TrendAI Vision One Reviews

We have deployed Trend Micro XDR on all our endpoints. It is deployed as an agent because we are using Trend Micro Apex, the antivirus agent, and the SaaS agent. This means that we receive notifications from XDR for any suspicious activity related to endpoints. For example, if a user connects to a suspicious website, XDR should alert us based on our rules. It can also generate alerts for malicious Windows activities.

In addition to deploying XDR on our endpoints, we have connected Vision One XDR to our Office 365 email platform. This allows XDR to read incoming emails. We can then configure rules to remove emails from mailboxes if they have certain properties or are particularly suspicious.

We have also connected XDR to our Azure platform, which is our user authentication platform. XDR can monitor for risky user sign-ins, such as sign-ins from unusual locations. If it detects any risk, it will notify us.

Finally, we have integrated XDR with a third-party tool to receive indicators of compromise. When we receive an IOC, Vision One will automatically run a check in our environment to see if any endpoints have been compromised. It will also check to see if any emails have been sent from any of the senders in the IOC listing. If it finds any matches, it will notify us.

We can also configure playbooks to automatically take action when XDR detects a threat. For example, we could configure a playbook to force a user to reset their password or isolate an endpoint from the network.

We are using the Trend Micro Vision One XDR agent. This agent component is installed on all of our endpoints, including servers, workstations, desktops, and any other computer elements. Vision One also has an API-based element, which we have connected to our email system, such as Azure.

Before Vision One, we had limited visibility into our security posture. Things were happening all around us, but we couldn't see them. With Vision One, we have centralized visibility and management across all of our protection layers, so we can see and respond to threats quickly and effectively.

I cannot imagine my day-to-day operations without the visibility that Vision One provides. It makes all the difference. No other platform compares to Vision One in terms of simplicity, ease of use, and importance.

Vision One has improved our efficiency with centralized visibility. Before Vision One, we had to go to different platforms and tools in our environment. Sometimes the information was missing and sometimes we were searching with the wrong terms. But because I can now see everything at once, it has helped. The decision we are making now is simply to go there, and whatever we have been faced with, the console is enough to make a decision.

We just signed a contract for Managed XDR services. We were managing our security before, but we'll start using their managed services next year. We've received a few escalations from them already, but that's because they're proactively searching for threats, which is a good thing. For example, I got an escalation from them last week for something that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. It wasn't something that the tool would have generated an alert for either, because it was very similar to what a user would normally do. But they were able to find it because they're looking into all of the addresses that they have. This led to us being able to control incidents that would have happened otherwise.

The XDR service has saved us time, enabling us to work on other tasks. The environment is quite complex, so before we had XDR, we didn't have any tool that considered all possibilities or provided any visibility into our environment. When we first started using the tool, it was new to us, but after a couple of years of using it, we've found that it is a legitimate tool that provides valuable information. Instead of seeing it as adding more work to our workload, we see it as helping us to be more proactive and prevent future incidents. For me, it has been a great help and has added real value to our work.

XDR helped us reduce our time to detect and respond to threats. With a single click, I can isolate a computer from the rest of the compliant environment. I had to do this last week when I had to support two escalated computers. Without XDR, there would be hundreds of things that we would not have seen or known about. But with XDR, we can see everything. And that even includes coverage of devices or computers that are not owned by us, such as those used by vendors. If a vendor brings a malicious device onto the property and downloads something malicious, we can detect it as early as possible.

Trend Micro XDR has helped us reduce the time we spend investigating false positive alerts. I am 100 percent confident that everything that comes out of the platform is legitimate. We had a few false positives when we first started using the solution, but because Trend Micro allows us to whitelist specific items, we were able to build our policy accordingly. Sometimes, there are malicious items that we need to allow because of our environment, such as certain security tools. Trend Micro allows us to build a policy that excludes these items from alerts, so we no longer receive alerts for them.

We use the XDR automation capabilities extensively, including playbook automation for tasks like isolating computers, and API-based automation for most other tasks. For example, we are a member of the retail ISAC information-sharing platform, and we have automated scripts from that platform that pull in all malicious senders, IPs, and domains, and pool them into XDR. XDR then automatically scans all computers to see if any of these malicious entities exist. If they do, XDR generates an alert and allows us to take action, such as removing the file. We generally set XDR to allow only, so that we have visibility into all malicious activity, even if we don't take action on it.

I would like to have the capability to export the information we receive from the XDR into Microsoft Excel.

I have been using Trend Micro XDR for almost four years.

Trend Micro XDR is stable. We have not experienced any stability issues when using the console. 

I do not have access to the backend, so I am not aware of the specific technical details. However, from an end-user perspective, the scalability of the system appears to be excellent.

