The primary function of it is to back it up off-site so that if you ever have any kind of data corruption, data loss, that you can easily recover that data.
They have done some drastic improvements just in the last year that have really met a lot of our needs. Being able to sync between computers was a big one; the ability to administer it through a web portal, that was a big thing; and it's all in Connected MX now. At the moment, I don't have anything that I would ask the product manager to add to it, because he's done a really good job of getting it to where it's at right now. Nonetheless, one thing they could do better on is knowledge and education about it. Nobody knows about it, and I feel that everybody needs it, they just don't know it.

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

Pros

"The integration features are the most valuable. The integration is specific to each solution. It works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"Parental control"
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."

"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
 

Cons

"On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your mailbox. This feature is not included. Also, disaster recovery backups can be improved. Some other solutions, such as HP Data Protector, have more features."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"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."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
 

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."
