Pros and Cons
  • "Trend Vision One's most valuable feature is its centralized console, which provides comprehensive security features, including attack surface risk management."
  • "Overall, I rate Trend Vision One a ten out of ten as I am extremely happy with Trend Micro's capabilities and their platform's strength."
  • "Expanding compatibility to include currently unsupported security tools, such as firewalls, would be beneficial."
  • "To improve support, the company should streamline communication and reduce response times."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use Trend Vision One for its XDR capabilities, email security features, and MDR services offered through ServiceOne. Leveraging these Trend Vision One products allows us to provide robust security solutions to our customers.

My customers range from small non-profits with 40 endpoints to large enterprises with over 2,000 endpoints across diverse sectors, including energy, manufacturing, finance, and software.

How has it helped my organization?

Vision One possesses machine learning predictive capabilities that have already proven effective. In the past week alone, it detected and blocked two scans for unknown threats. This capability is crucial, especially since our predominantly Canadian customer base faces an elevated risk of cyberattacks from China due to the recent government-level ban on TikTok. Consequently, we anticipate an increase in attacks. Trend Vision One boasts the largest zero-day initiative, renowned for its proficiency in detecting such threats.

The single console in Vision One streamlines cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigation, incorporating sandbox analysis and log search capabilities. It allows for endpoint isolation, remote shell establishment, and integration with tools like Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID. Automated playbooks enable actions such as endpoint isolation, custom script execution, forensic investigations, user lockouts, and password resets, all of which are customizable. This automation is crucial for containing threats outside of working hours, as playbooks can be configured to automatically execute actions based on specific criteria, mitigating damage before staff return.

The single console provides comprehensive visibility across the entire IT security environment, including endpoints, cloud activity, workflow protection, email protection, and mobile device management, all within a single, unified platform.

Trend Vision One integrates with a range of security products, including various SIEM solutions, vulnerability management tools, and select firewalls. A comprehensive list of compatible products is available on Trend Micro's website.

Trend Vision One is relatively easy to learn for those with some security background. While first-time users may find it initially confusing, abundant learning resources such as YouTube videos and comprehensive documentation are available to help users quickly familiarize themselves with the platform.

Some of my customers maintain hybrid environments, and Trend Vision One enhances visibility by consolidating all systems into a single platform.

Trend Vision One has malware scanning capabilities, allowing it to detect, quarantine, and block malware effectively.

Trend's Managed Detection and Response service provides continuous 24/7 monitoring, effectively reducing staff workloads by eliminating the need for in-house security monitoring.

Trend Vision One improves my organization's visibility by consolidating security functions into a single console. These capabilities enhance our security operations, making it easier to manage threats.

What is most valuable?

Trend Vision One's most valuable feature is its centralized console, which provides comprehensive security features, including attack surface risk management. This allows for benchmarking our risk score against similar organizations based on size, industry, and location. Additionally, it offers endpoint vulnerability assessment, user behavior analytics, and standard XDR detection capabilities.

What needs improvement?

An area for improvement is integrating more tools with Trend Micro's SIEM. Expanding compatibility to include currently unsupported security tools, such as firewalls, would be beneficial.

Empowers teams to quickly identify and manage cyber risks through detailed insights and continuous support
Pros and Cons
  • "Trend Vision One has increased our endpoint visibility and reduced attack vectors, enabling us to identify and respond to vulnerabilities and threats faster, which has reduced our response time by an estimated 25–30%."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Trend Vision One as our primary security solution on all endpoints, servers, and clients in our environment. Through third-party integrations, we’ve also connected solutions from other vendors (including VMware and Fortinet).


    How has it helped my organization?

    Trend Vision One has increased our endpoint visibility and reduced attack vectors. We can now identify and respond to vulnerabilities and threats faster. This has reduced our response time by an estimated 25–30%. Vision One provides notifications about specific risks and helps us understand where the general risks lie, enabling proactive mitigation.

    With other vendors, we’ve had to manually check for vulnerabilities in products and assess whether those vulnerabilities were relevant. Now, Vision One handles much of that process. It provides detailed information for each user and endpoint about existing risks and how to mitigate them.

    I often compare patching vulnerabilities in Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) to playing a game — the goal is to collect as few points as possible. The lower our score, the more secure our environment is. And like in real life, there are ups and downs because new risks arise daily. Vision One is an important tool for communicating risk assessments to management while also helping operational staff understand what risks mean and how to reduce them.



