Provides solid security, centralized visibility, and flexible licensing

Pros and Cons

"The dashboard is valuable. It provides a comprehensive view of our security status and allows us to compare ourselves with other companies using Trend Vision."
"Our speed has increased significantly."

"Improving the user interface would be helpful—it can be confusing, especially if you do not use it daily."

What is our primary use case?

We have been in contact with Trend Micro for a very long time. We have a Domino server, which is the alternative to an Exchange server, and we have implemented their virus scanner there. Because of that, we decided to stick with the company and integrate Email Gateway Protection as well. It is important for us because we host our own mail server, and we receive a huge amount of spam. The goal was to reduce that. So far, we have reduced our email traffic by almost 50%—thanks to email filtering. This means our employees do not have to handle those emails anymore.

We receive around 1,000,000 emails per year and 500,000 of those are junk. That was a key factor in saving work time. Every email that lands in an inbox has to be handled—either deleted or responded to. We tested this with different employees and found that deciding whether an email is relevant or junk takes about 10 to 15 seconds per email. With 500,000 unnecessary emails, you can imagine how much time we are saving company-wide.

Another major reason we implemented this solution is phishing emails. This is a huge issue. Trend Micro offers phishing awareness training, but ideally, these phishing emails should not even reach our company, as they are highly dangerous. So far, Trend Micro has filtered out around 3,700 phishing emails for us.

There is another extremely dangerous issue—malicious software hidden in attachments. If an employee clicks on such an attachment, files could get encrypted. In the past year, Trend Micro has intercepted 60 such cases, meaning 60 incidents where our files did not get encrypted.

This is why we use this solution. Of course, there are other providers, but we find Trend Vision One's interface very user-friendly. We also have a dashboard where we can track everything and pull these statistics.

How has it helped my organization?

In Germany, such a security solution is very important. Due to a change in the law, company management is now obligated to ensure that IT security is based on best practices. If they fail to do so or are unaware of their security status and neglect it, they are now personally liable with their private assets. I also need a tool that allows my management and board to monitor our security status. One of the reasons why we chose Trend Vision One was that it provides the option for the board to check the dashboards. This means that every morning while having coffee, they can see the security status of the company on their phones. They can also ask, "Hey, why is our security score high? Is our IT department not working properly? Or do we have a real problem that requires additional software or other measures?" Additionally, negotiations become easier for the IT department, for management, and for us. If security gaps arise, we can say, "Hey, we need software or an investment of a certain amount." We now have a solid foundation for our case.

We use email security and endpoint protection. Endpoint protection is installed on every computer and server, with enhanced sensors on the servers. These security tools are crucial for us—without them, we would be blind in IT. They allow us to monitor the health of each system and user activity, including preventing access to inappropriate websites.

We have a lot of remote work, and we used to struggle because we could not properly monitor devices outside our network or firewall. Now, we can control things like applications, websites, USB sticks, and external hard drives, which was previously impossible. A key feature of our endpoint protection is that if a computer reaches a certain security risk score, it is automatically blocked by the software. This means that if an attack occurs, the affected computer is isolated from the network, preventing further spread.

Our biggest challenge is not direct hacking attacks—our company is not a high-priority target. Instead, phishing emails are the main issue. These emails attempt to trick employees into making fraudulent payments or providing access to our systems, allowing ransomware installation. Email security is our biggest focus area.

It has significantly reduced email volume, which is crucial, especially for our security team, as they do not have time to review every message. IT also receives fewer inquiries about whether emails are legitimate. Additionally, phishing training has helped—our employees recognize phishing attempts better, and our click rate on phishing simulations has dropped to zero. Previously, conducting a phishing simulation would have cost €2,500 per test, but now, we can run one or two tests per month at no additional cost. This provides great value.

It is important for us that Trend Vision One has AI built into its platform. It is essential for detecting abnormalities quickly. Humans may not notice certain threats, but AI can. However, AI is not perfect and sometimes lets suspicious emails through, which we then manually review in quarantine. AI is constantly learning, and the more it improves, the less manual intervention is needed, which is beneficial for us.

We now have visibility. Previously, we were blind and could not assess our security status.

Trend Vision One helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats. Previously, we relied on reading security forums and websites to identify vulnerabilities. Now, we get real-time alerts and can take immediate action.

Our speed has increased significantly. We can update and patch security threats daily, whereas before, it took weeks or even months.

Trend Vision One has helped our organization reduce its cyber risk, especially through endpoint protection. For example, our field employees used to connect unknown external hard drives, which posed a risk. That is no longer possible, eliminating a major threat vector.

Trend Vision One has helped consolidate our use of security vendors. Previously, we only had basic endpoint protection from another provider, which we replaced with Trend Vision. We now have more security software, not less, because our company has grown significantly—from a small business to a mid-sized enterprise. The IT department was lagging behind, and security was not a priority. Now, we manage everything with one provider, rather than multiple vendors.

What is most valuable?

The dashboard is valuable. It provides a comprehensive view of our security status and allows us to compare ourselves with other companies using Trend Vision. We can immediately see if we need to take action when updates are released with high CVE scores, without having to check multiple websites. This saves time and enables faster decision-making.

The platform provides not only visibility but also intervention capabilities, such as blocking threats. We are operating at a high level in this regard. I would rate Trend’s Vision One platform very high in providing centralized visibility and management across protection layers.

