Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption has good performance and is secure."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
"Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."
"The disk encryption is great."
"Overall, I think that it's very interesting."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"It has improved our protection to have less false-positives, we have a greater ability to find malware notifications, and it has improved between 30-35% more than prior to our use of the solution."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
"In our POC, we had 200 samples including ones that were available but not as popular and we received a 100% efficacy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it."
 

Cons

"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"I would not recommend this solution."
"It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions."
"When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"We had to use an integrator for the implementation of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption. We have two people who work on this solution."
"I have been infected with ransomware that Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption should catch, and if we get infected it must be learning for it to know it is malware."
"If Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption comes up with a SaaS solution, it will be better rather than just having an on-premises solution."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"The product cannot perform an on-demand scan. They could add this particular feature."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing. I would like to have more explanations and simplification in the user interface. It would be good to get help and see more explanations. It should tell us that a software is blocked and the reason for it. It would be good to be able to build chains in terms of what caused what, what worked, and what caused an issue. We are now moving from Carbon Black to Cortex XDR. While choosing antivirus software, we were also looking at Carbon Black because it also has an antivirus package, and it is next-generation, but we were told that Carbon Black doesn't support firewalls. We have Palo Alto firewalls. We would have chosen this solution if it supported firewalls, in particular next-generation firewalls, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Therefore, we decided on Cortex XDR because it integrates with Palo Alto firewalls."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"It's reasonable in price"
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."
"The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product is quite reasonable."
