A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine 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

"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"Parental control"
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
 

Cons

"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
"The main challenge with Trend Micro Mobile Security for iPhone users is the complex setup process due to Apple's stringent security requirements."
"Contact Backup."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Very cheap in cost"
"Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
