Offers comprehensive security, easy integration, and good support
It integrated easily. About 99% of the time, we do not face any challenges in integrating any product of Trend Micro with the existing network. It is usually compatible with all kinds of networks. They have recently added AI to all Trend Micro products. It makes life a little bit easier by catching viruses, providing solutions, and helping out whenever you are stuck somewhere. It is one of the very good features they have right now. For example, one of our clients experienced a network attack and became confused about resolving the issues. The AI was helpful by suggesting initial steps to solve the problem.

Cons

"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."

There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
"The patch management could improve in Trend Micro Email Security."
"The company also needs to work on pricing because it is quite costly compared to other products."

"While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."
"The solution's interface, which we get from an admin perspective, sometimes gets confusing."
"The initial setup was straightforward. This is a virtual appliance, it takes a short time to deploy the solution. However, it is not difficult if you understand the technology.
