Its strength lies in its advanced features like intrusion detection and integration capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "This full security posture positions us well for our future security roadmap."
- "Trend Vision One has some usability issues."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Trend Micro Vision One boasts a good detection rate thanks to its data lake analysis and frameworks like MITRE. This helps minimize false positives, ensuring alerts are truly security threats. While no platform is flawless and occasional false positives can occur, Vision One's detection is effective for our use cases.
Trend Micro Vision One doesn't have a separate module for advanced threat protection. Instead, its standard endpoint protection, formerly Apex One, includes features like real-time scanning with advanced telemetry collection to identify and prevent unknown threats. These features go beyond basic signature-based detection and offer advanced actions like specific file quarantine or cleanup thanks to machine learning capabilities.
Trend Micro Vision One uses real-time machine learning to detect ransomware, a critical tool since cybercrime is increasingly focused on extortion. While ransomware isn't new, its prominence in news reports makes it a major concern. However, even though it's widely reported, it may not be the biggest threat. For healthcare organizations especially, protecting patient data from being leaked and sold on the dark web is paramount. This is why using tools like Trend Micro Vision One is crucial.
Trend Micro's Vision One simplifies security management by offering a unified console for threat detection, investigation, and hunting across all security layers. This replaces their previous approach of separate consoles for different products like cloud app security and Cloud One, eliminating the need to switch between consoles for a complete security picture.
While telemetry data offers valuable insights into identity access, endpoint detection, and threat intelligence, doesn't provide complete visibility. There's no access to firewall logs or built-in network access control. However, the platform's strength lies in its advanced features like intrusion detection and integration capabilities, allowing for threat hunting and sharing data with other security solutions.
Vision One uses two methods for endpoint detection. The first is "active update," where devices connect securely using port 443 to the cloud to download the latest signature data every 12 hours, ensuring they have up-to-date protection. This eliminates the need for on-premise signature updates.
Vision One is user-friendly with clear navigation, but its wealth of data can be overwhelming for new users. For example, telemetry can be complex, and some alerts might go unnoticed by inexperienced users who lack the necessary skills to interpret the data effectively. This isn't a flaw of the product itself; it's simply a matter of needing the right training and experience to get the most out of it.
Vision One, while easy to manage, requires significant upfront investment when building a platform from scratch. Configuring agent deployment, servers, and third-party integrations, takes many hours and there's no perfect out-of-the-box solution.
While initially considering Trend Vision One as just a replacement antivirus solution, we realized its extended detection and response capabilities offered more than just basic endpoint protection. XDR allows for collecting telemetry data beyond signatures, enabling us to identify threats like suspicious file activity, lateral movement, and potential command-and-control communications. This provides a more comprehensive security posture compared to traditional antivirus solutions and helps reduce our workloads.
What is most valuable?
Our organization utilizes the full range of Trend Vision One features, excluding tipping points. This includes attack surface risk management, XDR threat investigation, endpoint, cloud, network security, and email protection. This full security posture positions us well for our future security roadmap.
What needs improvement?
Trend Micro Vision One requires significant customization to fit our specific needs, which increases the administrative burden. While the wider data collection offers a broader security net, we don't utilize all its services (e.g., Okta integration). This necessitates manual log ingestion from Azure (e.g., anonymous logins, suspicious tokens) and additional verification using separate tools like Azure for risky sign-in detection and IP vetting, making it a more hands-on security solution.
Trend Vision One has some usability issues. For example, extracting browser history for forensic analysis is cumbersome. The platform parses the history file but then doesn't allow exporting the data, making it difficult to share findings with managers. Additionally, the lack of a Network Security Installer for endpoint agents is surprising, especially considering servers have them. The feature request process, relying on a community voting system within a product portal, seems inefficient. Overall, improvements in data consistency and user-friendliness would be beneficial.

Head of ICT at Sumac Microfinance Bank Ltd
A unified platform for simplified operations and automation
Pros and Cons
- "From an automation point of view, I find the ability to curate and deploy playbooks very helpful. I find that very convenient for us."
- "There should be a bit more dynamism when it comes to their playbooks in terms of the action triggers. That is the only thing that I would want to see a bit more."
What is our primary use case?
Its main purpose is orchestration where I have full visibility into all the different Trend Micro products I use, and it is all centralized in a single dashboard. There is ease of use with this centralized dashboard. With this centralized management, I can dive into technicalities, and I am able to do all my workbench investigations. It is quite clear, and I do not have to sift through different logs. It makes our work so easy when we need to respond to or remediate a particular issue.
