Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

The CREM feature is an absolutely essential feature that helps us meet security requirements
Since we started using Trend Vision One, we've been able to enhance our security posture significantly. Trend Vision One has improved significantly over time in providing centralized visibility and control. It started as a set of individual products, but now it feels like one integrated solution. This reduces the need for interfaces or multiple analysis tools. That's why we pursued the one-platform strategy. Trend Vision One has definitely helped consolidate our use of security vendors. We previously used standalone products for endpoint and email protection that weren't integrated. Now, we get the benefits of an integrated solution. I'd estimate we're 50–70% better in security now than we were two years ago. The Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)feature is absolutely essential. Even though we're not critical infrastructure, the NIS2 directive gives us security guidelines. CREM helps us meet these requirements. It is very important to our organization that Trend Vision One integrates AI into the platform. Pattern recognition in forensic data is no longer manageable by humans due to the volume of events. Machine learning is essential to process these and filter what needs human attention. Trend Vision One has improved our organization significantly. Security tasks used to be manual. Now, technology prevents issues or supports staff in detecting them. This shift from manual to technical solutions greatly increased our security. Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats. I'd say we're 80% faster than before. The platform gives us consolidated data upfront, so we don't have to search for event clues manually. Trend Vision One has helped reduce false alarms. I'd estimate a 50–60% time saving. We have more alerts now than years ago, but also better systems to handle them, making the whole process more efficient. Trend Vision One has helped reduce our cyber risk overall. We now know where gaps are before they become problems, whereas in the past we had to guess. That's a massive improvement. When it comes to operations, the CREM solution helps us identify vulnerabilities in systems. If we patch them, they disappear from the reports—this gives us actionable insights, which is incredibly helpful. It took about half a year to realize the benefits of Trend Vision One after implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing is good."
"It is very simple to use."
"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"The security is good."
"The solution does its job with no issues."
"The solution can scale well."
"The setup is quite easy."
"There are times when Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response tags an executable as malicious when it is trying to get executed on the machine. In this case, it prevents the execution and it gives you a process view of things where you can look into what has happened and whether it is a genuine process trying to access some system activities, or it's a malicious one. Depending upon the process, it gives you a clear identification, and we can do the containment from the interface itself and isolate the machine from the network. The process review on network isolation is good."
"It is so helpful to have something that pulls all the data into one visual representation of the events."
"For our day-to-day use cases, the correlation and attribution of different alerts are valuable. It is sort of an SIEM, but it is intelligent enough to run the queries and intentionally detect and prioritize attacks for you. At the end of the day, it is different data that you see. It correlates data for you and makes it meaningful. You can see that someone got an email and clicked a link. That link downloaded, for example, malware into the memory of the machine. From there, you can see that they started moving laterally to your environment. I quite like it because it gives visibility, so Workbench is what we use every day"
"Trend Vision One is an integrated platform where I can get all the information about all the endpoints, whether it be a server, laptop, or desktop."
"Overall, I rate Trend Vision One a ten out of ten as I am extremely happy with Trend Micro's capabilities and their platform's strength."
"The automatic EDR system that notifies us when something is wrong is valuable."
"Trend Vision One provides centralized visibility and management across protection layers, which is crucial for compliance."
"I like Vision One's workbench. It provides helpful logs that I can search, and the telemetry is excellent because I can see what's happening during an attack or potential attack."
"One of the features I like in Trend Micro XDR is that you can drill down on the root-cause analysis for anything you find on the solution. I also like that it works for detection purposes. Behavior analytics is also what I like most about Trend Micro XDR. I love that it has features such as behavior detection, program detection, and memory scanning. By default, the solution protects against spyware, apart from the normal virus scan. Smart Scan and DLP are also available in Trend Micro XDR which I like as well."
 

Cons

"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
"The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model."
"The network forensics feature could be improved."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial."
"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"The SOAR features (Security Playbooks) are quite limited."
"We'd like to see more use of AI around analytics and controls."
"There should be a bit more dynamism when it comes to their playbooks in terms of the action triggers. That is the only thing that I would want to see a bit more."
"Currently, there is nothing specific that needs improvement. Their support is very cooperative, and they provide an educational portal for learning the solution. However, deployment could improve by considering customer environments that are not fully updated."
"Trend Vision One would be enhanced by incorporating an SIEM solution as a built-in feature."
"Improving the user interface would be helpful—it can be confusing, especially if you do not use it daily."
"I'd like to see alert time reduction so that they show up on the dashboard faster."
"Expanding compatibility to include currently unsupported security tools, such as firewalls, would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"We have a yearly subscription, and the pricing is fair."
"Compared to the tools of competitors, Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is a cheaply priced product."
"Of late, because of the Broadcom purchase, its price has been increasing."
"The more devices we have the more expensive it becomes, which is where the challenge is."
"It is definitely not cheap. I do believe you get what you pay for to some degree. It is cost-effective."
"Its price is very decent. It suits our requirements."
"Trend Vision One is cost-effective because it offers detailed reporting and environment control features."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. There is a need for me to look into the new pricing plan introduced by the solution recently."
"The pricing is competitive, and the cost aligns with the features we receive."
"It would be nice if it was a little bit cheaper, but I think it has a fair price. It is comparable to others in the market."
"They've introduced a credit system, where we purchase credits and then allocate them to the specific services we need active."
"It's relatively well-priced."
