Trend Vision One Endpoint Security Reviews

We utilize Trend Micro Apex One for endpoint security across all of our clients, managing it centrally alongside the entire Trend Micro suite.

We implemented Trend Micro Apex One to improve our endpoint security.

Trend Micro Apex One is able to identify threats and notify us to investigate from a central location. From there we are able to inform the client and disconnect the affected device to protect the environment.

Apex One employs advanced protection features, including behavior analysis, to adapt to and defend against unknown threats. Apex One's ability to recognize abnormal behavior and terminate processes is crucial for safeguarding our organization's security.

Apex One utilizes runtime machine learning to detect ransomware, a crucial feature for safeguarding our data from ransomware attacks.

We utilize Apex Central as a single unified console for comprehensive management, enhanced visibility, and effective cross-layer threat detection, hunting, and investigations. As managers of Apex One, we require a centralized console for comprehensive threat detection, investigation, and hunting across all layers of the environment to effectively monitor and manage client performance.

Apex One's single console provides end-to-end visibility into the entire IT security environment.

The end-to-end visibility has significantly reduced our response time, enabling us to respond within five minutes.

We have integrated Apex One with other security products. Apex One is able to deploy rapid updates within ten minutes of detecting threats in the network sandbox. 

The ability to deploy updates immediately is crucial for me as a security manager.

Apex One is easy to learn.

Administering Apex One is more straightforward than the other products I manage.

Apex One has helped improve our production. We were able to see the benefits within two months.

Apex One offers virtual patching to mitigate vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.

We have seen a reduction in viruses and malware since the implementation of Apex One.

Apex One has reduced our administrative overhead because it is easy to use.

Trend Micro Apex One's centralized management is user-friendly and efficient. It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM. This well-structured design facilitates effortless monitoring of the entire environment from a centralized location.

The time required for Apex One to notify us of detection in the central console should be reduced.

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for almost seven years.

I would rate the stability of Apex One nine out of ten.

Apex One is scalable and can easily manage up to 5,000 endpoints.

Our client has 5,000 employees, and each employee uses two laptops. Therefore, we have plans to increase the usage to cover 10,000 endpoints.

The technical support is good. They are able to action our requests.

Positive

We previously used Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and McAfee. We switched to Trend Micro Apex One because it offered a lower price, better central management, and is a popular solution in our country.

The deployment was straightforward and took approximately six hours to complete. The vendor provided us with resources in advance, including database and IS configurations, before arriving to implement Apex One. This facilitated the download, implementation, and licensing of Apex One. One person was required for the deployment.

The implementation was completed by a third-party vendor.

The price of Apex One is competitive and lower than the prices of the solutions we compared it to.

We evaluated the different Kaspersky and McAfee offerings in addition to Trend Micro.

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

Two people are required for maintenance.

I recommend Trend Micro Apex One. It is a good solution.

We are using their agents in our endpoints, almost 2,000 endpoints. We are using that as an EDR solution.

There is no other opinion; it's the best solution we have faced compared with Kaspersky and other solutions.

The best feature is IPS and IPS control base.

Pricing could be improved. It's a little bit expensive.

We have been using Trend Vision One Endpoint Security for almost two years.

From one to ten, I would rate the stability as eight.

It's very good and efficient. If I rate it out of ten, it would be seven to eight.

Support is handled by the global team. In my experience, I would rate it seven to eight out of ten.

Positive

In my previous organization, we used Kaspersky. This tool is better compared to Kaspersky.

It's a user-friendly tool. I would rate it eight out of ten for ease of setup.

The global team manages the implementation.

Pricing could be improved as it's a little bit expensive.

In my previous organization, we used Kaspersky.

I recommend it as the best tool for EDR and XDR solutions.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

My company is working with multiple Trend Micro solutions, including its MDM solution, but I think they have removed that one. We are using One Endpoint Security for endpoint defense. Most companies need security installed on the server and agents on all organization's devices that can be managed from the same command console, so you can apply consistent policies to everyone. Trend Micro also offers an XDR solution called Vision One. 