What needs improvement?

Improving the user interface would be helpful—it can be confusing, especially if you do not use it daily.

We do not see a need for additional features. The tool has so many capabilities that it can be overwhelming at first, which is why we implemented it step by step to avoid overwhelming our administrators.

900,125 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

We started with the Email Gateway Protection solution in December.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is very good. We have not had any failures so far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is very good as we can work with it flexibly.

We have an environment with 160 users and about 15 servers, all virtualized and running entirely on-premise.

How are customer service and support?

It is very good. If we have a problem, we call Mr. Weckwert or send him an email and receive a response.

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

We used SonicWall’s endpoint protection before, but it had issues. For example, the endpoint protection conflicted with VPN installations, requiring us to uninstall security features before updating VPN settings—an unacceptable security risk. With Trend Vision, we feel much better protected.

SonicWall is just a basic antivirus tool, whereas Trend Vision One provides more advanced features like software firewalls and the ability to block specific applications and websites, such as preventing employees from using Telegram or WhatsApp on work computers.

A downside is that Trend Vision One requires more system resources, so we had to upgrade some computers with additional RAM. However, that is not just due to Trend Vision One but also Windows 11’s increased demands.

How was the initial setup?

We use a hybrid model—Trend Vision’s cloud solution with local installations on our devices. We operate entirely on-premise.

We worked with a partner and now manage everything internally.

What about the implementation team?

For the implementation, all admins were present to understand how it works. It was like a training session for us.

Fundamentally, there is one colleague responsible for it, and they spend about an hour to an hour and a half on it daily.

In terms of maintenance, it only requires updates.

What was our ROI?

We have seen an ROI through time savings. The email filtering system paid for itself within a year.

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

It is very good. The flexibility to temporarily exceed license limits when setting up new devices is helpful, as it allows us to ensure security before purchasing additional licenses.

What other advice do I have?

Try it out. Ultimately, everyone has to decide for themselves if it fits their admin team. What I always say is that this tool monitors you and provides insights—it exposes weaknesses in an IT department. If IT management cannot handle that level of transparency, they should avoid it. If they see value in having more insights, it is a very valuable tool.

I would rate Trend Vision One an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

If a user mistakenly clicks on something they shouldn’t, the system can respond immediately and prevent damage before it occurs

Pros and Cons

"The SOC team is the most valuable feature for us because having experts who monitor global threat landscapes and can respond accordingly is incredibly helpful."

"Sometimes it’s difficult to find your way around."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to secure our endpoints and servers via Managed Detection. We secure them using XDA and Trend Micro’s SOC. We secure it based on behavior so that we have someone to respond if there are unusual issues with PCs, even on weekends and holidays when we’re not onsite, and then they inform us. That’s why we chose Trend Vision One.

We have it deployed on all of our PCs, both Windows and Linux laptops.

The security coverage is very important for my company's network. It is a requirement under the NIS2 directive, which is now coming into effect in the EU. The coverage is also important for us because we operate 24/7, but our IT staff is not available around the clock. To fill this gap, we opted for Trend Micro’s XDR solution. Trend Micro’s SOC team can respond even when no one from our team is available.

They also make sure we are properly notified because if an email comes in at 3 AM on a Sunday, no one will read it but if Trend Micro's SOC team calls, someone will check immediately. That’s why we chose this solution.

The security coverage is also particularly important for us because, as a hospital running 24/7, we must ensure the security of patient data and maintain the IT infrastructure's operational capability. If our systems go down, it could directly impact patient treatment. Around 10 years ago, before we had Trend Micro, we experienced an attack and our IT systems were down for an entire week. That was incredibly difficult.

With increasing digitalization and more medical processes relying on computers, doctors need easy access to X-rays, prior medical examinations, and other records. Since all of this data is stored digitally, solutions like Trend Vision One become even more essential. Availability must be guaranteed, and we cannot afford a situation where a system gets attacked and taken down. That’s why it is crucial for us to have this protection in place.

The biggest security challenges in my organization are:

Preventing unauthorized external access.
Reducing the risk of employees unknowingly giving attackers access to the network due to inexperience.

That’s why we use these solutions, in combination with Apex One and Deep Security, to prevent such incidents. If a user mistakenly clicks on something they shouldn’t, the system can respond immediately and prevent damage before it occurs.

How has it helped my organization?

With Trend Micro Vision One we now have a comprehensive overview of our entire network of all of our endpoints and Active Directory. We also have an industry comparison feature that allows us to gauge our security status.

For example, our advisor recently reviewed our security score and confirmed that we are in a good position. That gives us peace of mind.

What is most valuable?

The SOC team is the most valuable feature for us. Having experts who monitor global threat landscapes and can respond accordingly is incredibly helpful. They keep an eye on our system and can intervene if necessary to prevent significant damage. That is the most important aspect for us.

That’s a bit tricky to answer. Trend Vision One is a powerful tool that provides a vast amount of information. It requires some practice to filter out the most relevant insights and respond accordingly like investigating specific endpoints when necessary.

Since we are still relatively new to the platform and have a small IT team, we haven’t been able to fully explore all of Vision One’s capabilities. However, the data we do utilize helps us react appropriately and address potential threats before they escalate.

