Can be used to easily update policies on the cloud
Pros and Cons
  • "I'm using the cloud solution, which I really like. I like being able to update policies on the cloud so that when users who are working from home connect to the internet, their laptops will be updated automatically. I also like that this solution is easy to use and is stable and scalable"
  • "More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team."

What is our primary use case?

We currently have limited users, less than 100. We have found it difficult to manage users who are working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trend Micro Apex One has been a good option to update policies. I change the policy on the cloud so that it will be drilled down or updated automatically on the laptops when the users connect to the internet.

How has it helped my organization?

It has been very useful, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many users are working from home. Trend Micro Apex One has enabled us to easily update policies on the cloud so that they will be drilled down or updated automatically on the laptops when the users connect to the internet.

What is most valuable?

I'm using the cloud solution, which I really like. I like being able to update policies on the cloud so that when users who are working from home connect to the internet, their laptops will be updated automatically. I also like that this solution is easy to use and is stable and scalable.

In the case of ransomware files, artificial intelligence is used in some places to start encrypting the files. I like the fact that Trend Micro Apex One has an option to restart the process and back up the files that are being encrypted.

What needs improvement?

More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team.

787,779 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I feel that it is a stable solution that is easy to use as well.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think Trend Micro Apex One is scalable. Right now, we have limited users, under 100.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security and added Trend Micro Apex One to our environment.

How was the initial setup?

Installation is very simple when a web portal is available. You can log in and create the policy. The initial setup process took about one to two hours. 

What about the implementation team?

I was able to implement it myself with the help of the vendor.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The setup is easy, and if your servers are managed on the cloud, you won't need to hire additional staff for deployment and maintenance.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Trend Micro Apex One at nine. If you are looking for a data solution along with the end point, this would be an option to consider. 

Also, Trend Micro Apex One has DLP options.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Reasonably priced, good anti-malware, stable, and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
  • "It should have a single agent as competitors are offering."

What is most valuable?

It's a good product. The software is good. 

We have not been faced with any issues as far as antivirus, or anti-malware is concerned.

Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP. We have been using that and found it to be very useful.

Previously, we were using OfficeScan and now it is Apex Central. The Smart Scan feature and the update frequency have improved. The antivirus updates used to be once or twice a day, now it's in real-time. Every two hours there is a new definition or there is a new pack, which is a good thing.

We also like that it has Advanced Threat Protection because it is a good feature.

What needs improvement?

The driving force behind Trend Micro is not wanting two different agents on the same machine. If the cloud proxy could be on the same agent, it would increase our footprint on the client machine. Instead of running two agents, we think it would be better to run a single one.

The only concern that I have is with Trend Micro not having Cloud Proxy integrated into the same agent and the same console. 

They have two different products, Cloud Proxy, and Anti-malware with DLP, which the only reason we are considering replacing it.

It should have a single agent, as competitors are offering.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for four and a half years. 

Presently, the version we are using is Apex Central.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is quite stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trend Micro Apex One is very much scalable.

We have 1,000 licenses.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Trend Micro, we were using McAfee.

We switched because of the price difference. There is a huge price difference between Trend Micro and McAfee.

What about the implementation team?

Our local partners deployed this solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are not required to buy new licenses. The existing licenses will expire and we have to renew the license. 

The issue is that we have requested a web proxy, cloud proxy feature, but the cloud proxy, with Trend Micro, has a different console, it's a different agent. 

But I understand other competitors like CrowdStrike and Sophos, have a single agent for anti-malware that includes the DLP, the device control, and the cloud proxy.

The price for Trend Micro is reasonable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Because it is time for renewal, I have been evaluating other solutions to see if I should stay with Trend Micro or if I should replace it. We are evaluating products such as Crowdstrike, Sophos, and Cloud Proxy, but the prices are quite high.

What other advice do I have?

The product is very good. It's stable, and if you are not looking for a cloud based proxy then you should go for Trend Micro. The pricing is very good, but Cloud proxy pricing is very high.

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

Provides swift vulnerability attack and detection, and demonstrates a strong ability to protect endpoints against various threats
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the vulnerability attack and detection since it enables swift action."
  • "The UI has room for improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use Trend Micro Apex One for Endpoint detection.