    What is most valuable?

    The feature I find most valuable in Vision One is CREM. CREM helps our company identify blind spots. It provides detailed information about the actions and improvements we should take to secure our environment, and gives concrete recommendations about how to resolve vulnerabilities.

    As part of our Service One Complete service agreement, we have bi-weekly meetings with a Technical Account Manager (TAM) who advises us on improving security settings and informs us — even between meetings — about new attack scenarios and how to counter them.



    What needs improvement?

    It’s hard to pinpoint areas where Vision One could be improved or where additional features are needed. I’ve been working with the solution for three years, and Trend Micro is constantly developing. Sometimes, it’s hard to keep track of all the updates and added features.

    I feel that Trend Micro is now better at identifying my needs than I am at recognizing them myself.


    For how long have I used the solution?

    Vision One has been in use at the company for three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability is excellent. In my opinion, performance and availability are both very good.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of the solution is very good. We have not encountered any limitations as our environment has grown.

    How are customer service and support?


    I would rate customer service extremely positively. Support responds quickly, and together we’ve been able to solve all challenges in our day-to-day operations. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate customer service and technical support a 9 — there should always be room for improvement.


    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

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

    Before Trend Vision One, we used a solution from Kaspersky. The switch was prompted by the German BSI’s security warning regarding Kaspersky's antivirus products.

    How was the initial setup?

    I was heavily involved in the rollout and deployment of the solution. Implementation was relatively quick and smooth. We used a deployment script distributed to endpoints through our software distribution system.

    Our rollout strategy started with a small number of endpoints being configured with antivirus and policies. After reviewing and refining the policies, Vision One was rolled out in phases to the remaining endpoints.



    What about the implementation team?

    We needed only one staff member for the implementation of Trend Vision One, and that was me.

    What was our ROI?

    The investment in Trend Micro Vision One has paid off, although ROI is difficult to calculate. A security solution is like a good insurance policy — ideally, you never need to use it. We haven’t had any incidents so far, and hope it stays that way.

    I’ve noticed that the continuous visibility of potential risks has made our environment more secure and has enabled colleagues to respond faster, saving valuable working time.



    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before we decided on Vision One, we also evaluated solutions from other vendors, including Microsoft and Fortinet. The differences between the products were not significant — they were more in the details. But since we had already been a Trend partner for 15 years (12 of them inactive), we ultimately decided to return to Trend Micro.

    What other advice do I have?

    Three years ago, we followed a different concept: two independent security solutions with separate management and reporting. Migrating to Vision One and consolidating everything into one interface gave us a 365° view of our IT infrastructure.

    Central visibility of endpoints and vulnerabilities, as well asunified management, brought a new level of focus to IT security and boosted employee awareness.

    If you're evaluating Trend Micro, don’t limit yourself to antivirus functionalities. Consider other features as well — especially the Managed Services, (strong technical support), and Cyber Risk Exposure Management capabilities, which I find highly valuable.

    Create a centralized view of your IT infrastructure.

    Define which features are important or necessary for you.

    Get a comprehensive overview when evaluating different security vendors in terms of features and costs — so you’re not comparing apples to oranges.



    Foreign Language: (German)

    Ermöglicht Teams, Cyberrisiken schnell zu erkennen und zu managen – durch detaillierte Einblicke und kontinuierliche Unterstützung

    Was ist unser primärer Anwendungsfall?

    Trend Vision One kommt als primäre Sicherheitslösung auf allen Endpunkten (Server und Clients) in unserer Umgebung zum Einsatz. Darüber hinaus sind über die Third-Party Integration auch die von uns eingesetzten Lösungen weiterer Hersteller (u. a. VMware, Fortinet) eingebunden.

    Wie hat es meiner Organisation geholfen?

    Trend Vision One hat uns geholfen, die Sichtbarkeit der Endpunkte zu erhöhen und den Angriffsvektor zu verringern. Wir können schneller Schwachstellen/Bedrohungen identifizieren und darauf reagieren. Dadurch konnte unsere Reaktionszeit um schätzungsweise fünfundzwanzig bis dreißig Prozent gesenkt werden. Mit Vision One wird man über konkrete Risiken benachrichtigt und lernt, wo die Risiken im Allgemeinen liegen. So kann man aktiv daran arbeiten, diese zu beheben.