A major advantage is that we can integrate Active Directory into Vision One. This means we get alerts if something unusual happens in AD, and these notifications appear directly in Vision One. I believe firewalls can also be integrated, though we haven’t done that yet as we are currently upgrading our firewall infrastructure.

Having a centralized platform where logs and security alerts from multiple systems converge is a huge benefit, as it allows us to react efficiently from a single interface.

AI is beneficial because it can operate independently of predefined patterns, reacting based on behavior rather than fixed rules. It continuously learns and can detect threats that might not yet be covered by existing security protocols. This is a major step forward in cybersecurity.

We realized Trend Vision One's benefits quite quickly. Within one to two weeks, we already saw improvements. We really noticed the full impact after receiving our first report. That allowed us to analyze incidents, track past threats, and understand what was happening within our network. After about four weeks, we fully realized the platform's value.

It does save time when searching for an incident because you can simply display the incidents in the Vision One console. You can drill down to the task level and see which file was affected on which endpoint.

That makes things much easier when tracking a specific incident. It saves more than fifty percent of the time because, as mentioned, you can drill down directly from the endpoint in the console, down to the task, down to the file, the DLL, or whatever it is. And you also get a display of what it is without having to access the computer and search on Google. As mentioned, everything is displayed clearly and neatly in the Vision One console, sometimes even with suggestions on what to do.

My organization has reduced its cybersecurity risk. We have a centralized view of where the risks are, you can specifically access individual endpoints, and as mentioned, the SOC in the background immediately reports unusual behavior even when you’re not around. If it’s high-risk, we get a call.

In this regard, cybersecurity has improved significantly because a lot of things that previously went unnoticed are now detected.

What needs improvement?

Trend Vision One is already very powerful. The clarity and usability could be improved a bit. Sometimes it’s difficult to find your way around.

It’s such an important tool, and you can do a lot with it. With some practice and proper training, you can manage quite well.

We are currently implementing, as a pilot hospital, an ICAP virus scanner through the Service Gateway via Vision One, which scans our KIM emails. This was an important feature and Trend Micro has now implemented it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Vision One for about six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are currently working on scaling. We are integrating with ICAP functionality.

The scalability is very good. You can integrate almost everything you need, including mail security, etc. I’d give scalability a 10 because nearly everything is integrated.

How are customer service and support?

The staff we have dealt with were always very competent. What I find a bit difficult is that there is no German support. Since my English isn’t the best, we usually go through our consultant, as he knows the Trend Micro support team well and handles these things daily. So, we rely on our partner for that.

In terms of knowledge, the support is competent. The language barrier is just a bit challenging because when they speak fast in English and I don’t understand much.

What about the implementation team?

The initial setup was done by a consultant from SoftwareOne. He did a really good job, and everything went smoothly except for the hybrid installation with Deep Security.

That went quite smoothly. Apex One had some issues, and we had to keep a support case open for a long time before it worked properly. But now, everything works fine.

We are only four people in IT here, and everyone does a bit of everything for the setup.

We install the agents ourselves, meaning we have to manually set them up on each computer or server.

The clients are already rolled out, and everyone contributes when needed like whenever we work on something, another sensor gets installed, etc.

We have around 400 endpoints and approximately 600 users with a Windows environment and a virtualized setup using VMware.

Our server environment also includes VMware View in some areas.

In terms of maintenance, I have to regularly check reports and see what needs to be done. Otherwise, everything updates itself in Vision One.

Since Vision One is cloud-based, the console updates itself, as do the agents. Once everything is installed, there’s little to do.

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

There are additional costs.

Overall, the price-performance ratio is okay.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Sophos beforehand because we use it as a firewall. Since Vision One integrates well with existing solutions like Deep Security and Apex One, we chose an integrated solution and decided to go with Trend Vision One.

We also deliberately opted against a purely web-based solution. We run a hybrid installation, meaning that Apex One and Deep Security are still managed locally and connected to Vision One.

This is because we have been hacked before, and if I cut off internet access to our firewall, I wouldn’t be able to administer my security suite. With this setup, I can still manage and configure it before reconnecting to the internet.

What other advice do I have?

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

My advice to anybody considering Trend Vision One is that the most important aspect is the integration with existing solutions like Apex One and Deep Security.

It’s stable and provides a lot of information. The only downside is that it can be a bit complex to navigate.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Has significantly improved our company because we can now track and see how many attacks we have

Pros and Cons

"Trend Vision One has significantly improved our company because we can now track and see how many attacks we have. Since we’ve implemented it, we haven’t had any major attacks that have successfully entered the company. So, we know the defense mechanism is working."

"It would be great if there were Trend Micro products that could enhance the security of these devices, either as part of our product or in some other way integrated into our offering."

What is our primary use case?

Our use cases are essentially all the classic defense mechanisms that are used to protect devices, secure emails, and ensure that we don’t pull in anything harmful. We also monitor Internet and Intranet traffic to detect abnormal behavior and address it. This has helped us in many situations where we’ve faced external attacks, which then usually try to go back out. I always say that they try to drill through the wall and get back out, and in that way, we’ve been able to recognize when someone has gained access to our devices.

We operate in 60 countries with 4,000 to 4,500 employees, of which nearly 2,000 are based in Frankfurt. All of the end devices of our colleagues are under IT security monitoring. The Deep Discovery Inspector is implemented at three global locations: one in Europe, one in Asia, and one in the USA. This allows us to detect any issues early on, and with network segmentation, we can minimize potential damage in case of an incident.

