Provides good protection against viruses but support needs improvement
The product's initial setup phase wasn't too bad. The product's installation phase wasn't terrible, but it could have been good to club the things in the process, especially for the ones who are doing it for the first time, and it would be good if Microsoft offered users, someone, to talk to who knows the product. You will be gambling if you use Google for the tool because who knows if it really knows what Microsoft Defender for Business is all about. On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the easiest, I rate the setup phase as an eight out of ten. The setup phase was straightforward. As the tool was needed in a small shop, the solution's deployment was done in a couple of days. The solution was deployed in my company with the help of a small team of ten people. I had my head of IT help me in rolling it out in our company.

We can get consolidated logs of suspicious objects and malware attacks in a single console
I like Vision Central. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console. Vision One protects against zero-day attacks. It has a feature where it identifies suspicious objects and traffic. We believe it's easy to learn. We perform cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigation from a single console. This capability is essential. We have 15-point IPS, DDI, and all these different security products that we can manage from one console. One Endpoint Security gives us end-to-end visibility. We can forward all the logs to the same solution and interact with the SOC team immediately. We get an alert about any suspicious objects or abnormal behavior, enabling us to take immediate action.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I haven't had any problems with the tool's stability."
"The interface is quite user-friendly."
"If you're an Intune user, you can bring in certain capabilities like system-hardening policies, which further enhances the security."
"The solution provides good scalability."
"A few things are valuable. One is the alerting we see when any kind of intrusion is happening, any kind of malware is being deployed across the endpoints, or any kind of suspicious activity is going on. We have a footprint across all of North America, Canada, and Mexico, so we want to make sure that all our endpoints are protected and we are able to look for any anomalous activity."
"It is scalable."
"Microsoft Defender for Business is good for small and medium-sized businesses. It offers solid security flexibility and integration with tools like Microsoft Lighthouse and some other software. It takes some of the features of Defender for Endpoint EDR and provides those services for small and medium-sized business environments."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its central console."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"No down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because it's on cloud."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"I use Trend Vision One Endpoint Security for work control, application control, firewall, whitelist and blocklist filtration, analysis, monitoring, deep security for the servers, major monitoring, and IPS modules."
"The AI and machine learning feature is the most valuable because it helps mitigate threats based on an organization's behavioral patterns."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the response time and detection module."
 

Cons

"The solution's AI is notorious for false positives, and the time you have to spend training it is ridiculous."
"Defender's reporting is rather scattered, and its URL filtering mechanism doesn't really work."
"We faced some issues while running some applications on Mac."
"The biggest one is that Defender needs to be more proactive to the emerging threats. There can be tighter integration with email, especially how it integrates with our email system, which is the Microsoft Outlook suite. There should be the ability to react a lot quicker to emerging threats because sometimes, it takes a few days before some of these new threats are fully identified, and we need that to be a few hours."
"The security could always be improved."
"Talking with the tool's technician about any problem is very complicated."
"Defender's threat protection should be fine-tuned to reduce false positives. It could be more targeted, reflecting a continuous evolution in detecting. Also, it could be easier to integrate into other environments."
"The tool's support is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"One of Trend Micro's weaknesses is its high resource utilization."
"I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
"The scans in Trend Micro Apex One take a very long time and it takes up my system resources. I do not receive alerts. These areas could improve."
"In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced."
"More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since we're a nonprofit, we get pretty good discounts on the tool."
"The tool's cost has been a little high, but I do not think it was terrible."
"Defender for Business is included by default with an Office 365 premium subscription."
"It has to get more competitive because we are starting to see some of the competitors providing better pricing, and some of it, of course, is to gain market share. The Defender product pricing is probably a little higher than the competitors."
"The tool is cheap, while some other solutions are more expensive. I remember the tool cost about five euros for a workstation or for a user on a monthly basis."
"The price for Trend Micro is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is fine."
"It's an annual subscription."
"It's well priced at a yearly rate. The price itself depends on whether the solution is full suite, half suite, or some other engine. It's different according to the consumer's requests."
"We have a yearly subscription. Our subscription includes all solutions of Apex One, such as endpoint protection, DLP, and ransomware protection. We are paying around $30 for each."
"When compared with other solutions, the price could be better."
"Its pricing was good. It is very competitive with all the other vendors."
"There is an annual license."
