Advanced server defenses have strengthened threat detection and protected critical infrastructure

From my perspective, predictive analysis is an area for improvement. The rules are very rigid. The way protection works for Trend Micro ServerProtect is that you have to specifically apply specific rules to achieve particular actions or use cases. We have had instances where a malware is dropped and that malware executes, it is detected, but because the malware has been altered a little bit, either in naming or slight behavior changes, the system is not able to stop it. This is unless you harden the rule to say block anything that appears out of place. My thinking as a security expert is that malware will typically behave outside of the normal operation of the organization. Instead of saying malware behavior based on malware behavior, I would say use analytics to identify anything that is outside the normal behavior of files and systems in the course of business operation, then flag it so it can go for further evaluation to identify if it is a malicious file execution or otherwise. Today, there are some instances where legitimate operations occur because of the static rule definition, the agent would flag a normal activity as malicious and then sometimes flag malicious activities as normal. They need to work on that area. There is a lot of competition today. When Trend Micro ServerProtect initially came out, they were premium, so there was not a lot of competition. Competition is dropping their price. Trend Micro ServerProtect should also come down on the pricing to meet competition. Though it is a great solution and an integrated solution, I think they should also meet the market competition. CrowdStrike is there, Palo Alto is there. There are many other competitors, but they need to also look at what is happening. They need to work on it. I would not say that they are overly priced, but I think they can be more competitive, especially with their new credit allocation process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable, accommodating every request with a smile and genuine care."

"Performance is very good."

"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."

"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."

"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."

"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."

"Technical support was perfect."

"The excellent integration of Trend Micro ServerProtect with cloud platforms has benefited my organization through increased flexibility, allowing control of both on-premise and cloud environments through a single console, which provides a significant advantage to the solution."

Cons

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."

"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"

"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."

"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."

"From my perspective, predictive analysis is an area for improvement. Today, there are some instances where legitimate operations occur because of the static rule definition, the agent would flag a normal activity as malicious and then sometimes flag malicious activities as normal."

"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."

"Sometimes I try to find the real source of why there is a message, but I cannot determine if it is beneficial because I am missing deeper information."

"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"The pricing is high."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"Pricewise, this product is okay."

"The product is available at a reasonable price"

"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."

"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."

"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
