Can pull telemetry data from the endpoints, network devices, and cross-layered architecture
Pros and Cons
  • "Trend Micro can integrate third-party tools, such as Fortinet, Cisco, or any other vendor's firewall, to get the logs and alerts from them. Vision One is much more capable in that way."
  • "Vision One's functional capabilities are excellent, but the platform can be upgraded and simplified in many ways. We use multiple playbooks to automate many things, but I'm not sure there are mature cybersecurity applications. There are several external alerts, and their behavior changes daily, so I'm not sure automation can help you that much. We're using the playbooks, but it might require some improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use Vision One XDR for our endpoint security. Our company has nearly 4,000 users. We have endpoint cybersecurity agents for which we can use XDR. 
Trend Micro has multiple subscription licenses for individual Vision One components. There are also licenses for XDR for endpoints. We have adopted four packages from Trend Micro: endpoints, workload security, mobile security, and email security gateway.  

How has it helped my organization?

We didn't realize the benefits immediately after deploying the solution, but we saw results quickly. When you install Vision One, the policies are set to the default setting. It scans your machines, and you get alerts if someone is attacking, there's a vulnerability that must be patched, or there's a Trend vulnerability you're patching somewhere.

It has reduced our detection time. The detection is quite fast, but the response at the SOC level might take time. Vision One can be used to conduct analysis first. It reduces the investigation time because Trend Micro has an advantage in Pakistan. They have local technical resources deployed here. Organizations can get heavy false positives, but Trend Micro can help you define the policies accurately.

What is most valuable?

Our primary focus is DLP, and Vision One has solid DLP features. We also use URL filtering and device blocking, and there's telemetry for identifying exploitable vulnerabilities.

It offers us centralized visibility. That's the advantage of Vision One's unified platform with data lake capabilities. They pull telemetry data from the endpoints, network devices, and cross-layered architecture, and Vision One performs filtering and analysis.

Additionally, Trend Micro can integrate third-party tools, such as Fortinet, Cisco, or any other vendor's firewall, to get the logs and alerts from them. Vision One is much more capable in that way.

Having that centralized visibility has improved our efficiency. The organization has multiple tools segregated into separate windows that give you a particular type of visibility. Multiple SOC team members can view the same window. The beauty of Trend Micro is its ability to integrate all of the systems in one cloud platform, right, in terms of Vision One. From your workbench, you can easily monitor and centrally manage alerts. My SOC team is happy with it. 

The risk index feature is a rich view that rates any alert on a scale of 1 to 100 and classifies it as internal or external. Few OEMs can provide that sort of capability. The index ratings provide a window into device health and how alerts can be resolved. 

The attack surface management is a fantastic feature with a proactive approach. Normally, organizations do pen testing quarterly or once a year, but attack server management proactively checks user authentication or changes in your environment. 

What needs improvement?

Vision One's functional capabilities are excellent, but the platform can be upgraded and simplified in many ways. We use multiple playbooks to automate many things, but I'm not sure there are mature cybersecurity applications. There are several external alerts, and their behavior changes daily, so I'm not sure automation can help you that much. We're using the playbooks, but it might require some improvement.

857,028 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used Vision One for two and a half years. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate Trend Micro support eight out of 10. They stick to the SLA and respond on time. They are cooperative and supportive. I'm very satisfied.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We have evaluated multiple vendors, and Trend Micro is among the best. You cannot have a typical apples-to-apple comparison. There are a lot of things which we need to compare. Other tools may not be at the network level or have the third-party integration that Vision One has.

How was the initial setup?

Deploying Vision One is easy. You can deploy it with a few clicks and configure the policies or use the default ones. It's flexible and user-friendly, and there are no headaches. The deployment time depends on your environment. If you have thousands of endpoints, it takes some time, but it's just a few minutes if you have a couple. 

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

Trend Micro is pricey, but it has more capabilities than a standard XDR, so the customers consider it reasonable. The market has accepted it. Trend Micro has a 64 percent share. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Trend Vision One nine out of 10.

A unified platform for simplified operations and automation
Pros and Cons
  • "From an automation point of view, I find the ability to curate and deploy playbooks very helpful. I find that very convenient for us."
  • "There should be a bit more dynamism when it comes to their playbooks in terms of the action triggers. That is the only thing that I would want to see a bit more."