I reach out to technical support almost every week to address any questions I have. I also have a bi-weekly meeting with their technical team. They guide open tickets and address any concerns we may have. Additionally, we have a monthly meeting with Vision One developers where they discuss upcoming features and seek input. I know exactly who to contact for any assistance I may need. Sometimes, I can simply email them directly instead of opening a ticket. The process is always straightforward and efficient. At times, the prompt responses make me wonder if they are using AI assistance, but I hope that's acceptable. I usually receive a response within a minute or two, which suggests AI involvement. However, the signature at the end of the IT person's email confirms that an actual person is handling my request.

We had Carbon Black, but we're using it only for application control. With Trend Micro XDR we can detect and respond.

The initial deployment was straightforward. I have extensive experience in deployments across various companies and platforms. However, Trend Micro XDR surpassed all my expectations. We had previously deployed on-premises, and all we had to do was access the designated console and click a button to migrate all on-premises agents to cloud agents. It was incredibly easy. My team of two and I handled the entire process without any involvement from the teams and properties. I right-clicked and moved everything over. A few agents remained unmovable due to their outdated versions, but we successfully migrated close to 99 percent of all agents.

The implementation was completed in-house. Trend Micro provided a document link to help with the deployment.

Trend Micro XDR is reasonably priced for its value, comparable to other products like VMware Carbon Black.

We evaluated an additional option with Carbon Black because we already had that agent in our environment. We also considered Cisco, which has its own XDR platform.

I would rate Trend Micro XDR ten out of ten.

We tried to use the risk index feature, but I didn't have the resources to focus on it at the time. I was more focused on the actual findings that were happening. I have since hired someone who will focus on the risk index, as the primary reason I hired them is to focus on the risk element coming from Vision One, as well as from other third-party intelligence platforms that we work with or have contracts with. Now that I have someone here, we will be focusing on the risk index.

No maintenance is required.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Trend Vision One since 2020 when it was rolled out. I have been using Trend Micro products since 2015.

It is stable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.

Its very scalable. in our case we had on prem servers and services, when we migrated to cloud the transition was seamless asi t easily adopted to our cloud native deployments using automated infrastructure hooks, and centralised multi-tenant controls

I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

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

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.

Yes we used a reseller for the deployment. Comztech Kenya.

Comztech are very efficient, timely and professional in their approach and not only during deployment but also for their post go live check ups.

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.

I found the pricing quite reasonable more specifically cause its packaged as a bundle service. The setup cost was quite reasonable and considering its offered as Saas and lastly the licensing model is quite straight forward to understand with no hidden print.

i evaluated Darktrace as well before choosing Trend Vision One.

Trend as a broader ecosystem than Darktrace as it bundles multiple attack surfaces directly into a base tier rather than separate modules as Darktrace does.

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 nine out of ten.

I use Trend Vision One for banking, retail, and government clients. We sell it with other technologies. It provides more sources for alerts and visibility into threats and vulnerabilities. We have all Trend Micro's modules, including full asset protection, EPS, IDS, endpoint protection, and email security.

Vision One has reduced our detection time by approximately 30 percent, enabling us to use our human resources more effectively. The solution has allowed us to consolidate 90 percent of security tools across hybrid environments, improving our operational efficiency. We've reduced our administration and management tasks by half.  Vision One has also decreased our risk.

The most critical feature of Vision One is that it gives us a single console for threat management. The organizational view simplifies management and improves visibility, helping us identify areas for action. The solution is intuitive and easy to manage. 

The solution's ransomware protection with runtime machine-learning capabilities gives us peace of mind. We also get total protection and fewer false positives than in other solutions we sell. Vision One integrates well with our other security products.

Vision One could improve its area networking and email security.

I have been using the solution for around three years.

Trend Vision One is stable.

Positive

We have not previously used a tool like Trend Vision One, but we have used individual tools for various functions, such as EDR and EPS. For example, we used Vicarius and Ivanti for virtual patching and other tools by Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Sophos, and Kaspersky. Trend Micro consolidates all these features into one platform, so that's one advantage it offers. 

Setting up Vision One was straightforward. 

I rate Trend Vision One nine out of 10. 

We utilize Trend Vision One to identify and neutralize malicious activities on our network. This comprehensive security solution extends beyond traditional antivirus software, which relies on pattern matching, by actively monitoring endpoint behavior for anomalies and deviations from established norms.

In 2020, we transitioned to remote work like many other companies. During this transition, we conducted an internal Trend Micro office scan, which revealed that many of our users' devices were out of date due to their inability to connect to the VPN for extended periods. This prompted us to switch to Apex One later that year. As part of the Apex One implementation, we were given a complimentary trial of Vision One. During this trial, we received an alert that demonstrated the product's effectiveness, leading us to purchase a subscription. Vision One has been an excellent addition to our security arsenal. Trend Micro continuously adds new features and updates, making it an ever-evolving and valuable tool. The product's capabilities, functionality, and incident response capabilities have improved significantly over the past several years. We can set up playbooks to automate our response to specific incidents, which is a tremendous asset. Vision One is an outstanding security solution.