The biggest security concerns in our industry are not really industry-specific but are intrusions. Identity theft is a challenge and then there are issues where people are manipulated into making money transfers to what seem like customer accounts that don’t actually exist.

Another is the classic attack, where ransomware is used to infiltrate systems and gain access through encryption and similar methods.

Additionally, we also have the issue of IP protection.

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Vision One has significantly improved our company because we can now track and see how many attacks we have. Since we’ve implemented it, we haven’t had any major attacks that have successfully entered the company. So, we know the defense mechanism is working.

In terms of our ability to manage risks, we already had the stances for risk management in place, from our side, from a purely conceptual standpoint. Through a solution like this, we always want to get a more concrete approach for the operational side. We aim to identify and assess risks and then determine the measures we can take to mitigate those risks. That’s where Trend Micro is very helpful.

Trend Vision One has significantly helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats.

In terms of whether or not Trend Vision One has helped my organization reduce noise from false positives, it’s always a matter of perspective in terms of whether or not the number of alarms has truly been reduced or if they were false alarms. We rolled out the solution across the company, and as a result, we now monitor more devices and have a more comprehensive view of security. Therefore, the number of alarms and false alarms has certainly increased, because we are now looking at all devices. Previously, we didn’t monitor them, so we didn’t notice them.

We have always seen alarms and false alarms. However, we have incorporated mechanisms to identify where the false alarms are coming from, and we continuously refine the system. Sometimes, activities in the internal IT administrative area trigger alarms that are not actual threats, and we continuously adjust and refine those rules to reduce false alarms. We didn’t have a solution in place before to compare whether or not it has reduced false positives. The mechanisms we have now allow us to assess both alarms and false alarms in detail and, in the case of false alarms, to trace where they come from and implement rules to prevent them from happening again.

Trend Vision One has definitely reduced my organization's cyber risk. We took a holistic view of all devices, became more aware of IT security risks from the outset, and then integrated all devices into that view. In the incidents we encountered at the beginning, as we increasingly implemented and observed this solution, a clear path was outlined on how to address and resolve these issues.

What is most valuable?

We implement the sensors globally from the angle that we are, in fact, global and operate worldwide. The importance lies in the fact that we know attacks can happen from anywhere, and therefore we decided to implement this as a standard solution within our company, The Samson Group. The Samson Group itself has 60 legal entities worldwide, and from our side, this is more of a governance requirement, meaning it must be used to protect the entire organization.

We have found the Deep Discovery Inspector that is in place exceptionally valuable. It has consistently helped us identify areas where issues are happening and where there have been small vulnerabilities in the network that could lead to issues. This happens when, at some point, an unauthorized device—one that shouldn’t be in the network—somehow gains access. This is certainly one of Trend Micro's standout features, as it has provided us with insight into what is happening in our network, which has prevented us from facing significant damage.

We have a positive impression of Trend Vision One's ability to provide us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers. The impression is definitely positive for us. That’s also why we decided to extend the contracts. It’s a very mature solution that is well-understood and user-friendly for people working in this field.

Trend Micro helps us consolidate security vendors because we are now establishing this as standard software for the company. We only work with one solution provider, which is part of the consolidation. When selecting the solutions, we carefully considered what was important to us and where issues occurred. For example, we were particularly pleased that the base and system come from a Japanese company, meaning we don’t have to put ourselves in the hands of Russian or American companies to make this happen.

We use the CREM features and from our perspective, it is very helpful because it provides a supportive function. In situations where we notice something, we also have a very direct line to the team.

When it comes to having AI, from a high-level perspective, I don’t really care how it’s done in terms of the solution. It's great if AI is used because we measure based on the results we achieve. It must meet the requirements for performance and speed. Today, AI is the tool of choice to achieve the necessary speed and performance. But it’s not about the fact that AI is involved; it’s about the fact that, at the end of the day, a fast and reliable solution has been created.

What needs improvement?

We still have devices that are not traditional IT equipment but rather fall under the category of Operational Technology (OT) devices. There is increasingly a blending of the traditional OT world, which requires a specific focus, as OT devices often don't use standard Ethernet protocols and similar technologies. These are areas where I believe more can be done by Trend Vision One.

Taking it a step further, we also produce items that include IT elements, which are then used by customers. It would be great if there were Trend Micro products that could enhance the security of these devices, either as part of our product or in some other way integrated into our offering. But that's a different approach. At the moment, we use Trend Micro to protect our own company and our internal networks, but expanding this to our customer-facing products is an idea for the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro for a long time, since 2020. We started in 2019 and signed our first Trend Vision One contract in 2020.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very high. We rarely encounter stability issues. When we do have issues, we typically find that they originate from our side, usually because certain information couldn't be provided by the server.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Compared to other companies, we're not huge, but during the rollout and expansion, we found that it scales easily. We haven't encountered any issues with scaling effects or anything like that.

How are customer service and support?

Their technical support is excellent because we continuously see that when an issue arises, direct communication is sought. The ability to act quickly and be in direct communication is very important to us. It's not just about high-level support with the chatbot; rather, when an issue occurs, we have the experts on-site and ready to respond swiftly, which is crucial. In such situations, you need to act quickly without wasting time on what should happen next.

