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.

It improves the detection speed, but it could be more customizable
They need to stop changing Vision One once a week. They're in a hurry to change things so badly and so fast that I can't find where stuff is half the time, which is a challenge sometimes. I've given one piece of feedback to their product guys. One thing that they're trying to make is a SIEM. It's a product where you input all the logs from your tools, and it creates additional insights into how things look. They've been kind of playing the "me too" game on that, even though that's not what I bought the product for. They have a new gateway where I can take my firewall of email logs and send it over there. In theory, it's supposed to do a more comprehensive evaluation of all my stuff to improve that risk index score. I'm not impressed with it, and I've told them as much. I feel if you're good at something, you should keep working on that and not try to be all the things to all the people. I bought a different email solution even though it would have been 10 times easier to just stay with their email solution because they aren't great at it. They are great at other things, but they're playing the "me too" game with some of their products. Their competitors do this, so they should be doing this, too. They need to pick a product and keep being good at that. If they're going to roll new things out, they should do it but do it right. They have a button to isolate an endpoint because it looks bad, but it doesn't usually work. I've had no chance to argue with the product guys to show them examples of how their button doesn't work. You think it does, but it doesn't work in a real environment. That can be a challenge sometimes. I can see in the data showing what is a false positive. But it doesn't save me time helping them figure out how to fix the problem in their engine. It can help me identify it as a false positive, but it doesn't apply that consistently. It will ignore the false positive for that device, but if they start detecting a false positive on Apple devices, I have eight thousand Apple devices and get 8,000 alerts. I can tell that specific false positive, but it doesn't learn from that particularly well. We use the executive dashboards, but I don't find them particularly useful. One is the ability to customize. That has gotten a little better, and it'll be better in the future. Most of what they have on there are data points that are generic and not particularly actionable. That's why it's called an executive dashboard. Executives want to see if we are secure, but it's hard for me to find out why our attack surface risk went down by x percentage. I don't know. It says that on the dashboard, but it doesn't give me specific details about why. I find it confuses my executives, and it's not useful for me because it doesn't give me things to work on. It will give me generic things on the executive dashboard like you have a thousand accounts with an old password. Those are big generic things, but I also can't tell it that our password policy is different from what your automatic detection model means, and I don't have a problem with that, so quit lowering my risk score. The risk score is useless. In theory, it's based on the random intelligence they're getting from their various customers. I'm in K-12 education, so they have a decent amount of K-12 customers, but it's a subset, and the baseline of what's common in K-12 education is not the same. There's not enough data to make that particularly clean or useful. Vision One is not custom, and that's part of my beef. That index score is based on whatever random report they're looking at from their data sources at any given moment in time. It's nice, but I'd rather have one that's based on your particular circumstances. Instead, it's saying that the number one attack threat surface for school districts is email phishing. It's too generic.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response are its immediate response and investigation."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The Detection vulnerability is very effective."
"The solution does all that we expect it to do."
"The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
"The most valuable features of this product include network isolation for machines and the ability to work with a consistent and defined set of virtual machines."
"I have had absolutely no problem with using this solution, it really works well."
"It has good vulnerability protection."
"Its threat intelligence sources enable it to automatically block domains known for command-and-control callbacks, effectively preventing attacks from those sources."
"Trend Micro XDR is stable, scalable, and reasonably priced."
"Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit."
"We had a quick deployment. The solution is easy to set up."
"The most important thing for us as a customer is that we can spend more time in other places as it's simpler to have that overview. We have much more time for other tasks."
"We had previously deployed on-premises, and all we had to do was access the designated console and click a button to migrate all on-premises agents to cloud agents."
"Our speed has increased significantly."
 

Cons

"The interface is very complicated."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"The SOAR features (Security Playbooks) are quite limited."
"Trend Vision One requires several enhancements for optimal performance."
"When you deploy these tools from Trend Micro, the integration and getting them to work together, are among the more difficult pieces of the puzzle. But when you get that set up and working, you're glad you did."
"The zero trust is a bit complicated compared to other parts of the solution."
"It would be ideal if they could improve the control of connectivity between sensors."
"To improve support, the company should streamline communication and reduce response times."
"One area that requires improvement is the installation process of the agents, as it is not seamless."
"It would be great if there were Trend Micro products that could enhance the security of these devices, either as part of our product or in some other way integrated into our offering."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
"We have a yearly subscription, and the pricing is fair."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
"The product is cheap."
"Of late, because of the Broadcom purchase, its price has been increasing."
"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"The price is reasonable."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"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."
"While the pricing and licensing for Trend Vision One are generally acceptable, the need to purchase additional features separately adds complexity."
"I feel that Vision One is a bit expensive. As for the pricing or licensing, I would rate it a seven out of ten."
"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."
"Competitors offer comparable solutions at slightly lower prices, so Vision One has room to reduce its pricing by 15 percent, given that Trend Vision One charges approximately $10 per endpoint."
"I find it to be a cost-efficient platform."
"It's relatively well-priced."
"I do not have much visibility to it. It is definitely not a cheap product, but to my knowledge, it is out there with the big wigs in the industry, such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and other EDR/XDR vendors. I had heard, and found out eventually, that their sales teams are very flexible, as more sales teams are."