    Früher mussten wir aus eigener Initiative heraus überprüfen, welche Schwachstellen bei bestimmten Herstellern bestehen und einschätzen, ob diese Schwachstellen für uns relevant sind. Das wird jetzt bereits zu einem großen Teil von Vision One erledigt. Herunter gebrochen bis auf jeden einzelnen Benutzer und Endpunkt wird dediziert angegeben, welche Risiken bestehen und wie diese verringert werden können.

    Ich vergleiche die Behebung von Schwachstellen im Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) mit einem umgekehrten Spiel. Es geht darum, so wenige Punkte wie möglich zu sammeln. Je niedriger unser Score ist, desto sicherer ist die Umgebung. Und wie im echten Leben gibt es Höhen und Tiefen, weil es täglich neue Risiken gibt.

    Letztendlich ist Vision One ein wichtiges Tool, um einerseits eine allgemeine Risikobewertung für Führungskräfte/ Manager durchzuführen, und andererseits für operative Mitarbeiter, um zu wissen, was dieses Risiko tatsächlich beinhaltet und wie es sich reduzieren lässt.

    Was ist am wertvollsten?

    Die Funktion, die ich in Trend Vision One besonders wertvoll finde, ist Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM). CREM hilft unserem Unternehmen, blinde Flecken zu identifizieren. Diese wichtige Funktion zeigt sehr detailliert und umfassend auf, wo Handlungsbedarf oder Verbesserungspotenzial besteht. Gleichzeitig bietet es den Kollegen konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen, wie Schwachstellen geschlossen werden können.

    Ein Bestandteil unseres Service One Complete Service-Vertrages sind zwei wöchentliche Meetings mit einem TAM (Technical Account Manager), der uns berät, wo Verbesserungspotenzial bei den Sicherheitseinstellungen besteht und uns regelmäßig – auch zwischen den Meetings – informiert, wenn es neue Angriffsszenarien gibt und wie diesen entgegengewirkt werden kann.

    Was muss verbessert werden?

    Bereiche, in denen Vision One verbessert werden könnte oder wo zusätzliche Funktionen erforderlich sind, sind schwer zu bestimmen. Ich arbeite jetzt seit drei Jahren mit der Lösung und Trend Micro arbeitet ständig an deren Weiterentwicklung. Stellenweise ist man gar nicht in der Lage, alle Änderungen zu erfassen oder welche zusätzlichen Funktionen eingebunden werden.

    Ich glaube, Trend Micro ist derzeit schneller dabei, meine Bedürfnisse zu identifizieren, als ich sie überhaupt selbst erkenne.

    Wie lange verwende ich die Lösung bereits?

    Vision One ist seit drei Jahren im Unternehmen im Einsatz.

    Was denke ich über die Stabilität der Lösung?

    Die Stabilität der Lösung ist sehr gut. Meiner Meinung nach sind Leistung und Verfügbarkeit sehr gut.

    Was denke ich über die Skalierbarkeit der Lösung?

    Die Skalierbarkeit der Lösung ist sehr gut. Wir sind bisher auf keine Einschränkungen beim Wachstum unserer Umgebung gestoßen.

    Wie sind Kundendienst und Support?

    Ich würde die Erreichbarkeit und Kompetenz von Service und Support von Trend Micro als sehr hoch bewerten, ich bin sehr zufrieden. Antworten und Lösungen kommen prompt, das Personal ist professionell und auf einem sehr hohen Kommunikationsniveau.

    Wie würden Sie Kundendienst und Support bewerten?

    Äußerst positiv. Kundendienst und Support reagieren zeitnah. Gemeinsam konnten bisher alle Herausforderungen unseres Tagesgeschäftes gelöst werden.Auf einer Skala von eins bis zehn würde ich den Kundendienst und den technischen Support für Trend Vision One mit einer Neun bewerten. Es muss ja noch Luft nach oben bleiben.

    Welche Lösung habe ich vorher verwendet und warum bin ich gewechselt?

    Vor Trendmicro Vision One war die Lösung von Kaspersky im Einsatz. Der Auslöser für den Wechsel war die vom BSI ausgesprochene Sicherheitswarnung vor den Virenschutzprodukten des Herstellers.

    Wie war die anfängliche Einrichtung?

    An der Einführung und Bereitstellung der Lösung war ich maßgeblich beteiligt. Die Implementierung erfolgte relativ schnell und problemlos mit einem Deployment-Skript, welches über das Software-Verteilungssystem auf die Endpunkte gebracht wurde.