Before implementing One Endpoint Security, we didn't have another security product, so we can't check to see if there has been an improvement from one over the other. You can save time with Apex One. For example, you can typically save about two hours of investigation time. You can save more time if you identify the problem device earlier and block it.  Also, the action is immediate. You don't need to check, read, and understand what happens, and then perform an action. All you do is take the action. 

The XDR is helpful because it requires less work to manage the endpoints. All the alerts are inside the window, and you can apply the different tools from the same console. You can find all the information and hold it in the sandbox for 30 days in case you need to check something. You can also make a bigger sandbox with more logs, but you don't need all that normally.

I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis. 

One Endpoint Security protects against unknown and novel threats. There are different processes you can set to monitor a vector and see if something is strange, like if a process has been modified or a new tenant has been created. If so, you can block them. I have already set rules that block when you install this for the time. You can manage them on the tab. Once all the rules are set, I can sleep well knowing that anything suspicious will be blocked. The next day, I can check the logs for any device or user account and see what happened.

There isn't a single application firewall that can filter all the malware. We have different applications and build multiple layers around the business. One of these is the antivirus, but we also have something on the DNS level to control access to the DNS.

You can detect ransomware with machine learning. There are multiple options for that. The threat database compiles all the knowledge of the attack methods and they are synchronized among the different companies. Information is coming from different regions, like Europe and the United States, or other systems.

Having a single console for threat hunting and investigation is the best thing about One Endpoint Security. If you buy the complete package, you also get Vision One, and you can manage both from the same console. Before we deployed Vision One, we had different windows and consoles. Trend Micro is like eight consoles in one. It's great. 

You can integrate One Endpoint Security with some products. In our case, we have only integrated it with Microsoft 365 products, so we can scan data or filter messages that are coming from outside. 

I want more options and flexibility when creating rules. I want to set rules that are contingent, like "If this happens, then this, this, and this will happen." 

I rate One Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for stability. 

One Endpoint Security is highly scalable. We're covering more than a thousand endpoints. 

I rate Trend Micro support eight out of 10. The quality varies depending on the technician.  All of them are qualified, but some have more qualifications than others. However, I'm happy with the support overall. 

Positive

I previously worked with Kaspersky and McAfee, but we are new to the XDR. It's a relatively new service and there are only a few competing products. For example, Check Point also has this option.

I don't think that there is a significant difference between One Endpoint Security and other solutions, but I think this is an expert solution. I have not tried all of them, so I can't say definitively if they are better or worse. However, one difference is that an agent uses up processing power and computer memory. Kaspersky uses a lot of memory, whereas Micro Focus doesn't seem to cause the computer's performance to slow down. Maybe if you perform a huge scan, you'll notice it's working slower, but usually, it isn't too much.

One Endpoint Security was already deployed when I joined the company, but it's straightforward. You can do it alone, but I always prefer to have someone from the support team available to address any issues I might have. 

I find the price of One Endpoint Security to be reasonable. The pricing varies from company to company. Your business will have a different price than what we have because the product's price depends on the number of users. 

The product will likely cost more in the future because they are adding more features and will probably offer various modules, such as DLP. We will renew our license in 2025, so we will see if the price goes up. 

I rate Trend Micro One Endpoint Security eight out of 10. I only have good things to say about this product.  This solution is constantly improving and could easily become a big name. If you want a better price, you can always check out the other products on the market. More and more products can do the same thing as One Endpoint Security. One Endpoint Security will work as expected. It matters how you deploy the service. If you install it on-premises or in the cloud, they will give you a different price. 

Using One Endpoint Security isn't easy at first. It's like learning to drive a car. You won't be able to do it the first time. You will need the time to learn about this product and use it in different situations to practice.

We use Trend Vision One Endpoint Security to protect against ransomware.

Trend Vision One Endpoint Security does a good job protecting our endpoints against threats such as malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts.

Trend Vision One Endpoint Security has partially advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and new threats.

Machine learning helps detect and block ransomware attacks.

Trend Vision One Endpoint Security provides a helpful single console for cross-layered attack action, threat hunting, and investigations.

