Shrikant Pillay - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable security solution that is easy to install
The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.

Provides a single dashboard, integrates well, and has predictive machine learning
Microsoft's new Azure Code Signing is causing a lot of issues for us with One Endpoint Security. We currently have two systems in operation, on-prem and SaaS, and many of the agents won't upgrade beyond version B11564 because these newer versions require Azure Code Signing compliance on the endpoint. If we are not up to date with our Windows updates, we don't have this compliance. Irrespective of the Windows version we are running, we have to apply patches to the machines, if the OS is not damaged, to make them compliant. After that, we can upgrade to the latest version of the respective agent. This process also applies to both Deep Security and Workload Security. I have two production servers: one for Windows and another for Mac. These servers are available in both on-premise and SaaS versions. Additionally, I have a test server that is located on-premises. The significant distinction with the SaaS version is the absence of a test server where I can install a new version. This means I can't allow the agents on it to upgrade and then perform testing. In contrast, with the production SaaS version of One Endpoint Security, I have numerous agents transitioning and coming online. It's essential that these agents upgrade to a newer version. Among these agents, there are five or six different versions, not counting the really old ones that have yet to upgrade due to ACS non-compliance. I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated. These agents can't be left hanging while I wait to test the newest version that has just been released. New versions seem to come out every couple of months in the SaaS environment. In the past, when I solely used the on-premises version, I would review security bulletins for the SaaS version to identify any issues. I'm apprehensive about potential future situations involving this, primarily because the majority of our agents now operate on the cloud version. If a problem is discovered, rolling back on those agents would be challenging. It would require careful operation to revert them to a different version. The on-premises version of One Endpoint Security has an update function that allows us to manually update a bunch of servers. For example, if I just turned on a policy, I can force the agents to quickly download the policy and start following the update procedure or update settings. However, this function is not available in the SaaS version. This is because the system cannot communicate with the agent through the firewall. The SaaS version has an automatic update function and an update source entry in the update agents sub-menu, but it does not have a way to force agents to update. This is a problem because we cannot automatically update the agents. We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command. Currently, we have no choice but to wait until the agents find the updates themselves.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"We really like the ability to have different policies to keep servers and endpoints unique to their own policy."
"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."
"Stability is okay."
"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"
"Before Apex One, we used OfficeScan, which Trend Micro acquired, but it was on-prem. We were managing three or four anti-virus solutions. Apex One's cloud model allowed us to decommission the on-prem servers and consolidate. We get all the same features, and everything is upgraded automatically, so we only need to use the software."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the endpoint security with the zero-day vulnerability. They have an on-premise sandboxing solution which prevents any of those zero-day vulnerability issues."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
 

Cons

"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The product could always be more secure."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"I am expecting an Apple featured IDLP solution with OfficeScan, where we have only IDLP. Also, the ADR functionality in our Office Scan solution would be a nice addition. Genrally, the ADR solutions are the only failed ends of the solutions we have found with Trend Micro."
"Occasionally, the system may be a bit slow."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
"The cost could be improved."
"The reports are not eye-catching from the customer's point of view, which is something that should be improved."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is fine."
"Trend Micro has very aggressive pricing, but it is also very good."
"The pricing is reasonable and depends on user count."
"The price of Apex One is competitive and lower than the prices of the solutions we compared it to."
"The price of the solution was expensive in the first year we had it because we were purchasing it locally. This year we have a global discount for the license. There is an additional cost if you want maintenance support."
"The license is expensive but it is a complete solution."
"Pricing and licensing are competitive with other solutions on the market."