    Unsere Implementierungsstrategie sah vor, dass zunächst eine kleine Anzahl von Endpunkten mit Virenschutz und Richtlinien versorgt wurde. Dann wurden die Richtlinien noch einmal überprüft und verfeinert. Abschließend wurde Vision One in mehreren Etappen auf die restlichen Endpunkte ausgerollt.

    Wie war unser ROI?

    Die Investition in Trend Micro Vision One hat sich rentiert, aber der ROI ist schwer zu berechnen. Eine Sicherheitslösung ist wie eine gute Versicherung, die man hoffentlich nicht braucht. Wir hatten bisher keine Vorfälle und hoffen natürlich, dass wir auch in Zukunft keine haben werden.

    Ich stelle fest, dass unsere Umgebung durch die permanente Sichtbarkeit von potentiellen Risiken sicherer geworden ist und dass die Kollegen schneller auf diese reagieren können. Das spart vor allem Arbeitszeit.

    Welche anderen Lösungen habe ich evaluiert?

    Bevor wir uns für Vision One entschieden haben, haben wir auch die Lösungen anderer Hersteller evaluiert, unter anderem die von Microsoft und Fortinet. Die Unterschiede bei den jeweiligen Produkten waren nicht so gravierend, sie lagen mehr im Detail. Aber da wir auch schon seit fünfzehn Jahren Trend Micro Partner sind (zwölf Jahre davon ruhend), sind wir schließlich wieder zu Trend Micro zurückgekehrt.

    Welche anderen Ratschläge habe ich?

    Wir hatten vor drei Jahren ein Konzept, das einen anderen Ansatz verfolgte. Zwei voneinander unabhängige Sicherheitslösungen, mit jeweils eigenem Management und Reporting. Die Migration zu Vision One mit der Konsolidierung in eine Oberfläche hat zu einer 365°-Sicht auf die IT-Infrastruktur geführt.

    Die zentrale Sichtbarkeit von Endpunkten und Schwachstellen und das Management über alle Ebenen hinweg hat noch einmal einen ganz anderen Fokus auf das Thema IT-Sicherheit gelegt und das Bewusstsein der Mitarbeiter für dieses Thema gestärkt.

    Wenn Sie Trend Micro evaluieren, beschränken Sie sich bitte nicht nur auf den reinen Virenschutz, sondern beziehen Sie auch die anderen Funktionen in die Betrachtung ein. Insbesondere die Managed Services, der Technical Account Manager und die Cyber Risk Exposure Management Funktionen haben für mich einen hohen Mehrwert.

    Schaffen Sie eine zentralisierte Sicht auf Ihre IT-Infrastruktur.

    Definieren Sie im Vorfeld, welche Funktionen für Sie wichtig sind bzw. Sie benötigen.

    Verschaffen Sie sich einen umfassenden Überblick bei der Evaluierung verschiedener Sicherheitsanbieter hinsichtlich Funktionen und Kosten, damit Sie nicht Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen.

    Welches Bereitstellungsmodell verwenden Sie für diese Lösung?

    Falls öffentliche Cloud, private Cloud oder Hybrid-Cloud, welchen Cloud-Anbieter verwenden Sie?

    Improved firewall management and centralized visibility
    Pros and Cons
    • "Trend Vision One's most valuable feature is its endpoint firewall rules."
    • "Integration with other tools and deploying in hybrid environments need improvement."

    What is our primary use case?

    The primary use of Trend Vision One is for its Endpoint Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response solutions.

    To address challenges with our attack surface management, we implemented Trend Vision One.

    What is most valuable?

    Trend Vision One's most valuable feature is its endpoint firewall rules.

    The centralized visibility and management have been very important to us, as it allows for an effective EDR or XDR solution with central management. Without such solutions, I cannot imagine dealing with problems efficiently. The executive dashboards are used for main reporting and central management, improving readability.

    Trend Vision One's attack surface management capabilities are a critical feature that we utilize.

    What needs improvement?

    Integration with other tools and deploying in hybrid environments need improvement. The deployment can be complex, and we'd like an easier process, especially when integrating with on-prem and cloud environments.

    The high number of false positives in Trend Vision One presents a challenge. Reducing these requires extensive exclusion and allow lists, which are difficult to manage effectively.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Trend Vision One is scalable.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support is not good. We have to purchase support separately and the engineers are not readily available.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    We previously used Sophos and Microsoft Defender. For hybrid, we switched to Microsoft Defender due to easier integration with on-prem and cloud. I would recommend Trend Micro for Linux and mixed environments.

