Featured Reviews

Mostafa Ameen - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced threat detection capabilities with comprehensive incident response features providing robust cybersecurity for organizations
The initial aspect concerns two engines. The first one mentioned is available for searching behaviors directly. The second engine involves the Google Ade tool, which operates on the machine. The challenge arises when attempting to rectify protection rules, causing confusion. It would be beneficial to enhance Rigixs Query. I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.
Nadeem Syed - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick response times enhance client satisfaction while managing multiple security features
On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost. They need to improve their mobile device security solutions compared to competitors like Symantec or Kaspersky. They lack mobile device management features, despite offering security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"I appreciate the detection and response methodology used against virus and ransomware attacks."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is the console."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is that it protects all of the layers."
"The tool has significantly improved threat detection and response times for my clients' organizations. The solution has performed exceptionally well, and my customers are pleased with both the performance of the system and the support they receive."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR has indeed enhanced our customers' threat detection capabilities. Many of our clients are utilizing it and have experienced positive outcomes. Overall, I would recommend it, especially considering the rising popularity of Trend Micro and its excellent product support."
"The features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents. This would allow us to explore the solution better and provide a better presentation to our customers. Addiontaally, there could be more automation features."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive."
"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."
"The main drawback is the lack of local language support in Oman."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost."
"The product could benefit from some improvements in its interface and organization. Functionality-wise, it performs well, but there's room for enhancement in terms of user-friendliness. There are ample resources like documents and videos provided by most vendors to assist users, although reaching out for direct support might not always be straightforward."
"Being cost-effective is crucial, allowing customers with lower budgets to access the services. Offering a range of services at various price points ensures that customers can find suitable options without being compelled to explore alternative products or vendors."
"I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"There is a subscription needed to use Trend Micro Managed XDR. We are on an annual license."
