George Tsepelis - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…
Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
AI-driven threat detection strengthens security and supports seamless integration

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform is straightforward to install."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The scalability is perfect."
"I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
"Trend Micro Apex One most valuable features are centralized management, ease of use, and help user management. Additionally, it can detect vulnerabilities in the end-users system"
"The ADR capability of Trend Micro has helped us in investigating the root cause for any threat that is hunting by providing us with good visibility of the timeline and activity of the threat."
"We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall."
"The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy."
"Device control works well, and the anti-malware updates are also pretty good. Every two or three weeks, you get updates. The frequency of the release of new definitions is quite good. We had peace of mind."
"Stability is okay."
 

Cons

"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"The solution can be improved to utilize fewer system resources, like memory and hard disk, during scanning."
"We have had some false positives with One Endpoint Security's ransomware detection. We received an alert, but it wasn't a ransomware attack. When we did an investigation, we found it was only malware."
"We want to manage the policies in the group. Currently, if I am at one location and other users are at other locations, the main problem is that we cannot manage policies location-wise. The policy management should be improved. I should be able to group them based on the location. If one location has four policies and another location has the same policy, currently, I have to scroll the screen to find out the policy as per my location."
"If certain alerts could be translated into day-to-day English with some action plans, a few points, what to do, and how to do it, that would help me personally as IT Manager. They have some recommendations regarding the vulnerability of the endpoint. They take you to some very technical information and if you are not a security engineer or security-trained you might not understand what they're talking about. We are a small company and it would benefit if things were explained better, we cannot afford a dedicated Trend Micro Apex One engineer."
"Trend Vision One Endpoint Security should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"Lacking features, not yet fully mature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"On a yearly basis, it's about $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price is reasonable."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"If I compare Trend Micro Apex One with other solutions there are a few challenges for customers who have do not need more licenses. Sometimes the customers struggle because this product is totally an enterprise solution, and the price for the licenses can be expensive for individuals or small organizations."
"It is a little bit more expensive than other solutions."
"It's an annual subscription."
"It's well priced at a yearly rate. The price itself depends on whether the solution is full suite, half suite, or some other engine. It's different according to the consumer's requests."
"Trend Micro Apex One's subscription model is definitely on the expensive side."