We are a state government agency that is subject to oversight by the state. Vision One has detected attempted attacks that the state SOC has missed, enabling us to swiftly halt these attacks and address the vulnerabilities before they escalate into more widespread problems.

The integrations have been great. There have been a couple of issues, but overall they've been very helpful. Vision One recently added the ability to connect to our on-premises AD. This was a sticking point for us for a year or so because we didn't have Azure. So we were stuck in a situation where we couldn't tie Vision One to our AD. But since they added the on-premises integration, it's been easy to set up.

Trend Vision One has saved us ten percent of our time. It has eliminated the need for us to rebuild machines. It has helped us even more than that because the few times we have had a threat, it has stopped it in its tracks. This has prevented the threat from spreading and compromising multiple machines. Without Trend Vision One, we would have had to investigate the threat, which would have taken time and resources. Additionally, we would have had to rebuild the compromised machines, which would have taken them offline and impacted our users. In some cases, a widespread outbreak could have occurred, causing even more disruption.

The dashboard provides great visibility into our risk profile. We receive a daily email report that outlines our risk score and identifies the machines with the highest risk. This information is based on usage patterns, vulnerabilities, and non-compliance issues. This helps us prioritize which machines require patching or further investigation.

Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit. While we don't track specific website URLs, we can categorize website types and identify any potentially risky or inappropriate usage patterns. This allows us to proactively address any potential security concerns.

For instance, we identified a user who was using ChatGPT for work-related tasks. This flagged our system, and we were able to discuss the user's usage of ChatGPT to gain a better understanding of how our users are working and identify any areas that require additional attention.

Trend Vision One offers training sessions every few weeks or every month to showcase new features. However, the product's rapid development and the introduction of numerous new features make it challenging to keep track of the evolving interface and maintain a consistent understanding of its usability. While the continuous addition of features is commendable, the sheer volume of changes makes it difficult to stay abreast of the latest developments.

I have been using Trend Vision One for two years.

Trend Vision One has proven to be extremely stable in our environment. We have deployed the Trend Micro client across all workstations. Additionally, we utilize a tool for vulnerability scanning, one for application whitelisting, and FireEye, as mandated by state regulations. These security solutions coexist harmoniously, causing no compatibility issues. We have also implemented laptop encryption and other security measures to further enhance protection. Throughout our experience, Trend Micro has not caused any conflicts with Microsoft or our other security tools.

Trend Vision One is scalable. We can add another 150 machines with no problems.

The technical support is excellent. We experienced what we initially thought was a technical issue, but it turned out to be a state update that triggered alerts across all of our machines. I contacted the support team and our sales representative. Within an hour, the incident response team was on the phone with me, examining the file hashes of the updated DLL to determine the cause of the issue. They quickly identified that the update was not malicious. Their promptness and thoroughness were outstanding. The incident was resolved within three hours of receiving the alerts.

Positive

We lacked an XDR tool. Instead, we relied on FireEye, which offers similar capabilities, but it doesn't provide us with the same level of visibility as Vision One. Vision One has consistently detected threats that FireEye missed. While we were mandated to use FireEye by state regulations, we sought a more robust solution that could effectively identify anomalies and patterns. Vision One's utilization of the MITRE ATT&CK framework has been particularly advantageous. We've found great value in Vision One's comprehensive feature set, particularly its well-designed playbooks.

The initial deployment was straightforward. I was able to deploy Trend Vision One with the vendor's assistance within one week.

The vendor guided us through the implementation process and continues to conduct periodic check-ins to verify that everything continues to function effectively in accordance with industry best practices.

Our return on investment does not stem from direct cost savings but from the fact that Vision One has mitigated issues before they escalated into larger problems. This has saved us time, which is a valuable asset.

The pricing for Trend Vision One is reasonable. I am not sure of the exact amount we pay, but it is not excessively expensive.

I would give Trend Vision One a perfect score of ten out of ten. It is undoubtedly the best product in the market today. While I appreciate CrowdStrike and its offerings, I believe Trend Vision One stands out as the leader. In my opinion, these two products are the clear frontrunners in the XDR space at this moment.

Trend Vision One is deployed at a single location. We have approximately 50 endpoints. Most of our devices are laptops because we have a large number of employees who travel frequently.

Trend Vision One is maintenance-free, which is convenient because patching is handled seamlessly from the backend in the cloud. Trend Micro proactively notifies users about upcoming patching schedules and provides detailed information about the patches, new features, and updates. The patching process is managed entirely by Trend Micro, eliminating the need for user intervention. A client installed on the machines receives updates from the cloud server, ensuring that all devices remain protected and up-to-date without any manual effort.

