Has an easy-to-manage administrator console and provides a straightforward setup process
Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security. It provides basic security features and includes behavioral monitoring to detect anomalies and potential ransomware attacks. Since switching to Trend Micro, we have benefited from features such as ransomware protection, behavioral monitoring, and backup capabilities, which were significant factors in our decision to migrate. The administrator console is easy to manage and user-friendly. I rate it an eight out of ten. I highly recommend Trend Micro products. They offer a robust solution, and if budget is not an issue, there are more options available in the market to consider as well.

Cons

"There is room for improvement in some parts since it could be better in enhancing DNS Security."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"One challenging aspect of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection pricing for the integrator is the difficulty of estimating the cost after the initial presentation, particularly in relation to the company's size."
"The solution is expensive."
"his legacy version currently lacks WFA, which is a useful tool for managing bandwidth and applying data control limits to specific users. It's especially beneficial for organizations using Android and Azure."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"They could improve the platform's ability to control normal traffic and prevent attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
