Trend Vision One Endpoint Security Reviews

Next month, we will implement the solution as our own primary endpoint solution. Currently, we have clients that are using it for the same purpose.

We've just started the distribution of Trend Micro Products. We're at the start of the process. However, it's my understanding that it is a very complete solution.

With the DLP addition, it's quite a good product.

The complexity of the product is very good. It has a lot of features. It covers many items and different parts of intrusions.

The solution can scale quite well.

We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall.

We're still in the early stages of using the solution. We need more time to do some installations and work with the product to really be able to evaluate it completely. 

We had some challenges with the initial setup.

The solution should adjust its pricing for the smaller market we are in.

We've only been using the solution for about six months - or half a year. We haven't used the solution for that long just yet.

The solution is very easy to scale and quite flexible. If a company needs to scale, it can do so with ease.

We have our own global distributor, a local provider, and they have some technical personnel that covers the lower level of support queries. For a big issue, we contact the Trend Micro team directly. 

It's very easy to contact both. They are very quick and responsive, They are quite knowledgeable and helpful. We're very satisfied with the level of service we are provided with.

The initial setup can be difficult. We had some issues, however, we worked with a local provider here in Bulgaria, and successfully performed this type of installation previously.

We had the assistance of a local provider that was well trained in implementation. They sorted out any problems we had and helped us set everything up. We were very satisfied with the results.

We have a small market in Bulgaria and the price is always the leading issue and the leading decision point. Trend Micro is a big vendor, one of the best vendors, in my opinion. For a couple of years they've been in the top three and top five as an antivirus solution. Therefore, the quality comes at a price. I try to explain to our customers and our clients that they are paying for quality. That said, due to the fact that Bulgaria is such a small market, the pricing doesn't match the expectations. 

I am currently comparing this solution with ESET.

We are both a distributor of this product as well as a customer.

I'd recommend the solution to other companies. We don't just offer it to clients. We use it ourselves. We believe in the solution. We see the value in it.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. Although there are some improvements to be made, it's a very complete product with good flexibility and a good level of flexibility.

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. 

The primary use case is for antivirus, and antimalware scans.

The most valuable features are reporting and where we have the ability to report back and provide information when an item is quarantined or not quarantined.

The CPU usage when scanning stays too high and we have run into bottlenecks where Apex One consumes a lot of CPU cycles. 

The on-premises set up is daunting.

It's been five years of this where they (Microsoft) have two updates a year, sometimes three. By now Trend Micro should have come up with a solution where they don't have us block the updates and wait for them to be fixed.

There are times where Trend applies an update and that update doesn't fully apply. We then have to go in and run a manual VBS file that they have provided to us to do a proper uninstall of the application which is painful to do as we have a huge distributed workforce and many remote users. It isn't always easy to chase down remote users.

We have been using the Trend Micro product line for at least five years. The Apex One is their newest incarnation, which we have been using for the last year.

It seems to be an evolution of their current platform.

I would rate the stability of this solution a seven or seven and a half out of ten. We had several issues where it had crippled user's machines and we had to uninstall and reinstall the application to get it working. We have had to hold Windows updates. I think that it is the fault of the Microsoft deployment strategy. When they release a new feature update you can not deploy it right away. For example, when they go from 1903 to 1909, you have to wait for Trend to apply fixes to the application, otherwise, it won't work.

It seems to scale quite well. We have no issues from that perspective. We are able to onboard all of our users fairly quickly and them online. That was positive.

We have approximately 400 users in our organization.

We have had some challenges where sometimes it takes a while to get a solution.

We have always been using Trend Micro. We followed them through their evolution from OfficeScan to Office XG to Apex One. 

I think with the evolution of Windows 10, and how Microsoft does deployment, it has made using this application a lot more challenging. With the manageability and when Microsoft does an update, we sometimes struggle with the updates because of how they happen. 

The result being that Trend will block or pause an update on the Microsoft side and Trend will release the update. We deploy that update but the machine won't get those fixes and doesn't allow the update to happen, so we have to manually troubleshoot the machines, uninstall the app, and do several things to push the Windows update. We have always been playing a game of whack-a-mole with it. This can be extremely frustrating when you have a small IT team.

Initially, we tried to set up on-premises and there were huge pain points. Trend offered us their cloud solution.

We tried the cloud solution and it seemed to work much better.

The on-premises was daunting to set up, as there were a lot of issues and several challenges. We ended with their hosted solution, which addressed many of our pain points.

We had the cloud solution up and running within a day or so. The cloud solution is far quicker because you don't have to do all of the heavy lifting of installing it on-premises and all of those other features.

We have an IT team with five of us to maintain this solution, but it's generally done by two individuals.

It seems like there is a disconnect between the Trend Micro Team and Microsoft. Microsoft is constantly pushing updates and builds, and there is a delay from the Trend side when updates are released. 

As of now when we start reading that Microsoft's finalizing a build we start scrambling and reading Trend Micro blogs trying to figure out if it supports it.

Every solution has its problems, but It is a solid product. The question becomes one of whether there is value in it for the dollar. Does it do what it needs you to do? Has it been working and providing defense? The answer is yes on those fronts.

