A backup solution that offers very good integration at a good price
We primarily use the solution as a backup for our entire environment.  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. On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your…

Has helped protect mobile communications and prevent risky app usage while providing timely threat alerts
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 integration features are the most valuable, as the integration is specific to each solution and works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."
"Technical support is top-notch."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East, which I know because I am located here in the Middle East."
"Trend Micro Mobile Security is a good solution, and it will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"Parental control"
"Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support."
"Product itself is sturdy, stable, and easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Nonetheless, one thing they could do better on is knowledge and education about it."
"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."
"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."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"The only disadvantage I see is that my mobile is very slow after installing this scanner."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"The main challenge with Trend Micro Mobile Security for iPhone users is the complex setup process due to Apple's stringent security requirements."
"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, a little bit laggy."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Very cheap in cost"
