Trend Vision One requires better integration, user interface, documentation, support, enhanced automation, AI, and simplified installation to reduce complexity.

My thoughts on the pricing or licensing with Sophos Central are that it is very good.
Supervisor, Infraestructura Information Technology at Refineria Dominicana de Petroleo
I find the credit model non-transparent—you can't always tell how many licenses apply to which product.
Head of Managed Services & IT Security at B.O.C.
I have seen others that are double or triple the price.
Cyber Security Team/Governance, Risk, Compliance at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Customers who cannot afford CrowdStrike's pricing can easily opt for Trend Vision One.

Trend Vision One excels in centralized management, advanced security, user-friendly interface, AI analytics, and efficient threat detection.

Featured Reviews

Fayas Ummer - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Security Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Centralized threat blocking has reduced manual monitoring but still needs better exclusions and logs
One way Sophos Central can be improved is in its exclusion capabilities. When we try to exclude legitimate files, we find that it requires a lot of effort, as we cannot simply exclude one file from every detection. Due to the layered approach, it takes time to exclude even one file, indicating that the exclusion process could definitely be enhanced. I would add that the logs in Sophos Central should be more detailed. Sometimes, when we're checking the logs, they simply state that a file is blocked, but we can't find out why that is the case. More detailed logs could significantly improve the log collecting aspect. Areas for improvement in Sophos Central are log collection, exclusion processes, and customer support. Aside from these points, I believe the overall product is great.

Built faster threat response and improved visibility with real-time monitoring and flexible deployment
Trend Vision One allows us to monitor attacks in real time, which is a significant benefit. We can quickly see where the attack is coming from. Trend Vision One enables us to use different products with a flexible license. For example, if a customer is using endpoint security and wants to switch to another solution, they can instantly use a different Trend Micro product, such as email. Trend Vision One has helped to reduce the time to detect and respond to different threats, as it can respond to attacks very quickly. With playbook templates, in cases of recurring attacks, responses can be made quickly using predefined playbooks. Trend Vision One has helped to reduce noise from false positives. There have been false positives before, but it was due to the customer not telling us which app they were using. Best practice configurations must be applied properly to avoid such issues. Trend Vision One helps customers consolidate the use of security vendors and reduce silos by offering one platform for all product management.