Trend Vision One Endpoint Security is easy to use.

The learning curve is not steep.

Before Trend Vision One Endpoint Security, we lacked threat-hunting abilities. Now, we can swiftly pinpoint threats and establish connections between email and endpoint data.

We are using the Trend Vision One platform for consolidated security across hybrid environments. This consolidation has improved our security operations and saved us time.

Trend Micro's Vision One platform offers a full view of our entire IT estate and empowers us to manage cyber threats more effectively. It achieves this through a combination of Zero Trust security principles, and ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities in our attack surface.

Virtual patching helps protect our endpoints within minutes of detecting a vulnerability while we wait for the full patch which can take some time.

Trend Vision One greatly reduced the viruses and malware we receive. Before Trend Vision One we would receive five callbacks each month but now we may see one or two in six months.

The managed XDR adds great value to Trend Vision One Endpoint Security because we can manage everything from one place.

The most valuable features are behavior analytics, machine learning, and virtual patching. 

To gain complete visibility across our entire IT security landscape, we need additional Trend Micro products to complement Trend Vision One Endpoint Security. We're also integrating a third-party solution with Trend Micro for a more comprehensive approach. The integration aspect has room for improvement.

The console is unstable, meaning it frequently malfunctions or lags, making it unreliable.

Trend Vision One Endpoint Security initially offered a user-friendly administration experience, but its manageability has declined over time.

The technical support response time has room for improvement.

I have been using Trend Vision One Endpoint Security for five years.

We currently have issues with assets not showing up on the console which has been lagging.

Trend Micro Vision One scales its endpoint security based on the number of licenses we purchase, allowing us to secure more devices as our organization grows.

The technical support takes a long time to get back to us.

Neutral

We've switched from McAfee because it was resource-intensive and some users reported missing malware detection.

The initial deployment was straightforward. The only time-consuming part was deploying across different locations. The deployment took two months for 5,000 users. For the deployment, we have to download the console from the agent. No more than three people are required for the deployment.

I would rate Trend Vision One Endpoint Security seven out of ten.

Two people are required for the maintenance.

I recommend waiting until Trend Micro fixes its stability problems before implementing Trend Vision One Endpoint Security.

We use Trend Micro Apex One as our primary antivirus solution.

When we use Trend Micro, we can get pop-up messages about who is connecting additional USB hard drives or disks, and about cracked software that may be malware. We can also identify these issues from the client and from the central configuration manager. We can then push patches and behavioral monitoring to protect our custom clients.

With ransomware, malware, and other threats, behavioral monitoring can be a particular benefit because it can catch and quarantine ransomware or malware that is repeatedly using the same methods, even if the malware is new or unknown.

Apex One has advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and stealthy new threats, which is important for our clients, especially those who click on infected web content.

Apex One can detect most ransomware variants with real-time machine learning, which helps to detect threats before they spread.

We leveraged the practice sessions and Trend Micro's support to learn how to use Apex One which made it easy.

Administering Apex One is straightforward. We have a helpline available for the software, and the administrator user-level guide is accessible online.

Apex One has helped our organization improve its endpoint detection.

It has reduced the number of viruses and malware by more than 95 percent.

Apex One has reduced our administrative overhead by one hour per day because we can perform all administrative tasks from a single console.

Web reputation and behavior monitoring are valuable features, as they allow us to control which websites users can visit and download from, and to protect against ransomware.

The Apex One endpoint sensor has room for improvement.

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for three years.

Trend Micro Apex One is stable.

We are managing 2,800 PCs and servers without any issues. With our current setup, Apex One can handle up to 5,000 PCs.

The technical support team is available 24/7 and they are located in Dubai and India.

Positive

Our previous three antivirus solutions were Trend Micro 7, 8, and XP before we upgraded to Apex One.

Our organization is responsible for the deployment of Apex One to all of our client's endpoints. The deployment is straightforward. The deployment took around five days. 