We have deployed Apex One both on-premises and as a SaaS.

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Micro Apex One demonstrates a strong ability to protect endpoints against various threats, including malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts. The solution is considered one of the best in our region's market.

Apex One's advanced protection capabilities adapt to safeguard against unidentified threats, making this visibility crucial for endpoint security.

Apex One's runtime machine learning helps in detecting ransomware, for which we are grateful.

The learning curve for Apex One is easy. The documentation from Trend Micro is excellent, covering all aspects of security, and we also have access to their personnel if needed.

The administrative aspect of Apex One becomes easier as we continue to use the solution. Initially, we encountered some challenges with technical threats and passwords, but Trend Micro promptly assisted us in resolving these issues.

Apex One has helped our staff save time and has also assisted with saving resources.

Apex One has automatically blocked all malware and ransomware.

The deployment of endpoints in the cloud has reduced our employee workloads by 1,200 endpoints.

Apex One reduces administrative overhead by automating many tasks and consolidating all the information into a single dashboard.

We utilize Trend Micro's XDR in combination with Apex One. The pairing of XDR and Apex One enhances the security of our environment.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the vulnerability attack and detection since it enables swift action.

What needs improvement?

The UI has room for improvement. Trend Micro Apex One does not allow us to select a user and deploy a product while creating a new policy and adding users. For example, this limitation occurs when trying to add a USB block.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Apex One is extremely stable, which is important to me.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Apex One is highly scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is helpful and efficient.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment took one hour and we had the assistance of the Trend Micro team.

What about the implementation team?

The Trend Micro team helped with our first deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Apex One has a high cost.

What other advice do I have?

I give Trend Micro Apex One an eight out of ten.

Apex One is deployed in our government headquarters as well as 50 branches.

For maintenance, we have a technical team that conducts security and policy checks every quarter.

I recommend Apex One to others.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Solid endpoint security with zero-day vulnerability.
Pros and Cons
  • "The features that I have found most valuable are the endpoint security with the zero-day vulnerability. They have an on-premise sandboxing solution which prevents any of those zero-day vulnerability issues."
  • "The main thing they need to improve is their reporting functionality and the forensics for their on-premise consult. They do not have very good reporting features or forensic functionality in the on-premise version. They need to improve that."

What is our primary use case?

We are using the Trend Micro Apex One in two scenarios. One is for endpoint security and the other is for endpoint management. We are also using the restricting USB tool, taxes, and application control.

What is most valuable?

The features that I have found most valuable are the endpoint security with the zero-day vulnerability. They have an on-premise sandboxing solution which prevents any of those zero-day vulnerability issues.

What needs improvement?

The main thing they need to improve is their reporting functionality and the forensics for their on-premise consult. They do not have very good reporting features or forensic functionality in the on-premise version. They need to improve that. They have a cloud version called Trend Micro XDR. It has that functionality, but they do not have that kind of thing on the on-premise solution.

The things I would like to see improved in future releases are better price and support, and the reporting functionality in the on-premise solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for a very long time. We are a long-term customer with Trend Micro - more than five years. We have the latest version of Trend Micro on-premise with EDR support.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable, that is why we are a long-term customer. Right?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trend Micro Apex One is scalable.

We have approximately 1,500 plus users using it and we require only two people to manage it. 

In terms of increasing usage, that depends on the number of employees. We are marginally increasing this year by year. It all depends on the business bracket.

How are customer service and support?

Their support needs to be improved. We need to wait for a long time to get even a quick fix -  this needs to be addressed on the Trend Micro side. Their support is not as good as expected. The people are knowledgeable but they take a long time.

How was the initial setup?

I cannot tell you exactly if it was straightforward or not because it was very long back that we installed it. At that time we faced some issues because we needed to identify what was missing. Those kinds of issues were there, and slowly, we sorted that out.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented with a Trend Micro implementation partner.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Previously, we had the three years package. Now, we are just renewing every year.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Apex One to other people. But it is a little bit of a pricey product. If they are able to pay this costly price, then definitely, I can recommend it.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Trend Micro Apex One an eight.