What is our primary use case?

Its main purpose is orchestration where I have full visibility into all the different Trend Micro products I use, and it is all centralized in a single dashboard. There is ease of use with this centralized dashboard. With this centralized management, I can dive into technicalities, and I am able to do all my workbench investigations. It is quite clear, and I do not have to sift through different logs. It makes our work so easy when we need to respond to or remediate a particular issue.

The main problem that we wanted to solve by implementing Trend Vision One was the blindspots. We tend to focus on endpoints, but we forget IoT devices such as printers and CCTV cameras. This is where we had serious blind spots simply because these devices do not have an operating system. For us, it was just about eliminating these blind spots. That was our number one focus.

How has it helped my organization?

It has been exceptional. If you look at the evolution of the Trend Micro products up until Vision One, you can see that they do what they say they do. It has worked for me so well. That is why I have had it all these years.

We have protection against zero-day threats. One of the things that pushed me towards Trend Micro was the fact that they have the R&D for the zero-day initiative. They are a pioneer in terms of classifying CVEs. It gives me comfort. When you go and check the workbench or the report, you can see the type of exploits that it was able to detect, which have even been classified as CVEs.

Apart from the things that I do in IT, my responsibility is to protect my company's assets. I am able to safeguard my data against ransomware. The company does not have to worry that they can be held at ransom. The assurance that they do not have to pay just to get their data back makes it easy to sleep at night.

We have a single console for cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigation. We have what we call the executive dashboard. This is what I share with the C-suite. It is quite easy for me to break down cybersecurity in a business way, and then, of course, we have the operational dashboard and the security dashboard where I centralize all the products into one single pane. From an orchestration point of view, I love Trend Vision One. We are able to orchestrate all of our different products from one single dashboard.

Trend Vision One provides visibility into different products. I have a 360-degree view of my entire IT infrastructure, which helps me understand my threat landscape and the way it looks. The beauty of it is that it has metrics. I can see how I am performing as compared to 30 days or 7 days ago in terms of the risk indicator. Is it going up or is it going down? This is important for me because I am able to forecast and anticipate behaviors or patterns from the people perspective and the process perspective. I know what I need to do and train people on, and in terms of processes, I know what I need to do to clean up my policies. In terms of technology, I can assess if there is any other thing of Trend Micro that I need to supplement to make sure I am fully protected.

Our response is instantaneous. I do not have an exact percentile in mind when it comes to the reduction in the response time, but our response is instantaneous.

I have integrated it with my NUC, my firewall, and my database monitoring tool. Trend Micro has a feature for virtual patching through Trend Micro TippingPoint. It instantaneously does the patching and cascades them across. Apart from what we call scheduled patching, on-demand patching is a part of their product features.

Trend Vision One is very easy to learn. This is the second organization where I am using this Trend Micro solution. When I introduced it, my team did not know about Trend Vision One, but within a month, simply with the help of the business portal where we have the e-learning, they were fully skilled and even certified at the entry-level of Trend Micro. Their feedback was that it was quite easy for them to adopt.

Trend Vision One is not at all difficult to administer.

We have seen a reduction in viruses and malware since implementing this solution. They provide you with the metrics for risk posture. You can see the reduction in your threat landscape. It goes granular to the point of telling you which type of malware or threat you are exposed to and the reduction. It is very definitive from a percentile marking. In my previous organization, we saw about a 75% reduction when we rolled it out. We were previously using something else there.

It reduces administrative overhead. I stopped adding additional headcounts from a security analyst and a security officer's point of view. It helps me reduce the overhead. On average, considering the annual wage of a security analyst, there is a reduction of about 7,000 dollars per annum.

I use Trend Micro's managed XDR services in conjunction with Vision One Endpoint Security. It reduces overhead. It is a fully-fledged managed service, so I do not need to have the business invest in an in-house SOC. It is a whole lot cheaper.

What is most valuable?

From an automation point of view, I find the ability to curate and deploy playbooks very helpful. I find that very convenient for us. It gives away the manual process. There is the ease of use.

