch them, they disappear from the reports—this gives us actionable insights, which is incredibly helpful. It took about half a year to realize the benefits of Trend Vision One after implementation.