    How was the initial setup?

    The standard deployment of Trend Vision One was straightforward and took approximately 24 hours to complete with two people involved.

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

    Trend Vision One offers a competitive price-to-value ratio.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We evaluated Microsoft Defender and Sophos before switching. Microsoft offers more options for attack surface reduction rules compared to Trend Vision One.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate Trend Vision One eight out of ten.

    We have 400 users of Trend Vision One in our organization.

    Two administrators are required to manage Vision One.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    Gives detailed maps and correlated information at one place
    Pros and Cons
    • "I find the maps particularly helpful. The object list, specifically the suspicious object list, is also quite valuable. You can simply add one object to that list to manage it from another solution."
    • "Trend Vision One has helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats by 30% to 40%."
    • "I believe that the interface could be more user-friendly. At times, it is challenging to locate certain features, and they need to reorganize the user interfaces."
    • "I would rate their customer support a five out of ten. They sometimes do not give enough attention to the tickets."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use it for analytics. We check all the maps and communications when there is an incident or an issue. It is very helpful for analytics.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Trend Vision gives a lot of visibility. If you have a big environment, you can use it to see logs or events. It gives more visibility into what is going on in your infrastructure.

    Last year, we experienced an attack attempt, and it gave us a lot of visibility. We were able to track the source and all the processes that were involved during the attack. For security, it is very good.

    Trend Vision One has helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats by 30% to 40%.

    What is most valuable?

    I find the maps particularly helpful. The object list, specifically the suspicious object list, is also quite valuable. You can simply add one object to that list to manage it from another solution.

    It gives comprehensive visibility. It is very good. It gives a lot of visibility into all layers such as layer three or layer seven. It helps with monitoring the endpoints, including all the desktops and processes or communication between servers.

    What needs improvement?

    I believe that the interface could be more user-friendly. At times, it is challenging to locate certain features, and they need to reorganize the user interfaces.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the solution for one year.

    How are customer service and support?

    I would rate their customer support a five out of ten. They sometimes do not give enough attention to the tickets. Even when I update a ticket or a case, they ask the same questions that I have already answered. I explain my problem, and they respond as if not paying enough attention.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    Previously, we used another solution. We observed that Trend is trying to move all the solutions to Vision One. That is why we decided to transition, and it is working very well. 

    It gives more visibility. The other solution was focused only on the server or endpoint protection. It did not provide any tracks, just the basics. With Vision One, we can see all the information correlated in one place, which I find very helpful.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is very easy. It is not very complicated. Sometimes, the documentation is not updated, but the processes are very intuitive, so it is not that hard.

    In terms of the implementation strategy, we first focus on non-critical servers or appliances, and then we move on to critical ones.

    It is being used in an enterprise environment at a data center.

    What about the implementation team?

    The implementation may require two people, depending on the infrastructure and scale. You might need an engineer or an administrator.

    For maintenance, there are two people. One person scans and reviews all the information and the other one is from the backup. It requires minimal maintenance.

    What was our ROI?

    Overall, the visibility and security that it provides are our returns on the investments.

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

    I feel that Vision One is a bit expensive. As for the pricing or licensing, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate Vision One an eight out of ten.

    It improves the detection speed, but it could be more customizable
    Pros and Cons
    • "When we purchased Vision One, what set it apart was that it wasn't a traditional signature-based antivirus. It's a process-aware solution that provides real-time protection. That was a big differentiator three years ago, but now it's a given that every AV provider should be doing that. It combines signature-based telemetry with behavioral awareness and a detection-based solution, making it a good solution for us."
    • "They need to stop changing Vision One once a week. They're in a hurry to change things so badly and so fast that I can't find where stuff is half the time, which is a challenge sometimes."

    What is our primary use case?

    Vision One is the primary endpoint security product we use to protect our Macs and PCs. We also use the server product version, so it runs on my servers as well. We exclusively purchase Trend Micro's endpoint products. They have network and firewall products. We were using their email product until last month, and I ended up selecting a different provider. We stayed with them for the endpoint, but I moved off of them for the email product.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Vision One was a big deal to us immediately because we did not have context-aware before. We saw everything we had no idea was happening. It was a big deal three years ago. 