Integrates well, stable, scalable, and has good support
Pros and Cons
  • "The main benefit is the threat intelligence network of Trend Micro."
  • "The DLP model needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution as our endpoint security solution.

What is most valuable?

We are very satisfied with Trend Micro products.

The main benefit is the threat intelligence network of Trend Micro. It is very good.

It checks all signatures to ensure they are the latest and most up-to-date with the latest vulnerabilities. 

The threat intelligence network is very good in Trend Micro.

It integrates well with different products. We are currently using three or four different versions of this endpoint. We use it in the security sector, we use Deep Security and it is working very well.

What needs improvement?

The integration needs to be improved. We are using the IDLP models and DLP models. 

When integrating we are having some issues with the customization of our DLP policies.

The DLP model needs improvement. When compared to other market DLP products it is not as strong.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One since 2018. Prior to this, it was known as OfficeScan.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trend Micro Apex One is quite stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable product.

We are an enterprise business with approximately 1300 endpoint users.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is fine. When we raised issues or complaints they would respond and resolve the issues in a timely fashion.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Earlier, I was working with OfficeScan, which was the previous brand.

We also use Trend Micro Endpoint, and Trend Micro Deep Discovery Inspector, and Deep Security.

I have been using Trend Micro Endpoint for the last five years.

With Trend Micro Deep Security and Trend Micro Apex One, the use cases are different. One is directly designed for server security and the other is for endpoint devices, which are mostly Windows 10 and Windows 8.

We are using Deep Security for our server and Apex One for our endpoints.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Trend Micro Apex One is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

From a commercial aspect, it is a bit higher compared to other market products.

What other advice do I have?

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

Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable and scalable."
  • "The solution could use extra dashboards and offer more analytics."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for protecting the computers from viruses.

What is most valuable?

This product is stable and scalable; it's on the cloud so it's very easy to use. 

What needs improvement?

I'd like to see extra dashboards and more analytics. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for about eight years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy, I deployed myself together with an assistant and I estimate it took us around 10 minutes per computer. We probably have around 150 users. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We pay the license on a quarterly basis - sometimes we need to review a few details.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

Great configuration for device management but has a long deployment process
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
  • "It has good signature-based capabilities, but features like “shape detection” can be improved upon."

What is our primary use case?

For me, the use cases for Micro Apex apply to some agents only.

How has it helped my organization?

It is a great product capability-wise.

What is most valuable?

One of the features I like in Micro ApexOne is the configuration for device management; it is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases. For example, some job titles require specific and granular integrations for device management since the check is different from USB.

What needs improvement?

It has good signature-based capabilities. It's good for its capabilities but should offer a module with integrated machine learning where you can detect behaviour and knowledge.

Another significant issue is the deployment process; it is a little longer process and takes around five to six months.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for a year and a half. Although, I only log in a third of the time.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not faced any significant problems with stability on my computer. Therefore, I would rate it a seven as well, the same as scalability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

Tech support could be better for a local company. I would give the tech support an overall rating of six and a half. We have to notify them that people are also using their product here.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is difficult because the process is long, and it took us about five to six months because CORETech is about that size.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed it on-premise.

What other advice do I have?

As a whole, I would rate Micro ApexOne a seven out of ten.

Responsive technical support, plenty of features, and high performance
Pros and Cons
  • "Some of the valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are DLP, encryption, and patch management."
  • "All the features in Trend Micro Apex One are not compatible or functional for all the different operating systems. For example, they have fewer features in other operating systems compared to what they have for Microsoft Windows. It would be nice if they could have one solution which all functions work on all kinds of operating systems. It would be much easier for those who have different operating systems in their environment to have one solution."

Trend Micro has an edge over other solutions in technical support because they have local support.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is very easy and quick, it takes approximately five to six hours to complete.

What about the implementation team?

We have one technician that deals with the implementation and maintenance of the solution. However, if you are going to implement the solution in an enterprise-level company then you will need a team of two to three.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated other solutions, such as Kaspersky.

What other advice do I have?

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