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

We have used a lot of products. Over the past few years, we have been consolidating into a single corporation and replacing other solutions with the corporate mandate of Trend Micro. The reason is for efficiency reasons, among others. By using the same solution across the entire company, we can manage and maintain it centrally, ensuring uniform behavior without having to deal with individual solutions for each part of the organization.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the setup in terms of managing the role and function, but not from a technical standpoint.

My colleagues reported that it is a very well-designed software. We’ve experienced other solutions where we’ve worked on software for a long time, and it didn’t go as smoothly. I haven’t heard any complaints, so the setup must have been good.

We took a risk-based approach to implement this. We started rolling it out in some large manufacturing companies, where the potential damage in case of an incident would be the greatest. From there, we moved to the smaller legal entities, such as just sales offices or similar, so from large to small.

We have a relatively small team in the global function with three people who worked on it. We also have a packaging team and similar resources when it comes to creating installation scripts for end devices.

In terms of maintenance, we have purchased Trend Vision One as part of a SaaS solution. This includes updates and ongoing support, such as the provision of virus signatures, so we don't have dedicated staff specifically for maintenance. We do have designated contacts around the world dedicated to handling alarms and events. This is an additional responsibility for the IT team members after their training, so I can't give you a precise number of people involved. These activities are integrated into the existing IT staff who manage them alongside their regular tasks.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment fundamentally more qualitatively, proportionally, and quantitatively. We haven't done a strict ROI calculation. We know it's in place to counter potential damage, but it's hard to quantify potential damage in an ROI calculation. On the other hand, we had two incidents during the rollout for the global company. Thankfully, we also had cyber security insurance, and the insurance covered the incidents because, through Trend Micro and the implementation of the solution, along with the data it provided, we were able to demonstrate what had happened. Without this, we certainly wouldn’t have received the insurance payout.

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

Of course, we'd prefer for it to be free. Security has its price. Regarding the prices we've experienced, we consider Trend Micro to be competitive. However, we sometimes wish for a higher discount based on more usage as the company grows.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked around at other solutions. When we started evaluating options in 2019, we explored the typical solution portfolios available at the time. We considered several options, and then, based on different factors, we decided on a company operating out of Japan, rather than an extension of an American company. I don't quite remember all the details, but at the time, there was also a Russian solution that was quite popular in the European market, which we decided not to pursue further.

The main differences between these products and Trend Vision One were the functionality and the overall environment. We wanted a truly independent solution. From the perspective of German and European data protection laws, it was a matter of weighing where we could place the most trust and where we would see those principles reflected in the implementation.

What other advice do I have?

My advice would be that one should really take the time to think carefully about what they want and need, and particularly engage in conversations with colleagues to find the right solution. One could say that to perform Deep Discovery Inspector on network traffic, more nodes could be added but at some point, the cost-benefit effect becomes minimal.

We always felt that Trend Micro provided us with very good advice, suggesting that more than three nodes in a global context weren't necessary. Any additional nodes would only slightly improve performance, making it not worthwhile. It's important to listen to the Trend Micro team and communicate openly. What's key is that you have to think about your scenarios and risks in advance—this is something they can't take off your hands. For example, network segmentation, which isn't part of Trend Micro's offering, is a mechanism we also bring in. It's important to work hand in hand, and there needs to be a lot of dialogue at this stage.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Centralized threat visibility has streamlined investigations and now reduces risk significantly

Pros and Cons

"By switching to TrendAI Vision One, I have reduced my risk by approximately eighty percent."

"In TrendAI Vision One, an area that has room for improvement is the DLP policy governance, particularly around data leakage protection."

What is our primary use case?

My use case for TrendAI Vision One is more focused on the XDR.

What is most valuable?

In my opinion, the best features of TrendAI Vision One are the UI itself, which is very user-friendly. I consider that to be the most intricate part about TrendAI Vision One compared to other XDR platforms.

I use the sensors in TrendAI Vision One, and they are critical for our network coverage. They help us considerably because we are using TrendAI Vision One in the corporate environment, where people come and go. The sensors are very helpful because when you want to release the sensor on a laptop that is not used, you can simply release it.

My impressions of TrendAI Vision One's ability to provide centralized visibility and management across protection layers are very interesting because other solutions do not actually provide a centralized platform to view everything. Trend Micro introduced TrendAI Vision One, which allows all that to be in one central console, enabling you to have all features enabled or disabled based on credits.

TrendAI Vision One helps consolidate my use of security vendors and reduces silos. Currently, we are mainly using the XDR function, but we are also looking at the sandboxing feature. It is a good platform because in our environment, the engineering team uses the XDR function while the Digital Forensic & Incident Response team uses the sandboxing analysis functions, allowing two cross-entities to use one platform for their own tools.

What needs improvement?

In TrendAI Vision One, an area that has room for improvement is the DLP policy governance, particularly around data leakage protection. I believe the main focus is currently on thumb drives and external drives, but in older environments, we also use CDs and DVDs for read and write functions.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TrendAI Vision One for approximately eight months in totality.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of TrendAI Vision One as very stable, giving it a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, I would say TrendAI Vision One is a ten out of ten because it is based on credits.

How are customer service and support?

From one to ten, I would rate the technical support that TrendAI Vision One provides as a nine because we are subscribed to premium support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I found the deployment of TrendAI Vision One to be very easy; I was very surprised because we had a seamless migration from Apex One.