I love what they have done with their Trend Companion AI, where it becomes so easy to have it do something for you instead of sifting through different tabs. So, the automation element and their new AI feature are top-notch for me.

I find the virtual patching that they offer superb.

What needs improvement?

There should be a bit more dynamism when it comes to their playbooks in terms of the action triggers. That is the only thing that I would want to see a bit more. There should be a bit more dynamism, especially when you are creating your own playbook. This is something I have also discussed with Trend Micro.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Vision One since 2020 when it was rolled out. I have been using Trend Micro products since 2015.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

I have used a plethora of other solutions. I moved to Trend Vision One for multiple reasons:

  • The ability to do what the solution says it does
  • The ability to orchestrate all different solutions into one single pane
  • The ability to have automation when it comes to detecting and responding to threats

How was the initial setup?

It is deployed on the cloud. For me, the deployment was easy. For the endpoints, we just did a GPO push through Active Directory. For the cloud, we used just simple tenancy APIs and we were good to go.

It took us a week simply by virtue of how big the organization was.

In the IT team, there are 10 people working with this solution. We also have other departments such as risk and audit that use it. Overall, there are about 20 people directly working with it. The remaining are users for whom it just works silently in the background.

The maintenance is not done in-house. It is handled 100% by the OEM. They do share notifications, but we as users do not feel it, so whatever maintenance is required is handled 100% by the OEM. That is the beauty of a cloud service. You are not overly bothered by it.

What was our ROI?

In my previous company, over the four years, I believe we had seen about 81% ROI.

There are cost reductions because of the simple fact that I have automation. It means that I do not need to spend a whole lot on headcount for security analysts. From a commercial point of view, it has helped me reduce my operational costs, and then there are also security cost reductions because of the fact that it is automated and it responds in real time.

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

When I compare it to its peers that can do the same, it is cost-effective.

What other advice do I have?

The evolution has been great. When I started using Trend Micro Vision One, the product feature was what they used to call business worry-free. It has evolved from an EDR to a fully-fledged XDR. You can see that the R&D is putting in work, and there is evolution. In terms of product coverage, they do not look at only endpoint protection. Right now, we have bespoke server protection. We have cloud asset protection and email security. You can see the growth of Trend Micro when it comes to its cybersecurity offering.

Based on my experience, I would recommend this solution. The ease of use, elimination of overhead, and return on investment are the reasons why you should have this solution.

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

Enables efficient threat detection and investigation through seamless cross-border capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "Trend Vision One's greatest assets are its cloud-based platform and credit-based purchasing system, which eliminate the need for traditional licensing and procurement processes, enabling quick product acquisition within one or two days."
  • "One area that requires improvement is the installation process of the agents, as it is not seamless."

What is our primary use case?

Vision One access supports multiple modules, including endpoint protection, the XDR module, and the Cloud One module, which are the ones that particularly caught our interest.

We have been doing a proof of concept for Trend Vision One to assess its capabilities as a cybersecurity solution. Vodafone is partnering with Trend Micro to offer security services and products to our customers to secure their environments, similar to a SaaS solution. We are exploring it as a partnership opportunity to provide enhanced security solutions to our customers.

How has it helped my organization?

We conducted a POC and tested multiple use cases by downloading malicious files and observing their behavior. Trend Vision One successfully detected and blocked all threats, including malicious files, scripts, and even dormant scripts that later became active. All these threats were stopped at the endpoint level, demonstrating that Trend Vision One effectively defends against malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts.

Trend Vision One incorporates a machine learning agent designed to defend against advanced threats, such as zero-day attacks. This agent monitors endpoints for malicious activity and, if detected, automatically quarantines the affected machine to conduct further analysis.

It employs machine learning to quarantine devices during ransomware attacks, however, this functionality has not yet been tested.

Trend Vision One provides a single console with a unified dashboard that consolidates information from our entire environment.

The single console provides end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment. We tested the endpoint security, and the SDR performed exceptionally well, providing a clear topology and metrics of our environment. This allows us to monitor the status of each node within our network.

The Trend Vision One platform was integrated with a Linux-based Service Engine to facilitate integration with third-party IT security solutions.

Learning to use Trend Vision One was straightforward, thanks to the helpful courses available on their portal and the excellent support provided during product introduction.

