Trend Micro XDR is based on its proprietary cloud.
Trend Micro provides us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers, which are important to our organization.
The centralized visibility and management across both layers improve our efficiency by offering central security without the need for extensive management or fine-tuning. Trend Micro is also comprehensive and user-friendly. We have confidence in the results.
The risk index provides us with insights into potentially vulnerable areas or aspects that we may need to double-check to ensure everything is working as expected. In other words, it's a useful tool to obtain a quick overview of parts that could be more exposed to risks and other potential issues.
Trend Micro helps reduce our MTTD and MTTR.
Trend Micro presents results in a comprehensive and easy-to-read manner, which helps reduce the time we spend investigating false positive alerts.
We utilize Trend Micro's automation capabilities for alerting and categorizing emails into specific categories based on their risk level.
Trend Micro XDR is a comprehensive solution that is not overly complex to use or manage. The security results have been quite good.
I would like to have more integration with mobile device management.
I have been using Trend Micro XDR for three years.
Trend Micro XDR is stable.
Trend Micro XDR is scalable. As a small company, the licenses we have are sufficient to meet our needs.
The technical support team is excellent, and they were able to answer our questions to our satisfaction.
Positive
The deployment did not appear to be complex, but it was managed by Pro-Axis, who utilized a large workforce to ensure the swift completion of the deployment.
We engaged an external partner named Pro-Axis to assist us with migrating from Trend Micro on-premises to Trend Micro XDR. Their services were excellent, and we did not encounter any unexpected issues. We were fully satisfied with the migration process as Pro-Axis promptly restored our services.
The pricing is competitive, and the cost aligns with the features we receive. The license fee covers all of our needs.
I give Trend Micro XDR a nine out of ten.
We were initially using Trend Micro on-premises and then expanded our usage by implementing XDR. We were satisfied with the solution and its features, so we made the decision to stick with Trend Micro.
A small team is required for maintenance, which will not impose a significant burden on our IT team.
Our entire organization uses the solution.
I suggest trying out the trial of Trend Micro XDR to assess its suitability for their environment. It can be a good solution for small or medium-sized organizations, but keep in mind that everyone has their own specific requirements.
Currently, our company uses the solution solely to monitor our servers for intrusions and other security-related issues.
I will have to have a look at my end to be able to explain the features that I find most valuable about the solution.
A room for improvement is Trend Micro XDR's website. It's a very complicated website since finding the right point one wants to see is difficult.
I have been using Trend Micro XDR for a year now. Also, I am a customer using the solution.
It is a stable product. It works very well.
Presently, we have 150 users in our company using the solution. Even if the number of users were to increase in my company, it would still work the same.
Initially, while using the solution in a company, we faced some issues. Our company did help us to resolve these issues.
Since another company carried out the initial setup process, my company did not find it complicated.
The solution is currently deployed on-premises, but we are planning a move to the cloud. We have a plan to conduct a POC for Trend Micro XDR on the cloud shortly.
The pricing of the solution is okay. There is a need for me to look into the new pricing plan introduced by the solution recently.
I would tell those planning to use the solution that they need to consider using it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
We primarily use the solution for the XDR.
We have integrated this with all of our endpoints. Basically, we are using it for incident response. We have a SOC team here, so we are using it in a SOC and the Workload solution. For two or three months, we have been migrating to Workload Security. It is mainly for incident response.
We are able to observe attack techniques and targeted attack detection.
We need to explore more on it since it is still a new product for us.
It is quite advanced, and it can help us protect our organization against threats. The targeted threat detection is great.
My understanding is the initial setup is pretty straightforward.
The solution has been stable.
We can scale the product as needed.
Technical support is helpful.
It is easy to maintain.
We'd like to see a few more integrations. Specifically, we'd like to see more IOC integration tools.
We haven't implemented the automation piece just yet; however, we will go through that soon. We just need more time to see how it all works.
I've been using the solution for six or seven months.
This solution seems to be pretty stable so far. I haven't come across any issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
The product is scalable. When we started, we had a few agents and very few endpoints. At this point, we've integrated with most of them. We haven't seen any issues as we've scaled up.
Support has been quite helpful overall. We've dealt with them multiple times, and they have always been helpful. We tend to get the help we need within two or three hours. They ask many questions and get down to solving the problem at hand.
Positive
I also work with Microsoft Defender.
We were using OfficeScan and ApexOne as well.
We decided to work with this product as it had a good reputation.
While I wasn't directly involved with the setup, my understanding is it was straightforward. I do not recall hearing about any complexities coming up. The deployment itself took a few months.
In terms of maintenance, we do get hotfixes every once in a while. It's pretty simple to maintain.