It took less than a day to implement TrendAI Vision One; in fact, it was completed in just one day.

What about the implementation team?

In my organization, we have a team of five engineers and close to three hundred endpoints using TrendAI Vision One.

What was our ROI?

I estimate that I have seen approximately fifteen to twenty percent return on investment from using TrendAI Vision One.

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

Regarding the pricing of TrendAI Vision One, I think it is on the costlier side compared to other solutions due to the functions they offer, but in totality, it is cost-efficient.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have tested other vendors for endpoint solutions, including Kaspersky and Symantec.

What other advice do I have?

The top security challenges in my industry include finding people who can operate TrendAI Vision One as an operator, and actually, TrendAI Vision One's user interface is so user-friendly that it takes maybe an experienced cybersecurity engineer about two to three weeks to get used to it.

The solution does not require any maintenance in terms of patching because we are on SaaS; we have a proxy, so there is no maintenance for it.

TrendAI Vision One has reduced my time to detect and respond to threats by approximately forty to fifty percent.

It has reduced noise from false positives by approximately twenty percent, which has saved me a significant amount of time.

By switching to TrendAI Vision One, I have reduced my risk by approximately eighty percent.

I would recommend TrendAI Vision One to other users because it is user-friendly and offers good support. I would rate this review a nine out of ten.

Empowers teams to quickly identify and manage cyber risks through detailed insights and continuous support

Pros and Cons

"Trend Vision One has increased our endpoint visibility and reduced attack vectors, enabling us to identify and respond to vulnerabilities and threats faster, which has reduced our response time by an estimated 25–30%."

What is our primary use case?

We use Trend Vision One as our primary security solution on all endpoints, servers, and clients in our environment. Through third-party integrations, we’ve also connected solutions from other vendors (including VMware and Fortinet).

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Vision One has increased our endpoint visibility and reduced attack vectors. We can now identify and respond to vulnerabilities and threats faster. This has reduced our response time by an estimated 25–30%. Vision One provides notifications about specific risks and helps us understand where the general risks lie, enabling proactive mitigation.

With other vendors, we’ve had to manually check for vulnerabilities in products and assess whether those vulnerabilities were relevant. Now, Vision One handles much of that process. It provides detailed information for each user and endpoint about existing risks and how to mitigate them.

I often compare patching vulnerabilities in Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) to playing a game — the goal is to collect as few points as possible. The lower our score, the more secure our environment is. And like in real life, there are ups and downs because new risks arise daily. Vision One is an important tool for communicating risk assessments to management while also helping operational staff understand what risks mean and how to reduce them.

What is most valuable?

The feature I find most valuable in Vision One is CREM. CREM helps our company identify blind spots. It provides detailed information about the actions and improvements we should take to secure our environment, and gives concrete recommendations about how to resolve vulnerabilities.

As part of our Service One Complete service agreement, we have bi-weekly meetings with a Technical Account Manager (TAM) who advises us on improving security settings and informs us — even between meetings — about new attack scenarios and how to counter them.

What needs improvement?

It’s hard to pinpoint areas where Vision One could be improved or where additional features are needed. I’ve been working with the solution for three years, and Trend Micro is constantly developing. Sometimes, it’s hard to keep track of all the updates and added features.

I feel that Trend Micro is now better at identifying my needs than I am at recognizing them myself.

For how long have I used the solution?

Vision One has been in use at the company for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is excellent. In my opinion, performance and availability are both very good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the solution is very good. We have not encountered any limitations as our environment has grown.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate customer service extremely positively. Support responds quickly, and together we’ve been able to solve all challenges in our day-to-day operations. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate customer service and technical support a 9 — there should always be room for improvement.

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

Before Trend Vision One, we used a solution from Kaspersky. The switch was prompted by the German BSI’s security warning regarding Kaspersky's antivirus products.

How was the initial setup?

I was heavily involved in the rollout and deployment of the solution. Implementation was relatively quick and smooth. We used a deployment script distributed to endpoints through our software distribution system.

Our rollout strategy started with a small number of endpoints being configured with antivirus and policies. After reviewing and refining the policies, Vision One was rolled out in phases to the remaining endpoints.

What about the implementation team?

We needed only one staff member for the implementation of Trend Vision One, and that was me.

What was our ROI?

The investment in Trend Micro Vision One has paid off, although ROI is difficult to calculate. A security solution is like a good insurance policy — ideally, you never need to use it. We haven’t had any incidents so far, and hope it stays that way.

I’ve noticed that the continuous visibility of potential risks has made our environment more secure and has enabled colleagues to respond faster, saving valuable working time.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before we decided on Vision One, we also evaluated solutions from other vendors, including Microsoft and Fortinet. The differences between the products were not significant — they were more in the details. But since we had already been a Trend partner for 15 years (12 of them inactive), we ultimately decided to return to Trend Micro.

What other advice do I have?

Three years ago, we followed a different concept: two independent security solutions with separate management and reporting. Migrating to Vision One and consolidating everything into one interface gave us a 365° view of our IT infrastructure.

Central visibility of endpoints and vulnerabilities, as well asunified management, brought a new level of focus to IT security and boosted employee awareness.

If you're evaluating Trend Micro, don’t limit yourself to antivirus functionalities. Consider other features as well — especially the Managed Services, (strong technical support), and Cyber Risk Exposure Management capabilities, which I find highly valuable.