The main problem that we wanted to solve by implementing Trend Vision One was the blindspots. We tend to focus on endpoints, but we forget IoT devices such as printers and CCTV cameras. This is where we had serious blind spots simply because these devices do not have an operating system. For us, it was just about eliminating these blind spots. That was our number one focus.
How has it helped my organization?
It has been exceptional. If you look at the evolution of the Trend Micro products up until Vision One, you can see that they do what they say they do. It has worked for me so well. That is why I have had it all these years.
We have protection against zero-day threats. One of the things that pushed me towards Trend Micro was the fact that they have the R&D for the zero-day initiative. They are a pioneer in terms of classifying CVEs. It gives me comfort. When you go and check the workbench or the report, you can see the type of exploits that it was able to detect, which have even been classified as CVEs.
Apart from the things that I do in IT, my responsibility is to protect my company's assets. I am able to safeguard my data against ransomware. The company does not have to worry that they can be held at ransom. The assurance that they do not have to pay just to get their data back makes it easy to sleep at night.
We have a single console for cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigation. We have what we call the executive dashboard. This is what I share with the C-suite. It is quite easy for me to break down cybersecurity in a business way, and then, of course, we have the operational dashboard and the security dashboard where I centralize all the products into one single pane. From an orchestration point of view, I love Trend Vision One. We are able to orchestrate all of our different products from one single dashboard.
Trend Vision One provides visibility into different products. I have a 360-degree view of my entire IT infrastructure, which helps me understand my threat landscape and the way it looks. The beauty of it is that it has metrics. I can see how I am performing as compared to 30 days or 7 days ago in terms of the risk indicator. Is it going up or is it going down? This is important for me because I am able to forecast and anticipate behaviors or patterns from the people perspective and the process perspective. I know what I need to do and train people on, and in terms of processes, I know what I need to do to clean up my policies. In terms of technology, I can assess if there is any other thing of Trend Micro that I need to supplement to make sure I am fully protected.
Our response is instantaneous. I do not have an exact percentile in mind when it comes to the reduction in the response time, but our response is instantaneous.
I have integrated it with my NUC, my firewall, and my database monitoring tool. Trend Micro has a feature for virtual patching through Trend Micro TippingPoint. It instantaneously does the patching and cascades them across. Apart from what we call scheduled patching, on-demand patching is a part of their product features.
Trend Vision One is very easy to learn. This is the second organization where I am using this Trend Micro solution. When I introduced it, my team did not know about Trend Vision One, but within a month, simply with the help of the business portal where we have the e-learning, they were fully skilled and even certified at the entry-level of Trend Micro. Their feedback was that it was quite easy for them to adopt.
Trend Vision One is not at all difficult to administer.
We have seen a reduction in viruses and malware since implementing this solution. They provide you with the metrics for risk posture. You can see the reduction in your threat landscape. It goes granular to the point of telling you which type of malware or threat you are exposed to and the reduction. It is very definitive from a percentile marking. In my previous organization, we saw about a 75% reduction when we rolled it out. We were previously using something else there.
It reduces administrative overhead. I stopped adding additional headcounts from a security analyst and a security officer's point of view. It helps me reduce the overhead. On average, considering the annual wage of a security analyst, there is a reduction of about 7,000 dollars per annum.
I use Trend Micro's managed XDR services in conjunction with Vision One Endpoint Security. It reduces overhead. It is a fully-fledged managed service, so I do not need to have the business invest in an in-house SOC. It is a whole lot cheaper.
What is most valuable?
From an automation point of view, I find the ability to curate and deploy playbooks very helpful. I find that very convenient for us. It gives away the manual process. There is the ease of use.
I love what they have done with their Trend Companion AI, where it becomes so easy to have it do something for you instead of sifting through different tabs. So, the automation element and their new AI feature are top-notch for me.
I find the virtual patching that they offer superb.
What needs improvement?
There should be a bit more dynamism when it comes to their playbooks in terms of the action triggers. That is the only thing that I would want to see a bit more. There should be a bit more dynamism, especially when you are creating your own playbook. This is something I have also discussed with Trend Micro.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Vision One since 2020 when it was rolled out. I have been using Trend Micro products since 2015.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate their support a ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used a plethora of other solutions. I moved to Trend Vision One for multiple reasons:
- The ability to do what the solution says it does
- The ability to orchestrate all different solutions into one single pane
- The ability to have automation when it comes to detecting and responding to threats
How was the initial setup?
