Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
John Trembly - PeerSpot reviewer
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 I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated.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

"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment. It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"The most valuable features are reporting and where we have the ability to report back and provide information when an item is quarantined or not quarantined."
"The behavior analytics feature is very useful, and its threat detection based on AI is very strong."
"The ADR capability of Trend Micro has helped us in investigating the root cause for any threat that is hunting by providing us with good visibility of the timeline and activity of the threat."
"Before Apex One, we used OfficeScan, which Trend Micro acquired, but it was on-prem. We were managing three or four anti-virus solutions. Apex One's cloud model allowed us to decommission the on-prem servers and consolidate. We get all the same features, and everything is upgraded automatically, so we only need to use the software."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well."
 

Cons

"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"The technical support could have better response time."
"We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command."
"Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement."
"Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself."
"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.""
"It is weak in terms of intelligence. By implementing Trend Micro Apex One, I wanted to see real-life scenarios. I deployed it on 50 clients to check if I could do lateral moments and zero-day exploits. I wanted to check how the zero-day protection works with Trend Micro. It fails with most of them because it is signature-based. They are not looking at the MITRE ATT&CK framework, so with zero-day attacks, it mostly fails."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future."
"The main thing they need to improve is their reporting functionality and the forensics for their on-premise consult. They do not have very good reporting features or forensic functionality in the on-premise version. They need to improve that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"Licensing costs depend completely on the number of users or licenses. They have a specific pricing structure. For example, if you are looking for 100 users to be on the product, in the Indian market (we're based in India), the cost is nearly $2,500 to $3,000 maximum for one three-year license."
"Its pricing was good. It is very competitive with all the other vendors."
"Its pricing should be improved."
"The pricing was previously considered affordable, however, currently, it is on the rise due to a new licensing segregation policy."
"The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive."
"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."
"Opting for cloud solutions can provide a more cost-effective and efficient alternative, with fewer dependencies on physical setups and unexpected costs associated with on-premises tasks."
"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."