Create a centralized view of your IT infrastructure.

Define which features are important or necessary for you.

Get a comprehensive overview when evaluating different security vendors in terms of features and costs — so you’re not comparing apples to oranges.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

An integrated platform that simplifies threat and response management

Pros and Cons

"The most valuable feature of Trend Vision One is response management; when there is a malware issue, we need to isolate the endpoint, which I can do through response management. I"
"Trend Vision One is an integrated platform where I can get all the information about all the endpoints, whether it be a server, laptop, or desktop."

"In future releases of Trend Vision One, I would like to see improvements regarding role-based access control, as it is important to ensure that when granting admin access to a person, their visibility is limited to only their respective markets. For example, while creating roles for countries like France, Germany, and Italy, they should only manage their own endpoints to maintain privacy and security."

What is our primary use case?

Our usual use cases for Trend Vision One involve the detection of any kind of threat. We are getting alerts from the workbench on Trend Vision One and we perform threat hunting. If there are false positives, we close them, and in the case of true positives, we take action toward remediation and closure. Predominantly, we use it for threat management.

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Vision One is an integrated platform where I can get all the information about all the endpoints, whether it be a server, laptop, or desktop. Everything is integrated, allowing me to see everything within one console; that is one of the greatest advantages of Trend Vision One.

In terms of centralized visibility and management across protection layers, Trend Vision One provides protection across all attack vectors. It allows us to manage threats in all phases. We can even perform forensics where we can collect suspicious files remotely to submit to Trend Micro.

Trend Vision One helps reduce the time to detect and respond to threats. We get alerts in real-time. We receive notifications as email alerts, as well as alerts in the console. Through the workbench, we can monitor the console 24/7 with real-time information; there is not much delay.

Trend Vision One has helped us reduce noise from false positives, thanks to the SOAR functionality. We are able to configure automatic responses, and in case any false positives are identified, the Vision One console takes care of them automatically. This helps us reduce a lot of false positives.

Trend Vision One has indeed helped consolidate our use of security vendors and reduce silos. We sometimes get threat notifications from other vendor products, such as Microsoft Cloud App Security, which identifies threats, and we can trace similar traffic from the endpoints in Vision One. This correlation adds more value for our clients.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Trend Vision One is response management; when there is a malware issue, we need to isolate the endpoint, which I can do through response management. I can isolate an endpoint, restore the endpoint, and run manual malware scans, which will be very useful when performing malware remediation actions.

What needs improvement?

In future releases of Trend Vision One, I would like to see improvements regarding role-based access control, as it is important to ensure that when granting admin access to a person, their visibility is limited to only their respective markets. For example, while creating roles for countries like France, Germany, and Italy, they should only manage their own endpoints to maintain privacy and security.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Trend Vision One for more than 2 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not encountered any issues with the stability of Trend Vision One. There have been no problems at all.

Stability is critically important for us with Trend Vision One; it is very stable, providing continuous 24/7 support, and we do not face challenges in accessing services from Trend Micro.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Regarding scalability, Trend Vision One accommodates many endpoints without any challenges, allowing easy expansion of our portfolio.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the technical support for Trend Vision One a perfect 10 out of 10, as Trend Micro supported us throughout the transition from on-prem servers or other vendors, providing top-notch service at all times.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Before using Trend Vision One, we were utilizing McAfee, and some of our clients were using Symantec. Currently, most clients have transitioned to Trend Micro.

The decision to switch from McAfee was driven by factors such as high costs and the global presence of organizations. Trend Micro has a more robust global reach and its pricing is very competitive compared to McAfee.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Trend Vision One is not complex; it is straightforward. We had the options in the Trend Vision One console, and we received training from Trend Micro-certified administrators. We had knowledge transfer sessions, and later, we successfully migrated our products from on-prem servers to the cloud.

We have been using the product for more than 7 to 8 years, and we did not face any challenges during this migration.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment with Trend Vision One, primarily in terms of having more confidence in addressing any kind of suspicious activities. Any such activities will be notified to us, allowing us to take action. The return on investment is apparent in managing the endpoints and addressing suspicious activity that might otherwise go unnoticed.

It has saved about 25% to 30% of our time. The risk has been reduced by more than 25% after switching to Trend Vision One.

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

Its price is very decent. It suits our requirements.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did evaluate other options, including Microsoft Sentinel, but ultimately, most vendors choose Trend Vision One.

The factors that led us to choose Trend Vision One over Microsoft or other options include costs, and since we already have Microsoft for other protections (like M365 security protection), we opted for protection with a different vendor, rather than the same vendor.

What other advice do I have?

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

Centralized management and quick threat response improve security posture

Pros and Cons

"While it's not an actual feature of the application, I appreciate the clinics and seminars that Trend provides, as I went to one last year that got me from zero to beginner, and I hope to advance to intermediate with another seminar series this year."
"Trend Vision One helps reduce my mean time to detect and respond to threats as without it, we would be scrambling and confused with not much information to go off of for threat hunting."

"In terms of improving Trend Vision One, it might sound silly, yet it seems notoriously uncooperative with middle clicks and opening sections in new tabs. I'm a big tab browser, and it feels hitting a brick wall when I have to refresh in a new tab or make a copy of a tab to move forward."
"The experience of first using Trend Vision One is really difficult due to the steep learning curve."

