Excellent application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring
Pros and Cons
  • "This is a very good product for our customers, and I use the application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring which are all great features."
  • "Lacking features, not yet fully mature."
  • "The main issue of the product is that it's lacking features and in that sense it's not a fully mature product."

What is our primary use case?

I'm a security engineer and we are partners with Trend Micro.

What is most valuable?

This is a very good product for our customers. I use the application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring which are all great features. 

What needs improvement?

The main issue of the product is that it's lacking features and in that sense it's not a fully mature product.  There is currently no global exclusion list available and some features are not available. I think this will improve in the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for three years.

A strong security product for endpoint protection with good stability, good security capabilities, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
  • "It would be great it can support endpoint encryption."

What is our primary use case?

It is mainly used for endpoint security. It can be deployed on-premises or on the cloud, so it is a fairly hybrid product.

What is most valuable?

It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection.

What needs improvement?

It would be great it can support endpoint encryption.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are securing more than 15,000 endpoints with this solution.

How are customer service and technical support?

Their technical support is okay. They have a good support mechanism.

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

We have replaced Symantec and McAfee with Trend Micro Apex One.

How was the initial setup?

Its installation has medium complexity. It is not very difficult, but it is also not that easy. It is an endpoint product, and the installation also depends on the number of users. The maximum number of individual deployments that we have done was about 8,000 users. We had around five engineers who worked for around three months for the entire deployment.

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

It has a per-user license.

What other advice do I have?

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

Good technical support with a great complexity and the capability to scale
Pros and Cons
  • "We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall."
  • "We believe in the solution and we see the value in it."
  • "The solution should adjust its pricing for the smaller market we are in."

What is our primary use case?

Next month, we will implement the solution as our own primary endpoint solution. Currently, we have clients that are using it for the same purpose.

What is most valuable?

We've just started the distribution of Trend Micro Products. We're at the start of the process. However, it's my understanding that it is a very complete solution.

With the DLP addition, it's quite a good product.

The complexity of the product is very good. It has a lot of features. It covers many items and different parts of intrusions.

The solution can scale quite well.

We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall.

What needs improvement?

We're still in the early stages of using the solution. We need more time to do some installations and work with the product to really be able to evaluate it completely. 

We had some challenges with the initial setup.

The solution should adjust its pricing for the smaller market we are in.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've only been using the solution for about six months - or half a year. We haven't used the solution for that long just yet.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very easy to scale and quite flexible. If a company needs to scale, it can do so with ease.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have our own global distributor, a local provider, and they have some technical personnel that covers the lower level of support queries. For a big issue, we contact the Trend Micro team directly. 

It's very easy to contact both. They are very quick and responsive, They are quite knowledgeable and helpful. We're very satisfied with the level of service we are provided with.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup can be difficult. We had some issues, however, we worked with a local provider here in Bulgaria, and successfully performed this type of installation previously.

What about the implementation team?

We had the assistance of a local provider that was well trained in implementation. They sorted out any problems we had and helped us set everything up. We were very satisfied with the results.

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

We have a small market in Bulgaria and the price is always the leading issue and the leading decision point. Trend Micro is a big vendor, one of the best vendors, in my opinion. For a couple of years they've been in the top three and top five as an antivirus solution. Therefore, the quality comes at a price. I try to explain to our customers and our clients that they are paying for quality. That said, due to the fact that Bulgaria is such a small market, the pricing doesn't match the expectations. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I am currently comparing this solution with ESET.

What other advice do I have?

We are both a distributor of this product as well as a customer.

I'd recommend the solution to other companies. We don't just offer it to clients. We use it ourselves. We believe in the solution. We see the value in it.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. Although there are some improvements to be made, it's a very complete product with good flexibility and a good level of flexibility.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Stable, straightforward to set up, and reasonably-priced
Pros and Cons
  • "This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
  • "Overall, this is a good solution and I can recommend it."
  • "The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this product for endpoint protection on all of our workstations and servers.

What is most valuable?

We are using this as an antivirus solution and all of those features are helpful.

What needs improvement?

The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 1,000 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have rarely been in contact with technical support, but my experience with them has been okay.

How was the initial setup?

The installation process is straightforward. We are automating it, so I am not sure of the time that it takes to deploy. Installing it is done through our group policy.