I highly recommend Trend Vision One. Contact Trend Micro and they'll be happy to schedule a demo. I suggest installing the demo, testing it out, and seeing if it's a good fit for the organization's needs before purchasing. Trend Vision One is worthwhile.

We use Vision One XDR to provide managed security services to our clients by correlating logs from various Trend Micro products like Apex One, Cloud One, and Deep Security. Vision One acts as a central monitoring platform, providing a single pane of glass view of our clients' security posture. This simplifies monitoring and allows us to easily create playbooks and analyze alerts. While our EDR solutions, Apex One, Cloud One, and Deep Security provide robust security features like anti-malware, web reputation, and intrusion prevention, Vision One enhances this by correlating logs and leveraging threat intelligence to identify incidents missed by these individual products. Essentially, Vision One functions like a level three SOC analyst, providing an additional layer of protection and ensuring comprehensive security coverage.

Trend Vision One's centralized visibility and management are crucial for our managed security services because they reduce the overhead required for monitoring. As an XDR solution, it performs many of the tasks an analyst would typically handle, streamlining our workflow and allowing us to focus on in-depth analysis when needed. This reduction in workload is a significant benefit, enabling us to efficiently provide comprehensive security services to our clients.

The executive dashboard is a valuable tool for analyzing the threat level of specific assets, particularly for generating end-of-month reports that detail threat and alert volumes, and highlight high-security risks. This comprehensive analysis helps customers understand their security posture and take appropriate action to strengthen their defenses. However, it's important to note that the dashboard's usefulness may vary depending on the individual customer's needs and priorities.

The risk index is a useful tool that provides benefits, but its value depends on the specific needs of the customer. Some customers may utilize the risk index to identify assets with high-security risks, allowing them to address vulnerabilities and implement necessary patching. However, other customers may rely on alternative sources for vulnerability visibility and, therefore, may not prioritize the risk index. While not always a primary focus, the risk index remains a valuable resource.

Trend Vision One provides immediate benefits upon deployment. Its built-in XDR, which includes EDR functionality and integrates with existing security models like Apex One, Cloud One, or Workload Security, allows for seamless provisioning of endpoints and workloads. Rigorous testing confirms that Vision One effectively identifies and correlates alerts, including those missed by other EDR solutions. This enhanced detection capability is evident during post-deployment testing, as Vision One Workbench alerts are generated immediately.

We use Trend Vision One to consolidate security across hybrid environments.

We use attack surface risk management and often customize it in our reports to meet client needs. This service helps identify vulnerabilities and blind spots in their environments. For instance, we assisted a customer experiencing recurring attacks due to unknown vulnerabilities. Our attack surface management analysis provided the data to identify and patch these critical vulnerabilities, ultimately enhancing their security posture.

Vision One XDR significantly reduces threat detection and response time by automating the analysis typically done by a level two or three analyst. It provides a comprehensive view of the environment, incorporating behavioral analysis and intelligence sources to quickly identify unusual activity. This eliminates the need for manual investigation of logs and data, allowing analysts to focus on addressing actual threats. The XDR's automated workbench triggers alerts with a high degree of accuracy, minimizing false positives and further streamlining the security process.

We use security playbooks for certain low-level security alerts because many of these alerts, despite the large volume of data they represent, do not require significant time or attention. Playbooks are particularly useful in these situations as they automate the process of blocking the source or IP address associated with the alert.

Vision One offers several features I value. 

The threat intelligence sources enable it to automatically block domains known for command-and-control callbacks, effectively preventing attacks from those sources. 

Additionally, the security playbooks provide templates to block URLs or scripts, enhancing endpoint protection. 

Finally, the console allows for remote connection to endpoints, enabling direct investigation and remediation within the customer's environment. This flexibility and comprehensive functionality make Vision One a valuable tool.

Trend Micro is making many improvements, including addressing some of our feature requests. However, their reporting functionality needs improvement. The reports lack detail and customization options, particularly for XDR, which hinders our ability to provide tailored reports to clients. For example, we cannot generate reports on threat intelligence data from XDR, making it difficult to assess the protection received from external sources. This limitation also prevents clients from seeing the total value of XDR, including external factors contributing to their security posture. Threat intelligence is crucial, and clients want to understand its impact. Therefore, enhancing report customization, especially for XDR, would be a significant improvement.

I have been using Trend Vision One XDR for one and a half years.

Lagging does happen in Trend Vision One but it is infrequent and does not significantly disrupt operations. This is typical for many SaaS platforms and not a major issue.

Trend Vision One is scalable, allowing for flexibility from four licenses to a hundred or more, depending on how much or how fast scaling is needed.

The experience with customer service can vary depending on the case. Simple issues might involve referring to KB articles for resolution, while more complex issues might need backend support, which can take time. Overall, my experience has been positive.

