Trend Micro Apex One Reviews

I am using it for our test proposal for our proof of concept. I am using its latest version.

Its scalability and the central point of XDR so that all items are centrally reporting to one solution are the most valuable features.

Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service. 

It is scalable.

It was great.

Its initial setup was straightforward.

Its pricing should be improved.

I would recommend it for some infrastructure. I would rate Trend Micro Apex One a seven out of 10.

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus. It protects our organization.

As a specialist and price management console, it's easy to manage. 

There is excellent multi-layer protection offered by the product. There are multiple layers of behavior monitoring, process monitoring, et cetera. The multi-layer aspect is actually one of the main reasons we chose this particular solution.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We've found the stability to be very good.

We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints. This seems to be largely the fault of multiple processing on the identity side. If they could improve this identity protection on the endpoint so that it could take up fewer resources on the machines, it would be a marked improvement.

We have had one problem. When we go to use corporate licenses, we'd like to have the ability to distribute them all over the globe. However, they work under a SAS model, and not all entities can use the SAS model. They are bound by one license key with one setup. If they had three to five SAS models linked to one key, it would be much better.

I've been using the solution for the past five years now. It's been a while.

The stability is very good. Basically, it's the latest version of OfficeScan. There aren't too many differences and the stability in both cases was good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's quite reliable.

In terms of scalability, we've discovered that it is easy to scale. You basically just need to add the licenses and the console. If a company needs to expand the solution, it won't have any issues.

The initial setup was not complex at all. It was easy and very straightforward. We recently migrated from OfficeScan to Apex One, and it was a very simple process overall. 

The pricing, as compared to other options, is a bit higher. However, they're offering with single license multiple applications. With this product, you get things like application control, vulnerability control, et cetera. They have added more benefits. You may pay more, however, you also get more. Altogether, it's a rather reasonable offer.

We are just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the organization.

In general, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's okay. We've mostly been happy with it.

This product basically a traditional antivirus system. Similar to McAfee and Symantec, Trend Micro, is based on traditional antiviruses. They have made improvements on some things, however, at the enterprise level, we know that these days we need a second layer of protection, specifically for malware. That is why we are using two solutions - Trend Micro plus Cisco AMP. AMP is specific to malware protection. Trend Micro handles the traditional antivirus side. It's very difficult to trust just one solution these days. We need to make sure we cover all the protection layers. 

Trend Micro claims that basically, Apex One is an enterprise level solution. We have been using last five years, and, so far, we haven't experienced any problems. Therefore, it's safe to say that we can recommend a product like this to other mid-level or small enterprises.

We use this product as our antivirus solution.

The most valuable feature is the antivirus. We don't use any of the other features.

For Trend Micro in general, I would like to see better technical responses.

We had a few issues with the former product (Office Scan - this is not an EDR product). We did not get any useful answer from technical support. As a conesquence, there is room for improvement as it comes to our future use of Apex One - let's see how this will evolve.

We are currently testing Apex One, formerly known as OfficeScan which we had been using during the last 6 years.

This is a stable product.

Apex One is scalable.

From what I can tell, the technical support is non-existent. I sent questions about search behavior a couple of times and didn't get any answer.

I have worked with Kaspersky in the past. The setup is very different from what we have now and it is difficult to compare, but I think that Kaspersky is a better product.

In the Kaspersky deployment, the company had a lot of sites and edge-caching was needed to distribute videos.

The deployment took place before I joined the company.

The price is reasonable.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked. Also, the virus and malware attempts that were trying to attack the computer storage and stuff like that so the console is pretty intuitive, it's pretty user friendly. 

Managing the clients themselves, if, for example, I want to have different sites and laws. It's pretty easy to manage the clients and also to move them to different containers. The migration process itself is really easy from office scanning G to Apex One. It's just a few clicks to migrate the clients so the management is pretty good.

It works okay. The management console itself looks pretty much like the regular Office Mechanics. 

We are looking into different solutions, like SentinelOne and Sophos. We might continue with Apex One, it also depends on budget and pricing.

We enabled it a few months ago, but we only moved five to six clients from the office scan from the regular and point protection to Apex One. So far, it has actually resolved as one of the bugs that we had because the regular office scan, a client agent was causing some Windows problems. A lot of Windows systems were crashing, having blue screens. We didn't know what the message share or message said. We tried to analyze it and stuff like that. Eventually, we found out that it was actually because of the OfficeScan agent, the regular agent, and after moving them to Apex One, the blue screens had stopped. This was a good improvement.

We're not sure if we're going to continue with those products or their products or we're going to switch to something else. That's why we stopped the immigration process. If we were going to replace another product, it's not really efficient to waste time on it moving patients and other clients.

It's stable.

We're actually a very small team, currently, we're down to three. IT and infrastructure people deal with all of the network issues and all of the management of the systems for our IT systems and products. One guy does help desk and another person and I were managing the systems. It's actually down to two people to manage all of the other stuff like that.

We use it on a daily basis, Monitoring is part of our daily monitoring and schedule. We're going from our different systems, more critical stuff in the morning, for a few hours and then we get to our later tasks and stuff like that.

We offer support to the vendor directly. They were at our site two times already during the negotiation with the management. 

Based on the latest experience with technical support which was moving from migrating from the IMSDA to the DDI, it was actually pretty good. There was one support guy that worked with over the phone and everything is remote of course and after about two or three hours, all of it was running in production with the new system.

