Featured Reviews

Kimberly Brock - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time threat detection has improved with comprehensive asset scanning
The threat intelligence feature is expected to be a significant advantage. However, a section for software inventory and real-time comparison with current CVEs would be beneficial. One can review an inventory of assets being scanned, including a software inventory along with CVE updates based on a company's software subscriptions, would be a game changer.
Nadeem Syed - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick response times enhance client satisfaction while managing multiple security features
On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost. They need to improve their mobile device security solutions compared to competitors like Symantec or Kaspersky. They lack mobile device management features, despite offering security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"The agents give pretty good visibility into what is happening at the endpoint."
"They have a portal where you can evaluate and mitigate any vulnerabilities that you and your network might have."
"The asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective."
"They provide useful quarterly updates."
"Arctic Wolf is our eyes and ears 24/7 because we can't possibly watch all of our alerts. We may see all of these alerts, but our attention is distracted because we're working on other things."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"We can effectively manage the massive amounts of security data that we receive from various sources such as firewalls, switches, endpoints, and other log sources."
"The tool has significantly improved threat detection and response times for my clients' organizations. The solution has performed exceptionally well, and my customers are pleased with both the performance of the system and the support they receive."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR has indeed enhanced our customers' threat detection capabilities. Many of our clients are utilizing it and have experienced positive outcomes. Overall, I would recommend it, especially considering the rising popularity of Trend Micro and its excellent product support."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is that it protects all of the layers."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."
"The features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
"I appreciate the detection and response methodology used against virus and ransomware attacks."
 

Cons

"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"I would like to see them build the ability to co-sell an EDR platform, manage an EDR or manage the actual response, potentially from the issues that are coming up from the security risks."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"The only frustrating aspect is the lack of support for Windows on ARM devices. We cannot fully secure these devices until they release an updated version of their agent software."
"The main drawback is the lack of local language support in Oman."
"Being cost-effective is crucial, allowing customers with lower budgets to access the services. Offering a range of services at various price points ensures that customers can find suitable options without being compelled to explore alternative products or vendors."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents. This would allow us to explore the solution better and provide a better presentation to our customers. Addiontaally, there could be more automation features."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive."
"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."
"The product could benefit from some improvements in its interface and organization. Functionality-wise, it performs well, but there's room for enhancement in terms of user-friendliness. There are ample resources like documents and videos provided by most vendors to assist users, although reaching out for direct support might not always be straightforward."

"The pricing is fair."
"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is more expensive than CrowdStrike, but it also has more features. I don't remember the amount, but I do remember that it was on the higher side.

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
"There is a subscription needed to use Trend Micro Managed XDR. We are on an annual license."
"The solution is cost-effective."