What is our primary use case?

My use cases for Trend Vision One are typically reactive, letting it scan and monitor our environment, and we typically respond quickly to any workbenches that come up.

We also try to adapt to the Cyber Risk Index or the security score, keeping that at the lowest amount possible on a weekly or bi-weekly basis as we push out updates and do maintenance.

What is most valuable?

My favorite features in Trend Vision One include the Cyber Risk Index, which breaks down various pieces of info into one easily digestible score. I appreciate the workbenches. They provide a visual of how they operate for the most part, and I value the in-depth details they offer since we can mostly operate off of that, giving us enough info to crunch and figure out what's happening.

While it's not an actual feature of the application, I appreciate the clinics and seminars that Trend provides, as I went to one last year that got me from zero to beginner, and I hope to advance to intermediate with another seminar series this year.

Trend Vision One helps reduce my mean time to detect and respond to threats as without it, we would be scrambling and confused with not much information to go off of for threat hunting. I'm not sure what we were using previously. As long as I've been here, it's been Trend Vision One, and we're very happy with it. We're hesitant to shop around for any other provider since we think it's a very good product, and we appreciate the speed and breadth of data we receive from it.

I sometimes see noise from false positives with Trend Vision One. One clear instance involved the AI deep fake feature, which would throw up false positives whenever someone had a Teams meeting with a blurred background, leading us to turn it off as it activated for every meeting. Additionally, there were minor false positives throughout the year related to Microsoft update files and certain DLLs, however, they don't clutter Trend Vision One much and have essentially gone away in recent months.

I am very happy with Trend Vision One's platform ability to provide centralized visibility and management across protection layers. The platform extends into various categories, offering oversight over email and even flagging suspicious activities that occur on a server, despite not having a Trend Vision One agent on it. For instance, an admin setting up remote access on that server was flagged as suspicious, and I appreciate the reach that Trend Vision One has across different scattered categories it monitors.

What needs improvement?

In terms of improving Trend Vision One, it might sound silly, yet it seems notoriously uncooperative with middle clicks and opening sections in new tabs. I'm a big tab browser, and it feels hitting a brick wall when I have to refresh in a new tab or make a copy of a tab to move forward. If we can enable middle clicks to open sections in new tabs, it would greatly benefit me personally.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Trend Vision One for a few months, approximately eight to ten months at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Regarding stability, I don't think Trend Vision One has ever caused any lagging, crashing, or downtime. There was one situation where we may have misconfigured something, forgetting a checkbox, and Trend Vision One's scheduled scans might have used some CPU resources, however, that's on our end. Besides that, Trend Vision One works exactly as intended and has never hindered our operations, feeling more a collaborator than a roadblock.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't think I've encountered any issues with scalability; we're growing steadily, and I believe Trend Vision One can keep up with our demand. Our company has about 200 employees in Canada, and I can foresee that if we doubled in size, Trend Vision One would accommodate that very easily.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted the technical support before. We're very happy with the technical support from Trend Vision One, feeling we have our own dedicated technician who knows the entire suite of applications. They are very intelligent and responsive, and as we submit feature requests, they seem to make it into the actual list of features in Trend Vision One, so we maintain a good relationship with their technical support and development teams.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

I'm not sure what we were using previously. As long as I've been here, it's been Trend Vision One, and we're very happy with it. We're hesitant to shop around for any other provider as we consider it a very good product.

How was the initial setup?

The experience of first using Trend Vision One is really difficult due to the steep learning curve. Thankfully, I attended a Trend Vision One seminar that got me from zero to beginner, as without that, it involves a lot of guesswork with little grounding to go off of. I really recommend their seminars and tutorials.

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

I do not know much about the pricing of Trend Vision One. My understanding is it's expensive. We pay for it anyway, and there's always sticker shock. Still, we feel it's necessary as this product covers all our needs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We're hesitant to shop around for any other provider. Trend Vision One is a very good product, and we appreciate the speed and breadth of data we receive from it.

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure if I use the cyber risk exposure management capabilities. Trend Vision One requires very little maintenance on my end, mostly just keeping up with refreshing the license, which is about all I hear related to Trend Vision One maintenance.

Some top security challenges in my industry include securing anything exposed to the internet, especially since we were previously hit with ransomware. The ability of Trend Vision One to detect and cut off threats early, clean up files before they execute, and address phishing emails helps us significantly. We also have their email and collaborative security, which is crucial along with having zero-day protections to receive early warnings of threats, allowing us to act immediately outside our maintenance windows.

I'm not completely sure where we use the Trend Vision One sensors, as I didn't set them up. However, we do have a DDI that we paid a lot for, which is one of our biggest data sources and populates much of the information in Trend Vision One. We also have a network sensor at our different location in the United States, which is a temporary holdover until we can upgrade to something more robust.

It's not critical for my company that Trend Vision One has AI built into its platform in terms of needing a language model to explain things, however, AI is actually critical for threat detection and behavioral analysis. That aspect of behavior monitoring and action based on behavior is very important.

Trend Vision One has helped my organization reduce its cyber risk. For instance, even prior to acquiring the DDI, the DDI's presence on our network found a threat actively in progress, and we were able to act on it, demonstrating its effectiveness from day zero.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Trend Vision One a nine overall.
