What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. If you need to expand it, you can.
We have around 10,000 users on the solution at this time.
How are customer service and support?
I'm not sure if our team has ever used technical support. I've never contacted them directly.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Trend Micro's been in our company for quite some time. Apex, under the new name, is the latest. Before that, it was OfficeScan, which was Trend Micro as well. We've likely used Trend Micro for a decade.
How was the initial setup?
It's an easy product to set up, from my understanding. I don't recall discussing any complexities during implementation. The deployment likely took less than a month. It doesn't take too long.
At this point in time, just a couple of engineers are needed to manage the solution.
What about the implementation team?
Our team handled the setup process. We did not use an integrator or reseller.
What was our ROI?
We've likely experienced an ROI while using the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not familiar with the licensing costs. They are a part of our enterprise agreement.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure which version I'm using at the moment. I don't directly manage the solution at the moment.

Easy to learn, responsive support, and good threat-hunting and protection capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "Its threat-hunting capabilities and the information about the known threats are the most available features. It can easily catch any threat in our environment."
- "We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work."
What is our primary use case?
We use Apex One for security purposes. We have installed Apex One agents on 1,900 laptops and desktops. We use all the modules that are available in Apex One.
How has it helped my organization?
We have seen a reduction in viruses and malware since moving to Apex One.
Apex One is very good for threat detection and removal and scanning purposes. It has advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and stealthy new threats. These capabilities are definitely important for us.
It can detect ransomware with runtime machine-learning capabilities. It has the capability to detect ransomware-related threats as well.
Apex One can be integrated with other security products.
They provide virtual patching to protect against vulnerabilities even before a patch is available for the source of the issue.
What is most valuable?
Its threat-hunting capabilities and the information about the known threats are the most available features. It can easily catch any threat in our environment. If you have applied policies and rules, it quarantines or mitigates a threat. It is a very good feature in Apex One.
Apex One is easy to learn. It is not complex.
What needs improvement?
We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work.
When we implement an application policy for application control, sometimes, users are not able to access other applications. We apply the policy to a specific application, but it gets applied to all applications. We have found such issues, so the application module or application rules need to be improved in Apex One.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Apex One for five years. I have been using it in my current company for four years, and I also used it in my previous company.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There is downtime, but it is minimal.
How are customer service and support?
Their support is very good. Whenever we need their help, we raise a ticket, and we get a response within one or two hours. We get a very good response from Trend Micro support. I would rate them an eight 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 previously used McAfee.
How was the initial setup?
It is on-prem as well as on the cloud. I was involved in its initial deployment, but it was four years ago. It was simple. It was not too complex.
In terms of maintenance, it does require maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
We got help from Trend Micro. There were two people in total. I and one person from Trend Micro were involved in its deployment.
What other advice do I have?
You need certain skills and a certain amount of knowledge to work with this solution because a lot of things are there. I have been working with Apex One for about five years, and it has been good so far. It is very easy to use, and it gives good protection from threats. I would recommend it to others.
Overall, I would rate Apex One a nine out of ten.

I'm working for a company that is a partner for Trend Vision. We act as an intermediary between the vendor and the customer.
Trend Vision One Endpoint Security is more comfortable for administration, and its customer support is good.
If I want to make a ticket for Trend Vision, I can make it via Trend Vision support or contact its partner.
The capability to defend endpoints against threats is very strong because it uses a signature-based outlet. I can investigate threats using vendors like Trellix and Carbon Black, but Trend Vision is the first to detect malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts.
Trend Vision One Endpoint Security has advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and stealthy new threats. It's very important as the algorithms of Trend Vision communicate with the One Endpoint Security appliance and provide feedback with all of the updated signatures.