Neutral

Trend Vision One is easy to set up and can potentially be handled by one person. However, teamwork is preferred to ensure accuracy, catch potential errors, and maintain a high standard of service.

Trend Micro's licensing is outsourced to third-party vendors, resulting in price variations depending on the vendor. Since Trend Micro doesn't directly handle pricing, I cannot provide specific cost details.

Trend Vision One XDR is an excellent security product that deserves a ten out of ten rating. It's surprising that more companies haven't adopted XDR, given its advantages over traditional SIEM solutions. XDR automates tasks like configuration, signature creation, and rule implementation, significantly reducing the manual workload required with SIEM. While I expect a shift towards XDR, many companies still rely on SIEM, which seems inefficient in comparison.

Vision One access supports multiple modules, including endpoint protection, the XDR module, and the Cloud One module, which are the ones that particularly caught our interest.

We have been doing a proof of concept for Trend Vision One to assess its capabilities as a cybersecurity solution. Vodafone is partnering with Trend Micro to offer security services and products to our customers to secure their environments, similar to a SaaS solution. We are exploring it as a partnership opportunity to provide enhanced security solutions to our customers.

We conducted a POC and tested multiple use cases by downloading malicious files and observing their behavior. Trend Vision One successfully detected and blocked all threats, including malicious files, scripts, and even dormant scripts that later became active. All these threats were stopped at the endpoint level, demonstrating that Trend Vision One effectively defends against malware, ransomware, and malicious scripts.

Trend Vision One incorporates a machine learning agent designed to defend against advanced threats, such as zero-day attacks. This agent monitors endpoints for malicious activity and, if detected, automatically quarantines the affected machine to conduct further analysis.

It employs machine learning to quarantine devices during ransomware attacks, however, this functionality has not yet been tested.

Trend Vision One provides a single console with a unified dashboard that consolidates information from our entire environment.

The single console provides end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment. We tested the endpoint security, and the SDR performed exceptionally well, providing a clear topology and metrics of our environment. This allows us to monitor the status of each node within our network.

The Trend Vision One platform was integrated with a Linux-based Service Engine to facilitate integration with third-party IT security solutions.

Learning to use Trend Vision One was straightforward, thanks to the helpful courses available on their portal and the excellent support provided during product introduction.

Administering Vision One endpoint security is easy through the single console.

We successfully tested Trend Vision One in a hybrid environment, with components deployed both on-premises and in the cloud.

Trend Vision One offers virtual patching to protect against vulnerabilities while vendors develop permanent patches. This is crucial because vendor patches can be delayed, leaving systems exposed. Virtual patching provides immediate protection, acting as a temporary shield until the official fix is released.

Since we are still in the testing phase, we have not yet seen a reduction in viruses or malware. However, we anticipate potential improvements in security operations across hybrid environments if implemented fully.

Trend Vision One's greatest assets are its cloud-based platform and credit-based purchasing system, which eliminate the need for traditional licensing and procurement processes, enabling quick product acquisition within one or two days. Trend Micro's strong reputation and excellent threat intelligence further enhance the platform's value. The analytics are also good, particularly the XDR and cloud assessment tools, which correlate logs and information to consolidate alerts for the SOC team.

One area that requires improvement is the installation process of the agents, as it is not seamless. The installation sometimes requires multiple troubleshooting steps and is not straightforward.

We have been conducting the POC of Trend Vision One for approximately three to four months.

There were no major issues with stability, no bugs, glitches, or errors, except for the challenges faced with agent installation. I rate the stability of Trend Vision One eight out of ten.

I rate the scalability of Trend Vision One ten out of ten.

We did not engage with customer support during the POC phase, so we cannot provide feedback on that aspect at this time.

Positive

For endpoint protection, we have used Microsoft Defender and Cortex XDR. We encountered issues with those solutions, but Trend Vision One seemed to address these concerns effectively.

The initial setup was not complex. The prerequisites were set first, allowing integration to be completed in about a week.

The pricing is mid-range, neither cheap nor overly expensive. The cost is considered fairly priced.

I would rate Trend Vision One nine out of ten.

Our team from our organization includes three members involved in the POC testing.

I recommend Trend Vision One to other users based on our experience during the POC phase.

Trend Vision One functions as our XDR solution. I spend considerable time within it conducting reconnaissance on any security incidents requiring investigation. This tool allows me to quickly search for information that might be difficult to locate using our other tools.

We implemented Trend Vision One to improve our security posture by creating multiple layers of protection. This tool addresses security gaps our existing solutions, like Defender, may miss, providing deeper insights into potential threats.

We have implemented the product on both our cloud environment and endpoints. While we utilize a different Trend product for email, we also leverage Trend for this purpose. Trend's complete coverage is invaluable, as it centralizes data that would otherwise be difficult to locate, and its robust search function has been instrumental in our decision to continue using the platform. Although our organization is always exploring alternatives, the all-in-one nature of this solution has proven highly effective for our needs.