They have tried very hard to develop a cohesive product that supports us, that offers the ability to scan for viruses and scan for malware. It doesn't hit everything, but the more that I look at different solutions, no solution is a panacea and a magic bullet, and anyone who tells you there is, is not being truthful.

The question becomes, is the manual work outweighing the value that the solution adds? For us, we can handle the updates but when we started to really have a lot of issues where users, especially now in COVID times, working remotely have their machines crippled by the scans  and taking a long time, chewing up a lot of CPU,  users become frustrated with the solution.  We spent the last two months chasing ghosts and trying to troubleshoot. It was frustrating. 

As the leader of our IT organization, I need to ensure the stability and usability of all systems for all users.

I still think that the product has value, but I've just experienced a lot of pain points to realize that it's becoming cyclical for us, and the pain points are becoming too much.

We are in POCs with other products but we may find that they are just as bad and may stick with Trend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The product is used for security and protection so that we can protect our users. 

I like the enhanced security. It offers very good advanced technology. 

The setup is simple.

It's easy to scale the licensing as needed. 

The solution is stable. 

Technical support has been helpful. 

The solution has some offline issues sometimes. Sometimes it will not communicate with the server, and we need to manually restart items. 

When Microsoft updates, we need to ensure Trend Micro also updates. Sometimes they are out of sync. 

I've been using the solution for only one project. 

It is a stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Apart from issues we've had where it suddenly doesn't communicate with the server, it's been fine. 

The solution is scalable. You can increase usage if you like. You just need to purchase a bit more in order to expand. 

Technical support is fine. The response usually happens within one or two days. 

The initial setup of the product is okay. We can do a few configurations and the implementation is pretty simple. We can manage it easily. It's easy to understand. 

The deployment took five to ten minutes. It does not take too long to set up. 

I was able to handle the setup myself. The deployment isn't too bad. 

The solution offers an annual subscription. 

I'm using the latest version of the solution. It's on the cloud and, therefore, always the latest. 

I'd recommend the solution to others who would like to try the solution. It offers good customer-facing protection. We've had customers that have avoided items like ransomware and malicious attacks.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten overall. We've been pleased with its security capabilities. 

We are using Trend Micro Apex One for security.

Trend Micro Apex One most valuable features are centralized management, ease of use, and help user management. Additionally, it can detect vulnerabilities in the end-users system

The solution has been able to protect against any attacks or security issues. 

When compared to other solutions it has the most value.

The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure.

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is good enough for what we use it for.

The technical support is good. We have received good local and regional support from Trend Micro.

Trend Micro Apex One installation is not complicated, it's just straightforward. If you have some experience with the solution it is simple but if you are new to configuring the database it can be complicated. This is the one difficult aspect of the implementation, if they can do the database configuration everything else will be easy.

If I compare Trend Micro Apex One with other solutions there are a few challenges for customers who have do not need more licenses. Sometimes the customers struggle because this product is totally an enterprise solution, and the price for the licenses can be expensive for individuals or small organizations.

The premium level features should be added to the general features.  It would be very helpful for general users because when we are trying to provide the premium features to the general users, sometimes it's very costly. If features are available for general users, it would extend their market globally.

I have evaluated Microsoft Defender.

My advice to others is if they want to protect their end-users, this is a great solution when compared to similar products.

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

We deal with the on-premises deployment model of this solution.

Trend Micro covers many things. The solution right now is called EDR. It's a good solution and they have something called Suite that incorporates many engines like encryption, GLB, and antivirus.

I think if they invest in better training and training partners, it could be even better but they have good coverage here in the Middle East now, especially in Egypt. I cannot recommend something right now.

Trend Micro covers many things but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention and it would improve the solution if they invested in this technology.

Stability is good, especially for enterprise companies. Small companies are also okay. The stability is not a problem.

The scalability is okay. Our current tools are licensed with the software solution we provide. So this provides them with tools over the virtual machines they have. They can add many licenses and we can extend to a larger size.

We tried to implement ourselves. Their technical support is okay. 

I work with Trend Micro as a salesman, not a technician. However, what I understood from others is that the setup is okay. It's not complex. 

I have a team to deploy this solution to customers. It takes about three engineers to deploy. Three engineers can handle implementation and maintenance at the same time.

It's well priced at a yearly rate. The price itself depends on whether the solution is a full suite, half suite, or some other engine. It's different according to the consumer's requests.

As a salesman, I encourage the customer to buy the full suite for the engines.

The biggest lesson I learned is about the EPR solution. Some people say it's easier to use this type of product. This is the next generation of antivirus technology.

I would rate this solution as seven and a half out of ten. We work with a lot of solutions, like Carbon Black, McAfee, Symantec, etc. There are features and benefits to each of these.

Trend Micro Apex One is very helpful, for our customers.

Trend Micro Apex One provides our clients with threat detection and response. It offers protection against threats.

Trend Micro Apex One provides our customers with the best endpoint security.

It has the ability to share, which is not available in other products.

The DLP feature is beneficial to handle devices and other important files that cannot be accessed, sent, or shared. 

This solution should be more secure, in my opinion.

The security features need improvement.