    It certainly reduces time to detect because a lot of the time, I didn't have it before. I didn't have that information until it gave it to me. The speed of response helps me know much more about what's happening quicker. They have some improvement to do in terms of automated remediation. It probably makes investigations 30 percent faster because of what it puts together. 

    What is most valuable?

    When we purchased Vision One, what set it apart was that it wasn't a traditional signature-based antivirus. It's a process-aware solution that provides real-time protection. That was a big differentiator three years ago, but now it's a given that every AV provider should be doing that. It combines signature-based telemetry with behavioral awareness and a detection-based solution, making it a good solution for us.

    When we bought it three years ago, it was separate. Apex One handled cloud and web app security, and Vision One handled cloud and server workload protection. Now, they call it Vision One. The server stuff is still separate, but it is the same now. When we purchased it, they told us we'd have a single console, but that took about two and a half years. Finally, there is a single pane of glass. 

    One of the things that made me the craziest was that we had too many tools or one tool that I had to log into five different ways. One of the frustrations is you have both legacy and newer detection methods. Not being able to fully investigate it in a single portal was a huge pain.

    What needs improvement?

    They need to stop changing Vision One once a week. They're in a hurry to change things so badly and so fast that I can't find where stuff is half the time, which is a challenge sometimes.

    I've given one piece of feedback to their product guys. One thing that they're trying to make is a SIEM. It's a product where you input all the logs from your tools, and it creates additional insights into how things look. They've been kind of playing the "me too" game on that, even though that's not what I bought the product for.

    They have a new gateway where I can take my firewall of email logs and send it over there. In theory, it's supposed to do a more comprehensive evaluation of all my stuff to improve that risk index score. I'm not impressed with it, and I've told them as much. I feel if you're good at something, you should keep working on that and not try to be all the things to all the people. 

    I bought a different email solution even though it would have been 10 times easier to just stay with their email solution because they aren't great at it. They are great at other things, but they're playing the "me too" game with some of their products. Their competitors do this, so they should be doing this, too. They need to pick a product and keep being good at that. If they're going to roll new things out, they should do it but do it right. 

    They have a button to isolate an endpoint because it looks bad, but it doesn't usually work. I've had no chance to argue with the product guys to show them examples of how their button doesn't work. You think it does, but it doesn't work in a real environment. That can be a challenge sometimes.

    I can see in the data showing what is a false positive. But it doesn't save me time helping them figure out how to fix the problem in their engine. It can help me identify it as a false positive, but it doesn't apply that consistently. It will ignore the false positive for that device, but if they start detecting a false positive on Apple devices, I have eight thousand Apple devices and get 8,000 alerts. I can tell that specific false positive, but it doesn't learn from that particularly well.

    We use the executive dashboards, but I don't find them particularly useful. One is the ability to customize. That has gotten a little better, and it'll be better in the future. Most of what they have on there are data points that are generic and not particularly actionable. That's why it's called an executive dashboard. Executives want to see if we are secure, but it's hard for me to find out why our attack surface risk went down by x percentage. I don't know. It says that on the dashboard, but it doesn't give me specific details about why.

    I find it confuses my executives, and it's not useful for me because it doesn't give me things to work on. It will give me generic things on the executive dashboard like you have a thousand accounts with an old password. Those are big generic things, but I also can't tell it that our password policy is different from what your automatic detection model means, and I don't have a problem with that, so quit lowering my risk score. 

    The risk score is useless. In theory, it's based on the random intelligence they're getting from their various customers. I'm in K-12 education, so they have a decent amount of K-12 customers, but it's a subset, and the baseline of what's common in K-12 education is not the same. There's not enough data to make that particularly clean or useful. Vision One is not custom, and that's part of my beef. That index score is based on whatever random report they're looking at from their data sources at any given moment in time. It's nice, but I'd rather have one that's based on your particular circumstances. Instead, it's saying that the number one attack threat surface for school districts is email phishing. It's too generic.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used Trend Vision One for three and a half years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Vision One has been less impactful toward my endpoints when scanning than the previous solution. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Vision One's resource usage is starting to creep up compared to three years ago. They used to focus on making their agent lightweight. I don't necessarily think all of this is their fault, but their agents are starting to suck more resources than they used to. Part of it is that the threat landscape has changed, and you need to look at it in additional ways, and it is a strain on the servers. They've gotten really bad about that on the servers.

    How are customer service and support?

    I rate Trend Micro support three out of 10. Their technical support is challenging. The support's good once you get to the second layer, but they don't read what you write. They auto-respond by telling us to give them the logs. 