Vision One offers centralized oversight and control across our protective layers. It provides valuable insights into our various Trend applications, though its visibility into other layers is understandably limited. This limitation isn't a concern at this time.

Vision One has significantly improved our efficiency. For example, we recently faced a critical situation where a rule change on a client-server posed a potential security breach. Using Vision One, we quickly identified the employee responsible for the shift and resolved the incident without an extensive investigation. This would have been highly challenging without the tool, as determining the culprit would have been much more difficult.

We've been using the risk index feature to try to chip away at the risks within the environment and identify the vulnerabilities that need to be prioritized because that's been one area that has been more invisible to us with the other tools.

Vision One offers a valuable new perspective on our risk profile. While we receive reports from other tools like Nexus IQ, Vision One's unique risk classification and ranking system allows us to prioritize issues differently. This enables more informed decision-making as we can identify risks that other tools might underestimate. We've fully leveraged Vision One's benefits since our team's formation over two years ago. Though the tool existed previously, its impact was limited due to the absence of a dedicated team focused on its utilization.

It's able to detect things that other tools don't detect. We use a layered approach, so those tools have found stuff it hasn't detected. But that's to be expected. That's the goal of using the layered approach to it. But it's helpful because it catches things we might have been unaware of. Additionally, it might rank things differently than the other tools, and that's the same for this piece. And that can be very helpful for us to catch things we might have otherwise missed because it gives us that extra detail.

Trend Micro XDR has significantly reduced the time needed to detect and respond to threats. It offers capabilities that other security solutions lack, enabling us to address challenges innovatively. Additionally, built-in features such as insights and endpoint protection provide valuable tools that enhance our security posture compared to other systems.

Despite having a fifteen-year career in cybersecurity, I joined this role with limited hands-on experience. However, I quickly became proficient with Trend Vision One through self-directed learning, and my team soon recognized my expertise in the tool, making it a positive experience overall.

The Workbench feature is fantastic. It is so helpful to have something that pulls all the data into one visual representation of the events.

Vision One generates numerous false positives, forcing unnecessary investigations and highlighting a need for improved filtering options. A recurring false positive in our environment cannot be safely filtered, preventing us from ignoring it without risking overlooking genuine threats. This issue arises from a script that renames computers, which behaves suspiciously like malware but lacks a unique identifier within Trend for precise filtering. We cannot exclude the entire script due to potential exploitation by attackers who could embed malicious code within it, bypassing our security measures. While this scenario requires a targeted attack, the sensitive nature of our client's data, including threats from nation-state actors, necessitates a cautious approach to avoid compromising our security posture.

We want the ability to download and inspect emails from clients' mailboxes. Microsoft's platform supports this functionality, and we possess the necessary license. However, some clients lack the required license, prompting us to recommend Trend. If we could directly access and inspect client emails, it would eliminate the need to sell additional licenses to those clients, streamlining the process.

I have been using Trend Vision One for over two years.

Trend Vision One is stable.

As we've added employees and removed employees and added servers and removed servers, I haven't had to think about the scalability of Vision One. It has been very smooth.

We had a script that was not right and kept triggering false positives. I had reached out for help with that. The help I got took a lot of time to get responses. And in the end, they closed out the ticket I had opened without resolving it. I also found the communication experience to be rather frustrating. My biggest complaint about my experience with Trend has been the support. There's a lot of good to be said, but there's room for improvement in the support. The people were very polite, so I'm not giving them a five because that goes a long way for me. Having support that is snippy makes the experience significantly worse. So, I am grateful for that part.

Neutral

We used a Microsoft XDR in conjunction with Trend Vision One. The main pros for Vision One are that the interface is typically a lot easier and a lot less confusing. 

The overall experience of the interface is a lot more positive. The details I can pull out of Trend are much better than I can typically pull out from Microsoft. I'm able to get results that Microsoft doesn't seem to gather. The cons are that it's in such flux right now because they're moving all their other products into the Vision One console, which can sometimes make it a bit confusing. 

It can also mean that we're unable to access the tools we previously did as rapidly. For example, many of the Apex One stuff is now within Vision One. So we had to relearn how to do that, which cost us time during security incidents. And Microsoft does change things, but they typically change things by adding extra bloat. So that ends up being a con for Trend compared to Microsoft.

While I cannot confirm the specific return on investment for Vision One without firsthand data, I expect it to be positive, given our organization's tendency to quickly discontinue partnerships that fail to deliver value.

I would rate Trend Vision One eight out of ten. There is room for improvement, but with the tools I've used, Vision One is one of the better.