We previously used Symantec. I was mainly dealing with the end point, installing, and uninstalling it and solving different issues that were involved or problems that were involved due to the Symantec endpoint client, but besides that, I wasn't managing the system.

The main difference between the two is the heaviness that was edited with Symantec on the endpoint client itself and into the client. The agent is pretty heavy on the resources sometimes, the memory specialists and we feel that with Trend, the product is more light on the station, and doesn't consume a lot of resources. That's I think the main issue.

The initial setup was straightforward. We did the migration ourselves.

As a current user of Trend Micro, I would recommend it, it does the job. It works fine and usually stops different virus attempts. The management is really good, you can see everything on the dashboard. If someone downloads some kind of infected file or some malicious file, we can see it and it usually gets blocked automatically.

I would rate Apex One an eight out of ten. 

In the next release, I would like to have the ability that if something happens, then we have a record of what exactly has occurred on the station, how it started and how it evolved and eventually, in case something bad happened, something malicious gets through and it wasn't recognized in the signatures and the station got infected so that we can later come and analyze and investigate it and see what exactly happened and learn from it actually for the next time.

We use the latest version. 

The solution handles all the necessary functions. These include machine learning, which is quite useful. The updates are constantly serviced and, as the solution is stable, it is updated daily. 

The technical support could have better response time. It is quite time consuming and takes a day for them to get back to us. 

I have been using Trend Micro Apex one for a couple of years.

The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well. 

The solution is scalable and its deployment varies with the server and license. 

The technical support could have better response time. It is quite time consuming and takes a day for them to get back to us. 

From the manager's vantage point, the solution has a straightforward setup for the user. It's quite easy. 

The time the deployment takes is minimal, this process varying with the agent involved. 

The installation can be done remotely. There are many options available, including dedicated tools for the deployment. 

There are only two or three people needed for the deployment who are referred by the end user. They consist of managers, manager segments and engineers. 

Our organization did not evaluate another solution prior to going with Trend Micro Apex One. 

We are talking about the smart scan, office scan. 

The solution is integrated in the system quite well. 

There are around 400 users making use of the solution in our organization. 

I would, indeed, recommend the solution to others. 

Trend Micro Apex One constantly provides us with updates and affords the systems good protection, so I rate it as a ten out of ten. 

When Trend Micro Apex One detects malware it should take action immediately. For example, detection and deletion.

The end-user at times experiences slow performance on their work station, this should improve.

In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature.

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for approximately one month.

I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs.

I was previously using Trend Micro Worry-Free Business and I switched because Trend Micro Apex One has more features.

The price of the solution is reasonable.

I rate Trend Micro Apex One a seven out of ten.

We are using Trend Micro Apex One for our organization's network security.

I have found it beneficial when I update a policy it is implemented within a few seconds and the blocking of USB storage function.

The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified.

I have been using this solution for approximately five months.

In the time I have been using the solution it has been stable.

The solution is scalable.

I have not needed to contact technical support.

We were previously using McAfee Endpoint in our organization.

The initial setup was straightforward and very easy.

The price of the solution is fair and there is a per-user license to use the solution. Our costs are approximately $2,000 a month, it can get costly if you have a lot of users.

I would recommend others to try another solution if pricing is a concern because the cost can be high for companies and there are cheaper solutions.

I rate Trend Micro Apex One seven out of ten.

We use Trend Micro OfficeScan for endpoint and server security and protection in a small enterprise organization. 

Other major components can be integrated with the OfficeScan solution and managed through a centralized console. We haven't started using all of them yet. We are going to use the DLP data leakage prevention component, soon. It can be added as a plug-in. It's just a separate license.

The ease of use is most valuable with Trend Micro OfficeScan. I value the security provided. We haven't had any specific incidents while using it. It's doing its primary job quite well. It is also well integrated with other Trend Micro Solutions that we use, via Trend Micro Control Manager.

I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations.

We had a few compatibility issues while updating certain drivers. We had a few occasions where we had to temporarily turn off the solution on our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers. 

It's not completely the fault of the antivirus provider. The problem is with the Microsoft Windows system and the drivers themselves. It's a shared responsibility.

Trend Micro needs some kind of included warning when OfficeScan senses that somebody is updating some drivers that have known issues. I have the same problem occur also with other products, so it's not specific to Trend Micro OfficeScan. It's a typical problem.

Trend Micro is quite stable. We didn't have too many problems. There were, in the past, a few occasions where we had some problems. That was mostly related to new Microsoft Windows versions. 

Lately, it's been quite stable and we are satisfied with it.

For the scalability, we are quite small. We are not a large company. We have around 60 licenses that cover both endpoints and servers (essentially, the same client is used everywhere, just the policies are different). For that number of licenses, scalability is not a problem.

Their technical support is good. We didn't have many requests. I had one request recently, and it was very fast. They provided us an adequate solution.

Trend Micro OfficeScan was used from the beginning to replace some solutions. It has been used for the last 15 years. We are mostly a Trend Micro shop.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. There are a lot of options after you set up the solution. After the initial setup, it's quite easy to do. It's not complex.

We acquired it through a reseller. They are also a systems integrator. They provide other solutions and support for us. We took the Trend Micro solutions from them.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the platform a nine.