Administering Vision One endpoint security is easy through the single console.

We successfully tested Trend Vision One in a hybrid environment, with components deployed both on-premises and in the cloud.

Trend Vision One offers virtual patching to protect against vulnerabilities while vendors develop permanent patches. This is crucial because vendor patches can be delayed, leaving systems exposed. Virtual patching provides immediate protection, acting as a temporary shield until the official fix is released.

Since we are still in the testing phase, we have not yet seen a reduction in viruses or malware. However, we anticipate potential improvements in security operations across hybrid environments if implemented fully.

What is most valuable?

Trend Vision One's greatest assets are its cloud-based platform and credit-based purchasing system, which eliminate the need for traditional licensing and procurement processes, enabling quick product acquisition within one or two days. Trend Micro's strong reputation and excellent threat intelligence further enhance the platform's value. The analytics are also good, particularly the XDR and cloud assessment tools, which correlate logs and information to consolidate alerts for the SOC team.

What needs improvement?

One area that requires improvement is the installation process of the agents, as it is not seamless. The installation sometimes requires multiple troubleshooting steps and is not straightforward.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been conducting the POC of Trend Vision One for approximately three to four months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There were no major issues with stability, no bugs, glitches, or errors, except for the challenges faced with agent installation. I rate the stability of Trend Vision One eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the scalability of Trend Vision One ten out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We did not engage with customer support during the POC phase, so we cannot provide feedback on that aspect at this time.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

For endpoint protection, we have used Microsoft Defender and Cortex XDR. We encountered issues with those solutions, but Trend Vision One seemed to address these concerns effectively.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not complex. The prerequisites were set first, allowing integration to be completed in about a week.

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

The pricing is mid-range, neither cheap nor overly expensive. The cost is considered fairly priced.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trend Vision One nine out of ten.

Our team from our organization includes three members involved in the POC testing.

I recommend Trend Vision One to other users based on our experience during the POC phase.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

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

Microsoft Azure

Reliable threat intelligence with customizable reporting improvements
Pros and Cons
  • "Its threat intelligence sources enable it to automatically block domains known for command-and-control callbacks, effectively preventing attacks from those sources."
  • "The reports lack detail and customization options, particularly for XDR, which hinders our ability to provide tailored reports to clients."

What is our primary use case?

We use Vision One XDR to provide managed security services to our clients by correlating logs from various Trend Micro products like Apex One, Cloud One, and Deep Security. Vision One acts as a central monitoring platform, providing a single pane of glass view of our clients' security posture. This simplifies monitoring and allows us to easily create playbooks and analyze alerts. While our EDR solutions, Apex One, Cloud One, and Deep Security provide robust security features like anti-malware, web reputation, and intrusion prevention, Vision One enhances this by correlating logs and leveraging threat intelligence to identify incidents missed by these individual products. Essentially, Vision One functions like a level three SOC analyst, providing an additional layer of protection and ensuring comprehensive security coverage.

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Vision One's centralized visibility and management are crucial for our managed security services because they reduce the overhead required for monitoring. As an XDR solution, it performs many of the tasks an analyst would typically handle, streamlining our workflow and allowing us to focus on in-depth analysis when needed. This reduction in workload is a significant benefit, enabling us to efficiently provide comprehensive security services to our clients.

The executive dashboard is a valuable tool for analyzing the threat level of specific assets, particularly for generating end-of-month reports that detail threat and alert volumes, and highlight high-security risks. This comprehensive analysis helps customers understand their security posture and take appropriate action to strengthen their defenses. However, it's important to note that the dashboard's usefulness may vary depending on the individual customer's needs and priorities.

The risk index is a useful tool that provides benefits, but its value depends on the specific needs of the customer. Some customers may utilize the risk index to identify assets with high-security risks, allowing them to address vulnerabilities and implement necessary patching. However, other customers may rely on alternative sources for vulnerability visibility and, therefore, may not prioritize the risk index. While not always a primary focus, the risk index remains a valuable resource.