I don't do much regarding the maintenance of Trend Vision One, but I also know that because I get emails about stuff that goes down, it's relatively low maintenance compared to other tools.

We have Trend Vision One deployed across multiple locations internationally. Because the number fluctuates, we have roughly 1,500 to 2,000 users at any given time. Three people on our network team use Vision One. We have also used Trend products, other than Vision One, for a couple of our clients, which would expand those numbers significantly.

My experience with Trend Vision One has taught me many valuable details, and I strongly recommend that new users carefully review the provided documentation.

Its real-time analysis has impacted our security incident response time. We use the Workbench console and dashboards. We are normally able to analyze an incident in a few hours, understand what is going on, and provide a specific solution for any type of incident.

A few days ago, a user opened something with malware on their machine. In a few seconds, I received an email, and I received a pop-up in the console. To mitigate this, we removed the machine from the network and checked it.

In terms of integration, we intend to integrate more solutions with Trend Micro, but so far, we have just integrated the firewall.

Telemetry is very useful. They provide all the information. I can see specific details about any malware and various types of attacks. I can prevent my environment from different types of attacks based on what I see in the Vision One console.

Log inspection is also very useful for me. We check the logs all the time. In certain cases, it is necessary to analyze with more detail. It is very useful to understand what is going on in my environment with log inspection.

It is very expensive. 

I have been using this solution for ten years.

We do not have any problems with the stability of this solution.

It scales well. We do not have any problems with scalability.

At the moment, we do not have any plans to increase its usage.

Their technical support is good. They take some time to give me the answers, but in the end, they fix and solve all my problems. I would rate their support a nine out of ten.

Positive

We were not using any other solution previously. We have been using Trend Micro's solutions from the beginning of our operations in Brazil.

It is a SaaS solution. Its initial setup is not complex. It is very easy to deploy. It is not complicated. It is very user-friendly. It took around 15 days.

In terms of implementation strategy, we prepared some test machines and servers. After that, we deployed it for the entire company.

They do the maintenance, but we do not have any downtime in this maintenance mode.

We had a Brazilian reseller.

We have not seen an ROI.

Trend Micro's cost is higher than other solutions. That is the main reason why we need to switch to another solution.

We are using a full license that provides different types of features, but CrowdStrike does not provide some of the features such as MDM or anti-spam. We do not have these options or features with CrowdStrike. If we switch to CrowdStrike, we would have to buy other solutions to have a complete solution.

In addition to the license, there are no extra costs.

Its cost is high for us, so we are checking other options and other companies to provide the same solution. We are evaluating CrowdStrike, Trellix, McAfee, and Sophos. We have not yet received the quotation, but their cost is lower than Trend Micro.

Trend Vision One is very useful. It has many functionalities and integrations. Its integration with other products is growing. In the future, it will probably be the biggest console in the world.

Trend Micro is making some changes to the console. At the moment, it is a little bit confusing for our use case because we are using three or four consoles from Trend Micro. We intend to migrate to just one, which is the Vision One console, but at the moment, we are using the Apex One console for the workstations and the Cloud One console for the servers. I do not know if the integration is complicated for Trend Micro, but at this moment, it is not so easy for me to manage all devices.

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

We use Trend Vision One for our endpoint detection and antivirus solution.

The endpoint agents are deployed locally on our computers and the centralized controller is in the cloud.

Trend Vision One's centralized view boosts our visibility into harmful malware, viruses, and ransomware. Before Trend Vision One it was impossible to protect against attacks but the centralized management now makes it easy for us to focus on one platform.

The centralized visibility and management across protection layers have improved our efficiency. Now we have multiple tools to monitor our computers across our enterprise.

The executive dashboard is important because it allows us to dive into advanced functions.

I use the risk index feature daily and report the information weekly. This helps us address the risk factors.

Ransomware and intrusion attacks are common these days and Trend Vision One has helped us protect our devices and prevent these types of attacks.

The attack surface risk management eliminates blind spots.

Trend Micro XDR helps decrease our time to detect and respond because everything is available in one dashboard eliminating the need to use multiple dashboards and look at multiple locations.

Trend Vision One has saved us 80 percent of our time by constantly monitoring our environment and reducing our investigation time.

The automatic EDR system that notifies us when something is wrong is valuable.

The information captured by Trend Vision One needs to be more detailed.

I have been using Trend Vision One for two years.

Trend Vision One is stable and I would rate it ten out of ten.

Trend Vision One is scalable.

The technical support is good but 20 percent of the time the response is slow or they assume our issue is solved so they stop communicating with me.

Positive

The initial deployment is straightforward. We run the program and it deploys automatically.

We used a reseller for the implementation.

We have seen a return on investment.

The price for Trend Vision One is reasonable compared to Microsoft and Symantec.

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

We have Trend Vision One deployed across 250 endpoints.

Minimal maintenance is required.