To deploy Apex One, we must first install it on the server. Then, open the firewall ports for all freelance clients. Next, check the availability of the client-server communication port. In the directory, place the login script and the existing agent. The client will then be automatically pushed to the Apex One Control Manager. The agent will be notified that there is new software available that needs to be migrated. The upgrade will take place, and the client will need to be restarted for the agent to be installed. The same process applies to roaming clients.

Eighteen people were involved in the deployment because there were 16 sites, including airports, landports, and seaports.

Trend Micro Apex One is affordable. The licensing fee and support are bundled together.

I would rate Trend Micro Apex One eight out of ten.

Apex One is deployed across multiple locations, connecting endpoint servers, PCs, and laptops to the LAN network through fiber channels of the Ministry of Communication, landlines, and private networks to our centralized data center.

We use two people for maintenance to ensure that updates are automatically pushed through to the servers.

Endgame and SentinelOne provide more protection than Apex One.

We used it as an antivirus for endpoints. 

We implemented Apex One to have secure endpoints. I am an IT administrator, and I look into security. We chose this product because there is a SaaS-based platform through which the manageability is easy. No on-premise-specific connectivity is required for centralized management. The agents that are installed on the endpoints can communicate well with Trend Micro Cloud and get the latest updates. All the logs and other things flow seamlessly between the endpoint and Trend Micro Cloud.

We saw a plethora of benefits, specifically in terms of managed endpoints. We could see all the AV statuses in the console, and we could sort all the alerts and other things in a single console. It was easy from the management point of view and the compliance point of view. We were happy with the product.

Apex One is good for defending endpoints against threats such as malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts. It does not detect ransomware on every occasion with its runtime machine-learning capabilities, but it is pretty good.

It provides a single console for cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigation. These capabilities are pretty important for us. Security is one of the most important parts of any enterprise, especially in the hybrid work culture environment where everybody is not working from an office location. The workforce is mobile. People are working from home and other locations. In those scenarios, security becomes a requirement.

Apex One's single console does not provide end-to-end visibility into the entire IT security environment, but it does give visibility into the antivirus side. With security, there are multiple things such as multifactor authentication, single sign-on, access management, rule-based accesses, automated detection and response, and cloud-based security. All this is not there with Apex One. The scope of Apex One is the endpoint. It is installed on endpoints as an antivirus, and it gives a complete view of that but not the overall IT security.

Apex One is a pretty simple solution. It is pretty easy to master.

It was pretty helpful in reducing the employee workload. There was ease of management and deployment. We did not have to install it manually. It was automated onboarding. It was pretty good. It reduced our workload by 10% to 20%.

Apex One reduced viruses and malware. There was a 20% to 30% reduction.

Apex One has advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and stealthy new threats, but for the automated response, you need an XDR solution so that no IT admin is required to respond to any threat. Apex One does not have this capability. For this, you need a higher product or subscription from Trend Micro.

Apex One is easy to manage, but there is an administrative overhead because of the way Apex One creates a structure of the organization with OUs and other things. If you have a large number of devices in the organization, it is a bit of an administrative overhead to manage them because you have to look into each and every device and its compliance. Around 5% to 10% of devices would act as rogue, would not be compliant, or would not be connecting. They require manual intervention where you go and reinstall Apex One agent on the device.

In terms of security, Trend Micro is pretty fast and good at dealing with any outbreaks or vulnerabilities exposed in the environment. The updates and patches that come through Trend Micro are pretty good, and they are fast to respond to any malicious or vulnerable things in the environment. That is one of the best features. 

The antivirus itself is also lightweight. It does not hamper the performance. It is not resource-hungry. It does not impact the overall performance of the device. It is just there, and it is easy to use.

The console can be better in terms of management and viewing the hierarchy of devices. Currently, setting up the hierarchy OU-wise is a bit cumbersome. It can be made a bit easier. If that can be more user-friendly and easier to manage, it would be great.

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for the last two years.

It is a stable solution. If it is given the right amount of management and administration, it is a good solution.

Its scalability is good. It is a cloud solution. It is easy to expand your capacity. You just have to buy a new set of licenses or additional licenses, and they can mount that capacity in your cloud platform.

