Adds a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments
The tool's deployment is easy. HP Wolf Security's deployment was a swift process since it was initially compatible with Windows 10, the operating system on both machines. However, when I transitioned to Windows 11, I encountered minor issues that prompted me to delve deeper into Wolf Security to fine-tune security settings according to my preferences. While I mostly used default settings, there was an initial adjustment where I disabled the AI function related to malware. Currently, the system is running smoothly with no reported issues. Adjusting some settings raised concerns about compatibility between HP Wolf Security and Norton 360. Specifically, aspects of HP Wolf Security, such as the virtual machine component, intrigued me, but I hesitated due to potential conflicts. During my investigation, Windows 11 raised a flag, questioning the system's security settings with Norton 360 and HP Wolf Security. However, it seems that they coexist well without causing issues.

Offers a single console to control all applications and URL filtering
I am satisfied with the malware detection capabilities of the solution. At our company, using the product we haven't found any incidents or threats that couldn't be easily resolved. Most of the customers of Trend Micro ServerProtect in our organization belong to the Healthcare industry. I have witnessed smooth integrations with Trend Micro ServerProtect. I haven't yet noticed any AI capabilities in the product. I would recommend others to adopt Trend Micro ServerProtect as it can be easily installed and managed. The product assists in administration. The solution is a perfect fit for the SMB segment. I would rate Trend Micro ServerProtect an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack. We continue to have less user impact through a significantly reduced amount of malware infections. It's become a non-event."
"The most valuable feature is the process isolation because it simply stops malware from infecting the machines."
"Now, instead of us having to go through that analysis, they actually give us a monthly report that shows us: "Here's what you got hit with, here's what would have happened, here are the forensics behind the attack," and, obviously, Bromium stopped it."
"I use HP Wolf Security to add a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments."
"We've been able to isolate and prevent malicious code from external email attachments and from downloaded internet files. Those are the two big areas that have really made an impact."
"The feature that stands out the most is that when someone clicks on a link in an email... [if] that link is malicious and it has some malware or keylogger attached to it, when it opens up in that Bromium virtualized browser, there's no chance of it actually being on the machine and running, because as soon as they click that "X" in the upper right-hand side of the browser, everything just vanishes. That is an added plus."
"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."
"The isolation feature is the most important because it prevents attacks."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"The most beneficial aspects of Trend Micro ServerProtect are its user-friendly console, allowing anyone to configure policies easily, and the excellent support provided."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"Performance is very good."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the compatibility with other applications and its stability. It works well with attacks, but it doesn't work well with all software on the clients. There is a lot of troubleshooting and a lot of things that need to be tuned to make it work and not break things."
"The tool behaves differently when I ported to Windows 11."
"Initially, when we came in contact with Bromium a few years ago, it had a nice threat analyst, or a LAVA Pop, which is what they used to call it. Once it detected malware, it would show us the malware's path... I don't see that on the computers now. We only get to see that in the console. I would like to still see that on the individual machines because when we go out to look at a machine, we don't necessarily have access to the console."
"When you deploy, not only is the user asked to reboot their computer, they are also asked to wait for 20 minutes while it sits there and initializes. It definitely impacts the end-user. It takes time away from their day."
"They have always struggled with usability. The protection that it offers you is tremendous, but there's definitely an impact with use of resources on the computer. It's gotten a lot better now with Win 10. But sometimes, when you open up a website, it's going to take longer than it would without Bromium, and it's the same with documents."
"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."
"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms. There are a lot of updates that come out for Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Bromium product needs to be able to keep up quickly with those updates and all the browser updates that are coming out. It's hard to do, but that's really where they need to be more responsive because we end up with problems and then we have to call support to get patches, etc."
"After a major release, there's always a lot of "dust settling." You have to work through all those issues and then you're fine for a while. The problem is, it's stable, it's fine, until the next major release comes out. Then you go back into the cycle again of uncertainty, instability, working through issues until they have patched and remediated all the problems that you're having. It's not unlike any other vendor though"
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."
"The product came as a bundle with the machine."
"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