I recommend Trend Vision One because it is easy to deploy and includes rich content. 

We use Trend Micro XDR for rapid response to end-user computing and security concerns.

As a health system, one of our core challenges is ensuring full visibility into our attack surface. We have many thousands of endpoints and end users that must be properly secured and protected. Our primary use case was to improve visibility, and response time, and reduce complexity. That is why we chose Trend Micro XDR.

Trend Micro XDR is deployed on Trend Micro's private cloud.

We are using Trend Micro XDR on our endpoint and server infrastructure. The coverage is extremely important to our organization.

Trend Micro XDR provides us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers.

The centralized visibility and management across protection layers have helped our efficiency. The most significant advantage is that we used to manage these platforms with three or even five engineers, and now we're managing them with one.

It is extremely important to us that we can drill down from the executive dashboards into XDR detections. This provides us with the single pane of glass view that I mentioned previously. Being able to see at a high level that there may be systems that are behind on patch levels or need additional service or support, and then being able to drill down specifically to an individual machine, which may be unique in our environment, is very helpful.

We use the risk index to evaluate ourselves holistically, including our performance against best practices and security, as well as our performance against other healthcare systems around the world. This allows us to identify areas where we may have vulnerabilities or where we are particularly strong so that we can focus on improving in the areas where we need to.

Trend Micro XDR has helped us improve our resource utilization through automation, reducing manual effort and enabling faster response times. In under a week, we had tuned our environment to perform optimally.

Trend Micro's Managed XDR service has significantly reduced our team's workload by nearly 50 percent, providing a big improvement in our overall threat intelligence and endpoint security.

The Managed XDR service has enabled our team to work on other tasks. This additional availability for our staff has allowed us to reduce our need for contractors. If we are overburdened, we will hire contractors to assist in other areas of the business. However, because we have become more efficient, I have been able to hire some of those contractors and reduce the burden of contract labor.

Attack surface work management capabilities have been extremely valuable. The user and identity services provided by CREM help us to focus on and improve visibility into end-user behavior, including that of endpoints such as laptops and desktops, the network, cloud infrastructure, and applications.

The ability to detect our blind spots has significantly improved our security posture. Seeing everything clearly in a single, easy-to-understand dashboard allows us to allocate our resources directly to where they are needed most, enabling us to respond faster.

The biggest advantage of Trend Micro XDR is that it has helped decrease our time to detect and respond to threats by around 50 percent.

Trend Micro XDR has helped reduce the amount of time we spend investigating false positive alerts by 60 percent.

Trend Micro XDRs automation capabilities save us around ten hours per week. 

We are very impressed with the single pane of glass visibility that Trend Micro XDR provides. It allows us to work from a single console instead of having to use four or five separate tools to maintain the same level of security. This is extremely helpful.

The manageability and artificial intelligence built into Trend Micro XDR are extremely helpful.

I've seen a lot of improvement in just the year that we've been with Trend Micro. However, I think that continued optimization of the environment towards automation and orchestration, a kind of layer that sits underneath all of the technologies, would be extremely important. When we look at the speed and sophistication of attacks today, such as ransomware, malware, and cyber threats, we need tools and technologies that can react faster. So, I think integration with automation, orchestration, and artificial intelligence will help tremendously.

I have been using Trend Micro XDR for one year.

Trend Micro XDR is remarkably stable.

Considering our growth rate of nearly 30 percent per year, Trend Micro XDR is scalable enough to keep up, so we have no concerns.

Technical support is exceptional. They are extremely engaged and supportive of everything we have needed.

Positive

We previously used Sophos but switched to Trend Micro because of its enhanced capabilities.

The initial deployment was straightforward. The deployment took between one and two weeks to complete. 

Moving between security tools requires an analysis of the existing environment to understand the current configuration, rulesets, and architecture. This analysis is quickly followed by implementation to improve the security posture and validation to ensure that the infrastructure is not only properly protected, but better protected than before.

Three people were required for the deployment.

We have been able to reduce some labor costs and use our resources more efficiently. These savings of hours per week are definitely a return on investment.

The solution is fairly priced.

I would rate Trend Micro XDR ten out of ten. The solution works extremely well for us. In a healthcare environment, the types of data and the sheer size of the attack surface are somewhat extraordinary. Having the enhanced capabilities of the Trend Micro toolset has been very important to us, and I strongly recommend it.

We have 11,000 users, five acute care hospitals, and around 80 clinics.

Two people are required to maintain Trend Micro XDR for the investigation of threats and incidents. When threat intelligence comes in from Trend Micro or we receive an alert, we validate or respond to it. A lot of this process has been automated, which has helped tremendously.

I strongly recommend Trend Micro XDR and advise doing a proof of concept against any current tool on the market, as it works extremely well and a POC can clearly demonstrate this in a short period of time.
