Trend Micro Apex One Reviews

It's an antivirus solution for us.

It keeps us running very smoothly because there are no outages due to viruses. I think we have a very good security posture, and this product has helped us to get there.

We have also seen an increase in staff productivity because we manage the entire solution with just one person. Five years ago we needed a team of at least ten people.

The ease of deployment is one of its most valuable features.

I would like to see a data-loss prevention module. We need that in our organization.

There is also room for improvement in next-gen attacks protection.

The stability is very good. We have a centralized way in which we can see that the product is running.

We have about 3,000 endpoints, and we haven't had any problems with scalability.

We work with a partner. We have been working with them for about five years and it's very good. We haven't had any problems.

We went with this solution because they have a really huge investment in artificial intelligence; not only in attack signatures but also behaviors.

The initial setup was very straightforward. It was only a matter of sending it to the console and it took care of the job for us.

We deployed it ourselves.

On a yearly basis, it's about $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

We are currently evaluating next-gen antivirus because of the new attacks that are happening. The shortlist is Silence, Carbon Black, and CrowdStrike.

Focus on the productivity gains that you will have. We don't have a lot of security experts in the company. We are a very small team, so we need to be very productive with the products that we have.

I would rate this product at nine out of ten. It has a lot of the capabilities that we need.

The primary use case is endpoint protection. It has been performing okay.

It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it. The ability to manage the solution needs improvement because it just does not seem like it is quite everything we need it to be.

Stability is okay.

I have not used the technical support.

I previously used Sophos, which is a much better product with centralized management (in my opinion).

I was not involved in the initial setup.

We evaluated McAfee and Sophos.

• McAfee: They have a SIM that we already had in place.
• Sophos: It definitely had the ability to be flexible and integrate with the rest of our equipment.

Do not believe the marketing hype. Talk with implementers of the product. Replace the solution with Sophos.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: functionality, price, and skill.

We primarily use the solution for our endpoint protection. It is integrated for endpoint protection. It's a good product. Some of our clients also use the solution. 

Trend Micro Apex One is good for endpoint protection. They're a Gartner leader for it, so that's why customers like it. 

Their patch management is unique compared to other endpoint protection solutions. It is a good feature. 

The nano protection and device control are great. We were monitoring predictive machine learning. All features are available in the Apex One feature.

It's scalable.

It is stable.

Technical support is helpful.

It is not user-friendly. If they improve this side and make it more user-friendly, then it'll be helpful for IT admins in terms of operating the solution. It's just a bit complex to learn and use at this point, compared to other endpoints. 

Sometimes the solution cannot support legacy PCs.

The product can be a bit heavy.

I've been dealing with the solution for one year.

The platform is good. The product offer is good and the customer experience is good. The only limitation is it's not easy to operate. That said, it is reliable.

It is scalable. That's not a problem.

Technical support isn't too bad. I've been satisfied with the level of support I can get. They are pretty responsive. Their level of knowledge is good.

Positive

I've also used Symantec, which is easier to set up. It's also lighter. However, Symantec's support is not good at all. 

The solution has a moderate level of difficulty. It's not too easy and also not overly complex. For example, compared to Symantec, Trend Micro is more complex.

I'd rate the setup process a two out of five in terms of the ease of setup. You need to have prior knowledge. 

We use the solution in-house. We also resell it and are integrators. 

We're using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I use Apex One for endpoint security. 

Apex One is flexible and offers a lot of visibility on the agent.

Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself. Also, if Trend Micro could add some more tools that I can use in my daily troubleshooting in the future, I think that would be good.

I've been using Apex One for maybe five or six years. 

I haven't had any issues with Apex One so far. It hasn't given me any problems.

Support is Trend Micro's only downside. Their response time is slow. 

I think SAP's endpoint solution has more features available in its interface compared to Apex One.

Installing and configuring Apex One is simple. It took maybe an hour. 

It varies. It can be cheaper, and the other one is more expensive or the other way around. It depends on the reseller and the salespeople unless I'm buying directly from the company. 

I rate Apex One eight out of 10. I would recommend it for home-based users. My only real issue with Apex One is the response time from support. 

We use the solution for protection against ransomware, viruses, and spyware. Additionally, we have the policy for integration with the cloud.

The most favorable features have been behavior monitoring and zero-day threat protection.

The integration could improve in this solution.

I have been using the solution for approximately four years.

In the two years that we have been using the solution we have not had an issue with stability.