What about the implementation team?

Our organization deployed it with an in-house team before I joined.

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

The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive. The subscription is paid on an annual basis.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The evaluation of products took place before I joined the company.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good solution and I can recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Good technical support with the capability to scale and offers real-time scanning
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution offers good community support."
  • "Their real-time scan feature is excellent, proactively scanning every movement within the machine or the workstation, and it's a very nice security feature."
  • "It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
  • "Trend Micro's reporting is lacking in a lot of ways."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is an endpoint antivirus. We primarily use it for endpoint security and protection.

Most of the customer requirements are just to have endpoint security - and something that is not just pattern-based or signature-based. They want to have protection with zero-day attacks and suspicious malware alerts. 

What is most valuable?

Their real-time scan feature is excellent. It's proactively scanning every movement within the machine or the workstation. It's a very nice security feature.

The solution is largely stable.

The initial setup can be pretty straightforward.

The technical support is good. They have local techs that can assist. We don't have to worry about time zones, et cetera.

The solution offers good community support.

What needs improvement?

Trend Micro's reporting is lacking in a lot of ways. Right now, I have some customers that want the report to be customized, and we're having trouble with the customization of the reports in general. They need to make the features more flexible to meet the needs of clients. It's far too difficult to customize right now.

It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit.

The product needs to execute faster. It's an aspect that can be improved upon in future releases.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with the solution over the last 12 months at least.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability, for the most part, is very good. There are a few bigs and fixes here and there, however, that is typical of most software. It's not something that stops it from being reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We largely handle enterprise implementations.

How are customer service and technical support?

I'm satisfied with the level of support we get. Their support is good since they have local support here in the Philippines. They are knowledgeable and responsive, and it's nice to have local help.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward, as long as the setup of the customer is also straightforward. There could be some complexities involved. It depends on the current setup or network set up of the customers.

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

I don't have the visibility in terms of pricing. It's not an aspect of the solution I concern with. I can't speak to the licensing costs or how often the company needs to pay.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

It actually competes with McAfee and Symantec. They are our direct competitors.

What other advice do I have?

We are resellers of Trend Micro.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the exact version number.

We use various deployment models, including on-premises and cloud.

In general, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. Our customers, for the most part, have been quite happy with the solution and its level of security.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Lightweight, automatically scans websites and email attachments, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
  • "This product is easy to use, doesn't consume too much in terms of resources, and has automatic scanning."
  • "I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."

What is our primary use case?

This product is set up on our company laptops and I used it to scan files to ensure there is no virus or malware on my PC.

What is most valuable?

Sometimes when I browse to a website, there will be malicious content and it will be pointed out by Trend Micro.

This product automatically scans my email attachments to make sure that there is no malware or any malicious code.

Another advantage is that the level of resources it consumes is not very significant. I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included. This type of module can effectively detect an attack, like ransomware. This is not something that I have at the moment.

The dashboard could be a little bit easier.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One since I joined the company, six or seven years ago. The company was using it prior to that.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is quite stable and reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are between 200 and 300 users in the company.

How are customer service and technical support?

Our IT department handles technical support, so if I need help then I don't contact the vendor directly.

What about the implementation team?

Our IT department is responsible for deployment and maintenance. They follow ISO compliance and keep the product up to date.

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

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

What other advice do I have?

This product is easy to use, doesn't consume too much in terms of resources, and has automatic scanning. Because of these features, I recommend it to other users.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A straightforward setup and good multi-layer protection with easy management capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
  • "There is excellent multi-layer protection offered by the product."
  • "We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus. It protects our organization.

What is most valuable?

As a specialist and price management console, it's easy to manage. 

There is excellent multi-layer protection offered by the product. There are multiple layers of behavior monitoring, process monitoring, et cetera. The multi-layer aspect is actually one of the main reasons we chose this particular solution.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We've found the stability to be very good.

What needs improvement?

We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints. This seems to be largely the fault of multiple processing on the identity side. If they could improve this identity protection on the endpoint so that it could take up fewer resources on the machines, it would be a marked improvement.

