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 I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated.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

"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"My customers are satisfied with Trend Micro Deep Security since they feel safe and secure."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"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."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"The most valuable and advanced feature of the solution is the ability to check vulnerabilities."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are it has its own machine learning and it is quite fast, compared with the other solutions. When you're comparing the other solutions, each has pros and cons, you cannot claim one is 100 percent suitable for you. None of the solutions dominate in all areas."
"The most valuable features are web application features and real-time scans."
"he setup is simple."
"The solution can scale."
"The features I found most valuable in this solution are the micro apps. I also value the dashboard that offers better visibility and helps protect machines from attacks."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"The main features that are useful are application control, vulnerability protection, and XDR Vision One which we have recently started using. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The DDAN and the sand boxing features are very good and accurate."
 

Cons

"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"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."
"I want more options and flexibility when creating rules. I want to set rules that are contingent, like "If this happens, then this, this, and this will happen.""
"While the single console offers partial end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment, we leverage additional solutions to achieve comprehensive coverage, so this area can be improved by Apex One."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"The pricing is fair."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"Trend Micro Apex One's subscription model is definitely on the expensive side."
"It has a per-user license."
"Currently, the price for Trend Micro Apex One is good and there are no extra costs attached."
"When compared to Symantec, Kaspersky, and others the price is higher, they are more expensive."
"I think that this product is expensive."
"We have the smallest package of Trend Micro Apex One. The full package is expensive, and it was more expensive than we thought."
"Apex One's pricing is highly competitive. That's one advantage. We compared the pricing of solutions that do everything we want, and others are more expensive than what we have. There are no additional maintenance fees, but we have a support contract that we renew annually."
"The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive."