Trend Micros assisted our team with the setup process. However, it was mostly handled in-house.
I can't speak to the exact cost.
I'm an end-user. We are using the latest version of the solution.
The support is pretty good. It is really straightforward. It is very easy to understand, and therefore, I highly recommend the solution.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I work with it as a third party in other companies. I installed XDR in other companies. And then, I help them understand the tool, help them with developing the necessary use cases, and understand, for example, how to do a threat intel, how to do a threat investigation, and stuff like that. Sometimes, I work with it as well by implementing it and actively using it in the customer's environment.
The workbench feature is excellent. It helps a lot with understanding how the environment is working and how the threats are working in their own environment. It helps a lot to understand where the threat is coming from, where it is going, how is it being dealt with, et cetera.
We do not use XDR to protect a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environment. I have other solutions on the cloud, like Apex One, the endpoint protection feature in the cloud. I have Cloud One Workload Security, which is protection for workloads and servers where the main console is in the cloud. I'm mainly using this to protect an on-premises environment.
I've been using it for emails, for networks, endpoints, workload servers, et cetera. It has the ability to cover all of those. The coverage is really important. The integration between all those different tools and those different assets makes a big difference in understanding the analytics.
It provides centralized visibility and management across our protection layers. That helps in a lot of ways. For example, the fact that it has some centralized visibility means we can do searches between email addresses and an endpoint. We can take a workspace, for example, and do IPS detection in a workspace and understand from which endpoint something is coming.
We use the executive dashboards that they have almost every day. Once we see an anomaly or something that feels weird in the environment, we can go straight to work, straight to the detections, and we can take a look at it to see what's going on.
We use the Risk Index mainly to help us understand a customer's environment. We use it to get a brief overview of how the environment is, how high their risk is, and then, given the score that we've received, to understand what is causing this risk and then give them suggestions on how to take the score down.
We use the Managed XDR feature. It just basically collects the telemetry and sends it to the console so we can use it in other parts. It has helped a lot with the team's workload. The detection has been really, really useful. It helps a lot to rank where we should put our efforts. Sometimes we'll have to take a deep investigation into some of the stuff we see. Sometimes other issues emerge as we dig. It's helped in detection.
We use the risk management attack surface capability to understand the vulnerabilities and how high a risk something is in the environment. It can help with detection. It's helped us effectively identify blind spots.
The product has helped us decrease time to detect. We've had some issues with a couple of our customers in which the XDR helped us easily detect an issue, and it was fast enough for us to be able to react and respond quickly in order to mitigate damages.
The web viewer could be improved. I've had some issues with it in the past.
The zero trust is a bit complicated compared to other parts of the solution.
Mostly, I don't have any issues with XDR.
I've used the solution for about three years.
I haven't had any issues with stability. There has been no crashing to lagging. We occasionally get informed about maintenance that may cause downtime.
We've had no issues with scalability.
I've contacted support in the past. They are pretty good. They have a high understanding of the platform and the solutions. If they need to escalate, it's easy to do so.
Positive
We did not use a different solution previously.
I was involved in the installation. We have an agent installed in the endpoints or a sensor connected to the mail sensors.
The initial setup is straightforward. You just click through with a simple connection.
It doesn't require any maintenance on my end.
We had about four people handling the implementation. We just had to have some credential access, and once the connections were made, we had to distribute the sensors throughout the environment.
You need the whole platform to use XDR. However, there are some activities you don't need XDR to use.
I'm not familiar with their pricing and licensing.
We are an official Trend Micro partner.
We do not yet use the automation capabilities found in XDR.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
After implementing XDR, have a good understanding of how the workbenches work to create a decent playbook. Use the service gateway to your benefit. Connect your active directories, make connections, and use integrations with your firewalls. These third-party integrations are really good, and they help you a lot with your environment.
We use the solution primarily for monitoring. It's for running investigations.
If we need any endpoint logs, we're able to access them. It helps us with investigations. We can see, for example, if we are investigating email, the processes running, and any anomalous activity. It detects that kind of stuff.
We are using MicroVision One and it helps us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers. Having a centralized view is very helpful. If we have everything in one place, we can see in one display all of the virtual information and attack rates, et cetera. It makes it easier for an engineer to monitor everything.
We use the risk index feature for the endpoints. It helps with the analysis of malware. It can automate scanning for day-to-day activities.
Trend Micro helped us to decrease our time to detect when responding to threats. It has also helped reduce the amount of time used to investigate false positive alerts.
The support has been delayed at times. They could improve that aspect of the solution.
I've been using the solution for about six months.
The solution is stable. We've had a good experience.
The solution can scale. I'd rate the ability to scale eight out of ten.
The support response can be delayed during investigations.