The solution is scalable. We have approximately 2,500 licenses.

The installation is easy and took approximately 10 minutes.

We did the implementation ourselves and we have an automatic installer for our clients.

The price of the solution was expensive in the first year we had it because we were purchasing it locally. This year we have a global discount for the license. There is an additional cost if you want maintenance support.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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

Trend Micro Apex One was an upgrade for a desktop virus scanner, web reputation, and a firewall.

It is very easy to use.

One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it.

The interface is good.

It's an excellent product for a desktop.

The only improvement I can see is that it occasionally warns us about callbacks, and there's almost no way to trace it back other than a Windows service, making it difficult to completely eliminate it, or know what program is creating the callback.

The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program. At this time, all it says is that it's a C&C callback and then traces back to a Windows Service.

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for approximately 20 years.

We upgraded to Apex One, between four and six months ago.

Trend Micro Apex One is a stable solution.

Trend Micro Apex One is very scalable.

It's on everyone's desktop on their computers.

We don't have any plans to increase our usage.

Previously, we used the OfficeScan version.

We are currently using Carbon Black as well.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We gradually upgraded everyone from the previous version to the new version. If I add up all of the time we spent getting everything done, it probably took us a couple of weeks.

There are two of us that manage this solution as well as Carbon Black.

We completed the installation in-house.

We have never calculated the ROI. It may be difficult to calculate, but all it has to do is keep you safe once or twice and it has paid for itself.

The pricing is good.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis. 

If I remember correctly, the cost is approximately four and a half thousand per year.

There are no additional fees.

I would rate Trend Micro Apex One a nine out of ten.

The solution is an endpoint antivirus. We primarily use it for endpoint security and protection.

Most of the customer requirements are just to have endpoint security - and something that is not just pattern-based or signature-based. They want to have protection with zero-day attacks and suspicious malware alerts. 

Their real-time scan feature is excellent. It's proactively scanning every movement within the machine or the workstation. It's a very nice security feature.

The solution is largely stable.

The initial setup can be pretty straightforward.

The technical support is good. They have local techs that can assist. We don't have to worry about time zones, et cetera.

The solution offers good community support.

Trend Micro's reporting is lacking in a lot of ways. Right now, I have some customers that want the report to be customized, and we're having trouble with the customization of the reports in general. They need to make the features more flexible to meet the needs of clients. It's far too difficult to customize right now.

It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit.

The product needs to execute faster. It's an aspect that can be improved upon in future releases.

I've been working with the solution over the last 12 months at least.

The stability, for the most part, is very good. There are a few bigs and fixes here and there, however, that is typical of most software. It's not something that stops it from being reliable.

We largely handle enterprise implementations.

I'm satisfied with the level of support we get. Their support is good since they have local support here in the Philippines. They are knowledgeable and responsive, and it's nice to have local help.

The initial setup is straightforward, as long as the setup of the customer is also straightforward. There could be some complexities involved. It depends on the current setup or network set up of the customers.

I don't have the visibility in terms of pricing. It's not an aspect of the solution I concern with. I can't speak to the licensing costs or how often the company needs to pay.

It actually competes with McAfee and Symantec. They are our direct competitors.

We are resellers of Trend Micro.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the exact version number.

We use various deployment models, including on-premises and cloud.

In general, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. Our customers, for the most part, have been quite happy with the solution and its level of security.

I've installed this product for clients numerous times. Each situation is different but usually it's for companies with a minimum of 50 users. One client had 200 users of Apex One, another 500 and I also had a larger client with 1,500 users. It's an enterprise license. I'm a pre-sales and implementation engineer and our company is the Apex One local partner in India.

I think this is the best solution in the category of endpoint protection, it's really excellent. It's better than McAfee. 

I think there could be improvement in a couple of areas, particularly with technical support and making the solution more user friendly. They could channel their video more efficiently and develop a root functionality solution control across all functions.

I've been working with this solution for two years. 

It's a stable solution, no problems. 

This solution is very scalable, it's great.

In general the technical support is very good, although lately I've been less satisfied with the local support here in India. 

Initial setup is straightforward, it takes a day. Deployment requires between two and five people depending on the size of the company. 

I think Apex One is a very good product for end-users. Some of the features you get here are also available in Symantec which is a better package, but Apex One is a better end solution. Symantec and McAfee both have good solutions but Apex One and Symantec are the best for end point security. For singular implementation, Apex One management is great for application control and deactivation.

I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