Trend Vision One provides immediate benefits upon deployment. Its built-in XDR, which includes EDR functionality and integrates with existing security models like Apex One, Cloud One, or Workload Security, allows for seamless provisioning of endpoints and workloads. Rigorous testing confirms that Vision One effectively identifies and correlates alerts, including those missed by other EDR solutions. This enhanced detection capability is evident during post-deployment testing, as Vision One Workbench alerts are generated immediately.

We use Trend Vision One to consolidate security across hybrid environments.

We use attack surface risk management and often customize it in our reports to meet client needs. This service helps identify vulnerabilities and blind spots in their environments. For instance, we assisted a customer experiencing recurring attacks due to unknown vulnerabilities. Our attack surface management analysis provided the data to identify and patch these critical vulnerabilities, ultimately enhancing their security posture.

Vision One XDR significantly reduces threat detection and response time by automating the analysis typically done by a level two or three analyst. It provides a comprehensive view of the environment, incorporating behavioral analysis and intelligence sources to quickly identify unusual activity. This eliminates the need for manual investigation of logs and data, allowing analysts to focus on addressing actual threats. The XDR's automated workbench triggers alerts with a high degree of accuracy, minimizing false positives and further streamlining the security process.

We use security playbooks for certain low-level security alerts because many of these alerts, despite the large volume of data they represent, do not require significant time or attention. Playbooks are particularly useful in these situations as they automate the process of blocking the source or IP address associated with the alert.

What is most valuable?

Vision One offers several features I value. 

The threat intelligence sources enable it to automatically block domains known for command-and-control callbacks, effectively preventing attacks from those sources. 

Additionally, the security playbooks provide templates to block URLs or scripts, enhancing endpoint protection. 

Finally, the console allows for remote connection to endpoints, enabling direct investigation and remediation within the customer's environment. This flexibility and comprehensive functionality make Vision One a valuable tool.

What needs improvement?

Trend Micro is making many improvements, including addressing some of our feature requests. However, their reporting functionality needs improvement. The reports lack detail and customization options, particularly for XDR, which hinders our ability to provide tailored reports to clients. For example, we cannot generate reports on threat intelligence data from XDR, making it difficult to assess the protection received from external sources. This limitation also prevents clients from seeing the total value of XDR, including external factors contributing to their security posture. Threat intelligence is crucial, and clients want to understand its impact. Therefore, enhancing report customization, especially for XDR, would be a significant improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Lagging does happen in Trend Vision One but it is infrequent and does not significantly disrupt operations. This is typical for many SaaS platforms and not a major issue.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trend Vision One is scalable, allowing for flexibility from four licenses to a hundred or more, depending on how much or how fast scaling is needed.

How are customer service and support?

The experience with customer service can vary depending on the case. Simple issues might involve referring to KB articles for resolution, while more complex issues might need backend support, which can take time. Overall, my experience has been positive.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

Trend Vision One is easy to set up and can potentially be handled by one person. However, teamwork is preferred to ensure accuracy, catch potential errors, and maintain a high standard of service.

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

Trend Micro's licensing is outsourced to third-party vendors, resulting in price variations depending on the vendor. Since Trend Micro doesn't directly handle pricing, I cannot provide specific cost details.

What other advice do I have?

Trend Vision One XDR is an excellent security product that deserves a ten out of ten rating. It's surprising that more companies haven't adopted XDR, given its advantages over traditional SIEM solutions. XDR automates tasks like configuration, signature creation, and rule implementation, significantly reducing the manual workload required with SIEM. While I expect a shift towards XDR, many companies still rely on SIEM, which seems inefficient in comparison.

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.

Has built-in AI, a single pane of glass, and centralized visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "We are very impressed with the single pane of glass visibility that Trend Micro XDR provides."
  • "I think that continued optimization of the environment towards automation and orchestration, a kind of layer that sits underneath all of the technologies, would be extremely important."

What is our primary use case?

We use Trend Micro XDR for rapid response to end-user computing and security concerns.

As a health system, one of our core challenges is ensuring full visibility into our attack surface. We have many thousands of endpoints and end users that must be properly secured and protected. Our primary use case was to improve visibility, and response time, and reduce complexity. That is why we chose Trend Micro XDR.

Trend Micro XDR is deployed on Trend Micro's private cloud.

How has it helped my organization?