Neutral
We did not previously use any other solutions.
We did not handle the deployment. It was handled by Trend Micro.
There is a bit of maintenance required. However, the vendor handles it.
Trend Micros handled the initial setup for us.
I'm on the client side. I don't deal with the licensing directly.
We use the solution across our network.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
The information you get for the solution in terms of investigation, makes things easier.
I use Trend Micro XDR to centrally visualize threats and have a single-pane-of-glass view of my security posture. In a single console, I can have visibility of all the security threats that occur in each of my Trend Micro Security consoles.
The most valuable feature is the Workbench engine.
The integration with third-party tools and with on-premises Active Directory needs improvement.
I've been using it for about three or four years.
I would rate Trend Micro XDR's stability at nine out of ten.
For scalability, I would give a rating of ten out of ten.
I would rate technical support at eight out of ten.
Positive
Trend Micro XDR's initial setup is straightforward. We have seven people who manage the solution.
It's relatively well-priced.
If you are considering Trend Micro XDR, my advice would be to take into account your endpoints, servers, scanners, workloads, and mobile devices. Include every device you would like to monitor and protect.
Overall, I would rate Trend Micro XDR at nine out of ten.
I was team lead with incident responses and incident management. We used the solution for that.
We were already using Trend Micro endpoint, NGAV by Trend Micro, and we got that upgraded to the XDR version. There was not much of a change after that. The only good thing about upgrading to XDR from NGAV was, having those real-time logs and network activities in front of us.
My reviews with Trend Micro are somewhere average. I won't rate it as an excellent tool or utter nonsense. I won't rate the two extremes, however, I would say it's in between them. It was mostly fine.
XDR provided a much more deep view into what is actually happening.
The rest of the features were pretty simple. There's nothing glamorous about them, however, it works. Nothing much really stood out amongst what the others were giving and what Trend Micro was giving. They are all pretty typical.
The dashboard was pretty easy to navigate. It was pretty convenient and user-friendly.
Results were delayed. We had all the logs in our hands. We were pretty quick in giving out the results and coming up with a conclusion. Trend Micro was pretty delayed on that front, however.
Their turnaround time or the response to their MDR services was slow. While doing POC, we did MDR as well. They could improve the response time on that. That was my view back then, as it used to take a lot of time to get that case generated, get that case analyzed. In the end, we were more interested in the responses from the actual human analysts. Instead of having a machine-generated thing, we were banking on understanding how an incident is treated and how a response is being given. For us, for example, we were able to do our analysis and come to the same conclusion maybe four or five hours before we received Trend Micro's report. Almost all the results were identical.
There was one feature called Sandbox that I wanted to try on, however, at that time, they had not released it yet.
Since last August, I have been working with another organization, so I am not sure how Trend Micro has developed within the last ten months.
I was never able to test the live response feature, wherein I could take access, remote access of the infected system, and send some commands to kill the processes, or maybe to grab the artifacts, to triage the artifact. By the time it came online, I was moving to another organization.
We'd like a bit of freedom or flexibility on the portal. If I'm the end-user, and I see something bad which might not be bad from Trend Micro's perspective, however, for my organization, was an abnormal activity.
Executing things via PsExec might be something that is normal for some organizations, however, for my organization, it is a highly suspicious thing. If I want to investigate that, having the flexibility for me to investigate it in a deeper sense would be ideal.
That was something that was not possible at that time. I don't know if they have given more freedom to Trend Micro admins.
We'd love more flexibility in terms of implementing some of the configurations, estate-wise. That is something that I would have loved to see in Trend Micro.
I used the solution for a month and a half, maybe. Or six weeks.
The response time, the analysis, or the human part was something which was requiring improvement. From the tool perspective, there were a lot of things that were to be released at the time I was using it.
We used to see those on the dashboard. For example, the sandbox. They had a sandbox, just like what CrowdStrike does where you can have a license for the sandbox. You can run those EXEs or whatever files, or malicious artifacts through those sandboxes and get a result.
That was something that was under development, though it was being displayed on the dashboard as "coming soon". There were a lot of features that were to be implemented. It was notified to the end-user as "Okay, that these features are coming in, and we are not sure how long it will take."
The trend lines were pretty extensive - like a year or maybe seven months, eight months. Those were the timelines for the actual deployment of those features into the dashboard. Therefore, it's hard to speak to the stability of the product.
The scalability is good. It was just a matter of installing the agent, which was pretty easy to deploy via a group update. Scalability was not an issue. The more licenses we purchased, the more systems we could get coverage upon.
There were endpoints plus servers covered.
We were heavily dependent on them. The reason was, that we had Trend Micro NGAV and we upgraded to Trend Micro XDR.
Their technical support isn't that great.