We have multiple locations and multiple departments. In our organization, we have around 6,000 users who are scattered globally. Most of them are based in India. About 40% are in the United States of America, and 10% to 20% are in Europe.

I am satisfied with their support. I would rate them a seven out of ten. They are like any other company's support. If you are facing a specific problem that requires in-depth analysis, it can get hard to get to the right engineer. It can take time to get through to the right engineer.

Neutral

We were using McAfee before using Apex One. Pricing, functionality, and ease of management were the reasons for moving to Apex One.

We have recently migrated from Apex One to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Apex One is an Endpoint Detection and Response or EDR solution, whereas Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has XDR capabilities. Apart from detection, it is also helping in responding to those detections and providing automated responses to those detections. In addition, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is bundled with our subscription. Security is a part of it, so we decided to go for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, but Apex One was our solution for two years. During the COVID time, when we went into a hybrid work environment and people were working from home, it helped us very well during that time.

It was overall straightforward, but there were a few challenges. The reason we went for Apex One was that it is a cloud-based solution. 

It was pretty straightforward to enroll the endpoints. We integrated it with our Active Directory and all the devices were easily enrolled.

The removal of Trend Micro was challenging. When we moved away from Trend Micro, it was a bit of a challenge to remove the tool.

In terms of maintenance, it does require maintenance. From time to time, there will be new agent versions that need to be deployed. The first time also, we had to deploy the agents through SCCM. There are regular updates from Trend Micro. About 80% to 90% of devices get those updates and about 10% to 20% lag behind, so it does require regular monitoring and sometimes manual intervention to check why the updates are not happening. You might have to reinstall the agent on a device.

In a few scenarios, we did engage with Trend Micro where we had an additional or early release of the patches that can be deployed, and we did use that support.

There were two people from our organization, and there were two people from our partner who helped us with the solution.

It was as per expectations. It did the job well. We were using it for our internal IT, so there was not much return on the investment. It was covering the cost, and it was doing the job as expected.

It is cost-efficient.

I would recommend doing a proof of concept. I would recommend this product in certain scenarios. If you are just sticking to Apex One and not going for the XDR solution from Trend Micro, you are missing out on modern-day security practices. Just going for Apex One might not help your environment if you are into security and have users based in different locations. I would suggest going for an XDR solution if you are going for Trend Micro. Also, if you are using Microsoft 365 subscriptions or any higher subscription with Microsoft that includes Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, then you can go for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It is a good XDR solution, so you can use it instead of investing in another security solution.

Overall, I would rate Trend Micro Apex One an eight out of ten. As a product, it is pretty cool. It delivers what is promised.

We use Trend Micro to troubleshoot and monitor. We implemented it to gain more visibility into the networks we manage. Automatic network mapping helps visualize the network.

Trend Micro reduces our response time by around 40 percent. We can patch vulnerabilities and create specific rules to fix issues before an official solution is available. We've also reduced viruses and malware by about 30 percent. 

The Trend Micro security products are well-integrated with each other, creating a lot of value for the company. We need a comprehensive solution for preventing all cyberattacks and problems users cause when they don't understand the dangers of clicking on phishing websites, emails, attachments, etc. The company needs to reduce its exposure to threats. If we lose the data, we lose the company. 

Apex One provides a single console for receiving information about each machine, virus, malware, etc. The console receives telemetry from each machine that we can consolidate and view on one dashboard. We can see all the problems and vulnerabilities to make the best choices to prevent, restore, or recover. It gives us unified visibility into our entire IT environment. It's easy to administer Apex One. There are some advanced settings, but they aren't difficult to understand, and the documentation is detailed. 

OfficeScan wasn't 100 percent perfect when it was rolled out, but integration with Apex One improved its efficiency for dealing with trending attacks or ransomware. Initially, it wasn't very good, but now we can better control the environment. 

Trend Micro has advanced protection capabilities that cover unknown and advanced novel threats. It's critical because restoration could be complicated if we lose machines or information on the machine. If we lose some business information, we might run afoul of the law. Apex One can prevent all these incidents. It's an excellent solution.