    Every time, I need to send them a written statement with my product license ID and that I'm the contact authorized to do a support ticket. About 75 percent of the time when I open a support ticket, I immediately email my customer service satisfaction manager person with the ticket number so they can help move it along.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Negative

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

    I was using Sophos three years ago. I've looked at many of the feature sets out there, and they might be 80 percent of what Vision One has, and some might be better, but Vision One is price-competitive.

    How was the initial setup?

    Deploying Vision One was a pain because of the automated removal tool. In the antivirus world, they try to make it difficult to uninstall people's defenses because that's what an attacker would do. However, all the competitors are making tools to uninstall their competitors' tools when they win business. That's directly counterintuitive to the whole point of the antivirus. 

    We went through a process of trying to do this in an automated fashion to replace the old product, and Trend didn't quite do it right. Trend had a real struggle toget their own tool to fix it. 

    We use it as a SaaS, so we have a gateway integrator on the server on-site, but the product sits on all my endpoints. In that aspect, it's on-prem, but all the processing, reporting, and everything else happens in the cloud. We had it 75 percent deployed in 45 days. That last 25 percent took us another four months.

    I work at an underfunded public school district. I need a whole team, but there is only me. I used to have a security analyst until that position moved around, and
    my ability to use the product has been drastically reduced. I miss much of the value of what I'm paying for because I don't have enough staff to use it. I wouldn't need more than one if that was their whole job. 

    It's not a totally elegant solution that always feeds and cares for itself. We have to check if it's doing its updates properly. It doesn't tell us, for example, that 2,000 devices haven't been updated or checked in. I have to go proactively looking at it.

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

    Vision One's pricing is extremely competitive. They're probably the lowest-cost provider that has this feature set. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Vision One seven out of 10. Make sure you learn the 90 percent of stuff in there that you didn't know you bought and preestablish an escalation contact for support tickets.

    Provides comprehensive visibility but should have more options for sandbox analysis
    Pros and Cons
    • "The best part is the XDR threat investigation, which includes different modules like Observer Attack Techniques, Workbench, and Detection Model Manager."
    • "I would definitely recommend Trend Vision One to others."
    • "For XDR threat investigation, there is not enough documentation about how to search for different keywords. The documentation for keywords used in attack techniques is lacking, making it difficult to understand certain aspects."
    • "For XDR threat investigation, there is not enough documentation about how to search for different keywords."

    What is our primary use case?

    I mainly use it for the management console and threat investigation. It helps us understand what is going on in our environment. I also generate reports to see what is going on in the background in our environment and how our devices are. I can see whether they are getting timely virus definition updates or patches. I get information related to the vulnerabilities on our devices.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Trend Vision One provides centralized visibility and management across protection layers. It is pretty important to know data from different data sources. It helps to gather information about the environment and reduce the attack surface. The custom reports based on those data sources and different modules help me reduce the risk level of the environment.

    Executive dashboards help to see the devices in the environment and Internet-facing assets. If any device has any vulnerability, then based on that data, I can go to the XDR threat detection and get more information about that particular vulnerability or alert. Based on that, I can communicate with the team and get it remediated. We only provide a risk assessment. Based on the information provided, the team remediates the issues.

    It has definitely reduced the time to respond to threats, but I do not have the metrics.

    What is most valuable?

    The best part is the XDR threat investigation, which includes different modules like Observer Attack Techniques, Workbench, and Detection Model Manager. It provides patterns and we can see what is going on. We can act on them accordingly. We can make playbooks and automate processes to reduce the attack surface.

    What needs improvement?

    For XDR threat investigation, there is not enough documentation about how to search for different keywords. The documentation for keywords used in attack techniques is lacking, making it difficult to understand certain aspects. 

    Providing more interaction options in sandbox analysis would also be helpful. They have not given us many options. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Trend Vision One for more than one and a half years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is quite stable. They provide proper updates.

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

    I have used different solutions, such as SentinelOne, Carbon Black, and Cylance, but Trend Vision One provides more comprehensive visibility across the environment. For environment-level visibility, I prefer Trend Vision One.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was easy.

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

    The pricing is fair and not on the higher side.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would definitely recommend Trend Vision One to others. It offers high visibility into the environment, helps reduce the attack surface, and automates many processes, thus enhancing response time.

    I would rate Trend Vision One a seven out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Private Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