It is deployed on the cloud. For me, the deployment was easy. For the endpoints, we just did a GPO push through Active Directory. For the cloud, we used just simple tenancy APIs and we were good to go.
It took us a week simply by virtue of how big the organization was.
In the IT team, there are 10 people working with this solution. We also have other departments such as risk and audit that use it. Overall, there are about 20 people directly working with it. The remaining are users for whom it just works silently in the background.
The maintenance is not done in-house. It is handled 100% by the OEM. They do share notifications, but we as users do not feel it, so whatever maintenance is required is handled 100% by the OEM. That is the beauty of a cloud service. You are not overly bothered by it.
What was our ROI?
In my previous company, over the four years, I believe we had seen about 81% ROI.
There are cost reductions because of the simple fact that I have automation. It means that I do not need to spend a whole lot on headcount for security analysts. From a commercial point of view, it has helped me reduce my operational costs, and then there are also security cost reductions because of the fact that it is automated and it responds in real time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
When I compare it to its peers that can do the same, it is cost-effective.
What other advice do I have?
The evolution has been great. When I started using Trend Micro Vision One, the product feature was what they used to call business worry-free. It has evolved from an EDR to a fully-fledged XDR. You can see that the R&D is putting in work, and there is evolution. In terms of product coverage, they do not look at only endpoint protection. Right now, we have bespoke server protection. We have cloud asset protection and email security. You can see the growth of Trend Micro when it comes to its cybersecurity offering.
Based on my experience, I would recommend this solution. The ease of use, elimination of overhead, and return on investment are the reasons why you should have this solution.
I would rate Trend Vision One a ten out of ten.

Pros and Cons
- "I find the maps particularly helpful. The object list, specifically the suspicious object list, is also quite valuable. You can simply add one object to that list to manage it from another solution."
- "Trend Vision One has helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats by 30% to 40%."
- "I believe that the interface could be more user-friendly. At times, it is challenging to locate certain features, and they need to reorganize the user interfaces."
- "I would rate their customer support a five out of ten. They sometimes do not give enough attention to the tickets."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for analytics. We check all the maps and communications when there is an incident or an issue. It is very helpful for analytics.
How has it helped my organization?
Trend Vision gives a lot of visibility. If you have a big environment, you can use it to see logs or events. It gives more visibility into what is going on in your infrastructure.
Last year, we experienced an attack attempt, and it gave us a lot of visibility. We were able to track the source and all the processes that were involved during the attack. For security, it is very good.
Trend Vision One has helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats by 30% to 40%.
What is most valuable?
I find the maps particularly helpful. The object list, specifically the suspicious object list, is also quite valuable. You can simply add one object to that list to manage it from another solution.
It gives comprehensive visibility. It is very good. It gives a lot of visibility into all layers such as layer three or layer seven. It helps with monitoring the endpoints, including all the desktops and processes or communication between servers.
What needs improvement?
I believe that the interface could be more user-friendly. At times, it is challenging to locate certain features, and they need to reorganize the user interfaces.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for one year.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate their customer support a five out of ten. They sometimes do not give enough attention to the tickets. Even when I update a ticket or a case, they ask the same questions that I have already answered. I explain my problem, and they respond as if not paying enough attention.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used another solution. We observed that Trend is trying to move all the solutions to Vision One. That is why we decided to transition, and it is working very well.
It gives more visibility. The other solution was focused only on the server or endpoint protection. It did not provide any tracks, just the basics. With Vision One, we can see all the information correlated in one place, which I find very helpful.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy. It is not very complicated. Sometimes, the documentation is not updated, but the processes are very intuitive, so it is not that hard.
In terms of the implementation strategy, we first focus on non-critical servers or appliances, and then we move on to critical ones.
It is being used in an enterprise environment at a data center.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation may require two people, depending on the infrastructure and scale. You might need an engineer or an administrator.
For maintenance, there are two people. One person scans and reviews all the information and the other one is from the backup. It requires minimal maintenance.
What was our ROI?
Overall, the visibility and security that it provides are our returns on the investments.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I feel that Vision One is a bit expensive. As for the pricing or licensing, I would rate it a seven out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Vision One an eight out of ten.