We are using Trend Micro XDR on our endpoint and server infrastructure. The coverage is extremely important to our organization.

Trend Micro XDR provides us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers.

The centralized visibility and management across protection layers have helped our efficiency. The most significant advantage is that we used to manage these platforms with three or even five engineers, and now we're managing them with one.

It is extremely important to us that we can drill down from the executive dashboards into XDR detections. This provides us with the single pane of glass view that I mentioned previously. Being able to see at a high level that there may be systems that are behind on patch levels or need additional service or support, and then being able to drill down specifically to an individual machine, which may be unique in our environment, is very helpful.

We use the risk index to evaluate ourselves holistically, including our performance against best practices and security, as well as our performance against other healthcare systems around the world. This allows us to identify areas where we may have vulnerabilities or where we are particularly strong so that we can focus on improving in the areas where we need to.

Trend Micro XDR has helped us improve our resource utilization through automation, reducing manual effort and enabling faster response times. In under a week, we had tuned our environment to perform optimally.

Trend Micro's Managed XDR service has significantly reduced our team's workload by nearly 50 percent, providing a big improvement in our overall threat intelligence and endpoint security.

The Managed XDR service has enabled our team to work on other tasks. This additional availability for our staff has allowed us to reduce our need for contractors. If we are overburdened, we will hire contractors to assist in other areas of the business. However, because we have become more efficient, I have been able to hire some of those contractors and reduce the burden of contract labor.

Attack surface work management capabilities have been extremely valuable. The user and identity services provided by CREM help us to focus on and improve visibility into end-user behavior, including that of endpoints such as laptops and desktops, the network, cloud infrastructure, and applications.

The ability to detect our blind spots has significantly improved our security posture. Seeing everything clearly in a single, easy-to-understand dashboard allows us to allocate our resources directly to where they are needed most, enabling us to respond faster.

The biggest advantage of Trend Micro XDR is that it has helped decrease our time to detect and respond to threats by around 50 percent.

Trend Micro XDR has helped reduce the amount of time we spend investigating false positive alerts by 60 percent.

Trend Micro XDRs automation capabilities save us around ten hours per week. 

What is most valuable?

We are very impressed with the single pane of glass visibility that Trend Micro XDR provides. It allows us to work from a single console instead of having to use four or five separate tools to maintain the same level of security. This is extremely helpful.

The manageability and artificial intelligence built into Trend Micro XDR are extremely helpful.

What needs improvement?

I've seen a lot of improvement in just the year that we've been with Trend Micro. However, I think that continued optimization of the environment towards automation and orchestration, a kind of layer that sits underneath all of the technologies, would be extremely important. When we look at the speed and sophistication of attacks today, such as ransomware, malware, and cyber threats, we need tools and technologies that can react faster. So, I think integration with automation, orchestration, and artificial intelligence will help tremendously.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro XDR for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trend Micro XDR is remarkably stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Considering our growth rate of nearly 30 percent per year, Trend Micro XDR is scalable enough to keep up, so we have no concerns.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is exceptional. They are extremely engaged and supportive of everything we have needed.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We previously used Sophos but switched to Trend Micro because of its enhanced capabilities.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward. The deployment took between one and two weeks to complete. 

Moving between security tools requires an analysis of the existing environment to understand the current configuration, rulesets, and architecture. This analysis is quickly followed by implementation to improve the security posture and validation to ensure that the infrastructure is not only properly protected, but better protected than before.

Three people were required for the deployment.

What was our ROI?

We have been able to reduce some labor costs and use our resources more efficiently. These savings of hours per week are definitely a return on investment.

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

The solution is fairly priced.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trend Micro XDR ten out of ten. The solution works extremely well for us. In a healthcare environment, the types of data and the sheer size of the attack surface are somewhat extraordinary. Having the enhanced capabilities of the Trend Micro toolset has been very important to us, and I strongly recommend it.

We have 11,000 users, five acute care hospitals, and around 80 clinics.

Two people are required to maintain Trend Micro XDR for the investigation of threats and incidents. When threat intelligence comes in from Trend Micro or we receive an alert, we validate or respond to it. A lot of this process has been automated, which has helped tremendously.