We have had one problem. When we go to use corporate licenses, we'd like to have the ability to distribute them all over the globe. However, they work under a SAS model, and not all entities can use the SAS model. They are bound by one license key with one setup. If they had three to five SAS models linked to one key, it would be much better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for the past five years now. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good. Basically, it's the latest version of OfficeScan. There aren't too many differences and the stability in both cases was good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's quite reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, we've discovered that it is easy to scale. You basically just need to add the licenses and the console. If a company needs to expand the solution, it won't have any issues.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not complex at all. It was easy and very straightforward. We recently migrated from OfficeScan to Apex One, and it was a very simple process overall. 

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

The pricing, as compared to other options, is a bit higher. However, they're offering with single license multiple applications. With this product, you get things like application control, vulnerability control, et cetera. They have added more benefits. You may pay more, however, you also get more. Altogether, it's a rather reasonable offer.

What other advice do I have?

We are just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the organization.

In general, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's okay. We've mostly been happy with it.

This product basically a traditional antivirus system. Similar to McAfee and Symantec, Trend Micro, is based on traditional antiviruses. They have made improvements on some things, however, at the enterprise level, we know that these days we need a second layer of protection, specifically for malware. That is why we are using two solutions - Trend Micro plus Cisco AMP. AMP is specific to malware protection. Trend Micro handles the traditional antivirus side. It's very difficult to trust just one solution these days. We need to make sure we cover all the protection layers. 

Trend Micro claims that basically, Apex One is an enterprise level solution. We have been using last five years, and, so far, we haven't experienced any problems. Therefore, it's safe to say that we can recommend a product like this to other mid-level or small enterprises.

DLP feature is useful for our environment and we also get good support, but it needs a lighter agent that doesn't impact the performance
Pros and Cons
  • "DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment. It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good."
  • "Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."

What is our primary use case?

We are using it as an antivirus solution. We are testing the Data Loss Prevention feature, but basically, we are using it for our endpoints in a segmented network. There is not so much traffic to the internet.

What is most valuable?

DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment.

It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good.

What needs improvement?

Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for around three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It should be easy to scale. We have 40,000 subscriptions.

How are customer service and technical support?

We are using the support from our region, and they provide very good support. They have very well-trained people. 

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

We are migrating next week from Symantec Endpoint Protection to Trend Micro. We are part of a corporation that has offices in many countries of South America. We signed an agreement with Trend Micro, and that's why we are switching to Trend Micro.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. It takes a day to configure the server for configuration policies and other such stuff. For the deployment of the endpoints, it can take 15 days to set it up at the workplace.

What about the implementation team?

Our IT department has around two people working on IT infrastructure and security. Those are the required people.

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

We have a yearly subscription. Our subscription includes all solutions of Apex One, such as endpoint protection, DLP, and ransomware protection. We are paying around $30 for each.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution. Apex One has to make some changes to the scanning process. That's a negative point, but on the other hand, we get good support that responds almost immediately to our requests. 

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

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

User-friendly, easy to implement, with excellent support and good performance
Pros and Cons
  • "Trend Micro is very good, the performance is good and the control is user-friendly, and when comparing to other products, the console is much more user-friendly and it's easy to implement."
  • "We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation."

What is our primary use case?

We are system integrators and we work with many different products.

We have four to five customers that we have implemented Apex One for and everyone is quite satisfied.

Our customers are using this solution for endpoint protection.

What is most valuable?

Trend Micro is very good.

The performance is good and the control is user-friendly.

When comparing to other products, the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement.

What needs improvement?

We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation.

When implementing and you don't have a third-party tool, it can be difficult. Most people are working from home and using their own network to connect to the local office, so implementing these authorities can be challenging.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are no issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable solution.

Our customers are large companies with more than 5,000 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer support is excellent. They respond very quickly.

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

We have faced some issues with McAfee.

The features in Sophos are very good and the detection capability is excellent.

How was the initial setup?

It's very easy to implement.

Depending on the customer's environment and the features they are using, it can take two to three people to maintain and manage.

If they are using the device's central application to control everything at once for more than 2,000 users then a single person can't handle all of the modules. This would then require more people for maintenance.

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

The price is very good compared to other products.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely recommend Trend Micro, especially if they have a low budget.

If they have a larger budget then I could suggest Sophos, which is also a very good product.

It is all dependant on the customer's budget.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