Machine-learning ransomware detection is essential, as ransomware attacks can be difficult to contain. Without this agent, we wouldn't know that we lost all this information, and we might be forced to close the company and lose money.

Initially, it isn't easy to understand the console because most of the applications integrate through Visual One. When we create a new dashboard, it takes some time to adapt, but the IT staff does not have any problems.

We have used Trend Micro for seven years.

Trend Micro's support has been very helpful.

Deployment is simple. The engine was difficult to install the first time, but the latest versions are different. The package is small and doesn't affect the performance. It deploys quickly and we start receiving the telemetry on the console fast. 

Trend Micro reduces equipment costs. We don't need to buy services for an on-prem data center.

In Brazil, Trend Micro is cheaper than its big competitors like CrowdStrike and Symantec.

We evaluated several products and landed on the Trend Micro stack because it can be integrated with different solutions. They also have products covering various IT areas, such as networks, email, etc., that we can control from one place and manage from our mobile phones. The appeal of Trend Micro is that we can consolidate all our security and IT tasks into one console.

I rate Trend Micro eight out of 10. 

We use Trend Micro Apex One to monitor our security environment. 

Apex One helps us defend our endpoints against threats such as malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts. We have configured Apex One to send us alerts so that we can take remedial action.

Apex One has advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and stealthy threats. These advanced protection capabilities are important because most targets are end users who are not well-informed and make mistakes that can end up compromising our entire environment.

It uses its runtime machine learning capabilities to detect ransomware attacks.

They provide a single console for cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigations. I find the single console very useful because it eliminates the need to log in to multiple consoles to view different security layers, such as Mail Security. For example, I can see all of my security information in one place, without having to log in and out of different consoles.

The single console provides end-to-end visibility into our entire IT security environment, which has helped to reduce our response time. We configured the alerting and have dealt with a lot of false positives since there are often a few false positives among security alerts. The solution is also capable of performing remedial actions without requiring me to actively monitor it. For example, I am working towards the mole, and there is no one in the office monitoring it because we do not have 24/7 monitoring. We have configured the solution so that I will be notified whenever there are alerts, and the solution will take action from the cloud.

Apex One integrates well with all our security products. 

I'm more technically inclined. When I joined my current company, I had never used Apex One before, but I've been able to navigate it easily since then. We have some reading materials, but the best thing about Apex One is that it provides recommendations, just like Microsoft Sentinel. This makes it easy to learn. If I'm not sure about something, I can go to the Learning Hub and watch videos on how to do it, in case there's something I don't understand.

The difficulty level of administering Apex One is reasonable. Many features are self-explanatory. For example, if we click on an alert, it provides a recommendation of what to do. Therefore, learning to use Apex One is not difficult. In general, all these security products are not difficult to use. For example, I have never used QRadar, but I believe it would not be difficult because I have used similar products in the past. All these products have many similarities.

We have seen a reduction in viruses and malware since we implemented Apex One. Occasionally, when I review tickets or attend SecOps meetings, I only see a presentation of what has been detected. However, I can confidently state that the number of incidents has decreased significantly, as we have not had many since I joined the company.

Apex One as SaaS has helped reduce our staff's workload by deploying endpoints in the cloud. We do not need to monitor our environment all day.

I believe the managed XDR adds value to our Apex One deployment. 

Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy. I also enjoy having a single platform.

Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement.

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for one year.

I would rate the stability of Trend Micro Apex One as eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Trend Micro Apex One as eight out of ten. We are currently looking into increasing our usage.

Technical support is excellent. We have an account manager who is always available to help us when we have a problem, regardless of the time zone difference.

Neutral

In my previous organization, I used CrowdStrike. The single platform offered by Trend Micro Apex One is an advantage.

I would rate Trend Micro Apex One eight out of ten.

Apex One provides virtual patching to protect against vulnerabilities, but we don't use the feature because we are already using Qualys Patch Management.

We have 20 people who use Apex One within our organization, including 10 administrators.