I strongly recommend Trend Micro XDR and advise doing a proof of concept against any current tool on the market, as it works extremely well and a POC can clearly demonstrate this in a short period of time.

Easy to set up with good support and great threat intelligence
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is how the stack fully integrates all components of a solution."
  • "The SOAR features (Security Playbooks) are quite limited."

What is our primary use case?

We use Vision One to detect to detect and respond to malware incidents. With endpoints (Apex One/Cloud One Workload Security), network (Deep Discovery Inspector) and Office365 (Cloud Email and Collaboration Security).

The environment is complex, distributed in more than +100 locations. Some locations are just offices, some others are industrial facilities with ICS and SCADA. Besides Windows, we deal with a lot of operating systems, including Solaris on SPARC. And our users are diverse, with lots of employees roaming around the country.

With CREM, we tackle important use cases around identity protection and risk management in general. Identification, prioritization, and remediation.

How has it helped my organization?

The full stack of Vision One has delivered what "SIEM 2.0" couldn't deliver. The capability to monitor threats and discover attack vectors before they are exploited and across all our workspace (on-prem, IaaS, PaaS and SaaS). We have invested well over a million into SIEM during the last decade. A full ArcSight upgrade and then a Splunk migration assisted with a large MSSP. Vision One is still ahead at a fraction of the cost.

Going through a capable, single-vendor solution was necessary, given our small team. Choosing the best solutions for every task and building all the integrations was not an option.

Vision One is much more than just EDR for us; it is a threat intelligence platform and a SOAR too. And even with the limited capabilities in this area, we find ways to tackle challenges our MSSP and SOC haven't been able to accomplish on a very large budget.

What is most valuable?

I like everything. The most valuable feature is how the stack fully integrates all components of a solution. Then, integrations with third parties will be provided.

As an example, I am capable of sending a suspicious file directly to my Deep Discovery Analyzer appliance (a sandbox) while investigating a suspicious download/file interaction, and I can then quickly push the IOCs in the suspicious object lists to protect both managed endpoints, and the rest of the network too! Yes, you can push domains and IP addresses to Palo Alto through a Trend Micro Service Gateway, ensuring you can protect even what cannot receive an endpoint. And all this without writing a single line of code. The ease of use and ease of deployment for use cases like this are my favourite features.

What needs improvement?

The SOAR features (Security Playbooks) are quite limited. At the moment, it is impossible to execute a simple piece of Python code that would pull or push something to an API, for example. While you can tackle some use cases, a SOAR from another vendor is still a must-have.

To assist with complex use case integrations, having all the data from the SIEM inside XDR would be great, too. That's where the market is moving with solutions like Falcon Logscale and Cortex XSIAM. Pivoting from XDR to Splunk or vice-versa can be time-consuming during incidents.

For how long have I used the solution?

I was actually an early beta tester of the Apex One Endpoint Sensor before Vision One appeared in 2021. That would be three solid years of using it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Quite reliable. In the last three years, only one incident created memory leaks on Windows Servers. We didn't see too much impact (fortunately) as a workaround could be quickly provided.

Support is quite responsive when something does work well. However, we do pay for Premium support.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is really good.

How are customer service and support?

My experience is generally good, but I have had the chance to deal with premium support. I'd say I get the support I expect for the price that I pay.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Although we have been dealing with other security vendors (McAfee, Symantec, Proofpoint, and more), Vision One was really our first EDR.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was a breeze. It is realistically one of the strong points of the solution.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution in-house. Although with premium support, you do get a lot of help from Trend Micro if you ask for it. You'll be able to talk to actual experts.

What was our ROI?

It is very hard to quantify an ROI on a security product. It doesn't generate revenues, and you can't quantify the cost of incidents that didn't happen.

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

Product names are changing all the time. Lots of changes in the last three years. They introduced the concept of credits, too, which did not make anything easier.

It's also easy to underestimate the credits required with Cloud Email and Collaboration Security: people invited from third-party tenants will count.

The credit usage and allocation tool has been improving, at least.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We had a look at Carbon Black and CrowdStrike Falcon.

What other advice do I have?

It's probably the best solution for a small team that cannot absorb the complexity of a multivendor solution. The ability to execute VS the cost is surprisingly good.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud
