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.

I am using the real-time scanning feature in Trend Micro Mobile Security. Whenever a message comes on my WhatsApp, Trend Micro Mobile Security can scan it, and whenever I press and click on that link, it immediately tells me not to click as it's harmful and malicious. It's a very good system; whenever I install any product or application on my mobile phone, the application scanner scans and tells me about the vulnerabilities in the application. Most of the applications I have removed on the recommendation of Trend Micro Mobile Security. I find App Reputation services beneficial. Trend Micro Mobile Security is good at responding immediately and making the user aware of potential threats, which is a significant improvement over my previous experience with Kaspersky mobile security over 10 years ago. As of now, Trend Micro Mobile Security is efficient and a very good solution. Mobile security has a positive impact, as one of my colleagues who didn't use Trend Micro Mobile Security had his WhatsApp hacked while traveling, with the hacker requesting money. The other colleagues and senior executives use Trend Micro Mobile Security on their mobile phones, and when we go to open Wi-Fi, Trend Micro Mobile Security notifies us that it's not safe.

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."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"Parental control"
 

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."
"Contact Backup."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"The only disadvantage I see is that my mobile is very slow after installing this scanner."
"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."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"They could improve the prices of Trend Micro Mobile Security products, which are quite expensive."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
"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."
"Very cheap in cost"
