What needs improvement?

While we consider all the features to be valuable, we occasionally encounter issues with the performance. My technical team would be in a better position than I to address these. 

The technical support should be more proactive. I rate it as an eight out ten. 

There should be better support for ransomeware. It would be nice to see proper security terms, technical improvisations in terms of security.

I have been working with Trend Micro Apex One for nearly two years.

I rate the scalability of the solution as an eight out of ten.

  • "The integration capabilities could be a bit better."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for endpoint security. It helps protect us from malware and viruses for the most part.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very easy to use.

The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it.

The stability has been very good so far. It's reliable.

We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward. 

What needs improvement?

I am a supervisor for the technical team. My technical team has used the product for the most part. I don't use the solution in a technical sense and therefore it is difficult to discuss what might be lacking or where changes may need to be made.

The integration capabilities could be a bit better. right now, it's my understanding that they are not as strong as they could be. It's an aspect that could be improved in future releases. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for about five years or so. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. It's reliable and the performance has been good overall. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have around 2,000 users on the solution right now.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support, in general, has been manageable. They are helpful and responsive. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide to us. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with it. The process is not overly complex or difficult.

A full deployment only takes three to five days, and therefore isn't too time intensive in general.

We have three staff members that can handle deployment and maintenance responsibilities.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the implementation ourselves. We didn't use a consultant or integrator at all. We're integrators ourselves.

What other advice do I have?

We're systems integrators. 

We're using the latest version of the solution right now.

Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with the product and its capabilities.

Provides good reports, affording control and a birds-eye view of what's transpiring
Pros and Cons
  • "We have found the reports to be most valuable."
  • "Apex Central provides good reports, affording control and a birds-eye view of what's transpiring."
  • "Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company."
  • "The endpoints should be addressed. Occasionally, certain driver versions, such as the original PC drivers and the ones that are HP, would read something as an external threat and this would cause us problems."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution as a central server so that clients may be deployed on their PCs.

We use it for client endpoint purposes.

What is most valuable?

We have found the reports to be most valuable. Apex Central provides good reports, affording control and a birds-eye view of what's transpiring.

What needs improvement?

The endpoints should be addressed. Occasionally, certain driver versions, such as the original PC drivers and the ones that are HP, would read something as an external threat and this would cause us problems. In reality, these were nothing more than false alarms. In a big environment, this presented an issue at the time. The issue was, in fact, internal and not external, such as that originating from a driver, like a graphics card driver, or a DLL file. Alarms were going off in all our PC's and this was a problem we encountered with a major customer of ours. However, a patch was released and the problem was dealt with. 

The support could also be better.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that the solution is not user friendly, but some of the patches are creating problems, such as those of the driver that we are struggling to trace out. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for the past three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far the product has proven stable and implementable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable and I plan to continue to use it in the future. 

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support and the extent of its knowledge should be worked on.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is very cool. It is so nice.

It took 20, perhaps 40, minutes.

The technical team needed for the deployment and maintenance can vary. It depends on the company's environment, or the project or contract involved. I am not referring to the 20 permanent users I mentioned but to the customers, the clients. The number may be 18, it may be 15. It varies.

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

It used to be that the customer had to pay for licensing fees. Sometimes he dealt directly deal with our company and at other times with that of Trend Micro, which would have dealings with us.

Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company. When a company is international it may have a global contract that would be relevant. Otherwise, the deal may vary according to the country or partner involved.

What other advice do I have?

Trend Micro Apex One is a good product, with the inclusion of more features. 

Some projects will involve the implementation of the solution and others will be upgraded versions from OfficeScan to Trend Micro Apex One or Apex Central. Our control manager has switched to Apex Central. Sometimes a small company will be involved and at other times the implementations.

The solution is both cloud-based and on-premises.

We have around 20 customers using the solution.

I rate trend Micro Apex One as an eight out of ten.