Head of Information Technology at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Works very well, has a reasonable price, and is easy to learn and manage
Pros and Cons
- "It is easy to learn. In just two or three hours, our system administrator could learn how to use it. It is easy to integrate and easy to manage."
- "One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for endpoint protection. We are using its latest version.
How has it helped my organization?
I did not get too much bad feedback from the employees and the users in the company. That is the main benefit for me.
It reduces administrative overhead. Along with our mail security solution, there is a 40% or 50% reduction.
What is most valuable?
Based on the feedback from the consumers or the parties that are working in the company, I did not get much bad feedback. Nobody said that it is not working or they are not able to work. They can run their programs as usual while Apex One is retrieving data or scanning their computers or laptops. It also catches any malicious activities or spyware easily. Apex One provides good defense against threats such as malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts. I would rate it a four out of five for its protection capabilities.
It is easy to learn. In just two or three hours, our system administrator could learn how to use it. It is easy to integrate and easy to manage.
What needs improvement?
One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it.
We escalated some thing to our consultant, and it is still not resolved. I asked my administrator about it, and he said that they are working on it. I did not follow up too much because it was not a very complex issue. Only one of two users had this problem, but it did not disturb their operations. There was an error message on their systems, and when they clicked okay, it got closed. They did not face this problem all the time. It happened only in some cases, but we could not find the reason.
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 stable. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. We have about 100 users using the solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using another solution for endpoint protection. I do not remember its name, but we switched to Trend Micro within two or three months of my joining this organization.
The most important reason for switching was that the other solution did not have an EDR solution. The price was also more than the Apex One and EDR altogether. We also saw some malware problems, and some of the users also had issues with using their computers. They could not even move the mouse, whereas Apex One does not impact their work. It works in the background.
How was the initial setup?
We had a consultant for the installation. He logged into our system and installed it. It took two days, which also included training.
It does not require much maintenance. It just works, and our system administrator does not have to work much on it. He uses it only if there is any issue. Otherwise, he does not touch it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Its price is reasonable compared to other solutions.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We considered other solutions. We did not do a PoC, but I asked the IT managers at my previous company for their opinion. In the end, we went for Trend Micro Apex One.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Trend Micro Apex One to others. It works well. You can just install it and then forget it.
We have not yet integrated it with other products. I have a cloud EDR solution, but it is still not in production. I have the license, but I have not used it yet.
I would rate Trend Micro Apex One a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Systems manager at Aluminios Cortizo
Easy to use but there are issues with the behavior filtering
Pros and Cons
- "It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution."
- "There is room for improvement in the behavior filtering and control of Trend Micro."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for many use cases, such as servers, clients, laptops, end-users, servers, and endpoints.
What is most valuable?
It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution a few months ago. However, we recently did an intrusion test, which didn't work as expected. So now we're very disappointed with it.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in the behavior filtering and control of Trend Micro. Currently, this feature is not functioning correctly, which is evident in the behavioral backset basset on signatures like visors, but the behavior filtering is not working properly and needs to be improved.

Information Security Manager at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Great configuration for device management but has a long deployment process
Pros and Cons
- "It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
- "It has good signature-based capabilities, but features like “shape detection” can be improved upon."
What is our primary use case?
For me, the use cases for Micro Apex apply to some agents only.
How has it helped my organization?
It is a great product capability-wise.
What is most valuable?
One of the features I like in Micro ApexOne is the configuration for device management; it is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases. For example, some job titles require specific and granular integrations for device management since the check is different from USB.
What needs improvement?
It has good signature-based capabilities. It's good for its capabilities but should offer a module with integrated machine learning where you can detect behaviour and knowledge.
Another significant issue is the deployment process; it is a little longer process and takes around five to six months.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for a year and a half. Although, I only log in a third of the time.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not faced any significant problems with stability on my computer. Therefore, I would rate it a seven as well, the same as scalability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Tech support could be better for a local company. I would give the tech support an overall rating of six and a half. We have to notify them that people are also using their product here.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is difficult because the process is long, and it took us about five to six months because CORETech is about that size.
What about the implementation team?
We deployed it on-premise.
What other advice do I have?
As a whole, I would rate Micro ApexOne a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Lightweight and easy to deploy but lacks futuristic features
Pros and Cons
- "The end user perspective is very good because the solution isn't complex to learn and support is readily available."
- "The solution could be more proactive by using AI to assess the production landscape and compete with other products."
What is our primary use case?
Our consultants provide solutions to our customers for SOC 2 use cases. We have more than 50 small to mid-sized customers and about ten enterprise customers.
For one use case, we compared features and pricing for possible options. The solution was the best fit and we completed the project in twenty days.
What is most valuable?
The solution is lightweight and easy to deploy.
The end-user perspective is very good because the solution isn't complex to learn and support is readily available.
What needs improvement?
The solution could be more proactive by using AI to assess the production landscape and compete with other products that fully support Linux.
For example, the old version of Apex did not support some kernels in the Linux environment. But their new version called Vision is supporting Linux and you're going to want all that compatibility. It is important that the solution stay on top of the latest trends.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is cloud-based and scalable.
How was the initial setup?

We implement the solution for customers.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable and depends on user count.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We recommend the solution for tighter budgets or use cases that are not too feature heavy.
If a customer has a bigger budget or is looking for a more futuristic product, then we recommend CrowdStrike or SentinelOne.
Customers needing full Linux support should look at Apex' new product called Vision.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution a seven out of ten in comparison to SentinelOne and CrowdStrike.
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?
