Gives a good snapshot of what's going on
The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake. While I can go into it and run the scan for the all the information, I must enter each thing individually to see what I need. I can't print or email a report to somebody in a different environment or to any of my clients for the purpose of advising how they must proceed. All I can do is go into and look at it. It would be nice to able to take the report and determine what must be focused on most critically, as opposed to merely being given a tremendous amount of information. This should be addressed. The solution should also do a better job of informing a person of what happened. The son of one of my clients, who has the solution installed in his house, was blocked from playing a certain game. While the solution only informed the person that it was blocked, it did not state what it had blocked. With another client who was in the middle of playing a game in his office, the solution blocked this but provided no telemetry whatsoever. I had to search in an attempt to see what was being blocked. Turning the solution off, however, enabled the game to work perfectly. It was blocking it for some reason, but I had no clue why it was doing so. The solution should be providing reports of everything, not just specific incidents. The solution has many features, but does not inform one of what was actually done, leaving a person in the dark when it comes to things that are not apparent. For specific threats, one need simply login to know what is transpiring. When there was a need to involve support, I would be instructed to download a certain software for gathering information. But, this is not how things should be. Support should be providing the information it possesses of what transpired.

Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"Technical support is good."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"We like the Smart protection and the Virtual patching."
"The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
 

Cons

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup was complex."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The price is fair."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
