High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Provides a single dashboard, integrates well, and has predictive machine learning
Microsoft's new Azure Code Signing is causing a lot of issues for us with One Endpoint Security. We currently have two systems in operation, on-prem and SaaS, and many of the agents won't upgrade beyond version B11564 because these newer versions require Azure Code Signing compliance on the endpoint. If we are not up to date with our Windows updates, we don't have this compliance. Irrespective of the Windows version we are running, we have to apply patches to the machines, if the OS is not damaged, to make them compliant. After that, we can upgrade to the latest version of the respective agent. This process also applies to both Deep Security and Workload Security. I have two production servers: one for Windows and another for Mac. These servers are available in both on-premise and SaaS versions. Additionally, I have a test server that is located on-premises. The significant distinction with the SaaS version is the absence of a test server where I can install a new version. This means I can't allow the agents on it to upgrade and then perform testing. In contrast, with the production SaaS version of One Endpoint Security, I have numerous agents transitioning and coming online. It's essential that these agents upgrade to a newer version. Among these agents, there are five or six different versions, not counting the really old ones that have yet to upgrade due to ACS non-compliance. I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated. These agents can't be left hanging while I wait to test the newest version that has just been released. New versions seem to come out every couple of months in the SaaS environment. In the past, when I solely used the on-premises version, I would review security bulletins for the SaaS version to identify any issues. I'm apprehensive about potential future situations involving this, primarily because the majority of our agents now operate on the cloud version. If a problem is discovered, rolling back on those agents would be challenging. It would require careful operation to revert them to a different version. The on-premises version of One Endpoint Security has an update function that allows us to manually update a bunch of servers. For example, if I just turned on a policy, I can force the agents to quickly download the policy and start following the update procedure or update settings. However, this function is not available in the SaaS version. This is because the system cannot communicate with the agent through the firewall. The SaaS version has an automatic update function and an update source entry in the update agents sub-menu, but it does not have a way to force agents to update. This is a problem because we cannot automatically update the agents. We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command. Currently, we have no choice but to wait until the agents find the updates themselves.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"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."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
"Trend Micro Apex One most valuable features are centralized management, ease of use, and help user management. Additionally, it can detect vulnerabilities in the end-users system"
"It's easier to integrate Apex One than Kaspersky. It also performs well, and the customer feedback has been positive."
"It has the ability to share, which is not available in other products."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
"The solution offers quick and timely updates."
"Workload security now has a feature called Activity Monitor for each endpoint."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
 

Cons

"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"Our company faced issues syncing the active directory accounts"
"Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects."
"The price could be reduced."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"Apex One uses a lot of RAM and other physical resources, and I also don't like the web interface."
"We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command."
"The reports are not eye-catching from the customer's point of view, which is something that should be improved."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"The solution could improve the Linux XDR functionality. It is not mature. There could be some improvement in the area of the use cases. For example, improvement is needed in OTN."
"The console is unstable, meaning it frequently malfunctions or lags, making it unreliable."
"I would suggest making the on-prem and cloud versions easier to manage via Apex One Central, a centralized management platform for customers and agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Trend Micro Apex One's subscription model is definitely on the expensive side."
"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."
"The price of the solution is fair and there is a per-user license to use the solution. Our costs are approximately $2,000 a month, it can get costly if you have a lot of users."
"Trend Micro Apex One's pricing is good."
"Currently, the price for Trend Micro Apex One is good and there are no extra costs attached."
"The price for Trend Micro is reasonable."
"The pricing was previously considered affordable, however, currently, it is on the rise due to a new licensing segregation policy."
"It's an annual subscription."