I used to speak with their CSMs quite frequently. They used to take a lot of feedback from us, asking about how things were, as their detection improvement was something which, also we were part of, not directly, however, we had one more team who used to do VAPT.
We used to post those results and say, "Okay, this is what we did. We did not get any alerts from you. We did not get any communications from you. What if this was an active hands-on keyboard activity and we were under attack?" They used to take that feedback. They used to get it implemented. Detection was then pushed in. They were in that development phase. I am not sure how well they are doing right now.
Negative
I've worked with CrowdStrike and Sophos and they provide a much better way to handle things than Trend Micro.
We never had any other tools or other antiviruses, other EDR solutions, that were playing any roles in the infrastructure. We only had ESET, and we were phasing those ESET servers out to Trend Micro. The only tool that we worked on, or XDR that we worked on, was Trend Micro.
The initial setup was pretty straightforward. They had given us one file which we could push through group policy updates. It was implemented throughout the organization. Implementing was pretty easy and it was pretty lightweight.
I was happy about that as it was not a resource-hungry agent which was running in the background, and we could not kill it, we could not limit it. Typically, XDR agents can be a bit resource-hungry, however, this one from Trend Micro was very light.
I'm not sure how long the deployment itself took.
Our IT team was pretty huge. It was around 30 odd people who used to work on it, however, I'm not sure how many of them were dedicated to working on Trend Micro for maintenance.
We had our internal IT team who we used to do the installation.
The company I worked for did not lose its money as Trend Micro was a low-cost tool. The features which we were getting were justified by the cost. It was not too costly to have those features.
I'm not sure of the exact price, although it is moderate. I'd rate it 3.5 out of five in terms of affordability.
You could get new features with an added cost per license, or it used to be bulk. Having that modularity helped in choosing and protecting our systems, and keeping the cost down. That modularity helped us in the beginning.
We also evaluated CrowdStrike with Trend Micro. CrowdStrike was phenomenal. I have all the good answers for them. If I have to rate them, I will rate each feature four out of five and above since they were that good.
CrowdStrike was too costly for our organization to have, as we had started building the Infosec inside, having Infosec in-house. Previously, it was outsourced. I was the first person who was enrolled for Infosec.
I was an end-user.
I'm not sure which version we were using it.
The solution was on the cloud. We were discussing having it on-prem, however, the cloud made much more sense for such a small organization rather than utilizing the resources on-site.
I'd rate the solution six out of ten.
One of the features I like in Trend Micro XDR is that you can drill down on the root-cause analysis for anything you find on the solution. I also like that it works for detection purposes. Behavior analytics is also what I like most about Trend Micro XDR. I love that it has features such as behavior detection, program detection, and memory scanning. By default, the solution protects against spyware, apart from the normal virus scan. Smart Scan and DLP are also available in Trend Micro XDR which I like as well.
A room for improvement in Trend Micro XDR is more visibility into the alerts. We do get alerts from the solution, but when we are away, we need to have more visibility.
An additional feature we'd like to see in the next release of Trend Micro XDR is reporting, particularly RCA reports because those will help us a lot. Right now, we need to log into the portal to drill down the RCA. For example, when an alert comes in, it will be blocked immediately by Trend Micro XDR. We get the message "This has been blocked", but when we want to drill down in terms of where it started, we need to log into the server, do the RCA, and drill down on it. While doing the RCA and drilling down on it, it would be good if we could get a report directly from Trend Micro XDR because that report could help us.
We've been working with Trend Micro XDR for more than one year, and we're still using the solution.
During the first time we used Trend Micro XDR, we had some issues in terms of stability, but later on, everything became stable.
Trend Micro XDR is a scalable solution.
My impression of the technical support for Trend Micro XDR is good.
We compared Trend Micro XDR against CrowdStrike and Palo Alto, but in terms of the features and pricing, we went with Trend Micro XDR. The solution had a really good price and we are getting almost all the features.
The setup for Trend Micro XDR was easy and didn't have much challenges, especially because we have centralized management so it was easy to manage.
The first time we implemented Trend Micro XDR, we had an integrator because we were on Trend Micro Apex One, then we wanted to migrate that existing solution to Trend Micro XDR, so during that time, we needed an integrator for the implementation of the solution.
Trend Micro XDR has a good price, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of price.
My company evaluated CrowdStrike and Palo Alto.
My company is working with Trend Micro XDR, an advanced version of the EDR solution.
There are around six hundred users of this solution, but only one person required for its maintenance. Normally, my company deploys this agent. There's another tool from where my company pushes this agent to the end user, pulls to the end user system, then scans from this console, then my company gets all the reports.
I would rate Trend Micro XDR seven out of ten.
